My replacement Nostromo is in town according to the tracking link! No more locked camera! No more missed heals/shields! My apologies to anyone whom I've thrown games playing with the past couple weeks, but I should be back in top form now! Well... let's be honest, I should be back in "you are probably a little better off playing with me than some random" form.

@Pacov That's a great program, you're going to love it. Make sure you have your favorite champs setup ahead of time because its too late to use the program once you're in game afaik. What I mean by "in game" is when you hear "Welcome to Summoner's Rift!" its to late but you can still set it up in champ select. Not sure if the loading screen is too late, but you can have everyone saved and ready to select so it shouldn't be an issue. @Vlad I used to
Not many instances when it is a good time to run into the enemies fed Darius.
" The current armor pen values, both percentage and flat, were designed on the assumption that flat came before percentage. A key part of reversing that order is therefore adjusting values as appropriate to avoid exactly the sort of issues you're discussing as a result." Sounds like they're going to redo the values to balance things out, but I'm guessing it will still be a huge help to AD Casters by scaling the value of their Flat Pen items/runes. No more "Yay...

Ezreal is played by terrible people in general. And these folks that usually act horribly are very upset that their OP champ is getting a significant nerf, so they're very angry and bitter. Sorry you had to deal with that... Seriously though, its a very hard thing to use criticism to make you better. Sometimes its not delivered in a positive manner, and sometimes its not useful at all because its not true. That Ezreal might have been right that you needed to be
Hey, I've had people on my team who would ditch the group during crucial late game moments to chase red dots, kill wolves, etc. I get how that can be extremely frustrating and I also understand how everyone has to be on board with the plan... assuming there is a plan and everyone knows what it is... if memory serves Sona spawned and ran into some supers knocking on the nexus turrets and simply didn't continue on from there when you pinged Baron. Its not like
Watched your last game. Saw you guys getting upset with Sona and I gotta disagree with you and Karl's perspective. You told her not to roam on her own when she safely managed to ward Baron at a point where it needed a ward. At the end, you guys were pissed when she tried to fight off the two lanes of super minions that were attacking the nexus turrets when you all wanted to defend a Baron. IMO the game was already lost and you had two choices: you could h
"I needed an item."
I'm on vacation but it looks like some awesome changes are waiting when I get back... Fortunately I have streams to watch to give me my LoL fix and recordings of you guys throwing 4v5s to keep me entertained until I get back. Thanks for that!
Good playing with you guys too... but only invite me in the future if Karl is playing! He seems to make the best mid and late game decisions and our jungling situation just falls apart without him... though it was kind of funny when Jona took over the role from me. (When I was jungling with Lee Sin) Forgot Who: "You don't need to ban Morganna, she's not all that." Jona: "I need a gank mid!" (on Morganna) Jona: "Why didn't you help me kill Morg
I applaud that you're trying to shake things up bottom lane. Blitz/Ali permabanned... Lulu can't get needed buffs because she's OP in certain pro team comps... Janna overnerfed... Such a rich variety of supports left to play, thank you Riot! Hedgie and I thought we had an unbeatable kill lane combo worked out not too long ago... well, maybe mostly me. Didn't work out so well in practice but maybe we didn't give it enough of a chance. Who kno
Karl, thank you so much! It really bugged me not knowing what exactly would cause the reset... thanks for taking away the mystery.
Bryff, you were told to try out ranked because the stats reset and you have nothing to lose by trying it out. This is true, but what you should consider is that you will have people on your team who are really hoping to do well in their placement matches because they want to get to a certain rank before the season ends. They will not feel very good about having a person who only knows how to play three champs (1 a very common ban, the other a very common pick) on their team, so ju
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="1669" id="3220798"]We should play some LoL tomorrow, since Tuesday is usually one of the nights where we have lots of people.[/quote] Sorry but I've been taking my game to the next level and I'm afraid it might throw me off playing with you guys when you're so out of practice. How am I sposed to run with the wolves at night when I spend all day playin with the puppies? Kidding of course, I'd love to join you gu
@Ms. Swan Don't worry, I haven't gone anywhere. Hopefully everyone else will be back someday and won't have gone too soft from only playing GW2. @Pacov Gotta get back to playing some LoL buddy... otherwise you'll elo decay back into silver!
I've been watching as much as i can while stuck at work with a lousy connection, but luckily I got to see at least 1 game from that series... you don't lie Mr Nana, it was crazy! Hopefully it will be on youtube so I can see the other game(s?)
Nilles, it is good advice to try the F2P champs that come up every week... but. If you stick with the game, don't count any champs out that you tried and didn't really click with. As you get better at playing, some champs that weren't enjoyable at first will become a lot of fun with improved mechanical skills and overall knowledge of how the game is played. In the meantime I'd almost suggest you try and force yourself to play with certain champion
Obviously whomever posted this in Reddit, hasn't heard about how super OP Rengar is! Lets get on the discussion and let them know he needs nerfs... So I discovered a new game mode that unlocks in champ select when someone on your team picks Rengar. I think it's inspired by stuff like Orcs Must Die. The enemy nexus becomes indestructible, and winning by destroying their nexus becomes impossible. Instead, the object of the game is to s

[quote who="pacov" reply="1572" id="3211130"] Side note - I am a bit disappointed with riot releasing the new character in this state. We're talking a character that can still pretty easily destroy a full hp champ at level 1 or 2 in 1-3 seconds. [/quote] Are you referring to a champion who's player has decided to run full support runes and full support masteries or a champ that has been specced out to survive early top engagements?</span
[quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="1547" id="3209405"]how did the yorick zil lane go?[/quote] It wasn't a good game to make any judgments on the combo's viability. I flopped at mid through poor play and picking the second most blue reliant AP mid with an AP jungler who was keeping blue to themselves. Yorick and Zil had a tough time getting on the same page for harassing but it wouldn't have mattered since they didn't have any high damage allies on our team to
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="1463" id="3203239"]I don't know what the best solution is, but it might be best to set aside times for more competitive play (doing 5 man teams with more organized teams) and have other nights where we do the more usual mostly in houses with everybody. During the later nights, more experienced players could try and work on new champs/roles instead of playing their best champs. That should even things out a bit.[/quote] This is pure genius!
Talked to Peter today and I think the drama when him and Cow quit was a matter of different perspectives. #1 Vlad picks on Peter with an unusual mid lane choice. Pete's usually a solid AP vs AP sorta guy, but Jarvan throws him off his game (which I can relate to after getting my ass handed to me while having to play Olaf mid one game last night and not knowing how to play against the AP champ I was going against). Next game instead of manning up a
I really appreciate you being nice to my friend Pacov and everyone else for being cool to him when he'd make bad mistakes. My hope was that he'd be playing on my team and when he ended up in a lane with you I was a little worried. It is funny to hear that you maybe gave him a pep talk about being less passive? In the game he and I played in after the in house games were over, he was tower diving like a madman and I wondered what had gotten into him. So
[quote who="pacov" reply="1434" id="3202713"] Is it just me or does the new chog skin look really funny when he's normal size? He looks so tiny. [/quote] I know right? But I'm kinda glad since it seemed like there was just too much "bulk creep" going on with Naut and the Infernal Alistar skin. Sorry to all you Zyra players cause it's personally bummer when a favorite champ gets nerfed to the ground because he/she is extremely
