If he spending more time one videos and do research what he make a video of but the problem is he doesn’t he just uploaded it just to get it out ASAP with made things bad my opinion but this video here isn’t bad at all

@SkyLord7000 & @Rillian I will absolutely ask about those two questions. Thanks for sharing some. I'm going to be doing research between Prof's video and anything else between now and Sunday to assure I get the most information for the community of MCOC as well as make it known we appreciate the heck out of his contributions and wish him well in the future.

Thanks everyone! Any more just DM me or hit me up on Line ID

Exactly my thoughts. If he spent at least an hour researching before he posted, about 80% of his videos would never make it past the idea stage.

Demonzfyre

True... Now Ilacskills on the other hand...

danielmath

At what point is it malicious though? 5 vids? 10? 20? 100? it’s not like he’s only down it once or twice or ten times.

StevieManWonder

Idk about him, I think I’ve only ever watched one of his videos and it was about thanking Lagacy or something

StevieManWonder

It becomes malicious when he does it maliciously. Being careless isn’t inherently malicious. No one is experiencing physical harm because of his videos nor is the misinformation he spreads really important.
Now, since he is a media professional (teaches journalism) he should have at least a small idea that being responsible with the information he gives is incredibly important, but he just doesn’t seem to.

Guess @Eb0ny-O-M4w wasnt hyping maw for just jokes after all

Kabam Zanzibar

Out of respect for Kabam Broccoli, I would like to keep this thread open, if possible, so I will give it a chance to steer back on course so people can discuss the interview itself. Please stay on topic rather than arguing over opinions of the interviewer going forward. Thank you.

Bruh lets drop the personal hate . The video was actually well done, so bashing the creator is just an example of the fallacy known as “ad hominem”.

The answers he gave were really insightful and just the way he presented himself, you can tell he had a lot of passion for the game, so at the end of the day who cares who posted it

ChriissR

Too many kids on these forums who won't watch a well done interview because it's on someone's channel. It's ridiculous reading these comments 😂

Anyway, the interview was super well done, alot of informative answers. Definitely worth the hour.

Spreading conspiracy theories is damaging to the community as mentioned already.

I’m still debating myself as to whether I should bite the bullet and watch this 1 and only video of his.

Rookiie

This is the first spelling mistake I've ever seen in a DNA3000 post. Maybe he isn't the Vision after all 🤔 or maybe the Vision is capable of making spelling mistakes ???

Edit: On a serious note, I agree with this. Kudos to Prof for giving this to the community. It's about Broccoli too not Prof so there really isn't any reason to throw him shade.

AverageDesi

90% of the videos are crystal openings though

Pulyaman

Can't wait to watch the interview. Wish I could mute only profs voice though. I have watched some videos after hearing about him in the forums, and the first thing that annoyed me was the voice and the speed at which he talks. That won't make me miss the interview though. Got to take the good with the bad. 😂

Rookiie

Yeah but even in openings, he says very questionable stuff about champions.
Just the other day he was commentating an opening where someone pulled a Jabari Panther.

It goes like this:
"I, I really don't know if she's good. Like, I don't know anyone that uses her. I think I have her *eye twitch* and don't use her. If you took her out of the game, it might be years before I noticed. I probably would never notice *shrugs*."

Jabari Panther is a great champion 😭 I don't care if anybody uses her, that's not the defining measure of a champion's potential in the game.

See, I really like Prof Hoff the person, but he needs to realize that saying stuff like this to his followers is going to cause an effect. He creates a lot of Prof Minions who come back here and regurgitate what they've heard over the forum. And this forum is filled with really, really experienced players who aren't going to receive these opinions well.

I am not going to tell Prof how to do what he does. Again, I like Prof the person, but if he continues posting and spreading information without doing his due diligence, you can expect him to continue receiving this sort of reaction from the vets.

AverageDesi

I don;t know man, jabari is a nonexistent champ

but i agree, too many people here coming in with data and algorithm nonsense

AverageDesi

yes. very malicious to mercs and cheaters. i don't know how he sleeps at night

I made sure to skip over the parts when Prof Hoff speaks when making the timestamps so if he starts talking you can move to the next timestamp and not miss much.

Eb0ny-O-M4w

You've heard it.

"Ebony Maw [...] best champion in the game"

BitterSteel

I haven’t seen it yet but can I take a few guesses at what’s in the gap?

“Is not the”

“Wishes he was the”

“After 15 more buffs, would be half way towards the”

“Oops, I mean Mr Negative is the”

“Plus about one hundred times more damage and utility would be the”

“Shouldn’t ever be in the same sentence as the”

Demonzfyre

That the famous patent, RNG being rigged, reasons why people have multiple 5* AGs of the same class and why you pull certain champs only.
