Wingsofdeath is one of the better streamers as far as explaining his decisions. Really helped me think about things better. If you want to Learn, Nightblue3 and Wingsofdeath are some of the best.

The struggle is real. I've never really cared about ranked too much. But I have found that you can indeed fall back down a division. I've floated around 55-60% win rate for the majority of my time playing league. After I hit Gold V (I was Gold II/I last season) I just tanked. Back to Silver I...

Well I can't seem to break this losing streak. Longest I have ever been on (10+). I play my best champions (Leona/Thresh/Udyr/Elise) and every game. Something catastrophic happens. Sometimes I do badly, sure. But DC's, terrible engagements and every other factor. May be time to take a week...

I've watched a few games here and there now and here are my thoughts. I didn't like that the opposing team CANNOT cross your little turret gate thing at all. This makes for less interesting "jungle" type plays. The game is focused around competing for objectives. So, if you play League...

Since I started jungling a few days ago. The vision changes are a thing of beauty. Since I know most do not ward and the red trinket lets me run through without even bothering to destroy them for ganks! Udyr Victories! I am not so hot with Elise though, comparatively. Had to play top a few times...

Well Gold is far more toxic than it appeared to be last season. I played Leona 95% of the time last season, and did well. But every game I'm in lately has one or two absolute fail lanes who die to the stupidest shit. A lot of games are totally bonkers too. People just running around and not...

After you do a lot of ranked you begin to learn a lot of the nuances of the game. Normals are just for testing builds and trying out new champs before ranked. I don't get satisfaction from laning with someone who (likely) has no idea what they are doing. This happens in normals pretty often...

Finally won my promo series back to gold. First game went well. Second game I was honestly surprised we won. Had a "top only or feed" dick in the lobby, who went full damage Renekton and almost AFKd because Yi wouldn't go tank. Our Ashe, sat at Nexus and did nothing all game complaining at being...

My promos back to gold were filled with shit. First game had a troll ass pre-made who went Ahri/Xin Bot Lane. Forcing Sivir to go mid and get destroyed by LeBlanc. I did go 8/2 as Udyr though that game. But whatever. Next two games had me playing ADC, but top and mid didn't do so well. Oh well...

DA:O was all about the Blood Mage. The retarded AOE shit he could do would kill literally anything. You didn't even need to be tanky. The Arcane Warrior scaling armor off of magic items was pretty hilarious too. All in all. DA:O wasn't a bad introduction to their new IP. Some of the characters...

Yeah, I got the same as Bloodfrenzy. Gold II, went 6-4 and got Silver III. But I was on a huge losing streak right before the reset.

Been playing arena a lot lately. Finally had an AWESOME draft for a Warrior Deck (Black Knight, the better warrior spells, Ysera). Just to go 0-3 with the absolute worst draws I could possibly have.

So, went 6/4 and went from Gold III to Bronze III. INTERESTING. Oh well, time to climb once more!

Since I didn't see it in here and we're coming up on the release of this I figured I'd start a thread. With last years kickstarters it appears that 2014 is going to be an excellent year for cRPG's. I can't be the only one excited about them. Although they all have adopted the turn based combat...

Well got my account hacked for the first time in... anything. Not sure how they acquired my stuff. But they did. This shall be a great ordeal. UNGH. Luckily I use paypal and dont have a saved CC on there, and I have little RP and IP at the moment. So I do not believe they can do much damage.

What I have learned is that ranked becomes a whole lot of fun when you focus on your own abilities and see yourself improve. Ignore the toxic player base and just do the best you can every time. You'll rise up before you know it.

I've only been in a few games with exceptional Rivens. Most Riven players however, are full of themselves little shits for some reason.

League is srs bsns

Did a Mystery gift with a friend of mine and got Spirit Guard Udyr. So I am quite pleased with it today!

The gold changes are definitely noticeable. I'd say as support I get about 20% less gold that I was in 3.14. Lame.

Well, the pool of mages you can bring down to bot lane is limited anyway. They absolutely have to have a stun otherwise they are completely useless and a liability. I am so tired of seeing SuppAnnie in Gold with players saying, "Oh, number one banned champ in pro league. She's totally OP scrub!"...

I'm not sure how many of you play Dwarf Fortress or games with a lot of simulation complexity, but Project Zomboid is bloody brilliant. It is in development but you can pick it up on steam for like $15. It has an astounding level of detail even now. May not be for a lot of people though. But if...

Yeah, I don't like the back paddling on Gold Income for supports. I play Diana/Leona the majority of the time and I fucking love Support Leona. Actually being able to get items on a support has made the role way more involved and interesting. Vision changes are awesome too. The S4 changes...

Let me Google that for you. $25

I've worked as a software developer for quite a while. I'm interested in what made it so bad? Was it a typical "silicon valley" type interview? Or were they just dicks in general?

Riot released their API to the masses today. Any other code ninjas around who want to dick with it a bit over the Winter holiday? I'm configuring it now so I can play with it at work whenever I don't feel like coding what I am supposed to be.

Not entirely sure what their plan with the HALO jump was here. As cool as it looks. As a licensed skydiver I absolutely love seeing absurd "skydiving" in movies. Personally, I would have pulled super high and landed somewhere else. 1.) HALO Jump 2.) Land on Godzilla. 3.) ?????????? 4.) Profit.

I too think that S4 has been fantastic. The vision changes make the game far more interesting. I'm just a gold player, but vision creep was getting really lame. With somewhat more limited vision it seems to just let more things... happen during a game. What can really be done with the meta...

Indeed. I hope my numerous posts in the League thread weren't an indicator!

Finally. The Medic is by far the most interesting champion to me. I have always played heals and the Spellslinger just wasn't calling me. It was either Esper or Medic. Looks like Medic it is. Wildstar is the first MMO that has actually interested me in years, and I haven't played one since...

After more obsessive playing. I got to the Base attack and I only got a single wave of reinforcements for some reason... despite having like 70 in the barracks and a good 2/3rds of them in Carapace/Exalt laser shit.... All I got was 2 of them for reinforcements and they had nothing. I also had a...

I was on top of the ship with most of my guys when I triggered the 8 turns until death shit. Chrysalids have more tiles of movement per turn than ours. So even though I bee-lined it to the exit. As I got across the map, a swarm of 8 of them slowly picked off whoever was just a little too behind.

I got Defender Leona, Scuba Gragas and Uncle Ryze. Not bad I guess. Since I play Leona all the time.

So I finally picked this up and have been playing Ironman obsessively. I neglected to get it earlier, because this game fucking consumes me when I start playing it. The Mec's are pretty good to rush to. And some of the gene mods are really nice. However! Fuck that Zombie/Fishing Village...

I am totally down for some Sunday evening pen and paper on the weekly.

Saul and Toby also both have that same condescending whisper of a voice that I fucking hate. I am not sure why it annoys me so much, but it made The West Wing unbearable sometimes.

That was god damn awesome.

Would anyone be interested in running a coop world at some point this week?

After reading the some 300 pages of this thread since the announcement. There is just one thing I hope that SOE can capture. I like the new design if they are able to pull it off. But the only thing I need to be satisfied from this game is if they can capture the inherent fear and wonder...

Well I am quite impressed by this. No matter what nobody can say that SOE(of all companies) isn't trying to break the mold of a stagnant genre. It may fall flat on its face, it might be a wild success. Either way, I am excited to see how it turns out. SOE was the first company to make the MMO...
