TIL Frank is the king of Scotland

@Frank the likelyhood of that being him is better than the likelyhood of both nexuses being destroyed at the same time :)

mission accomplished

Yep and now the top voted is by the president of riot!

I think that question had 8 answers at one point

@KevinvanderVelden prove it :)

@StrixVaria ok

@StrixVaria is "we don't know" really a valid answer?

@KevinvanderVelden thats bs its a design pattern you can do it in any language

@KevinvanderVelden events

@Arperum exactly so there is no way for us as outside players to know how they implemented it

@StrixVaria yes more than likely that

but what i'm saying is that we dont know how its implemented

@JasonBerkan they probably dont worry about it because the chance of it happening are slim to none

is more likely than having some massive single threaded server that waits for everything to occur in a single file line

if(bluenexusdetroytime == purplenexusdestroytime) bluesidewin=true;

i am

Its much simpler to just have a check that says if they're the same make one side the winner

so when i hit something the server waits til it processes my hit before it lets anyone else do anything?

but i'm making an assumption on implementation

those times can be the same

i'm saying there is probably a blue side nexus destroy time and a purpleside nexus destroy time that are both settable on the main game thread by other event threads

thats not how programming works

you're assuming there's some single process that is going through the game input line by line

@Rapitor that requires knowledge of how its programmed

Typically questions that require inside knowledge of how games are programmed arent allowed

@Rapitor the answers are all opinion based because none of them are league developers

gaming.stackexchange.com/q/182306/18146 End the answering vtc as opinion based/needing developer knowledge

gaming.stackexchange.com/q/181826/18146 as example

It seems that information would change too frequently and be opinion based

yea

league in particular

Whats our stance on item build questions?

@Powerlord this would happen when the community deems an answer better than the accepted one and would be to alert them that the one they accepted may not be the best.

@AshleyNunn new answers are great and im glad they send notifications, but not all answers are new and most new answers have 0 votes :) so as an asker i cant measure there merits because if i knew the best answer i wouldnt have asked the question

its not the accept its the asker having the best information provided by the se community

Either way this is a non-issue for people experienced with se, mostly just an issue for new ppl

So if the increase delay is out, is there any way a notification to the asker could be sent out when the top answer is no longer the accepted answer and they should maybe relook at the question?

can the community give an opinion in 15 mins? I'm mostly saying that the community can help shift the better answers to the top by upvotes if there is a longer time before accept (this is again mostly for more complex answers)

@AshleyNunn why do we upvote answers?

@AshleyNunn i think you misunderstood what i was curious about, of course the asker should have the ability to accept whatever they want

Anyway @Frank thanks for the information/link was helpful

@MBraedley of course but the person with the most immediate need of accurate info is generally the asker :D

@Frank touche but it still just irks me sometimes when answers that have some flawed info are accepted and the asker leaves with that flawed info thinking its correct. Oh well guess thats a personal problem heh

so theres less incentive to answer it

@Frank my primary goal is helping the asker of the question, but in alot of cases once an answer is accepted the asker may not bother coming back to the question

I'm sure dedicated answerers would still answer accepted answers, but theres less incentive

@Frank I understand that it just seems like for more complex answers the community would benefit more from increasing the time before accept

@Frank but the asker may not have access to the best answers in just 15 mins! :)

@Frank ah thanks, has there been any talk on extending it to a day or making it a bit longer? Ive run into a couple scenarios where i see an answer thats only partially correct and could have a much better answer but the asker has accepted it already
