It is done.
What do those numbers mean.
Not everyone can be a pro like boken!
^They mean your win-loss.
So you've won 15 and lost 10
Ooh I see.
I use this account to play with a friend and we don't usually get the greatest teammates.
A likely story, corgi.
Anyway, I know some of you hated the Diana skin.
So here it is again:
um holy shit. This may be the first RP new champ bundle I buy!

And thus, Riot is achieving the desired effect.
It wouldn't surprise me if someone new was running part of the operations.

They already posted a response to that problem. They said that since she is more suited for jungling, she is just as likely to be clearing the bot lane brush as she would at top. They tossed around the idea of having it rotate arcs but preliminary tests frustrated players because of the inconsistency.
It's not about that post. It's about general gameplay experience. It would certainly provide a challenge if every second shot was left bend, but I can't see how it can be considered inconsistent.
The way they put it was in testing the players got frustrated with the additional "bookkeeping". Trying to remember exactly which way the arc is going is going to lead to the feeling of inconsistency. I can't say I disagree. I'd rather know exactly which way it's going to curve.
I don't really like jungling but I really like Diana. I'll have to get back into the role lol
Change the icon or have it displayed next to the buff similar to other skills that have "special" effects (Corki's R).
Corki's R has a special effect? I should look what Corki's R is and what it does. I just thought he flew around and shot bombs and maybe shreds armor with the gun.
That Diana skin is striking, but the armor doesn't seem very effective to me. Too much skin is exposed.
They could make a Luna skin for her, for all the My Little Pony fans.

Every 4th rocket is a Big One*. The icon turns red to indicate that the Big One is the next rocket to be fired.
*More damage and splash.
Gaming has taught me this is how armor works.
Also, contrary to my earlier "lol bad junglers all day!" prediction, I'll be buying Diana day 1 anyway. Contributing to the bad jungler problem np.
In addition to simply being too skimpy, most of these armors also protect the "wrong" places with the armor still left in tact.
Among the most vital areas to cover are the belly (viscera), face, and chest. The remaining armor instead covers arms, legs, and shoulders, which are of course not places you'd want to have hacked off, but are much less vital than the aforementioned areas.
In other words, the armor is both skimpy and ineffective at the same time.

Pretty much as expected, to be honest.
I'm more interested in her jungling honestly. But I think that's more because I've seen her jungling potential and not so much her laning. Either way, should be interesting.
Edit: Though there's about a 99% chance my first game with her will be in Dominion since that's all I've played recently.
I think she'll do better mid. at least that's my experience with her. She doesn't have any apparent escapes and is very vulnerable to ganks

Impractical armor in my fantasy games?! Well, I never!
Fixed that for ya.
A likely story, corgi.
Anyway, I know some of you hated the Diana skin.
So here it is again:
So snagged... both skins are ace though.
Also I claimed her first, you guys got your stupid plant lady! She's not coming out today is she
Meanwhile in video games.
I don't like it either. She also isn't really building like a tank I think, from what I saw on the PBE, so she's pretty squishy for a jungler outside of her shield.

I've bought every bundle that has released since I started. I imagine there's a good chance I'll just continue this trend :| Well, unless they finally release a champion that I don't think looks somewhat interesting.
She seems like she'll be best for her mobility for ganks and her shield absorb (and her damage output) to let her safely jungle. I imagine she'll fold to counter jungle pressure but we'll see on that front. Just depends on where the AS/AP/Tank lines are drawn for her item build.

For the most part in the fantasy genre, the less armor a female has, the more she is protected.
I imagine it as some kind of barrier generated by how little clothing a female with modifiers based on creativity of cleavage.
Joking aside I don't really care that much about how much armor people wear in games, since the armor doesn't really do anything other than being a cosmetic thing.
Like very few games have armor physics where an attack will actually get deflected or reduced if it hits a piece of armor on your character. The usual case is armor gives bonus defensive stats completely separate from how the armor actually looks and attacks against your character are resolved as calculations completely ignoring that the guy hitting you is cutting you in half with his axe every time he attacks you.
I do find it interesting though when artists create female armor that looks good without having breasts all up in your face, like Saber from Fate Zero for example.

The Tribunal really makes me think that I've yet to run into anybody truly terrible. Some bad players and some rage, sure, but I honestly can't think of any truly terrible games.
Just seeing the chat logs in the Tribunal man. So bad.

Tribunal is good for when you need a quick laugh.
I don't call people racial or homophobic slurs, which I suppose sets me above most of the LoL playerbase. But naturally I whine all game in chat as I feed kills to the enemy becuase I'm terrible.
But every once in a while the decent players make me feel bad, or when I get actually matched with a premade group that is decent and friendly. There was the Taric who level-1 ragequit last night after giving Zyra advice, and yet...Vlad happily crushed Darius top lane, went legendary, and was like 11/2. Udyr ran around in the jungle and wasn't terrible. Tristana was against the Ultimate Combo of Blitzcrank + Caitlyn...yet she didn't rage about Taric. She just sat under the turret alone, and was 2/0 after a bit, and eventually lost the turret, and at one point was alt-tabbed out for a minute or two back towards base...yet went like 9/2/whatever and helped us kill the nexus.
I want to give these players cookies.

Well there are other smurfs.
There used to be legends that if you started a smurf and smurfed it too well, the game would suspect that you're a smurf and put you in the smurfqueue so you'd just be smurfing other smurfs. That's funny if it's true.
I don't call people racial or homophobic slurs, which I suppose sets me above most of the LoL playerbase.

You've touched on one of my most desired features. A commend button. We can punish and punish and punish but how about commending the good ones? Not just the skilled guys but the ones who resist the rage and make the game better even in a loss. I know it can get complex attempting to reward players like this. There will need to be ways to prevent exploitation if there's a reward involved - i.e. only let recently played with people commend and no more than one commend from a person per week or something like that.
But really, positive reinforcement is a powerful thing. DOTA2 has it, LoL should too.
I started a smurf to play with my friend who just started and I'll tell you, easily 25% of the players are smurfs and some of them quite good. Nothing worse than a jungling crit-plank in a room full of new players.
Nope. At worst, I've had people who had bad item builds, I guess. Maybe a few disconnects or AFKs but I've won a few 5v4 games (and one 5v3, in what had to be the most depressing loss for the other side ever). I just haven't seen that many really hostile players or massive trolls.
Some rage, yeah, and some trolls ("stole my blue AFFKKKKK") but nothing like what I've seen over the last week or so of the Tribunal.
I'm interested in seeing the low level brackets again. I kind of miss going like 30/0 on Riven :|
Been suggested many many times, but Riot has stated it'd be abused... which it probably would be.
Whoa now, Riot has never performed any fan service. They are completely classy with all female character models.
If I wasnt at work i'd google something like "league of legends boobs" or something to prove myself wrong, but that might be hard to explain.......
