Nice, I didn't even think to look up its IMDb page. Don't recognize the dude. I thought for sure it was a young rising star from the movies or TV who had recent exposure in some major projects, but I guess not.
People were claiming it was cracked on the first day. I think I remember reading the first thing within like 7 hours of beta starting.
You have to link a Riot account to a Twitch account and watch streamers that have drops enabled and then you get a chance at a drop. It's very different than Overwatch. This has CS style game play with Paladins graphics, a few tactical devices from Rainbow Six Siege, and ultimates from Overwatch. It is pretty fun though.
Number of streams open doesn't effect your chances. They've said its weighted so that people who've been 'watching' longer have a higher chance of getting a drop though.
It's a tremendous resource. I've said in the past I think it offers the most useful, generally accurate ratings for the most popular AAA games from gamers themselves. It's less trafficked and less useful than the user vote on Metacritic for smaller games, but also less trolled by toxic gamers and less tainted by corporate influence-farming, which is why I personally find IMDb more reliable for larger games. Meanwhile, OpenCritic is by far the most useful review aggregator for professional game reviewers; far superior to Metacritic.
