So did magma chamber ever come out?
Have not played since lulu came out so it been a while.

Nah, it's still more or less a legend retold on forums.

You can use it as an escape if you're in melee range when you start, and if you use it on moving people you can get some interesting effects, though those are very unreliable.

... Quinn's E is only a dash in a sort of technical sense. It's not a gapcloser or a repositioner, it's a pretty piss poor way to dodge effects, and you can't run away with it at all (caveat: Unless I am seriously missing something)

I think that if you use it next to a wall it will toss you over the wall, assuming your attack range is large enough. Not great, since it applies to very few walls, but it can save you in a pinch.

Outdoing Yi on ARAM is something to be proud of.  Especially when most of your team is squishy.

Spoiler: 80k damage to champions! (click to show/hide)

It was a close game.  We had only one tower down when they were attacking our Nexus.  Our inhibitor respawned, and we made a comeback from there.

Her ultimate is good for running away, ganking, stealing objectives(dragon, baron, buffs), backdooring...

If you use a ultimate with a long cooldown, and damage (both with the buff & the ult's ending) to flee, it's like using malphite's ult to flee through the jungle : it's wasting it ...

This is the wrong way to look at it. If using an ult to secure a kill is worthwhile, then using an ult to escape certain death is an equally good choice. Just having the option to escape makes an ability more versatile and therefore stronger.
 One important use of Quinn's ult that Orangebottle may have missed - post teamfight clean-up. A great utility to have on the ad carry, who really wants those extra kills.

So, anyone know what the problem is with the EU LCS summer promotion? They had hardware problems yesterday and put off the matches for today, now the twitch channel says they're postponed again?

I'm back home so I don't have decent enough internet to play, and was hoping to at least waste a few days watching other people play, but it seems I can't even do that now 

[penguinofhonor]

I am very happy jungle Nasus exists. It's like top Nasus, except you hide for the first 15 minutes of the game.

edit: Hey Graven, here's the LCS problems thread. Not sure how helpful it'll be.

[Graven]

Yeah, noticed it. The EU LCS seems to be suffering from a lot of hardware problems, damn.

ALSO!!!

Leaguepedia's BEST RIVEN NA charity tournament is about to begin soon! 1v1s toplane! Dyrus, HotshotGG, ZionSpartan, BestRivenNA, BOXBOX and others!

It's on twitch, Gmanbob's website lists all the streams:
http://guardsmanbob.com/stream/index.php

It's for charity, so might as well check it out. Who knows, it could even be entertaining!

[frostshotgg]

My money is on BestRivenNA. That fucker can play like a beast.

[Jopax]

So just played a game of ARAM. Got Nunu.

Holy shit man, holy shit.

[Graven]

See, if y'all had played some Dominion, you'd be familiar with how utterly terrifying Nunu is in botlane. And maybe Wickd wouldn't have lost that 1v1 with Soaz [though it's highly beneficial that he did, imo].

Also what's the deal with the Korean poke-build for Ezreal? Elder lizard, Iceborn Gauntlet and other assorted shenanigans? I've seen it in the OGN tournament, I've seen it on streams, I only haven't seen it actually win a game. The one single game where I saw a poke ezreal win was when Boxbox was smurfing in Bronze.

I assume it's fun to throw around 1 second  mystic artillery shots, but god damn, in the OGN CJ Frost vs Wots-their-face the opposing Vayne completely destroyed the Ezreal during the laning phase, and even more so after that.

[penguinofhonor]

It's a pure utility poke-kite build. You lose a lot of DPS on it, so it's pretty situational.

[IronyOwl]

I love the worst parts of this game sometimes.

[frostshotgg]

It's even better because StephanosRex is the actual voice actor for some of those champions.

[Jopax]

Most of those are actually quite intelligent insults with a few rather stupid ones thrown in. If anything some of those would get honor for being inventive when berating their teammates. Teemo for one, and Darius, and Graves
