Hum, will ponder on this a while longer then.
Just sayin' I don't care for his remark
They won't nerf Malphite until after his new skin comes out.
Sometimes I dream about BadGAF taking good comps.
Part of the reason our team fights are terrible is because of farm.

The servers are deeeeead
I don't normally browse the official LoL forums but I did to check to see if there was any time frame in which the servers would be up. And then I found this:
I don't think I'll be going back again.
I'm bored. I have 134 Steam games I should play but I want to play LoL. :<

Veigar is such a fun mid to play. I just wish he would shut the hell up and stop calling everything a short joke.
Play Mount and Blade with me, it's eating my life away.
Edit: Just noticed
"Dodging a Ranked Game will no longer result in loss of Elo but the time before you can join any queue again has greatly increased"
Might start playing ranked now.

trolls have won.....
If Malphite gets nerfed after his buff, and becomes virtually useless and unused after the nerf, I will be sad. Malphite is one of the very first champions I ever tried to play. I'm always afraid of kneejerk nerfs.
35 gold mana potions, rejoice (maybe)!
Does anyone have advice for defeating 15-potion mordekaiser aside from "get your jungler to help"?
Finally, I'm kind of amused at the ranked dodge penalty. It sounds like LESS of a penalty, if anything, but I guess overall it will mean fewer people will dodge in a row. One interesting thing is that people will presumably no longer be able to drop their ELO intentionally to smurf stomp, since if they try to feed to do it they might get reported and banned for a day or two, and if they dodge their ELO won't drop.

The official Riot forums are a cesspool. I feel sorry for their community managers.
The art updates are weird. They didn't update classic Akali, but they did for Nurse and Blood Moon.
Akali - Nurse, Blood Moon
Alistar - Golden
Amumu - Classic
Caitlyn - Resistance, Sheriff
Mundo - Classic
Jax - Classic, Vandal
Pantheon - Classic, Myrmidon, Full Metal (?)
Renekton - Classic, Blood Fury (?)
Tristana - None...
Teemo - Classic
Twisted Fate - Classic, Jack of Hearts, The Magnificent, Tango
Warwick - None...
Xin Zhao - Imperial

First ranked game of the morning and I have a Sejuani jungle. I think Riot is secretly broadcasting Soda's Seju games.
Edit: nvm someone dodged at the last second.
Some people in my ranked lobby were saying the game was lagging and they were unable to select their champions so just a caveat for anyone jumping on for ranked.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Still a dumb time to release a patch. Tech people should know you never push a patch during the middle of a Sat/Sun unless it's something that's a critical fix. You'd prefer to push out patches over night if possible, and Tuesday (aka Riot's normal day) is usually the preferred day in general for patches in the tech world.
You never patch over the weekend cause it's the weekend. You never patch Friday cause if something fucks up it's right before the weekend. You don't patch Monday cause it's the 1st day back after the weekend and so people need to get into the flow of their stuff. Tuesday or maybe even Wednesday work because it's mid week, and you have time to fix things if shit goes bonkers before the weekend comes.
It's no excuse for the LoL forums which like most all official forums attract a large swath of people which include a ton of crazy posters, trolls, and haters. That being said I wonder who's so dumb over at Riot to say "Hey lets push out a new stealth patch on Sunday Morning!" Amateurish to the max.
PS: 7 min que for me.

Eh, it's subjective. I don't like how anime-ish the Chinese art looks, though it's not really a huge deal it's just a loading picture.

Yeah this.
There would be even more Riot->Community interaction if most of the people on GD weren't full on retards. (I know that isn't nice, but good lord these people)

yeah, I don't really understand why they patched Sunday either. Could of easily just waited until the middle of the day tomorrow when everyone is at work. Oh well.
Dude, you're missing out! Get it this summer sale or I'll get it for you.
No updates on any of my champs
I wish they upgraded Lux's, they're all so ugly...
Yesterday I had my first team fight on minute 1. Their whole team came to steal blue, so we got two kills on each team, then we spent like five minutes fighting on mid, all ten players in level 1, one ability at a time, with crazy cooldowns and ridiculously low damage outputs. We were laughing our asses off the whole time, until both teams went back to their senses and took their lanes...

That's one I want.
Had a 12/2 game as Draven but lost because our Rammus left at level 14 and our Jax was an idiot, kept going out on his own, never being in teamfights, and thought he was 1v3 master because he 1v1'd Kog once during midgame. He tried it again at late game and was melted and then went AFK. Hate this game.

They updated the Summoner Spell select, too.
The Panda Teemo skin is in the store but it says 'unavailable'.
I noticed it in champ select and I am like - oh man, if I had known before this game. Played all game waiting for new Teemo skin at the end of the rainbow... teh disappointed now. ~___~ *sleeps forever till pandas are available*

HOLY SHIT CLG
Edit: See, that's the effect team discipline and morale have in a game. CLG were extremely fragile for the longest time, but by stonewalling they managed to farm to a point where they could pose a threat. However, they needed to stay focused and disciplined, which is something you don't really see outside of tournament games.

I would probably be more impressed without the OP champs like Anivia.

Ya'll missed a damn good one. 1hr game, 10-16 score before game deciding fight, CLG down 30k, M5 had every Baron and every Dragon except 1 each... goddamn.

damn
How did CLG pull it off?
30k is a pretty big difference.

They stonewalled at mid. It was ridiculous; none of M5 were willing to go in, even though ALL of them had 2.5k+ health and tons of defense, plus staying power.
CLG caught one or two in team fights and melt them INSTANTLY, and stayed focused in fights, backing out as needed.
Eventually after a very, very successful teamfight CLG pushed out bot, camped M5 blue, and insta-nuked their Karthus. This gave them the leeway to press bot.
They then started the siege that M5 tried at their mid, but... Tristana's range plus the willingness of CLG's members to dive in and give Tristana room to hit the tower made the difference. Tristana hit Focus Fire and the tower went down fast, followed by the inhibitor.
This gave them even more leeway, and they ran to Baron and took that, too. Forced a messy teamfight where I don't know how they came out on top. Took Baron, and just ran straight past the towers to hit the nexus towers and end the game.
What champions do you consider OP? That really seems like an excuse -- if they are truly OP, why didn't the other team pick some OP champions?
I'd have to go back and look at the tourney stats for Anivia though, since I didn't notice what happened with her previously.

It wasn't a very interesting game really. Very boring unless you like watching a team sit in base. People blaming M5 for not pushing in don't get it. Anivia has three forms of CC that all block the base entrance/exit, and any minion wave was instantly cleared before it could even get into base. M5 had no serious poke or long range AD to push the tower down.
Anivia, Malphite, Alistar, Nautilus, all of these champions are pretty stupidly strong right now. There are probably more I just am not thinking about. It's one of the reasons there has been a resurgence of Irelia, because of her CC reduction.
Teams do pick OP champs all the time. Certain ones just excel in specific situations. Anivia is always good though, she's just harder to play than other champs. Even most pros just take champs that are easy to play, but more and more are picking Anivia up. Anivia had the highest KDA ratio at the last MLG, dying .4 times a game on average.
