I actually had no idea wtf that word meant so I googled it, and M-W's first example phrase made me do a double take: "She sublimated her erotic feelings into a series of paintings." Those English nerds are getting lonely out there.

Pretty much this. Enough people have shown evidence of ELO hell not existing, and also, y'know, statistics and facts from Riot/analyzers, to pretty much sadly shake one's head at anyone blaming their persistent rating on other people. Even on Reddit and a lot of the league forums 'ELO hell' is...

There's a reason the tribunal is 99% punish rate: you need a lot of reports to make it that far. People go on reddit and the league forums protesting their innocence constantly and all but one example I've seen were shown to have deserved it. Any system involving literally millions and millions...

Adding to this, if you're playing on PC, I've heard SR2 was a horrendous port and may not be worth the time. Not sure if mods fixed it up or not, I didn't feel the need to go backwards after SR3 :P looking forward to 4 though.

That infographic actually missed one, the second time CS:GO went up for sale I believe it was discounted to like $0.14. Very few people managed to get that price through before they fixed it though.

I don't think I've landed a single Vanguard charge attack yet, haha. I did pretty well as the archer the one time I got to play one, got a bunch of kills on enemy archers and only shot one of my own guys through the head!

I picked up a bunch of stuff I hadn't heard of before, based on recommendations from the GAF Steam sale threads, plus a few things I'd been wanting: - Tomb Raider - Dark Souls - Puzzle Quest 2 - Chivalry - Universe Sandbox - Sleeping Dogs: Year of the Snake DLC - CS:GO - Strike Suite...

That sounds like personal preference to me. Janna scales better but that only matters 45+ minutes into a game typically, otherwise Nami is just as good at least, if you're skilled with her. Ever since Nami showed up in the LCS Janna has made like 1 appearance. Janna's Q and W just aren't very...

The problem I have with Soraka is there's too many 'if' statements to make her a good support. Thresh and Leona, for example, don't really need any 'ifs' to make them a good pick, they're just always going to contribute to laning and, probably as importantly, to initiating and team fighting...

Unless you really, really like playing Soraka, I would drop her for any other support at this point. Leona, Ali, Nami, Thresh are all much better. For your junglers, Udyr and maybe Wukong are the closest you listed to 'snowball' champs, typically for a snowball champ you want someone who can...

Yea I think Defender's Quest actually replaced Defense Grid as my favorite TD game. OMD2 is still my favorite MP TD game though, barring the WC3 TDs (and SC2, because I never got it).

Complete opposite experience for me and my friends. If someone is throwing around gameplay numbers, mine are: DD: 16 hours OMD: 26 hours OMD2: 49 hours DD looks like it has more depth, but that depth is deceptively shallow. Since you're playing one class primarily, you use the same...

I've always been underwhelmed by the google maps app, especially when I downloaded some 3rd part Gmaps app on my Windows tablet, it's arguably a better experience than the regular Gmaps on a PC browser. I don't understand why google can't make a nice app on their own OS for their own damn maps.

The flash deals, community choice deals, and daily deals are always the same discount. There's been like two exceptions and they may have been errors. This is based on previous sales so unless they change it up just grab your games during any of those.

It is nice to see well-written, useful advice filling up the pages, regardless whether the target is listening or not. I don't know how they broke Shyvana's Q, it worked on the PBE when I tested her and my clear time was as fast as Hec at least, if not faster. Used the wrong runes too because...

Do you have a case on your phone when you're using the aux cable? Some cases prevent the cable from going in all the way and end up making the sound come out off like that, I had that issues with my smartphone for a while.

I disagree with that to an extent. Chances are the game got out of control really early, but looking at those first 5 minutes may still clue you in to some situations to try and counter/react to. The last half of the game is probably pointless though, yea. Regarding champion focus, if you're...

If it's legitimately 50% of your games, then that means the other 50% are equally bad for the other team, so all you have to do is figure out where you can make improvements and go from there. There's tons of streamers, pro and not, that, as a streaming gimmick, go from bronze to plat or diamond...

Anytime people start using their feelings as reasoning or an excuse for why they are where they are, they may as well be dismissed. There is insane amounts of evidence that 'elo hell' doesn't exist, and that the vast, vast, vast, vast majority (I forget the statistic but it's over 99%) of...

MMR is further complicated by the fact that Normal MMR and Ranked MMR are tracked separately, so there's a lot of Platinum-Diamond players that have the ELO of Silver players in Normals since they never play them.

He falls off late if you build him like a bruiser. If you build him like Tryndamere, he's pretty much just Tryndamere late game, although Trynd's ult > Aatrox's passive by quite a wide margin.

Bit behind the conversation loop here but 25mil should be enough to get to at least MP6 on any class. I think I spent ~8mil on my barb and do MP8. Gotta shop better!

Next week most likely

I have a PC, Laptop, Smartphone, and Tablet and find uses for all of them during the course of a week. The laptop least of all now probably because my tablet IS full Windows 8. It's just based on your life and your hobbies/habits. Some people don't need more than 1 of those 4 things, some (like...

There's no solid confirmation or anything, but based on past sales and current release dates, July 11th is the popular conspiracy as to when it's starting.

Where would I get this coupon? I have a rewards card but can't find that deal for the life of me. Edit: talking about the extra trade in credit at gamestop

That sounds pretty bad. I mean, it is already on shaky legs with time travel being a major plot point, but there's deus ex machina just in that brief write-up. It just steals ideas from Red Son, the new Batman movies, etc. The marketing idea is decent though.

Green man gaming started some 6-day sale today but their site is wrecked from traffic. They also have a couple vouchers going on still which may stack with some of the sales. If the site recovers~ GMG10-U49LX-GAE17 10% off (says it only works on the sale titles actually) GMG25-BAWQB-8UQWG...

Nien OP please nerf

Yea the changes are along the lines of the LeBlanc update on PBE now, the empowered abilities are going to scale based on level and not the rank of his base skill. Supposedly this will smooth out his power or somesuch. Really the heal nerf was the big thing, that was just dumb for forever.

His passive is as useless as a GA is if you're behind - you'll get caught, trigger passive, die when you respawn. The only way Aatrox wins his lane is if he gets to hit minions freely and can break even in trades, so all you have to do is NOT let him do that. His ranged farming is bad and if he...

You can't do anything even remotely mod related with multiplayer still. I believe custom maps still fall under that, although could be wrong.

Yea well no one would argue the general perception of the LoL community isn't a bit skewed towards whatever some random person on LoL told the rest of them. People still bitching about Aatrox being OP and I've yet to lose a lane to him, and the only game I've lost to him was when I wasn't laning him

I'm torn. On the one hand, I really want it, on the other, I could buy a shitton of RP for that price and just wait for cheaper :P

It sounds like it's just from the skin, but considering it's the same VO maybe enough bitching will get them to add the interactions at least to normal udyr

I signed up for Cardhunter when that link was posted in this thread and got in a couple days ago. It's quite a bit of fun so far. Very clean mix of tactical rpg + tcg it feels like. Although if you have money to throw at it, you can buy random loot chests and probably end up with way better shit...

That skin is damn sexy

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I haven't had an XBL subscription in years but every once in a while when I'm done playing whatever game on the 360 I go try to switch on Netflix and remember I can't. So I have to go plug in my laptop to the TV instead. It's a fucking dumb, pointless restriction that...

Heimer's abilities offer no advantages you can't get from another champ (on Summoner's Rift) and really only have weaknesses compared to most mages. Yes, you can win with him, you can become a mighty Donger, but you should only bother if you REALLY have a hard on for the champ. He's nearly as...

I have played Zilean mid and do like it, but you need a specific team comp for it to work. He's good at catching people out with perma uber slow and the utility of his ult, but his damage later in the game is nothing compared to even other 'utility' mids (Ori, Lux, Zyra). You need your team to...
