I'm one of those derps who values verisimilitude in games. Messing around with the defenses of towers and bonus gold awarded for killing the put an end to lane swaps or nerfing minion gold for junglers if they have the most gold is just so artificial it negatively impacts my enjoyment of the...

In regards to Nunu specifically it looks like his snowball operates like Taliya's thing as I said. You hit with one and it slows the enemy and then more hits slow more until it roots or if you melee them when they have that debuff they are rooted. Then when they are rooted they are vulnerable to...

I always found it frustrating how the live team was perfectly willing to leave characters in terrible condition. There was a stretch where just picking Evelyn was considered trolling up to picking her in a ranked game leading to people eating warnings under the guise of poor communication...

Hey look they got rid of Ice Blast and replaced it with a frost themed version of Taliyah's Threaded Volley. Oh boy. Point and click abilities have no place in zee new older, mein kommandant.

I've complained forever that the game does not have a form of ranked play that exactly mirrors the format for the Hearthstone World Championships. How to pick a proper stable of decks for tournament play and being very good with several decks at once are skills necessary for competitive play and...

A friend of mine that plays and is a super casual was telling me about his experience with the expansion. In his first three games he ran into a MechThun deathrattle (the Reckless Experimenter one) combo kill and had no idea what even happened. His opponent had nothing, no deck, and then won and...

Yes, exactly.

Man, not for me. The first time I quit WoW was over them. They were first added in their modern incarnation during the Burning Crusade and I went from being happy to have a way to farm cash to despising the daily busywork and the expectation that I log in each day and do it. By the time I was...

And every time you activate him you say Grenzo FLIP in an Asian accent.

There's nothing that stops you from using the pet with MM, you just get 10% bonus damage if you don't have one.

As a spectator and spectator only I've had a good time watching Dog and Kripp play with the new cards but for this first week at least it doesn't look to be a healthy meta at all. In too many games all the decisions one player made up during the early and middle parts are entirely negated when...

I can't even listen to the commentary for the big WotC hosted Magic the Gathering events. The coverage is too terrible. I'll take Yipes gibberish over just about anything in esports commentary.

Exactly this. You can sell them on eBay and then ship the physical item with delivery confirmation (automatically included on all shipping methods these days) and it should be fine. You can mail them first class in a box for less than three dollars if you don't to just go with an envelope.

I read a book a while ago called One Second After that is about the effects of an EMP attack against the United States. Communications networks are down, power is down, everyone's electronics are fried, only the older mostly mechanical cars still work, etc. That premise, if you've got no money...

Was it last year or the year before that they changed the top lane tower to make 2v1 lanes stop happening? "We want lane swaps to have an inherent risk and by risk we mean we want the LCS to look like solo queue so we'll make it so punishing to lose the first tower and the top tower so weak that...

I like how happy he is through the whole thing as you're doing dailies and stuff.

Think of all the underground continents there are as well as the flying cities and underwater civilizations left to explore.

If someone was interested in streaming as a career they would not be doing themselves any favors by dismissing the people that have been successful at it.

I'm aware. For Standard and Limited it could be Scry X where X equals how many times you mulliganed.

Feeling like you're got a chance whenever you sit down at the table opposite someone is a good thing and Magic the Gathering, for the most part, has that. Draw variance is a large component of that. Sometimes you've just got all the right cards or your opponent has all the wrong cards or make...

I assumed those were short duration temporary animations rather than true undead.

For figs that aren't quite to scale you can put them on a base that actually does represent their size. I keep an assortment of cork tiles/panels/circles I bought at Walmart for that and all kinds of other things. Templates, spell radiuses, temporary monster figs (all these squares are oozes or...

I mean where did you learn all these lifehacks. There's fucking three pages of dragons for sale of all different styles. Your gurl drag you into Hobby Town and you were like, bam, dragons.

This story stuff is fine and all but I'm really more concerned about seeing the class I boosted already have nerfs on the way. I have no frame of reference, I don't know what I'm doing, I have no idea what the game looks like at 120, and I'll never set foot in a mythic raid but I care very much...

When the fuck did you get all sophisticated? Arts & Crafts | Michaels.com Canada 6" x 5" x 5.5" @Szeth

I will say that their Sion rework really impressed me. Sion was a character that I played heavily in the beta and in season one and continued to be a pocket character into the later seasons. He was shitty but he was hard to fuck up so if I got stuck mid (support or jungle only pls god nothing...

League will be forever dead to me when that day comes. Some of us geezers need characters where you just mouse over something and push a button and the thing happens. I also secretly hope Top Lane Nunu will one day reappear. Nunu is the goddamn poster child for "if this character is ever good...

Nothing wrong with time capsuling it but I've always had good success with eBay. Just restrict the auctions to the United States + Japan.

They should launch League of Legends Classic with the game exactly as it was right after Udyr was launched. New players need training wheels for the genre! Small roster! Point and click abilities! League of Legends Online Adventures, it's time to slay the baron.

I think it was though. League of Legends had a box release at Walmart and Target even. It was just as much for everyone as World of Warcraft. Over time it has grown into a very complex esports juggernaut and become much less the derp party game. There's nothing wrong with that but it's...

The mana costs on arcane cannonballs and frost nova with the blight cure talent are fucking insane and she couldn't get out of combat to drink.

That's a bit odd with League of Legends if you think about it. It was the first game for a bunch of us, at least this kind of game. Defense of the Ancients was niche and difficult to get started with while League was that style of game but accessible. This was the first big esport title for a...

Randomness as how the players interact with each other and all of the different ways that could play out isn't really randomness. It's a complex system in which all of the interactions between variables make predictions impossible and the final outcome opaque. That can create some really...

This is the first part of the event that I thought was really, really dumb.

I Love You, Daddy This is that black and white Woody Allen looking film Louis CK put out with John Malkovich and Chloe Hit Girl that got destroyed because Louie liked taking his dick out in front of women. It was a little too long and it had some issues with tone as it hopped around from...

OR IS IT

The swerve is the login screen is actually the aftermath of the simultaneous counterattack against Stormwind. The young king was outmaneuvered and paid dearly.

Related - if you're super poor you can do things like wear heirlooms that are suboptimal. Leather on a plate class, caster cloak on melee, etc. They aren't otherwise restricted.

Sylvanas is going to lead the Horde to a decisive and lasting victory against the Alliance. Old Gods, the Void, etc. are all macguffins. Just straight up military conquest. No one will have seen it coming.
