Minority Mindset

When Faker proclaimed, “I think this is my best period,” it stirred a whirlwind in the League of Legends fanbase. With Faker being at the top of his game for almost a decade, such a claim left fans struggling with the audacity of it. A user named Ashankura humorously expressed his thoughts by saying, “It would be incredibly unfair if Faker peaked again after what he accomplished at Worlds.” This sentiment echoes the sentiments of many who view Faker’s past accomplishments as nothing short of extraordinary. It seems almost absurd to imagine Faker reinventing himself, being both exciting and amusing. After all, how often can a single player continue to astound the world? Fans are now discussing what a ‘prime’ Faker might even appear like.

In the midst of the chaotic din, there’s a voice or two trying to find the silver lining in Dylan Jadeja’s leadership. A fellow gamer, acap37, shared their long-standing connection with Dylan, praising him as a “natural born leader” who genuinely cares about Riot’s culture and our gaming community. They believe that he infuses empathy into his complex role, aiming to foster creative greatness among the team. These words offer a flicker of optimism amidst a storm of frustration, urging us to consider Dylan’s vision for the company in the long run. However, acap37 also highlighted “so many reasons” why they trust him, but there simply wasn’t room to list them all in one post. It’s a hopeful take, but it seems overshadowed by the overwhelming negative vibes floating around the subreddit.

Discussing what sets Mel apart as an unusual champion requires first grasping her unique mechanics. Unlike many ADCs who are considered “fragile,” Mel heavily leverages her spells and abilities in unconventional ways. Reddit user MazrimReddit noted that banning Mel could significantly decrease your chances of winning, stating “By banning her from your own team, you are greatly boosting your win chance.” This observation sparked debate among players about whether permanently banning Mel should be the new trend. However, does this make her the weakest champion in the game? Or perhaps she’s merely underestimated? In any case, her impact on pick-ban decisions implies that even if she’s overlooked often, her presence can bring chaos to a game.

The Honor system was implemented to encourage players to maintain a respectful gaming atmosphere, by acknowledging those displaying good sportsmanship with rewards. However, as several gamers have noted, this system seems more like an unfulfilled pledge than a dependable motivator. Aggli’s initial post initiates the conversation by bemoaning the change of Honor tokens into Orange Essence. Instead of offering exciting skins or cosmetics to redeem with tokens, players are left feeling disheartened. “What can I use that Orange Essence for? Nothing,” Aggli laments, echoing the frustration of players who trusted Riot’s system. This situation suggests carelessness, and it raises an important concern: why should we strive for good behavior if there’s no tangible reward for it?

As a gamer, here’s my take on that:

“Back in LA, I was demoing Atelier Ryza, a game that carried the weight of potentially saving the series if it succeeded. The team had put everything on the line to make sure it would sell well in Japan. And boy, did it ever! With Ryza’s success under our belts, they’re now setting their sights on the West.

Just a few hours ago, Hosoi flew in from France, fresh off the Europe leg of the press tour. This was the first time Gust had taken part in an international preview tour for one of their games. Exciting times ahead!

Atelier Yumia is set to launch globally, offering support for nine languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
