That was my first thought as well. Did everyone go AFK or something? I've never gone above 30 minutes and in those games we go down to the wire.

I'm not quite sure what happened in that game. The game was very stale by the time we reached 50 points. There's was a lot of poke* on our team but no tanks. We had all built glass cannons (1200 AP), which meant that we couldn't siege any points. Their Heimerdinger singlehandedly kept us at bay. It was a lot of fun though.

I logged in about 30 minutes ago and I didn't have a queue at all.
I've started using Deathfire Grasp in AP builds and I like it alot since it is basically another nuke.
I just find that I tend to lock up when I work it into a combo. Like I fire it off with another move then I lock up and don't know what to do while the enemy kills me.

Don't you just shoot it off as your first attack and then do your normal skill, since it does %health damage based on current health?
Wait...since when!?
I'm guessing since the patch broke him? Other then that, normally you can't activate Requiem after 4 (?) seconds of his passive.

Yeah, like with Ahri you can use it with her ult before the ult hits, but for some reason I forget how to do the rest of my combo. :/
Maybe I should rebind it to an easier key.
They tried to update on the weekend, servers went down. Massive blowback and rage. Long queue's and all these other issues occurred. People are still having problems even today.

I don't mean to actively hate on anyone, but I can see heads rolling over at Riot for this. It's one thing if things get a bumpy roll out period during a game prelaunch/launch. It's another thing entirely for a game that's been out for a few years to just have as many problems as Riot has had surrounding their servers and this latest patch.
Back when I used to play LoL, I started building deathfire grasp on katarina since it's funny.
Deathfire + gunblade + shunpo + ult (I think you can ignite while ulting without interrupting the ult?) + Q and/or flash to kill if necessary. I seem to recall killing fed AD carries late game with that, which is hilarious, though of course they have to be terrible to get caught by it. Specifically, Vayne or Tristana can just cancel your ult if they think quickly enough.
The most happy moment was nuking fed 100% HP Corki with that combo as he came charging out of his base at me. I think it completely killed him and I survived with a bit of health left.
As for keys, I always tried to put DFG on 1 and gunblade on 2 so I was used to using the same key order combo (1 click 2 click ER).

The problems haven't even persisted a week and you're already calling for heads to roll? Holy kneejerk Batman.
I had no problem playing on Monday or Tuesday (login queue was longer than usual) so it's just Sunday and Wednesday. Obviously their latest patch is messing things up.
This seems a particularly bad time for it with all the tourneys going on which may bring in new players. For them then to experience this would leave a bad taste in their mouths toward the game.

I do have it on smartcast. Must be a muscle memory issue.
Yeah, I just have this irrational fear that I will start failing to hit deathfire and gunblade if I do that. I already go through stretches where I completely miss smartcast shunpo far too often.
Also I'm lazy. If I were a true pro I would get 3 or 4 bound to place wards so I can ward shunpo even more quickly.

I wonder if Saintvicious already got his runes restored, lol.
It'd be nice to know if they've made any progress as to the content loss.
How do you miscast Shunpo? It's not like you're smartcasting Alistar's WQ combo or whatever.
I have done the LeBlanc R before I was in range for Q though, so that's why smartcast range indicator's pretty important for stuff like that.

Losing track of my mouse cursor, pressing it when it's not precisely over an enemy champion, or when a minion is highlighted instead that sort of stupid stuff.

Tried it out on Shaco in Dominion. Really fun to melt a Vayne in one second.
And then the resulting chat message usually something to the effect of "Wow" or "...".

Did you start with level 1 shield? Teemo is supposed to blind and kite riven so she can't gap close.instant lock fiora bot. awesome.
no ad carry = no pushing power. I raped teemo as riven solo top (5/0)
How do you smart cast? What is smart casting? Been playing for almost 2 years I'm a noob.
It's just another key binding. So just bind a key to the smart cast version.
Smartcast is when you hit a spell/item and it just casts where your cursor is. Much like flash.
Smart casting means that you'll cast the ability wherever your mouse cursor is or on whatever champion you have selected.

Played a match against bot with Jax and then with Fiora. Liked them both, though Fiora a little better. Surrendered after doing a pentakill (my first ever :3) in the bots base to avoid wasting the IP boost
lmfao that's an interesting way to play bots
Jax is like everything about Fiora but 100 times better though.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Jayce will be his triumphant return.
I hope Jayce has a power armor/Iron Man-esque skin.
Yeah, could be, I have to actually play against real people to compare their strengths, but I put "fun factor" above all when picking champions, and Jax is cool but his skills weren't as fun as Fiora's. I already bought Jax, so I might as well play him
Now people, how many win IP boosts do we need to be content with this past week? I think I'd settle for 40

At this point it will probably take a rune page or RP to appease the villagers.
