Agreed. Kidding aside, I see less rage here than in a lot of other games I've played.

Showdown is so much fun. Not incredibly balanced, though; I'd rather have All For One back for a second run.

Wow, the Evil Geniuses vs Determined games were great to watch. Watching it also showed me the counter to Thresh's lantern which is pile as much shit on top of the lantern so no-one can click on it!

I feel the casters and analysts were a bit mean on Determined though in post-match, even though they didn't ban the Ziggs I felt they tried to build their team around champs which can chase Ziggs easily, Lissandra can slow and stun Ziggs twice and Akali has great chase, unfortunately for them that was one of the best Ziggs I have ever seen and EG just played so well as a team.

Not gonna lie, I thought Liss was a horrible pick. I'm not a huge fan of Liss in general, her range is too damn short and her cc just isn't good enough to make up for it. No real reason in my eyes to play her over Ori if you want a utility mage, or Syndra if you want more damage.

So, some of my cousins are playing this game several hours a day.
I thought I might as well give it a try to see what this commotion is all about.

I'm a little late but...

It's usually not bad if you don't take it too seriously.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS. I cannot stress it enough, if you're getting frustrated, finish your game, stop. For as long as it takes. If you don't you will literally spiral into madness.

If you're not watching the Battle of the Atlantic right now, you're missing something magical.

HINT IT RHYMES WITH BAMUMU MUPORT

... link to something that's not a live stream?

There are some games, which I don't find very fun watching other people play.
As I would rather play those games myself.

This game was insane.

3-4 minute tower, attempted five minute dragon, twenty minute baron.

That bug just did not care early game. Kind of threw it at baron later though.

Speaking of bugs, the multiorbs amused me.

Kayle was a minion/tower machine too. Was pretty neat to watch, especially with that skin.

I lol'd at Nasus walking right through Shyvana for that last Q hit. That was playing Nasus properly.

Overall a very entertaining game.

I find it interesting to watch other people play. I get curious about how other people do things, and watching gives you a much different perspective than actually playing. Especially when it's coordinated, high-level teams like this.

This is pretty close to how I think about it. I'm not really interested in watching random games, but high-level play and specialists (like a certain gentleman with his massive shroom minefields) are fun because they offer new ways to think about the game.

Man I just love watching Gambit play. Their teamfighting is so good.

"Playing support amumu is disrespectful" Damn right it's disrespectful, Doublelift, buddy.

In other news I really like this new Pastry dude who comments. His voice isn't skinning my nerves alive and he appears to know what is happening, which is a lot more than Rivington and Kobe can boast.

[Flying Dice]

I should have stuck to watching matches today, I just had a real wallbanger of my own.

Spoiler: Noxus pls invest in forklifts (click to show/hide)

I was doing pretty well, 1v2ing and 1v3ing them, and even pulled off a Baron bait that turned into an ace, but eventually their Vayne learned how to Condemn me out of my ult, and since nobody else would ever commit, Soraka kept getting caught, Lucian kept facechecking bushes that we were all pinging, and Nasus insisted on backdooring when we had their Nexus exposed, we got worn down. Hell, at one point I bought into a Warmogs just to try to let me tank out a bit longer before popping my Zhonya's in the hopes that they would finally commit to an engage before I (or whichever of them got caught) died, but that just gave them more time to run away and die piecemeal.

I suppose this is a case of won-lane-lost-game. Happens :c

Hamming up games with shouting and random nonsense is terribly fun. Just played a ranked match (SILVER ONE HO!) that was pretty damn good, and incredibly fun, even though we lost in the end. The most fun is that nobody raged, people just screwed about, talked nonsense, peddled drugs to each other and generally had fun.

I really wish most matches were like this, even if they were losses, you don't feel bad because you lost or were let down by your team, you feel good because everybody tried and had a blast. Also talking nonsense helps to ease up the tension and brighten up the mood too.

Also also, somewhat related, local bar has this cool bathroom plastered with newspaper bits and random music CD's, the latest addition to all that are two Teemo 'shrooms

A friend of mine always starts every match with basically "gl hf and may the best [adjective] [reference to the champion he's playing] win". So if he's playing Heimerdinger, he might say "gl hf and may the best genius yordle win", or something. It sets a very light-hearted but competitive atmosphere. You can usually tell if someone's being a jerk on the other team if they respond very negatively, but then he (or sometimes myself or others if we're playing in the same game) will downplay it, maybe with "woah woah woah woah. woah. woah. good day to you sir." or something like that. If the person remains negative, then it's just going to be one of those games, but I find that most of the games have more of a chill atmosphere to both teams.

Role-playing as your character in chat can have much the same effect.
