Kekeke, are people really *****ing about this being on the front page. MOBAfail never ceases to amuse me.

As for this being a moment of brilliance... well, not really. The Caitlyn burned a Heal and a Flash when she probably didn't need to. She could have safely ultied from where she was standing prior to chasing because Zyra gave her vision, if she didn't already have it. All-in-all, it was a pretty wasteful play.


The replay didn't simulate vision. That's what gives the illusion that lee was in the clear from the get go. Zyra's vision was blocked by the trees, meaning that she wouldn't have had the vision to make the shot till a little later. Even then, the enemy's team galio was right around the corner. Waiting even a second more would've resulted in a blocked Caitlyn ult.


That's why this play was significant.

Idk if they were burned tbh, i think she would've kinda died if she didnt heal (lizard/red, do not remember well) also if lee would have got cait with that q she would have died before the ulti could go on. On a final note, i didn't know that cait could flash while ulting without interrupting it, maybe just if you do it quickly it works, dunno since i played her twice i think.

Guys the reason why they put it on the front page is because it's a Riot post. Who cares if it isn't actually news. We always post everything that shows up on the launcher news feed, so why change it just cause we had one stupid theorycrafting blog there for like, one day.

Because egostroking diamond/plats get their panties in a bunch by stuff they see every once in a while in their ranked queue range, I dunno? Or maybe they don't like community spotlights when it's not them in the spotlight? People forget that the 95% of people outside of plat/diamond would be impressed/learn something from stuff like this.


Either or, this kind of bickering is ******ed. IF IT'S TOO ******ED FOR THE TOSH YOU KNOW YOU'VE GONE FULL ****** I DUNNO.

Right now, our news posts are (mostly) a copy of what Riot releases as news. We're looking into ways of making these news posts feel less spammy, but we don't want to weed out certain posts created by them because we think different users will have different interests and all posts will be valuable to at least parts of the community.

There's a reason I addressed this in my blog. I don't mind people disagreeing with this strategy (and as I also explained, we agree that posts like this can make the news section feel spammy to MOBAFire users), but it's not "one guy backstage deciding what should or should not reach front page".

@Emoriam
Right now we're thinking of reducing the number of Riot posts by making compilation posts instead of copying the articles one by one. I have more ideas for other series of news posts, but haven't been able to work on them for the past 5 days or so due to gamescom. Appreciate the feedback :)

Thanks to jhoijhoi for the signature!

Or maybe we don't like it because it's genuinely irrelevant and doesn't belong?
