I'm starting to laugh at people saying "You play EM? what a noob"
How does it make someone a "noob" if they just want the game not to drag on for so long?

I understand that some builds and items are going to be different
since you will not be able to rush certain items.

but seriously..
I can play both EM and Normal games and do just as good in both.

What's funny is
When someone who doesn't play EM plays an EM game then cries
"Well I don't play EM, EM is for noobs that is why I lost"
That is just fucking pathetic, EM isn't noob.. obviously you're a fucking noob if you can't
deal with the changes in both modes (Which isn't that big)

I'm just ranting on now >< I just hate how everyone brings up how EM is a "noob" thing.
I really don't think it is.

Opinions?

Someone who plays non EM can play EM games, and someone who only plays EM cannot play non EM.
Just the way it works, I've played with alot of 1700+ psr and 2.0 kdratio with whatever shit they have and 90+% em and they suck BALLS.

But I know what you mean, ofcourse you can play both.. When I don't have time, I play em matches on my other account.

My opinion is that EM changes the gameplay too much, supports are not nearly as viable, promotes a 5-carry teams. EM is, sadly, for noobs.

Playing it so that the game doesn't last "as long" is not a very good argument either. EM's are in FACT shorter, by about 5minutes ^^ Rather play a normal game.

Part of this is true, however EM games are definitely not 5 minutes shorter. They can be anywhere from 15-30 minutes shorter on average. I also wouldn't say that EM is for noobs but i would definitely agree a lot of noobs do play EM but at the same time a lot of noobs also play Non-EM so yeah... I personally think EM is for the people who actually do things with their lives and don't have time to play hour long games. Not tryin to knock you for playing Non-EM because i went through a phase where i played it but that was when i had tons of time to kill and nothing to do. Also you can be amazing with support heroes in EM games. Any hero can be amazing its all about the player.

My view on it is that EM = 5 Players pick a carry, don't need to farm that much, don't really need to worry about dying early game, denying or last hitting.

Therefore EM = For noobs.

EM is for fucking scrubs. The changes are actually extremely drastic, to the metagame, hero compositions, heck the whole game itself.

You kids are idiots. Non-EM is for fucking nerds who sit on their computer all day so if your one of those guys then sure go ahead and play Non-EM otherwise play EM.
