Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

I'll answer my own question: It's because we're a help desk and that's when all the clients have left (because their bosses don't inflict cruel medieval torture on them) so it's a pretty free time for everyone.
But, dammit, I'm a dev, not one of the help deskers, I shouldn't need to go.
But what if they need to you to explain in progress stuff to the help deskers so that when they get called about it they can have some excuse as to why they don't have any way of helping the customers currently?
Nah, I'm basically around to develop side tools for the people, I help everyone else do their jobs but they don't need to know anything about what I do and I don't need to know any of the functional stuff that goes on at the meetings.
The help desk deals with two programs. One I used to develop for, but currently don't have access to either the code or the database. It's a big and complicated enough program that I can hardly work on memory. The other program I've never done any kind of development for, so I have absolutely no understanding of the technical or functional sides.
So I go to private meetings with the heads of the help desk where they tell me the tools they want developed, and then later I go to the staff meetings where I smile and nod and pretend I have any idea what they're talking about with all of their accounting nonsense.

Re: [MOBA] league and dota and smite and qtpie
Preaching to the choir, oh god.Given the general play level at sub 12 I'm definitely inclined to agree that flash more than likely wouldn't make any real impact at low level play beyond occasional escapes, but that just raises the question, why would you restrict its use in the first place? All you're doing is removing the ability for better players to play certain characters effectively, and helping weaker players build bad habits since they wont be playing against flash initiators until they pass an arbitrary prerequisite point. Basically, your knowledge of the game pre level 15 or so doesn't count for shit since that's not actually how league plays once you hit the end game.I just prefer wins and losses to be based on fast reactions and knowledge of game mechanics, not because no one on your team could initiate properly because you don't have flash.you are disadvantaged for not playing the game as opposed to those who do play the game? wow
Edit: BRT, do it. Join us.
to be honest, games at around lvl 12 or so aren't going to be decided by having flash or not, they're going to be decided by the team that has better mechanical play and ability to work together
restricting summoner spells by level is a thing that can be questioned but suddenly having them or not isn't going to make lower, inexperienced players suddenly better ones
my thought was the reasoning is that they're slowly increasing the things you have to know about as you go. there's already a ton of things somebody new to mobas have to keep track of at any given moment. also players can get to 30 and still not know how to use/perform mechanics well that they were introduced to at level 1 (map awareness, last hitting, etc).
I definitely understand wanting to ease people into mechanics slowly, since getting into league league (or any moba really) is incredibly daunting, but arbitrarily limiting your toolkit against players who may or may not have those tools seems like a bad way to handle that, especially since summoners that require far more map awareness and game knowledge, like teleport, are available at level one.
Also for the record, I don't hate league or think it's a trash game or any dumb shit like that. I just have serious misgivings with how they handle specific aspects with the game.
