I still remember watching this video of a 12yo kid opening a hundred TF2 crates with his birthday money, only to get absolutely nothing and looking absolutely devastated. Gambling is one thing when it involves adults - if you're grown and still pissing away your money, whatever, it's your life choices. But when your primary audience is under 18, it should 100% be illegal. I guess it is a small comfort that there are only 4 loot-box exclusive skins, and that you can disenchant your crappy loot box winnings into the good stuff. That's better than TF2 and MtG booster packs, at least. But I still don't like it. Is it any different then the hockey/baseball/magic whatever card packs of my youth? Most people i know opened something and most didnt end up gambling addicts | ||

The cards anecdote is a good example of that. I spent a lot of money on Pokemon cards as a kid, it must be a few hundred dollars. For a kid's amusement, that's pretty insane. The CSGO YouTube gambling fiasco is a good example of how exploitable children are. Actually, psychology wise, spending RP vs. Physical dollars is very different. Particularly for youths. So true. RP is basically an in game currency that Riot has set the value of, and you don't get a real feel for how much it's worth because there's nothing to compare it to. If they wanted to, they could set the prices of everything to actual currency, but I'm pretty sure if you saw Pulsefire Ezreal for 8 dollars you'd hesitate. Idk how much that 400 RP I've had lying around on my account for months is actually worth, but every now and then I get tempted to use it to buy a skin I'll never even use. | ||

Either that or displacements got added together. Like Ali headbutted her and half of Lee kick changed direction because Alistar headbutt tends to override most other forms of displacement. | ||

The newest displacement ignores all others before it. There's a period of time after the fish drops off the target and the ult knocks enemies up. Alistar had incredibly poor timing in that he moved Ori out of the way during that time. | ||
