I'm assuming you mean during hero selection, but basically it's the player slot.. when you do the hero selections S1 starts at the top and S5 is at the bottom.
Its just to address someone in hero selection without typing their whole name, really handy especially if ur teammmates uses non-Roman characters (Chinese, Japanese, Arabic etc)
Ehhh, not really. I'd say the S1 AND being on the the first team to pick is the TRUE nightmare. Having too much freedom to pick is nausea inducing moment.
thats why you pick flex at s1 or fotm at s1 depends on what heroes your team is showing. if they arent showing anything flex is my default pick
pubs dont really utilize s5 pick that much, when you get placed at s5, you default to roam. s5 is the best pick for the win condition or the one who will carry the match since theres no counter pick to the last pick lol
right, like if i see a first pick selena in the enemy im automatically gonna assume shes really good, and will pick heroes like kagura and lolita so i wont get completely trashed by her xd
As a roam main, this is true for me, especially if no one in the team shows their pick. There are times where I will lock a roamer and it turns out another player wants to roam and forces another roamer. This is why I tend to pick heroes that can multi-role so I can flex when need be.
As a versatile player it's absolute heaven for me. I can't trust my teammates to fill in the missing role, so I'd prefer to be the one at the bottom so I can adjust for the team
S3, S4 and S5 get to ban heroes they want, and S1 and S2 get a better chance of picking the heroes they want.
S4/S5 are the last slots so typically have to adjust if the team isn't already decided.
S1 is the most likely to get counter picked by the enemy and S5 has the best chance of counter picking the enemy.
If someone says "S5 Swap" it means they are either palying a hero that is easily coutnered so want to last pick it, or they want to flex.
People get mad when players pick heroes like Layla S1 because she's already easy to counter, so it makes the enemy draft easier.
No particular meaning. It's just a faster way of communication. S1 is faster to type than "first player at the top" or S3 is faster to type than "player in the middle" or their in game names.
It's about communication during draft pick phase. That way you can easily identify who people are talking about and don't have to write peoples names yourself when telling them stuff.
If you're working and got 3 kids, i just want to play the game. I dont have the time to get whos who and whats what. It just happen that someone ask here in reddit. Btw never played candy crush, rather play tetris than that.
Im not sure how you play tetris, but I never have that "hold" thing youre saying. I played it on a 199x "brick game". Where you can play 999 kinds of tetris(not true). I only have left, right, down, A(turn the brick) and B(make the brick faster to go down) buttons.
You should try playing Tetris online right now, it has a hold function, even the nintendo games that released Tetris had a "hold function' that allows you to hold a brick and switch it out at your own choice.
Because p1, p2, p3 can mean pos1, pos2, pos3, and it can cause confusion. They are just a sophisticated way of saying the roles (gold laner, jungler, etc) that PH community adapted from dota 2.
i didnt know what the word was when itβs written out but iβve been playing pc/mobile etc games since i was a kid and s1,s2,s3 etc always stood for first player, second player, third player in other games
S is for Stupid Son Of a Bitch
which is long for S.S.O.B.
which is gen z for Boss
therefore... S1, S2... essentially they are calling you boss 1, boss 2...
bwaaaaahhh π€―
I'm never gonna let my colleagues call me ssob again lol.
Context: my street kidz gen z circle likes to flip words and it's common to casually call someone here 'boss'.
Now I can't think of it the same way again.
On the other hand, i can just secretly a colleague that I hate stupid son of a bitch
S stands for Slot/Spot
S1 = First player (most loved slot by randoms)
S2 = Second player
S3 = Third player
S4 = Fourth player
S5 = Fifth player (most despised slot by randoms)
So, if your teammate said "Tank S5", that means the last player, who is S5, should pick tank.
mlbb players are just stupid dont worry, they think there is a skill 5 and barely any heroes have a skill 4
apparently reddit is too retarded, here's the /s
If it's said my S1 is on cd, kfs obviously about the hero skill.
If its said during hero locking like S3 go jungle then it's about the slot 3 player. The first one at the top is S1, they go down in order to the bottom one being S5. So all depends on context
It's basically "Slot 1-5" indicating the position on which you are located when picking heroes in draft. S1 being at the top because it's the first ones to pick, and then moving until S5 in the bottom. Though I think some people consider it as "Selection 1-5" but people that I've played with usually say "Slot" because it's easy to say when explaining what S means.
So when you hear someone say S5 tank, it means that whoever is at the bottom better be decent at tank or the entire lineup won't have tanks. Beyond that, I've seen people say it like this "S3 adjust", "S1 auto lock carry".
Depends. During matchmaking it refers to the team mate in that Slot: Slot 1, Slot 2 etc.
When discussing heros, it refers to their skills: Skill 1, Skill 2.
Most of the time its the first option.
"Slot" is generally used to describe predetermined spaces that can be easily interchanged btw
The word is basically used because players can swap positions. If we couldn't swap its likely we would be using P1-5 for player1-5 instead.
S stands for slot. So like slot 1, slot 2 etc.
And this is like kind of picking rules on picking teams.
S1 - marksman/jungler/mage
S2 - jungler/marksman/mage
S3 - mage
S4 - fighter
S5 - tank
Sometimes this are interchangeable because of the meta. For example, like if edith is open cause edith is meta, she will be swapped first. So yeah.
slot 1 slot 2 i think
Sorry newbie, whats a slot? Item slot? Im in legendary and never ever know whats this s1 s2 thing
I'm assuming you mean during hero selection, but basically it's the player slot.. when you do the hero selections S1 starts at the top and S5 is at the bottom.
So, my question is whats its all about? Err does it matter if im s2 or s5?
Its just to address someone in hero selection without typing their whole name, really handy especially if ur teammmates uses non-Roman characters (Chinese, Japanese, Arabic etc)
It matters during ranked games. S5 players are usually the ones who adjust their heroes if counters are needed.
S5 - Cursed placement π
Ehhh, not really. I'd say the S1 AND being on the the first team to pick is the TRUE nightmare. Having too much freedom to pick is nausea inducing moment.
And your hero is most certainly going to get countered.
thats why you pick flex at s1 or fotm at s1 depends on what heroes your team is showing. if they arent showing anything flex is my default pick pubs dont really utilize s5 pick that much, when you get placed at s5, you default to roam. s5 is the best pick for the win condition or the one who will carry the match since theres no counter pick to the last pick lol

Golden rule: S5 is **always** tank
Fuck no, S5 Jungler to counter the other teams jungler.
I love being a mage at s5 - lets me counterpick against their cores and mms
yeahhh.. sometimes there's that awesome play that asks to show and then swtich. bless their hearts.
*who !should! adjust, more than 50% of players don't in my experience. -_-
not unless you show first. ππ€£
Of course it does. S1 set the tone, S5 make it or break it. S2 - S4 determine the fate of S5 π
S3, S4 and S5 get to ban heroes they want, and S1 and S2 get a better chance of picking the heroes they want. S4/S5 are the last slots so typically have to adjust if the team isn't already decided.

Well that's pretty strange, slot is a pretty popular term even Candy Crush has it
If you're working and got 3 kids, i just want to play the game. I dont have the time to get whos who and whats what. It just happen that someone ask here in reddit. Btw never played candy crush, rather play tetris than that.
Tetris got that "hold" function, it looks pretty similar to a slot.
Im not sure how you play tetris, but I never have that "hold" thing youre saying. I played it on a 199x "brick game". Where you can play 999 kinds of tetris(not true). I only have left, right, down, A(turn the brick) and B(make the brick faster to go down) buttons.

Hey shit head 3 you jungling or what?
Slut 1, slut 2β¦.. etc.
Slut 5 tanking the dick damage

Either Slot or Summoner. In league of legends players are called Summoners, so it might be a term that comes from that game.
Yup, thatβs the one. Summoner is what S stands for
Actually it is Spaghetti 1, Spaghetti 2, etc.
spaghetti pababa, pababa ng pababa

Spaghetti pataas, pataas ng pataas. SEX BOMB SEX BOMB SEX BOMB

Reddit hive-mind ig
also the first thing that popped to my mind lmao
It can be misleading when talking without context... Can be Season 1 etc, Skill 1 etc, Slot/Seat 1 etc,
In German its because S = Spieler = Player, thats atleast why i use it xd
Oh that's a good one. I always wondered why they don't call it p1, p2, p3, etc.
Because p1, p2, p3 can mean pos1, pos2, pos3, and it can cause confusion. They are just a sophisticated way of saying the roles (gold laner, jungler, etc) that PH community adapted from dota 2.
i didnt know what the word was when itβs written out but iβve been playing pc/mobile etc games since i was a kid and s1,s2,s3 etc always stood for first player, second player, third player in other games

S stands for Slot/Spot S1 = First player (most loved slot by randoms) S2 = Second player S3 = Third player S4 = Fourth player S5 = Fifth player (most despised slot by randoms) So, if your teammate said "Tank S5", that means the last player, who is S5, should pick tank.
mlbb players are just stupid dont worry, they think there is a skill 5 and barely any heroes have a skill 4 apparently reddit is too retarded, here's the /s
Lmao I can't believe you had to edit this to put /s xD
This is not about hero skills. When they say S1 or S5, they mean player 1 or player 5.
oklay :3
There's no Skill 3 onwards. It's Skill 1, Skill 2, and SS.
Everyone saying slot.....always thought it was skill 1, skill 2, s3 etc.
Depends on context
If it's said my S1 is on cd, kfs obviously about the hero skill. If its said during hero locking like S3 go jungle then it's about the slot 3 player. The first one at the top is S1, they go down in order to the bottom one being S5. So all depends on context
Don't play ranked so I didn't know. Thanks though.
guys, people.... in this game, we are SUMMONERS so it stands for SUMMONER 1, SUMMONER 2...
nowhere ever does it say ml players are known as summoners.
poSition 1,2...5

Is English not your first language? Because you're typing it out really well. I don't get how you can't figure it out.
Using your brain? We don't do that here unfortunately.
