I saw the new skin splash art.

Caitlyn is a modern cop with a giant hat and some kind of ridiculous anti-materiel rifle.

Brand is Mr. Freeze.  I'm betting it's a legendary skin with new quotes.

Xerath skins are lame

New Irelia skin looks dumb, and almost looks like a crimson elite skin but who knows.

Also a new fucking Teemo skin in the works.  He's a superhero.

Teemo and Caitlyn, two patches in a row.  Urgot still has no new skins.  wtf riot

Why would you ever want an Urgot skin other than Crabgot?

Well, I have an interesting story for all of you.

I get into this ranked game, our team comp is Aniv, Shaco, Udyr, Zilean, and Singed, against Taric, Cait, Lee Sin, Fiddlesticks, and Kennen. Singed was our last pick who blindly locked in when we needed an AD carry and didn't say anything all game.

As we start, Anivia says, "If we win this, I'll give you all $5." Lo and behold, we win, me and Shaco destroyed bot, Singed AFK farmed top (dying every once and a while to Lee Sin) and Anivia destroyed mid. Combined with a solid jungle Udyr we managed to win, as their morale broke quickly as they saw that they were losing to such a stupid team comp.

At this point I'd like to say that I declined the offer of $5, but I'm only human. He asked if I had Paypal, to which I said no, and then he asked if he could just log into my account to purchase the RP. I have some faith in humanity, so I was like, "Sure, what the hell." If my account got hijacked I could always get it resolved. I deleted the stored credit card info and then gave him the login and password.

Five nailbiting minutes. Am I out a League of Legends account for a few weeks? I log back in, and there's another $5 worth of RP. He's also logged on, and I thank him generously, offering him any help he might need in the future.


tl;dr Good karma, spread it.

This is like watching Shaco stay in a bush and then saying "come on in".... Lol nice story.

I didn't watch it, but apparently China beat the rest of the world in the Intel Extreme Masters. I have no idea about prize money or whatever, other than that it was a pretty big deal.

The results are:
1. China (WorldElite)
2. NA (CLG)
3. EU (SK)

Apparently the Chinese teams played hyper aggressively... something which I find very hard to believe considering how we Chinese do things...

One of the Chinese vs Chinese games almost had an ace at level one.

Riven advice, bluh.

Adding on to it.
Even though Broken Wings is Riven's signature ability, it scales so terribly it is an one-point wonder. Herp. Still a useful ability for mobility, interrupts and charging your Runic Blade.
Riven basically only wants massive amounts of AD. Lifesteal, CDR and tankiness help, but massive amounts of AD are to be acquired first. In particular, it's probably better to use lots of mitigation rather than lots of HP because it synergizes better with Valor and lifesteal.
Three levels of Ki Shout probably is the best idea early on, but after that you could probably max out Valor too and have good odds, if $LANE_OPPONENT does phreaky tons of damage. With a bit of CDR it's like Udyr's turtlespam with a dash thrown in.
Jungle Riven works, although she's a little tricky. I assume that she's fairly easy with tshirt 5 soda though. She's certainly fast and ganks pretty well. Try out in practice first. ^^'

Also I predict massive amounts of Zero fanskins.

[umiman]

Yeah, I really found it weird how important Broken Wings is to Riven's skillset but how you're really not supposed to level it at all. W just does waaaay too much damage.

I think any skill that can obliterate an entire creep wave with just that ONE skill is a sign that that champion will do "TONNES OF DAMAGE".

Edit: Xerath spotlight is out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v5MmuMJ2qU&feature=player_embedded

Like I told some others, I think any champion that has extreme range will be inherently powerful unless their damage is handicapped to compensate (see Lux). Thus, I think Xerath is going to rape people.

[Graven]

Xerath Spotlight.

I just can not imagine a situation where he is not overpowered. The range on his artillery and the damage he seems to do is just waaay too big. Dude can sit in the bushes in Dominion and interrupt a point capture for fuck's sake.

I might be forced to buy him x]

[Ahra]

how easy is riven? i just had an riven team "mate" that got 2/18/5....

Not very. Once you get into the swing of things, she's great fun to play... but figuring out how to build her, how to use her skills correctly, and the mentioned broken-wings-actually-kinda-sucks thing, means she takes a lot of getting used to.

Lux can already do that

[Bordellimies]

Good god, we lost to a team who had 4 AD carries, 3 of which are pure AD...

They had Riven, Vayne, Talon, Caitlyn and Swain. We got owned by them, how..
Also, me, Blitz and Xerath had like 300 armor, and I had at least 2800 hp as well.


and GODDAMN IS THIS THE LEAGUE OF QUEUE DODGERS LIKE 8 DODGES IN A ROW

[Ahra]

happens as people want to be the one to test the new char.  3 times this day

[Micro102]

They really need to put in harsher punishment for q dodging. Maybe cumulative. The more you q dodge, the worse the punishment.

It's horrible when they wait until the last second to q dodge.

Not every 3 seconds she can't. It might feel like that some times, but it isn't.

You mean like they already do?

That is so useful.

I am playing jax again... should be interesting. He and Shaco were the first champs I bought.
