Hah, and you mocked me when I bitched about it a couple pages back.

Hey! They make long sleeve shirts for a reason. It is nice to work from home now though, so I don't have to cover up most days. Keep up the good work Onoes, I don't chime in to this thread very often but you have kept me mightily entertained.

I did. The Hawks have been so hot and cold for a while now. No consistent full game performances and the Wild are pretty damn good on their home ice. Hawks in seven is the way I see it playing out like you guys said.

You pick Braum for the same reason you pick morg, to disrupt enemy engage teams or divers. I think he is better at it then she is as well. His offensive laning isn't really anything to write home about, but if your adc isn't a moron you effectively can't die in lane barring a really good gank...

Or people just hate Boston sports teams/figures because Boston sports fans are completely unbearable.

He wasn't talking about you picking WW as something you did wrong. He's referring to you building flare/BoRK/Wits end instead of going something like flare/wits Randuins, SV/Banshees. While it probably would have not won this particular game with those scores, it would have been a much better...

Real test will be tomorrow. OMG has a rep for not playing seriously if the game doesn't have money or placement bearing. They have pretty much performed as expected in beating the weaker teams (Fnatic/TPA) handily and then losing badly to SKT. If they win or at least take the set the distance...

I'm much higher on Pryor myself, but anything is an upgrade over our current Safeties. The kid from Northern IL is also an intriguing pick but he is 5'11 and sub 200lbs, so a risky pick there. People have him rated anywhere from a top fifteen pick to a second rounder.

Bears need to take Calvin Pryor or Clinton-Dix in the first round and then pick up some more d-line help later on in the draft. They've done a pretty good job with the off season signing to shore up the defense, and getting a top flight safety would round things out very nicely.

White Sox are doing okay so far, kind of what I expected for this season to be. However it is great seeing the Cubs fighting it out with the Astros for the worst record.

*Lizard elder Golem hasn't been the item of choice for three or four months at least.

We're just desperate not to go back to the fifty two qb rotation we had from 1989 to 2006ish.

Yes it was, Hawks just might have a fight on their hands. Neither team has played a complete game yet though, so we'll see when somebody can hit the go button for all three periods.

Regi is like any other "my way or the highway" boss that I'm sure we have all worked for or with. You also get the added mixture of them all living together and not a one of them being over 25 years of age. So yes their interactions are going to be different when they are not only employees...

Riot hasn't stated they have any intention of making the other game modes a focus for competitive play. As to your first point. Why would you rise up against the guy that has allowed you to earn a six figure income by letting you join his team. TSM is the most popular brand of the most...

Yah Regi is a dick, that isn't something new. But guess what, he owns the team and he has yet to make a move roster wise that hasn't improved his team. TRM to dyrus, Chaox to wildturtle, himself to Bjergsen. All upgrades and smart moves that weren't made just because Regi was mad at someone...

Xpecial is probably the most mechanically strong of the NA supports, so barring his bad attitude continuing, yes he will be an upgrade. Bunny could only really play thresh at LCS level anyway.

Cryotic voicing the Wizard is really neat. I think I'm going to back this one.

Wild and Hawks should be another great series. Maybe less overtime though, I don't think I can take that many more.

I usually don't bitch, but I do have to say that all the anti snowball mechanics riot has put in to the game are starting to kill the fun for me. Having one person get caught at 18-20 mins or losing a small team fight then getting a dragon should not allow the enemy team to make up 75%-100% of a...

Nice first round between the Hawks and Blues. I honestly thought it was going to go the full seven with at least one more OT game, but glad to see the Hawks bringing the hammer down in the third.

Its been one hell of a ride so far to say the least. Hopefully the Hawks can close it out in game six.

Its okay, seems highly situational depending on the lane matchup and who the enemy jungler is. I've seen three of them over the last couple of days. One smashed a morg/luc lane. The other two got dumpstered by graves lanes/leona and cait/thresh lanes.

Looks like you guys got one of the nastier drophacks used on you. That one can sometimes drop everyone but the drop hacker and you're dc'd long enough that they can finish the game solo.

Lyte who's the riots player culture guru does lurk and post here occasionally Sidian. So we do have a Rioter!

Karma is in a good place right now from a power perspective. Yes she is strong and her kit is pretty powerful when you put it all together. However I think that is fine in her primary support role because she does fall off late game in power unless your team really has the coordination to make...

HoN also cratered and died without ever even touching 1/100th of Leagues player base numbers. You're also comparing a "box" price game against a f2p ( I am aware that HoN later went ftp but that isn't relevant to the discussion).

I understand DoTA's business model just fine. I also understand that what Valve can do when releasing a ftp game and what a startup like Riot was could do upon release to ensure good cash flow are two different beasts. One has the backing of a game distribution platform, the steam design tools...

Pyros is primarily a DoTA 2 player I believe. So he's used to a game that gives you all mechanical content for free. Unfortunately every company isn't steam and can afford to give away a triple A title solely in an effort to push their service.

One of the players sends a invalid command to the server using a drophack tool. Sometimes this results in everyone but them DCing and being unable to reconnect so they win the game. Usually however it drops all the players so the game ends and doesn't count in anyone's match history. I've had it...

Games fun, but I don't really see it replacing League/DoTA for me. Not enough meat as it stands from a technical skill perspective. Probably will have a little bit of legs as a break from the other two or as a quicky when I don't have the time to do play for more then half an hour.

Its just a play style difference. The flare actually lets you team fight so you don't have to depend on a team not getting stomped while you split. Shaco build has been Flare, brut, shiv, finish ghostblade... trolololol. edit: I can splitpush well with the build if I have too. Kill turrets...

In one way, I don't like the feral flare because it means Kha/Vi/Panth and anyone else that can't derive some benefit from it is relegated to the bench at least in solo queue. In another way I love it though because I can pull out the noct/shaco/Yi and actually win the games I would have lost...

Kind of. You have to smash early game or the feral flare jungles outscale and rape you.

If you want Gilg pop in the rerolled chat channel and I'll run some customs with you. Can do some lane matchups with some of the more common champs right now. Game name is Starke?. If you don't feel like doing that then you basically are looking at a couple of mid champs that offer good roam...

Its kind of a waste on kha. I can't find the reddit thread that did the math but conservation actually gives more gold the feral flare if you manage your stacks correctly, so for any jungle champ that isn't auto attack reliant (wu, panth, kha) you still want to go for the lizard elder.

Only thing I feel should be added to Gilg's write up is that your skill order is dependent on the game. If its a lot of escape heavy or cc filled enemy lanes then yes you do max E > Q > W. However if the lanes are fairly easy to gank and you see a lot of dueling happening with the enemy jungle...

So was it the BorK addition that did it for you or did you just need to figure out his timings? So many people use his charge/w/ult at the wrong time.

The attack speed plus extra lifesteal on BoRK has much better synergy then BC does on Xin. Not to mention the active makes it impossible to get away from him when comboed whit his E cooldowns. You can grab the early brut that turns in to ghostblade if you want and just let it sit there. But his...

How are you building him? I start Flare/Bork and I can pretty much carry with that even if its just a farm game. After flare and Bork I usually toss in randuins/banshees and cap off with either a ghostblade (for carry killing) if the team has some more beef or a third tank item if not.
