I think Bard is balanced by his ability to open one-way portals into the fog of war and kill himself.

Initial impressions of Bard are that he's in his own tier. I'm reminded of what it felt like to play against Thresh during his release.

That's really a downer story. I didn't know that the script he originally auditioned for was changed so much. Ghostbusters 2 was even worse. Winston did about zero in that one. I think part of why I regard the character as I do is because of the years as a kid I spent watching The Real...

This patch is exactly the kind of patch that I like. The nerfs are gentle and properly targeted, there's some light but decent buffs to underplayed characters, and a number of changes that open up new options. There are things to try after this patch, lots of things. My only concerns are more...

The Walmart by me stopped selling them but Best Buy still has them it looks like.

There used to be five dollar gift card things that came with a one week exp boost, one day IP boost, Garen, Yi, Ashe, Annie, Ryze, and a Yi skin. edit -http://www.bestbuy.com/site/riot-lea...skuId=6668017# Worth the buckos.

Keep saving and playing what's free until you really find something you like. Wukong would be a good character for a beginner but I wouldn't recommend Viktor.

I can't be the only one who liked Winston.

An argument with Mist? About the sciences?

Tautological truths are the best truths.

That port isterrible.Load times all over the place. I recommend emulation.

I had forgotten that even went in. Pretty much can't hurt yourself buying any of it now.

I don't agree with that assessment at all. Her ass too fat.

Her ass is fat enough that if you've got some control of the board she's going to get piles of value before going down. If you drop her turn four and she sticks around or really whenever she survives you get to set up silly wrath + rebound effects for turns five and six.

You can definitely have a positive win rate and still be bronze.

You know that wins and losses are not equal, right? And that the more games you play without advancing the system becomes more and more convinced that you are at your proper rating and the value of any win or loss decreases, right?

It's definitely possible if you play enough games. You could get placed into Bronze and then grind a few thousand games with a 50.2 win percentage and never really go anywhere. The system is going to be damn certain you are where you are supposed to be and your gains are going to be miniscule...

Look at this scrub and his +18 wins. It's not the most transparent system in the world, that's for sure. I miss just having Elo.

If I was +50 and still bronze I'd take up checkers. That's just brutal.

For runes you can and should buy T1s. They have >50% the stat value of T3s for 7% of the price. Never, ever buy T2s. By the time you can buy T3s you should have a better idea what and who you like to play.

I've sold cards many times on eBay and never had a problem but if you go that route I advise against shipping anything internationally. The lazy route is to contact a major buyer like Troll and Toad or Star City. Everyone I know who has gone that route has been fine with how the transaction went.

I'd be pretty thrilled to be a tech company, get forced to comply secretly with the NSA, and then when the story gets out watch my international sales go into the garbage can because everyone knows my product comes ready made with back doors...

You should because these were changes that were supposed to address underpowered characters that relied on that item as a crutch to be effective. Those were the stated design goals.

Making his Q a skill shot, his Event Horizon delayed, and decreasing the ratio on his ultimate coupled with the removal of DFG is not going to be a net buff versus some mana costs and minor changes to cool downs. He wasn't a great character but he had some big strengths if you could take...

Saturday morning queues are all madness all the time. You really have to be prepared to roll the dice if you press the Play button.

That's so much better to read than "it was all perfect and you guys just didn't get it and it'll be regraded as a classic forever by a new generation" or all the other bullshit you hear when a movie isn't very good.

Veigar, Zilean, and Mordekaiser were characters that had some really big and unique strengths but some equally large deficiencies to go with them. Rather than go the harder route of preserving those strengths while improving those characters and still maintaining balance they wussed out and...

"Let's just make everything a skill shot" combined with nerfing his passive from global to an aura around him and nerfing the duration of his ultimate in exchange for things like two base armor and an auto attack that isn't garbage is a homogenization of his kit. It's the same shit with Veigar...

Yes. Foxfire, Sigil of Malice, and Pyromania are ultimates. Other ultimates include Terrify, Reckoning, Dazzle, Rune Prison, Whimsy, and Parrlay. Again, you keep saying no interaction. Q E Q only detonates the first bomb. The second bomb still takes four seconds to cook off. That's a whole...

Day. Three day.

It was non-interactive in that your opponents had four seconds before the second bomb detonated to do something. Do you just have a problem with abilities where you mouse over someone, push a button, and it does a thing? League's got a bunch of that and on better champions than Zilean. You...

Zilean's old combo cost almost three times as much mana as most ultimates while also being his only burst option. Even if you mashed it on someone they and their teammates had four seconds to do something about the second bomb. New Zilean has less range on his W, less auto attack range, his...

They might prove to be alright but what was done to them was still a homogenization of their unique strengths in exchange for very little at a time where new champions are pushing the design envelope.

We have been hearing for weeks about how there were changes in store for some of the weaker characters that relied on DFG. Ahri got a whole series of buffs right away but Mordekaiser and Veigar would have to wait. Their patch finally shows up and instead of shining up those characters the live...

I got a chance with Zilean and the good news is that even though the patch notes were not written clearly his Time Warp is either a 99% movement speed debuff on enemies or a 99% movement speed buff on allies. I liked the old 5.5 second duration Time Warp at 55% but this is still very good. His Q...

Let me preface this by saying I'm always open to just being flat out wrong about my assessments but I don't like this patch at all. The changes to Morde, Veigar, and Zilean are all ugly homogenizations and/or nerfs on unique characters that are being sold as buffs or positive changes. Two...

During game two of a match you needed to win to continue on in the event you made some suboptimal choices and were killed on your opponent's final turn when time ran out leaving the results a draw. When the match was over you expected your opponent to concede to you because you won game one and...

Doublelift is and has always been a derp. He pushes buttons super good and his brain is potatoes.
