I would actually argue the point the other way, weak champions are way stronger at lower ELOs if you practice them because other people aren't as good at exploiting their weakness. Sion/Olaf/Heimer/Poppy/Karma/Zil/Rengar are all weak enough and take way too much effort to do well with them to...

Yea, based on your posts so far, I wouldn't recommend Shyvana in general as she's really ONLY a jungler. I could see maybe some top lane potential with her buffs but I don't know. Sidian, the way I would go based on PBE now is, Madreds > Cutlass > Wit's End (unless they have NO magic damage)...

Shyvana feels really good on the PBE right now but it's hard to get a legitimate feel what with the random quality of players there. There's also no saying they won't nerf her numbers before she hits live. People bitch about Talon being nerfed all the time but I believe he has a fairly high...

I'm on Threesprings if anyone else main's on there, but with the cross-sharding thing it hardly matters. I stopped playing just after the Akylios patch hit due to life stuff, but am enjoying it again so far. Quested up to 60 and loving The Dendrome. I'm pretty excited about having a healing soul...

I'm too lazy to dig through the posts but surrenderat20.com is a great place to keep abreast of dev talk, that's where I read about the Yi changes, the Xerath changes, etc. when red posts were made about them. There are minor tweaks to Shyv on the PBE now I believe - her armor/mr got moved to...

138 units for Gametop_Store_005 is a hell of a lot isn't it? Scalping seems like it won't be much of an issue.

Yea those were one of the first things to go. Honestly unless you're on MP10 I don't see how you could even hit those anymore, shit dies pretty fast :P

That TSM vs. VES game is the most entertaining match I've seen in forever. So many plays/lines. Normally lopsided games aren't that fun but it was hilarious. Also: Yi is next in line for rework it looks like, and apparently they're taking AP ratio off Alpha strike and replacing it with AD...

I dunno about Aatrox. His winrate is almost exactly 50%, it seems like it should be higher if he's A: OP and B: new, so people don't know how to counter him. I think I said this already but his weakness is the same as every melee AD: CC. If the enemy team has no CC it's almost a free win...

AP ratios took a hit I'm pretty sure Edit: I'm dumb, it was just her base numbers and plant numbers. Ulti range got reduced by 100 too which I think was a big one.

The reason I would get all paranoid about the Xbox180 getting it's eyes and ears hacked is because, unlike the current webcames/microphones abundant on our laptops, and tablets, it's going to be tens of millions of people with the exact same hardware, software, and vulnerabilities, making it a...

The problem with that restriction is that, once again, actual divisions are almost meaningless. MMR is what actually matters and you can't see that (except a rough estimate off lolking or some similar site). In this case, it seems likely that those people are in their appropriate divisions, but...

My wife just finished reading a book on all the crazy science out nowadays about what effects fetal development, and BPA was brought up as a hormone (I believe) replacement/inhibitor as you said. It also gets into lakes/streams and has a significant impact on wildlife which is bad juju.

Aatrox has the same weaknesses Trynd, Yi, Fiora have, in that he's a melee carry. He will absolutely destroy people if he isn't CC'd/kited, just like the other melee ADCs will. His dive has built in CC and a shortish cooldown so that's a nice boost, and if you build enough lifesteal his W stance...

Producing is still a fairly meaningless title, and the main point is he's not directing. I failed to notice he and Johnstad co-wrote it again, but without him directing I have no expectations of it coming anywhere close to 300's unique awesomeness.

Lost in Space on Earth in Space?

Not sure if serious... but just in case, Snyder is NOT involved with this one. So yea.

I really enjoyed it. My exposure to Superman is random JLA/Cartoon clips people post and Red Son, and normally I would say I dislike Supes, but I did enjoy the approach of this movie. Honestly, my biggest complaint was. Otherwise, everything else seems to fit within the universe the movie...

Alright, good point about Nintendo. I feel like they might be an outlier, though. I guess I'll have to look into it if I ever care more than to ask a question on a forum :P

Is there any evidence to support the theory that exclusives help a console's sales? If I buy a PS4 I doubt it would have anything to do with exclusives, it'd be because I want a PS4. With the shared architecture I wonder if it'd be smarter to let the 1st-party games hit more demographics.

It just looks like standard 3rd person action game fighting with crappy collision, yea.

I would love for Nintendo to give up on hardware and get some Nintendo-only games on tablets/PC/real consoles.

Junglers who clear slow have to gank to be meaningful anyway, this doesn't affect that a whole lot. They did say they're going to see how this works in the long run, PBE/internal testing is pretty crap at determining the effects of changes like these.

The Xbox division is such a minute fragment of Microsoft's overall business though, they could just cut off that arm and still have like 4 spare good ones. In the long run I still think Win8 is a good move, poorly delivered and received, but once people get over themselves about it it'll help MS...

Windows 8 is very intuitive - on a touch screen. I was using my laptop windows 8 exactly like 7 until I got a Windows 8 tablet and found out all the tricks I could do. I still have 7 on my PC but mainly just because I'm lazy.

Where are you trying to buy from? They have a UK website I know.

I played it with 360 and it worked great, don't think I even tried KBM

I think Sona can make huge impact plays besides her ult, they're just much harder to see because it's all power chord secondary effects. Especially now with the -dmg debuff working, landing that on an ADC in a teamfight is a huge way to follow up Crescendo. Sona is also the only support I really...

I finished playing through LoS 1 two days ago, bought it cheap a few weeks ago. Gorgeous game, loved the scenery of every level. I really enjoyed the game play, they obviously stole mechanics from God of War & Shadow of the Colossus but they stole them with care.

If you aren't trying to do one of the goober specs as WD you can gear up at least as cheap as anyone else. 160m is like one or two really good slots taken care of and then a bunch of decent gear so should be fine. I've spent less than 10 mill on each of my characters except my main and they can...

Hellfire gives basically a nearly free roll on what could be an outstanding ring. 200 prime stat + cc/cd/ias is obviously the hope and dream but I'm sure those are few and far between.

Playing a dedicated support at low levels is almost entirely pointless unless you're duoing with your ADC. You'd probably be better off going for a kill lane (like taking a bruiser) or taking a 'support' that you just build AP on (nidalee, nunu, ori, lux). Thresh is an outstanding support but he...

I'd recommend replacing bash with Overpower with either Crit rune or 35% damage reflect rune, OR Rend with the lifesteal rune. Since you have a fury generating shout anyway you should never need an actual fury generator, just run like the wind and whirlwind all day e'ry day. Edit: I don't...

Ronne is biased against early defense, I wouldn't necessarily listen to that advice :P Although if you're winning your lane, I would definitely prioritize botrk > elder lizard by a mile, lizard doesn't scale well with Trundles W, but it lets you trade with uber tanks top if you are in more of a...

I recommend probuilds.net for builds and build order. Even shows what order they chose skills. Obviously there's some variations but it can give you a good idea, especially when you're looking at a specific character like Kayle.

It's just called Spectrum, it's a legendary. I didn't think level 30 things could drop in Inferno though?

I feel like I would enjoy this game more if I could skip the first like 5-10 levels. Playing it during the open beta weekend was incredibly meh but I can see the potential. It just felt like a slower version of the console X-men ARPGs.

Getting somewhat off topic I guess, but Borg were already becoming individualistic in TNG, because of Hugh. It was covered in one of the 2-parters, with Lore being involved as their leader at that time. Supposedly the Queen was a farther-along representation of the individuality that Hugh...

That epic post I mentioned literally could be a blueprint for improving Diablo 3. There's not really any need to dig around for more at this point. I didn't agree with every thing the post mentioned but I would pour way way more time in to his version of D3 than the current one, and I'm already...

Legendaries are better than yellows in a LOT of slots. Belt, pants, chest, helm, feet, sometimes bracers. In a lot of cases, Legendary weapons are better too, but that depends on the build. I actually dislike this, because Witching Hour means no rare belt ever is worth wearing unless you just...
