As I'm sure many of you are aware Rivals has a reputation for a community that is always stirring up drama, and that does often reflect in the posts that show up here, especially recently. It's just unfortunate that the lack of communication from NetEase has given nothing else for us to talk about.

I don't want rivals esports to be known as a drama farming community similar to the casual player base that many of you all (and myself) disagree with. I'm sure you guys are also tired of hearing the latest Flats, Lyte (not esports related drama), Kingsman etc drama.

Going forward, I'm asking you all to limit your drama related posts to things that have to do with rivals esports. If said drama has been posted recently, please refrain from posting something similar on the matter. You can check with the mods before posting any non esports related drama (most easily through discord, but mod mail works as well though it will be slower).

I'm also asking you all to refrain from posting over and over about the same drama, if there's some big community drama I might just go ahead and make a megathread.

This is a hard rule to enforce so I'm trusting you guys to uphold to this the best you can because I do believe the rivals esports community to be a great group of people.

This doesn't mean drama and rivalries isn't allowed here. I encourage you guys to shit talk each other and post about Fauwkz's daily Ragebait. I myself come from watching COD esports and I'm a Commanders and Wizards fan (combo of doom) so I love slander posts.

You can talk about rivals drama all you want in our discord. Little limits there.

(sorry I haven't been posting these and the late post)

TCO’s SG player killed the gambit and many others… makes me finally feel vindicated for banning SG in my ranked games. My Diamond teammates try to tell me it’s a bad ban when I’m the only one on the team who’s peaked GM LOL (the hardest season too, in 1.5 when everyone was playing). There’s no way it’s a meme.

You think and say .'-They are crazy to play in this composition'. But they are a team, for sure they tested this combination several times and it worked.

Personally I think a comp around SG triple support would be OP. Imagine having an SG THAT CAN AIM. It’s actually insane. Two taps cross map and with a mantis damage boost (I know mantis is D tier but still I guess pros like to play her…) and rocket ult combos… we’ll be in a SG meta I guarantee.
