    Leveling system? Leveling? Oh, you mean running around the entire game with No Encounter junctioned.

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    Drawing in combat sucks. You select the Draw action, pick a spell you want that the enemy has, it goes into the animation, and you get 1-9 (usually 3-5) stocks of that spell. Each character has their own magic stockpile so if you start out and want everyone to have 100 stocks of Cure then the...

    NFL players are members of a players association that negotiates everything. Riot acted unilaterally and they didn't do a very good job at it.

    Wait, I get it. This is part of a cross promotional plan with Guild Wars 2 or maybe Final Fantasy or MTGO or Blood Bowl or Dungeon Defenders or Counterstrike or Team Fortress 2. I mean, it doesn't hurt anyone for putting 20 extra characters into a sentence so the fact that Riot's list...

    So with Sidian talking about Shaco yesterday I played a few games with him and the only loss I had was due to needing to run the dogs outside. Of the four games every jungler but one was complacent with their routes and let me get away with all kinds of shit. What really stood out though was...

    I'll probably pick that up. My PS1 is dying, my PS2 won't recognize the game, and the emulator I used to play it last time wasn't all that great. Wouldn't mind having it in my Steam library for 12 bucks.

    Alright, you win. You hear me? You win. I've been beaten. You may claim victory. I'll clear it when S4 starts. I'll want to hear all about how you went 2-8 in placements and are stuck back at bronze 3.

    That list of games includes titles such as Warhammer Online - Wrath of Heroes, a game that died back in March and you are going to take the position that I am 100% wrong for saying that this was a terrible implementation of a half-baked idea? "Ha," I say. Ha. You said you don't understand why...

    The talk right now is that there is an addendum that clarifies that a LCS player is forbidden from playing those games on stream period. Not just not allowed to play them sandwiched with LoL content. Never, ever, ever steam those games. But as always our information is not perfect.

    Excuse me? This entire thing is amateur hour. This was a terrible implementation of a half-baked decision and now Riot has a rather ugly PR backlash to deal with. They, and I guess you, don't really understand gamers all that well.

    Again, all of these comparisons to mainstream professional sports instantly fall flat because those other sports have collective bargaining and much better pay. Minimum salary for a NFL player is what, 400k? And anyone playing has union protection. It's 100% different. I stand by my softball...

    It's not. It's really not. It's just a bad idea to act in such a manner (specifically in a unilateral manner) because it'll rile up the player base for little gain. There were better ways of approaching this idea but personally I won't look at the company any worse than I did before. Someone...

    I don't think that comparison is accurate. These players already have sponsorship deals for products and they have restrictions they have to follow. It would be more like if Dale Earnhardt Jr. was forbidden by NASCAR from playing on a softball league. The sport itself is saying what other sports...

    From Riot's perspective it makes sense. You've got these guys under contract for LCS and being part of LCS is tons and tons of advertising for pro player streams. Ever since LCS started viewership has been condensing towards pro players and personalities and a great deal of money can be made...

    It's three seconds! The silence is 1.2 seconds! The fear is going down to 2.3 seconds at max rank but 1.3 seconds at rank 1 instead of 1 second. There are also substantial mana cost reductions to Terrify and to his ultimate. He'll be fine.

    That is rather clever. I was able to be standing looking at my opponent's red buff by 3:01. I've been trying to do a bunch of stuff with +Exp quints for a similar effect (buff, 1 small wolf, buff) but this frees up your quints. People so frequently do one small camp in between their buffs that...
