i dun geddit. what discussion? are they using timers? or do you mean timing?

timers should NOT be there ticking on our screens.

It's in the OP.....

didn't spot the link there :>

did I miss a thread somewhere? the only timer discussion I remember was about the direction

It's been a thing for years. "Enable respawn timers so newer people don't have to time the items anymore. It doesn't matter for the pros because they already time well."

Also wether or not using timers is cheating or not.

and from that ensued an actual discussion and not just bashing?

Prooobably more bashing :)
Just trying to show that League of Legends has (finally) come to that point. I understand there are no actual timers ingame and they use something external?


Looks like they were told to have it removed from the software, it was a voice comm soft. that had it included somehow.

Based on a recent announcement from Riot, and our desire to always remain in compliance with their wishes, we have taken the proactive step of removing Ultimate, Dragon, and Baron timers as well as the ability to join a voice session without being prompted. We've always loved and respected League of Legends and Riot and trust the game designers to make the right choices for the game.

CMSS retirement thread is a worldwide emergency compared to this.

The point is more "haha, they're finding out about things we've been talking about for years"

TL;DR

too league; didnt read huehuehuehu

I almost smiled!

Mixed feeling about it: i think it's unfair towards the players (especially junglers) that trained themselves to time mentally both jungles and neutrals but,at the same time, everyone can do the calculation xx:xx + 5 minutes and type it in chat to check it later.

If there's a thing LoL doesn't need is a further simplification (sp?) of the metagame, which this cursetimers promote.
