Try being in your senior year of engineering school, friend.
First year of CS is enough to keep me occupied. Can't imagine senior year.
I've been practicing jungle as of late and I've gotta say, when I'm not failing hard, I can support my team way better than just carrying hard. Just an Aegis or Shurelya and a couple of good ganks go a long way.

Aren't you going for your PhD? Haha, you fool!
Snowballing a lane feels so good.
I'm working on trying to be at a lane for a countergank when I jungle. I've jungled enough to somewhat accurately intuit when and where the opposing jungler will show up before wards are placed in the early game, just I'm never there to capitalize on it.
I like counter ganking because usually junglers will gank when their ally's lane is lower health than the opponent to effectively bait (unless the enemy is just way pushed up) so if you can be there for a countergank, you will have even numbers AND health on your side. In the other scenario, junglers will gank when both are near full and believe they can trade for a slightly extended duration, in which you can swoop in while they're distracted/already being slowed, so a countergank in this case will still end in an even matchup, with surprise on your side.
The problems I'm currently having as jungler is either, the enemy team gives me too many opportunities to gank, so I'll be constantly ganking top and mid, but bot gets left on it's own and possibly shut down because I can't pass up good gank opportunities, or the enemy plays too passive and I waste my time trying to create a gank opportunity when I should instead be farming my jungle and/or placing enough vision to countergank them.
The first one can probably be solved by just not going back to the easy gank lane and 100% camping the lane in trouble, but I don't know if it's worth it and I'm always afraid if I do that then my lack of presence in those lanes leads to my previously snowballed lanes getting ganked back to equal or worse, combined with the trouble lane not being easy to gank because of extended ward coverage from doing well, or just passive playing by the enemy.

I went through 5 years of engineering school to get my bachelor's and master's in an engineering degree, and yet I would agree that the architecture students in the building next to mine had a rougher time of it. The hours they work are insane.
How's school going for you, ElectraStar?
I'm kind of scared of duo queuing because I hate to be that guy who throws the game or feeds. If I'm solo queuing no one I know will be affected if I accidentally feed.
u gotta be like me

Is there a version without the item transparency?
Probably, but I do not know where it is.
Short version: Vayne is heavily dependent on late game. If you play her early game (what triforce makes you do), then you pretty much forfeit the game.
Long version: Vayne is in stupid and broken tier late game after she gets a phantom dancer and a bloodthirster.
She can 1v1 anyone if you know how to tumble skill shots.
She can kill you in 4-5 auto attacks.
Triforce scales well with early game hence why corkii and ezreals get it. They are known to win their lanes 90% of the time because of their ridiculous burst. Triforce scales with early game because of sheen and phage procs. Corkii and ezreal can utilise this with their spammable skills early on without having to worry about mana issues after sheen.
Vayne sucks early game. I mean she really sucks. If you commit to a fight and take a bit too much minion damage, you're going to die. If you die, you'll get denied if the opponent knows what they are doing because denying vayne is one of the most easiest things to do in the game.
If you fall behind in laning as Vayne, you lose mid game 100% because the other team has an ad carry while you can't do anything without farm.
If you get triforce on vayne, you have to play aggressive early game or you pretty much wasted over 3000 gold on a useless item for one of the most strongest late game heroes in the game. If you play it badly, you will lose the game and you will not get enough gold for items late game because triforce is such a burden on your gold count.
And if you get triforce, you never get phantom dancer because you pretty much give up your defensive item slot for it. As vayne, you need to escape cc so QSS is vital on her (unless the other team doesn't have any hard cc or you're really ahead then you can settle for a GA). Phantom dancer will always be better than the crit+attack speed you get from triforce. Vayne needs attack speed. Her damage late game comes from her silver bolts. THe faster you attack, the more damage you'll do. Late game and mid game, it doesn't even matter about phage procs for vayne because if you're relying on those, then that means you're chasing someone just to kill them since vayne's range is low. If you play like this, you're playing vayne wrong (actually you're playing the entire adc role wrong).
Never chase for kills as adc in a team fight. You hit what you can while avoiding damage and cc. That's why phage is useless on vayne.
The only good thing about triforce on vayne is the sheen and it gives ap scaling which is useless on vayne. The entire triforce item is completely and utterly useless for vayne compared to the BT/PD route.

This is basically what you said to us every game, except without the purple moe face.

I thought it was kinda funny. The skillshots were entertaining.
Jarvan was pretty badass, and some of the characters did look alright, but the rest just looked off. Lux didn't look all that great.
Also got a kick out of Jarvan and Ryze ducking for cover while rushing MF. League confirmed for chest high rocks + cover system in future patch
It wasn't HELLA AWFUL (worst rating on the Tomat scale). Maybe I'm just too damn spoiled by Blizzard CG.

Haha, first thing that popped in my head as well.

According to a Riot- post, the trailer was unfinished, and was prematurely released in an event. Which might explain why some of the assets used in the trailer looked off.

Blizzard has spoiled me terms of what I see as good CG.
Look at this achtius support guy. He kses me and gets more gold than the other laners.

For a while I there I thought it was the same group that made those chinese LoL videos.
You are going to max your item at the rate you were going, so might as well get some gold to do more damage.
