So I had a few minutes to play some games, not enough time for a Dota 2 match. Figured I would fire up LoL for and play a Dominion match or something, and I'm greeted with:

WTF is this?

I'm cool with a queue of like 5-10 min under rare circumstances but seriously, 2 hours? Are they offering free beer to everyone that can log in or something?
 

Pancakes

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Their servers are (literally) on fire.

We already got a 10 win IP boost. Wonder what they'll offer next.

My queue was 3 hours...
 
- Frozen Heart for for mushroom's CDR+mana, and extra armor against Yi.
- Thornmail in case I do have to face Yi. I won most of the time since he didn't have lifesteal for quite a while.

Building Frozen Heart and Thornmail is not a good investment. After around 100 armor, you start seeing some serious diminishing returns on your investments.

Since both give almost the same amount but Frozen Heart gives you FAR more utility, I would suggest only getting Thornmail in very specific situations and never both.
 
20% off of total attack speed is pretty nice.

It's basically

100 armor
- 30% returned as magic damage off of basic attacks.

99 (might as well be 100) armor
- 20% total attack speed reduction
- 500 Mana
- 20% Cooldown Reduction

Frozen heart makes a lot more sense imo. Unless you are against someone like Yi or Tryndamere who crit you to death and usually don't build defense or have over 30% lifesteal.

The patch bugged out the baron? Holy shit lol
Edit: I'm sorry Kiunch =(
 
Well I do agree that FH/Randuin are almost always preferable than Thornmail. They had 3 AD autoattackers so I thought the Thornmail was justified. I would only really get Thornmail after getting FH/Randuin anyway.

Besides it's still not a bad reduction. Assuming Yi hits for 200, his damage goes from 74->54 per attack after adding Thorn to the FH. Love blowing up ADs with it. :p There was one time I went with a super tank Soraka build (Warmog, FH, Thorn, FoN, Rylai). Yi (yes another one) kept exploding whenever he tried to attack me since I end up with an extra 300 armor with the heal buff. He was dumb enough not to get LW.

Am I the only one here who didn't wait for a long time for queues? I waited maybe 5 mins tops when I got placed in ~10000 slot. Queue was already done before I even finished KH 3D demo.

11 games today, 8 wins. Fed like crazy in two matches with Fiora (12 deaths each); I just couldn't quite get the hang of her, when to attack, who can I beat, etc. I'm not sure I like her, so I think I may just go with good 'ol Jax.

I rocked with my buddies Malph and Lux, though, so at least I balanced it out there. I also discovered I hate Yorrick and his fucking spammy ghosts. Grrrrrr.....

Yeah, I'm using that one right now.
How many patches have you been using it for? One thing that worries me about most mods is that they seem to break something whenever a new patch is introduced.

If this transitions smoothly between patches, I might give it a shot.

E: An email that Riot has sent out, regarding the missing runes:

Thank you for your reply! In direct answer to your question, you can re-buy your runes. However, keep in mind that we are currently sweeping all NA accounts to determine which players are currently missing content. Once we identify all accounts affected, we will be running a script that will re-add all of the missing items. To that end, if you re-buy your runes, you will at that point have double the amount of runes. Additionally, we will be unable to refund the newest purchased runes once we re-add your original missing runes. Lastly, once this script is run, we will be offering compensation to all of our affected NA Summoners for this severe inconvenience with League of Legends!

If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to let me know!

Best Regards, Dartinous Player Support/Tech Specialist

EUW server is apparently getting swamped with NA people. Just had a feeder run towards the enemy base at level 1. In the chat he wrote: "This is how we took Omaha Beach! USA USA USA!"

I saw a 4 hour queue and went "Nope." Then I played Mass Effect 2 and have pretty much secured sexy time with Miranda. Can't go wrong with that.

But the thing is you were playing a damage dealing character. Taking up two slots for defensive items, especially of the same category, would not be preferable to a damage item that will allow you to kill their AD AA champs much, much faster.

I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of Ez. While playing him, I've noticed that my mechanical control over other AD- carries has slightly improved. Or maybe it just feels relieving to play easier characters every once in a while.
