I had a great evenly match game to make up for that last disaster + rant.

Yeah, it's hard to organize games. I'm in the channel, and if I want to play, I just go in random. I have no problem with random match at level 30. Everyone has some skill at that point.

I had a game where the other team was shit talking my Leona post game. Malz was saying how great it was this one time when Jarvan and Malz Ulted me and I died.

Him: "Lol I can't believe you just stayed in jarvan's circle and fought. Protip: Malz's purple circle does lots of damge."
Me: "I was stuck."
Him: "Just summoner spell out"
Me: "ghost gets you out of jarvan's ult? that's news to me"
Him: "use flash"
Me: "I have ghost, not flash"
Him: "use your zenith blade to get out"
Me: "both you and jarvan were in the circle with me"
Him: "use it on a minion"
Me: "..."

Man tanky Cho'Gath is fun. He has good disruption to prevent some incoming damage, takes what does come in well, and still outputs a lot of damage. Tower diving in on people to eat them is the best.

Alistar got creamed in this patch, but he had it coming since players were building him full AP and still maintained tank role because of his ult.

Udyr turtle stance nerf warranted since he had such ridiculous sustain in lane.

lol at Xin being nerfed again, although slightly.

I'm not positive but I think it says you need to be 20+ to use tier 3 runes. It's a little deceptive making you think it's 20 and over but in actuality it means you need to be over 20.

At least that's how it was for tier 2. I just started a couple of weeks ago and when I hit lvl 10 I was very disappointed

Returned to LoL to try Skarner, it's so fun! a spammer tank, viable with lots of builds. I tried it with sheen, sunfire, shurelia, and boots 3. I should have probably gone for trinity though, then sunfire cape, then whatever. And after playing HoN, last hitting was never so easy!

Udyr, the menance of top lane avenue has finally been apprehended by RiOT police. Recently Udyr has been seen forcing people out of lane with his massive sustain. It is also rumoured that he operates a black market of man eating blood thirsty bears, tigers and turtles. He has been charged with being overpowered and promoting passive play.

2th, director of the "Udyrs are people too" support group could not be reached for comment.

Is Brand super overpowered right now or am I just unfamiliar with how to beat him. Just lost a game because the Brand on the other team went 24-7-8 or something and the rest of the team only had 7 kills combined.

I do think it's funny that Karma seems to get completely untouched throughout all the universal heal/support nerfs. We shall see if it does anything.
Janna is the only true support anyways.

HotshotGG on stream right now going over the patch. Basically raging / saying Riot is clueless, and most of the changes are awful and done because scrubs don't know how to counter.

Only ones he didn't have issues with were Udyr and Taric.

edit: He also said Nidalee is not viable competitively anymore because she does less then other champions since her sustain is now gone. They also fucked up her dodge and only gave her 10 armor. He said they did this because they want to remove dodge from the game eventually.

Can some kind soul paste the patch notes as a quote or something? <3

Also, I learned yesterday that Gangplank's orange juice escapes (most?) crowd control. It didn't seem to get me out of some Ryze electric snare, but it works on some things. I always wondered what the message saying Gangplank is afflicted by scurvy meant, but then I realized his other status is just "Pirate" so I assume both statuses are silly and don't matter. XD

Talon, the Blade's Shadow

Noxian Diplomacy: Talon viciously stabs his enemy, dealing heavy physical damage and causing them to leave a blood trail that Talon can use to track them.
Rake: Talon fans out three blades in front of him that quickly return to him, dealing damage and slowing any target hit in either direction.
Cutthroat: Talon leaps behind his target and silences them for a short duration, amplifying the damage of any of his follow up attacks and abilities.

Once the blades reach a certain distance, they pause and form a circle. When Talon reappears from stealth, the blades return to him, once again dealing damage to any opponent they pass through.
Mercy (Passive): Talon's auto-attacks deal additional damage to a target that is under the influence of any crowd control effect.

The only reason I like Nidalee is her skin.

Most players really suck with her because they don't understand how to use hybrid characters.

Get arpen reds. They are clearly the best reds for AD carrys in the game. Crit is good for Trynd, but more characters can benefit from arpens. Personally, since tier 3's are expensive, I'd try to maximize on runes that can benefit many characters. Here's a resource that goes indepth:

I'd hope not considering a Dodge yellow is 800 IP and I pretty much blown my entire IP on them. x_x
 
I certainly hope Riot isn't removing Dodge. Removing SOME random elements is totally fine; removing variable attack damage (45-50 damage per auto-attack was dumb, standardizing that was better) was good. Random Runes on map in favor of creeps holding buffs... yeah, I can dig it.

But removing Dodge is like removing Crit.

Soon we will reach the status of TF2 promode. No more random critrockets!

Speaking of red arpens, I have bought a few tier 3 runes. Do armor penetration and magic penetration have any effect if the other team does not have armor/magic resist items? In other words, does it still help against the base armor? A lot of teams don't seem to build most physical armor, which is presumably something I should take advantage of with Caitlyn.

All creeps and enemy champions have built in armor and magic resist that increases as they level up.

So that's affected too, that's what I was wondering. Thanks. Someone was criticizing me for buying the armor penetration bow (possibly with Caitlyn) once, and I -thought- their reasoning was that the other team didn't have armor and thus I didn't need it.

Armor Penetration is a very good stat that becomes even better because of how rare it is to find on items. Take it where you can get it if you're doing physical damage.
