@AdamRackis @gortok I would be deeply ashamed of working at a broken company like Riot. I guess you are not. That’s a choice for you to make. Have a nice life!

@AdamRackis @gortok Adam, you work at Riot games which hates women. Maybe dig yourself out from the 6 layers of glass houses you live in before commenting. Why would you choose to work at this disaster of a company? https://t.co/hwUQ7ZKknR

@mroach maybe you don't realize that faster devices have better battery life. They get to idle quicker where the maximum power savings are. Now, if you run something that loads the CPU real hard for many hours, it is a different story, but most don't. TANSTAAFL
