Nope. Not in it.

Well, i guess thats natural for GGG - doing that type of "streamer preference mechanics" because they all their PR system are based on streamers, twitch highlights and all that stuff. I say, look even at all those degenerate ***posting under every league announce or stuff - "KEKW POG KAPPA POGGERS POGCHAMP" and all that crap. Damn. When you want to read other ppl opinions about something new and all thread pages are ridden with THIS.

they have the ability

...Of course they "have the ability". They are coding the damn game. Streamer RNG is a myth - a conspiracy theory, but you can't convert a flat earther. So people believing streamer RNG exist, will always do so - no matter what I say, what the dog says or what GGG/Chris says. The "believers" will never be able to prove anything, but will go on preaching on the forums for years to come.

The "streamer priority" fiasco was a massive fuck-up, and totally removes every competitive aspect of the game. It was (un)surprisingly unprofessional. You could see the backlash and the hate from the community. Now, how would that look if "streamer RNG" was a thing? It would destroy the game if it became public. No one would ever trust them again.

Is it worth it? For some low-ball advertisement? Of course not.

If it is there they for sure would not remove it. Plus I believe several people have already pointed out that Chris on previous talks has pretty much stated they have the ability to change individual player drops( context was BOTS ). Not much of a stretch from there to buffing or nerfing whomever they see fit.

Excellent point!

what GGG/Chris says

Funny thing is that they have not said anything. Not even a flat denial or other brush off.

So if Chris came out and said: "There's no streamer RNG!", it would make a difference? As I said, people believing that there is streamer RNG happening, will never believe any denial, brush off or even statistical proof. It doesn't matter.
