So following a row of games I played like shit, I picked graves adc. Played one of the best games maybe ever. Rango though said he had to leave at 35 minutes and so he did. Leblanc decided it wasn't worth it either. Vlad called me an idiot for not letting him get red buff. Lost the game. Yay.
PS: how can I link images without them being damn huge?

You don't even have to wait till bans start to dodge. Look at all that saved time!
I mean, if you're an LCS team queueing as 5, there's like 50 people in the queue you can play against. You have to play somebody, so you'll eventually end up against 5 randos if another LCS team is not also queuing at the same time.
The practical fix is probably just to increase the time before MM standards relax. So the premade fives at high levels will have 60 min queues and get no LP unless they get lucky and another premade five wanders in. They'll just stop doing it.

Cos you'll need it to numb the pain
For the record, if people are wondering if the games industry is like Mad Men after this post, it is exactly like Mad Men.
We got the fid to switch to thresh but it was all for naught

New Poppy is so great though. I feel like they nailed her theme. Hopefully she gets a few buffs and she'll be golden. I felt like I fell off a cliff late game but idk may have been bc my solo lanes didn't do so hot.

Lmao damn.
love reading the salty posts on reddit
was kind of a really rocky launch i gather, and this is gonna be live everywhere in 5 days? i'm guessing the matchmaking quality is gonna be pretty poor in smaller regions too
ehh, i liked dynamic queue cos there's no draft pick in my server, but since they're replacing tb with this new champ select i'd be ok with solo/duo
i mean, my biggest issue with ranked was always having to play boring stuff i don't wanna play and if i premade i'm guessing it'll be even harder to get mid so i'd probably end up solo'ing anyways
congrats rito costy on ur don draper promotion

i like this mental image of rito being a bunch of washed up dudes taken to the end of their sanity by reddit and twitch and twitter, drinking from early morning just to get past any given day

Well Jhin looks stupid. Definitely not the character you'd expect from seeing the previews from the videos they released.
You can wrap images in a quote box to size them down unless clicked.

Why do people play when they know they don't have the time for a full game?
Finally got to try the new champion select, and i just wuv it!
It sucks, but sometimes unknown things come up.
If you don't mind that I just AFK so you can fuck around I can help. PBE account name sent by PM.
Yeah sure but at least say you're sorry or something. My rango didn't.
I wish there was a queue that made use of their ribbon system from before. I try my best to be positive on my games and would appreciate fellow-minded teammates and opponents. I'd wait 5 minutes more per queue just to be matched with such people.

Oh ya of course. Some people are just selfish.
One thing is that something comes up and you have to leave, but preemptively saying "guys, the game just started and i only have 35 minutes to win" it's different, sure a game can be won in that time, but an ideally balanced game lasts on average between 40 and 50 mins.
It is just putting extra pressure on your team mates :C
Edit: i just realized i might be reading it wrong, i took that as "he said whe would leave after 35 minutes" but i realize it could be that he said he had to leave suddenly at the 35 minutes mark, the later would be okay then.
He said that at like 28 minutes. And yeah probably something came up, but it just annoyed me that we ended up losing the game after I was so close to a win at last.
Having a rango on the team was worth it though, since i pinged for assist at one point and he appeared just as a random playlist I had played the Django theme.
Speaking of shen's Q, I noticed that riot has changed a lot of spells that used to be on-target to be skillshots. Ryze comes to mind, there surely were more. Anyone seen a comment on that? Is it them trying to make it more challenging?

Targeted harass is hard to balance and frustrating to play against when the champion is good
I like it a lot better that way. Rewards the time taken to learn a champ's limits. Though I'm ok with having a few simple champions for new players and when I don't feel like trying to be Faker.

is ranked fucked or no
Tonight? I'll be home from work around 5 EST, so anytime after that.
I'm down for this. What time?
I don't have a solid time, but If it does happen it'll probably be around 6:30 EST. (NA)
The one designer that did basically an AMA talked a bit about that, but it's pretty straightforward. Point and click skills are just extremely reliable. That can be okay in some cases, but if all your abilities are 100% reliable in range then your interactions are super binary. Either you can get in range and have enough damage = they are dead, or you can't get in range or don't have enough damage = you are dead. Pantheon is a really good example of the kind of problematic gameplay experience that arises when you have a bunch of targeted non-skillshot abilities.
Riot doesn't necessarily want to get rid of all targeted abilities but they do want to get rid of super reliable/binary play interactions, because they aren't much fun in play.

Malphite ult? lol
can't tell if being trolled
It could be made to work, ditto Nautilus' ultimate.

Yeah, i should be able to play some today.

Naut's ultimate as a skillshot would be fucking terrifying, like a ranged Unstoppable Force.

tundle support is so strong
Eh... I wouldn't say it's like Malphite ult.

It's literally a targeted Malphite ult. Ranged knockup that can't be interrupted and puts you in melee range, downside is that since it's targeted it needs to be single target instead of AoE.
Make it a skillshot and the only difference between them would be Vi knocks people aside on the way.

I might be able to join in a bit after that. Around 8:00 EST for sure maybe earlier.
