Anyone remember the IPL4 game where Dignitas used revamp Soraka middle and Lulu top and were rewarded for their strat with champ bans in all future matches and nerfs to both champions literally the next patch after? Janna has seen changes specifically to keep AP Janna from ever being a thing...

Your league and your MMR can become disconnected. It's hard to say whether it's theirs or yours. If it's happening routinely the most likely explanation is that your MMR is higher than your league would reflect. edit - yeah, unless they are zero LP silver 5s.

Normals have their own unique MMR completely separate from your ranked MMR. It's part of what makes them so hilarious.

No, it wouldn't. The problems I am talking about aren't inexperienced players entering ranked before some members of the community think a player should. The problems I am talking about are the environment that people can continue to find themselves in after hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds...

I maintain that low Elo games are miserable places for players to try and improve. You don't learn good lessons from the games you play and the whole thing can feel completely beyond your control no matter what you do.

You can get duplicates beyond two. There is an option to disenchant all the extra cards you have with one click.

I didn't say they made money off the secondary market. I said if I had a consumer base willing to spend the kind of ridiculous money that MtG players were willing to spend I'd not be willing to rock the boat with online action either.

I'm constantly stunned at the money that players of MtG are willing to shell out and the values of cards that they are willing to accept. If I had a player base like Hasbro does I probably wouldn't rock the boat either. But that does create opportunities. I don't like Hearthstone at this...

I do not take the position that you should never surrender. There are plenty of times where I am happy to accept that I have been beaten and just want to move on. But I want the enemy team to establish they are better and that they aren't going to throw the game away. Getting wrecked during the...

Those are not useful stats.

We shoot lots of bad people. It skews the numbers.

It kills me when people at any rating act like the game it's impossible to come back from a minor deficit. There is no lead in this game that you cannot flush down the toilet. You never, ever know where the enemy team's morale will break. Not winning fast enough can set someone off.

If you get some help from bot lane (a good opportunity to teach people what leashing is!) Nasus can do buff, buff, and show up at top at level 3 while everyone else is level 2 and then just lane top with a big advantage if it's necessary to do so. If things look stable you can then go take the...

Nasus is perfectly fine. He's got good buttons, good wave clear, he comes with sustain, he's always relevant in team fights with his Wither, and he's good at taking objectives. Absolutely nothing wrong with him.

I prefer jungling (and supporting) because I last hit like dog shit and always have. It's a role where I can be clever and play against my opponent in a way that doesn't necessary depend on my mechanical prowess.

It's actually really, really stupid how the jungle plays out right now. With five S/S+ tier junglers to pick from there's no reason to even try banning them. I still ban Jarvan if I can but it doesn't really matter. Every single one of them has some combination of ridiculous mobility, utility...

Alright, so you want to be a jungler. Learn some combination of Jarvan, Lee Sin, Elise, Zac, and Vi. I recommend always starting at the buff near your bot lane so you can both get a good leash (the players going bottom help you damage the monster), then immediately going to the other buff (no...

Given how well the War on Drugs has done I look forward to seeing all of the money people are going to make providing black market internet.

You like Death Proof more?

Right! Fuck Priests! I thought it did a good job of demonstrating just how utterly remorseless her character was and the performance of both her and the Priest was quite good. Can you really not receive absolution unless you are a Catholic? What kind of bullshit is that?

It set up the Church scene which was a good scene but yeah. I don't know why Fassbender would ever let Cruz near Diaz. You should go on a playdate with the insane sociopath girlfriend of my 20 million dollar coke deal buddy.

It had a bunch of great scenes. It's just that the bleh parts and the unnecessary parts dragged them and the rest of the movie down. As I sit here the day after thinking about the movie those awesome parts have faded but the boring won't go away. You edit this thing down (bye bye intro...

I wish I knew how to set up autoplay.

Yeah, I don't know. The audience knew what was up. It's just filler.

Why show I hate when I feel like I could have done a better job editing than professional editors.

I can't really disagree. It's got some very, very good scenes with some excellent dialogue and some great acting but it's also got scenes that are justterrible.Long ones.Long.If it was about thirty minutes shorter it could have been a whole bunch of dark fun but the pacing is awful and the...

Played a bit over the last few days and I'm already moving on. It's the kind of game where I don't actually have fun winning (or even playing, for that matter) but when I make an awful mistake or lose it still pisses me off.

I don't really see myself playing constructed outside of a necessity to complete a daily quest or whatever.

Get a key (thanks again, Juvarisx), do the tutorial, unlock everyone, draft what I think is a pretty decent Priest deck, look for a game. I get handed a Priest mirror and he hits me with turn 1 Holy Smite. It's like I've time traveled back to 1996 and no one knows how to play a card game.

Before S3 they said they wanted assassins to be better but it's like they forgot they always nerf the assassins that do their job well. Something something counterplay something something burst damage. The little 5 dollar card that comes with some champions, an IP boost, an exp boost, and a Yi...

Hydra. Buy Hydra.

I saw Beetlejuice in the theater. It was the first VHS I ever owned. I still listen to Harry Bellafonte from time to time. I predict terrible CGI that will completely ruin my childhood memories of the film.

Patch 3.10a had the Phage/Trinity changes, a moderate Zac nerf, and not much else and was two months ago. It was going to be the last little bit of stuff before Worlds. Most of my annoyances stem from the current environment having solidified after Worlds. Watching people stream and playing...

I'm trying to play some more games tonight just to play and not only does the game feel completely stagnant but the banning phase is entirely pointless Vayne Corki Jinx Lee Sin Jarvan Elise Vi Zac Zed Ahri Fizz Kass That doesn't even count champions like Blitz and Thresh or...

It made me go back and watch the Evo 2013 top 8. Knowing a little bit about the game and a lot about some of the players helped a great deal.

Dude, you'll do better. You'll also know some people that you can do your placements with from here if you are really worried about it.

You will get to play a new set of placement matches for season four. You'll almost certainly do better.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

It's for awesome is that it's for.

Go North young man. Go North.
