Quite a while for me. After the second time that godawful song started playing I restored my backup of the Christmas screen. Maybe I'll go back to Nami now that holidays are over, and hey it is her free week.

maybe they changed some matchmaking algorithm?
Watching TSM play against curse right now and TSM is playing sooo bad.
I mean in the last fight, TSM finally win a fight in the game by getting a kill for nothing. Cop flashes into the baron pit to run back into base. Chaox and oddone flash over into the rest of curse, HIT BARON and just lose half their hp trying to run out of baron pit and give 2 free kills. Then curse follow up and catch reginald and Xspecial while they were forced to run around the baron to get to the fight.
Like holy shit that was bad. Bigger throws than gaf especially since they are down in turrets, dragons and kills.

I don't know what's gotten to them, if getting destroyed by the asian teams just crushed their morale, but they have fallen to trash tier amazingly fast.
Feels like it, I've gotten 100% normal players so far. Even when I lost, it was fair.
what elo.
You can turn off the music playing in the login screen.
No it's not. The best way to win aram is just to focus tower and ignore the other team under the tower so they can never go back unless they engange themselves. If you keep killing them but not dieing yourself you'll be facing a much stronger team than yours and when you finally die the death timer is 30 seconds and your base is already lost from a super push.
I still know it's there.

No way.
IIRC it used to be visible in S1.
In S2, you needed to do some trick to see it but Riot blocked it.
You could see it using a trick pre-S1. This was removed during S1.
You should take a picture with the creepy smile
I like it as well, though some of the lyrics are pretty dumb....
What champ was it that had that hauntingly beautiful login music....was it Diana?
Yup, Complete GAF Saturation on the ManGAF avatars!
@Login - Yeah, sounds like the Diana one. Elise had the narrated story. And then Vi has the punk rock song that makes me want to play Vi every time.
On that note, Vi's a lot better in top lane than I gave her credit for originally now that I've A) Learned to angle her E better for no wave pushing harass (while also maxing E first) and B) Stopped trying to all-in pre-7.

I don't mind the Vi login song but I thought the Christmas splash would've stayed up longer since it was, well, Christmas.
Use to have a data-mine tool for online also.
Well, I think the other half of the equation is that Curse is also waaaaaaaay better now. After they picked up Voyboy, they have done really well. They played Moscow 5 competitively at IPL5 and took a number of games off of CLG.eu at Lone Star Clash (finals went to the very last game).
But yea, TSM has looked pretty awful as of late. I know they've struggled with constant moving and DDOSing combined with holiday breaks, but every time they play, they look off their game. They even finished last in their own tournament. I dunno if it's a motivation issue or lineup related, but they gotta do something. They are struggling to remain competitive in NA at this point, let alone the world.

<3 u though.
I'm way worse.
Also, isn't January show-what-the-fuck-you-look-like month on GAF? Did I make that up?
Where are all your beautiful lil faces?
This is what I actually look like.
I knew there was something I was missing.
I thought we were already doing that? You're a Karthus, and I'm an orange dinosaur.
didn't they include "games played" or "numbers of wins" into the criteria now? I only play 1 or 2 games a night (including vs bot for ip bonus) and used to be paired with 900 win people but now I consistently get players with ~200 wins (I only have 30 something lol)
this is an amazing idea
No! You and your damn spiders.

Cause 48 is for his "excited" voice, while 72 is saved for his mad voice.

Yea no.
Pizza is one of those things, possibly like BBQ or Italian food, for which you should never mention the details to other people.
Otherwise you will end up with a barrage of "That franchise sucks, food tastes like cardboard" or "real X-food-lovers go to this other franchise" or "the only way to do it properly is make it yourself" or "that's not actually real pizza/BBQ/Italian food, the real style is different and [explanation here]".
And you will never be able to mention it again in peace because the people in question will still assume you're eating the one(s) they deem improper.

why are you in here
Yes yes yes yes. Awesome sale. Kha'zix and the only kassadin skin I don't hate. Money spent. Lol.
Going to probably end up buying another 30 bucks worth of rp for the big skin sale on the 11th. I am a sucker. Up to 150 bucks or so. Guess that's not bad for 12 months of gaming and 300+ hours.

Simple answer would be that not all cultures celebrate christmas and that Riot didn't want to alienate those players too long.
