You're in for a little shock.
I didn't really believe how bad it was, until I went on a massive loss streak. Now i'm playing ziggs and this shit is so easy.
Next up, adc veigar
Maybe I should just play yi too, jungle is pretty op right now
It could be like Rek'sai where the champion isn't revealed, but there's some sort of marker showing where they are, and only shown to Warwick.
I'm not sure what I've been looking up on GAF and the internet in general but I'm very, very curious as to why NeoGAF's ad system thought it would be a good idea to try and sell me on the racing game Spilt/Second, a game that came out in 2010.

to be fair Split Second is a very good game
Oh sure. Hell, I already have it on Steam. It's just so random. I can't remember the last time I looked at any racing game related. It's pretty much LoL, indies, and strategy games for me.

Kudos to me for my skills at fucking up data for ad-trackers, I guess.

finally got around watching the trailer
pretty cool stuff, zaun looks awesome and straight out of a mix of bioshock and the joel schumacher batmans, and it teases some interesting gameplay stuff with how his blood scent thing works
trailer seems to be heavily hinting at wounded enemies pushing him to a supercharged state and him having some sort of pounce ability
i like his machine heart thing, i think that looks pretty cool, rest of his design isn't that interesting but i just don't like werewolves all that much
only caveat is that it's first person and first person stuff is super lame but can't be perfect

I just went against a mid Teemo....and not one single time in the entire game did I see a mushroom go off. Like ever. His "R" must've been broken.

That WW teaser has me interested ... greatly interested. They put more effort into that than they have most new champ reveals.
Hoping they make him a viable Top/ Jg. I really do hate that JG champs so rarely work in lane.
Also, I'm really looking forward to this tank rework they have planed. Not just cause some tanks are braindead boring to play until team fights but because ... I would really like to know wtf Riot thinks tanks should or should not be able to do or how exactly they want them to work in the game.
Like some Rioter said Poppy is too strong and will be getting nerfed... IIRC after they nerfed her HARD she stopped being played all that much and became "Ehh..". Then they made a few buffs ... but nothing changed much until CoC. Seems like that mastery is more to blame than anything as it seems like a balancing head ache to now suddenly factor into that so many champs can get a free shield for hard CCing someone in a trade.
Do they want Tanks to be able to do meaningful DMG overtime well sucking up as much DMG as they can or to just be big balls of Def Stats that just act as CC bots that don't really do any dmg? Cause the 2nd half sounds like Support tanks which have a meaningful and unique role but don't really work as solo laners and the first half basically means that they should be able to kill a champ who isn't building armor if allowed to sit ontop of them and do dmg for a long span of time. Yet some how that's not fair to ADCs who face tank a tank's dmg?
Will be interesting seeing where they take the role.

WARWICK WAS A NORMAL MAN
BUT THEN SINGED NEEDED EXPERIMENTS
SEE WARWICK HAD A FAMILY SO HE'S REALLY ALL NOT THAT BAD
HE TRIED TO FIGHT IT
BUT SINGED CHANGED HIM INTO WOLF
AND NOW THAT APPARATUS ON HIS BACK STABS HIM TO ANGER AND EMPOWER HIM
SEE HE'S REALLY A GOOD GUY BUT THEY MADE HIM EVIL AND NOW HE DOES ZAUNS BIDDING
BUT HE'S ALSO MORE ANIMAL THAN MAN NOW
IT IS HIS CURSE
Hey I guess my internet is down so I'll have to pass tonight.

Rip, Soraka.
Time to put his theory that viewers will follow casters to the test.
i mean
more lck games are gonna be watchable since i won't have to put up with monte
win win
i think it's safe to say it was a loaded situation whatever way you look like it
feels like both monte and riot had some ego stuff going on and in the end we all paid for it. both parts are to blame for sure, we'll probably never know the whole story, but it feels like the kind of thing that shouldn't be allowed to happen
monte's persona outside of the game was really obnoxious but he was a really insightful and entertaining caster and doa was just the funniest caster ever
they'll both be sorely missed

whyd doa leave?

they cast overwatch now and are miles away the best OW casters rn.
doa has always casted other games and never intended to be full on league caster
it's probably a smart career choice not to tie yourself down to a single game and he's been casting hearthstone for years and now overwatch with monte, i guess with only 3 days a week for ogn he and monte didn't feel like it's worth their time anymore
they'll make a statement soon and we'll see why for reals, but i'm guessing it just doesn't make sense for them to fight over casting spots with pappasmithy and achillios if it's just gonna be 3 days
i might be missing something here (i can't remember the exact changes for 2017), but like, if you think about it, it really sucks for all casters in korea to have this split setup with ogn and spot tv, cos if you're like pappasmithy and you're a dedicated league caster your actual work just got cut in half, while you still probably have to do just as much prep work, vod reviews, etc. and i'm gonna guess they don't get paid as much as if they were casting all games?
edit: i'll miss doa so much

it switches around a lot and has a bunch of hovercam kind of hopelessly trying to frame teamfights
competitive overwatch is really disorienting, at least as someone that doesn't generally watch competitive fpses
last time i heard blizzard was working on a proper spectator mode but idk if that ever got implemented, i haven't paid much attention to overwatch in months

Competitive overwatch is not fun to watch. Like most FPS games, IMO.
Ugh, patch can't come soon enough. Normals are intolerable for me.
I can't even flame when things go wrong because it's pointless.

I don't think Overwatch will ever take off as a spectator esport. It looks janky as hell to watch.

I don't know that the viewers have a pathway to ask for something better.
The issue is that the game is sort of all over the place and fast paced. Compare with something like CSGo, which is far easier to follow for spectators.
It's the reason why I can't stand watching just about any FPS game. Too many perspectives to keep up with, too chaotic. The only way I can enjoy an Overwatch stream (and I do enjoy them) when it's a single streamer. One perspective.
It's hard to say how the unsafe player environment stuff happened. They did have Remilia on the team which makes it such a loaded place to be in to begin with. It might have been enough if some of the staff was not very good at dealing with the team + her, or just ignorant in how to approach her.
That's all assuming the whole thing was due to Remilia though. There really could have been tons of issues related to her and I doubt Riot wanted to get some kind of transphobic label due to not handling the whole deal swift and hard enough.

Agreed. Blizzard will keep trying though. And they'll learn you can't force your way into being a legitimate "eSport".
Basically what happened (though never outright confirmed by Riot) was that Chris Badawi promised Remilia money to cover surgery costs if Remilia agreed to continue with team Renegades (back then Misfits). Keep note this was more of a personal agreement. In the middle of the season Remilia wanted to leave the team (she would later get replaced by Hakuho), so Badawi got mad and told her that he wouldn't cover her surgery costs anymore. Later Badawi apologized and told her that he would still compensate for the costs.
Anyways, this is the event that probably caused Remilia to tell the Rioters that the environment wasn't safe. Crumbzz himself said that he thought the team environment was safe, and he would never let the team run on an unsafe environment, and to me Crumbzz comes across as a real genuine guy, so I'm inclined to believe him.
Oh, I hadn't heard of that. That's a rough situation for both Remilia and the rest of the team.
Crumbzz seems like a genuine guy for sure.

Now I'm sad that DOA couldn't show up to worlds. Oh well, at least Monte is finally gone.

Wait, is that dude on the left who they originally had for Anakin Skywalker? I haven't seen the version before the CGI got 'remastered' in over a decade.
