You can do normals, but not ranked.

It's still not 100% reliable. yea sure he can catch up, but your teammates can't. And Flash completely nullifies it at times.

My friends and I all made accounts with those names. The other teams we faced were also five people queued up together in normals who happened to have theme names. We were surprised both times haha.

Man I have GAD (general anxiety disorder) as it is, but I freak out and cancel queing up so many times for ranked after a few wins. LOL
I'm basically like omg I have like 2 or 3 wins in a row. Something bad is BOUND to happen next game. Then I quickly quit out before I can be matched. LOL
EDIT: Ohhh SNAPS PATCH PREVIEW!!!
I love how they just randomly rework Ashe, but we are still waiting on the Soraka art rework that was promised like a year ago. :/
Also new art style seems to give a fps boost because I swear it's not as detailed in some aspects. I thought that from that vid someone posted a page or so back. I could be crazy though.

True damage, 1.2 scaling(doesn't say if it's AD or AP) and does 20% more damage per stack of his passive.

Are you kidding me? 25% passive arpen?
I can already see Darius being built as bruiser or pure tank.

All they did was remove free rotation- champs from ranked solo. You can still use rotation champs on every other mode, including ranked teams.
I don't think a new level 30 is going to have an established team to dick around on ranked. It kind of seems like a dick move.
Okay this is pretty funny from my point of view:
I feel ashamed for giving Riot the benefit of the doubt regarding Darius/Axe.

"Dicking around" is something Riot wants to reduce in soloq.
one of the best decision so far.
As someone who plays lots of ranked, I applaud this decision. There are already so many leavers etc. in ranked, getting rid of the "omg free week cass" effect is a great idea. People can still buy cheap champions with IP and play them for the first time in ranked to lose regardless, so it's not even preventing you from screwing over your team if you want to.

1) Good. You shouldn't head into Ranked straight off the bat, it's a terrible idea. Besides, IP gain is increased on the march to 30, they should have at LEAST two champions (Tristana and Alistar) unlocked in addition to any they purchase with IP.
2) Similar is not the same.

They have almost nothing in common, and I'm not seeing Darius players playing how they would play Axe.
Other then the speed boost, and it's not even acquired in the same way.

Riven is probably one of the best top laners currently, as she scales very well and can adapt to any match-up in lane. Can also jungle effectively.
It's super unfortunate. In THEORY, some of those games one of the other team's players will be afk, but sometimes they all end up on your own time. 3v5 and you still lose ELO, yay!
*edit* Garen is another top lane champion who is in theory pretty easy to learn.
Complex Shadow
Cudi Lame
he is easy to learn.
step 1) poke.
step 2) are you almost dead yet? if not repeat step 1)
step 3) fall back and heal.
step 4) go back to step 1
step 5)?????
step 6)profit.
play with gaf then?
Someone went first time garen in ranked today and were 90 CS behind their laning matchup, so it's not necessarily that easy. They acted like they didn't know how to kill minions or something, and would just stay back out of XP range and end up 2-4 levels under.
And hope you don't get one of the GAF people who ragequits, or that Blizzard guy who is afk during champion select.
Also, 8-minute login queue, must be because everyone is playing Diablo 3.

Big changes in the pro scene today, should shake things up quite a bit.
CLG: Loses jungler Saintvicious, picks up top lane Voyboy, moves top lane HotshotGG to jungle (allegedly).
Dignitas: Loses top lane Voyboy, picks up top lane Crumbzz
Curse: Loses Jungler Crumbzz, picks up jungler Saintvicious.
Should make tonight's CLG game in the Curse invitational interesting if nothing else.

4chan losing their shit..going to be interesting seeing Voyboy play for CLG.
I'm too used to seeing crs Crumbzz..this is gonna be weird.
Never said they were the same, but they are for more similar than I had first imagined when I read the skills.
It's the passive that really gets me, there are not many skills I can think of that puts a DoT on someone and grants movement speed depending on how many targets are DoT'd up. It was introduced to Axe as a way to help him keep up with targets because he doesn't have much going for him after blink taunt. And now Darius has it, and I can't help but feel his designers took some inspiration from Axe. I mean, buff angry man with a big axe that rushes in, snares people for your team (of course Riot tries to avoid hard disables as non-ultimate skills), and one shots people once they're below a certain level of health.
That really really sounds like Axe, both thematically and technically.
Wow those are some crazy trades.
From April 13, when I was probably about 690 elo:
Today, after learning katarina and playing her in (probably) most ranked games since then:
This is the highest elo I have ever had, since I started at 1200 and only went downhill. I no longer feel like I'm carrying with kat however, since good games I will go maybe 13/7/20, 11/3/10, 12/3/5, rather than 15-20 kills like some of the lucky early games. Average/bad games, I'm only perhaps in the 2-8 kill range. I'm trying to work on being a better farmer, maybe? But I also need to focus on ganking other lanes when I can do so without losing mid turret. Also, a lot of the time I get lucky and get carried -- in the latest game today, I got lucky and their garen kept disconnecting, so riven was like 6/0 starting the game.
But hey, I outfarmed Veigar, and that's 500+ elo and a 69.7% win ratio with kat out of 99 kat ranked games. Not great, but probably better than I used to be.

^ Now that you've climbed back up, it's time to fall down again
Did a game on these servers tonight:
Nowhere near the level of success I can seem to get in EU, but with the horrible lag I expected to feed like a boss. Might as well save it for posterity.
Wish I could screencap the Mumble commentary because I was in tears. Probably lost a few braincells too but it's not like I was using them anyways.

I liked the teaser image because he kind of reminded me of Chris from RE5. Kinda.
But then I saw the splash art and I was a bit disappointed. The best male highlight from this game so far was watching the Varius art spotlight
I might retire from ranked until next season or something, lol. For those not doing the math, gaining 500 elo is the equivalent of about 40 wins IN A ROW WITH NO LOSSES. It took ages.^ Now that you've climbed back up, it's time to fall down again
