Played a few arams after a few months of not touching the game.  Got stuck with Gragas once.  Oh my god.  He plays like shit now.  I felt completely worthless.

The new splashes are pretty, but their icons really suck. :/

I rather like the Karthus icon, but otherwise, yeah I agree.

Actually, just in general, the Karthus VU and new voice are the best. That's really all there is to say on the matter. Although its sort of sad his ult isn't red anymore. I used to have fun yelling "NO ONE ESCAPES THE MILES" at the top of my lungs whenever I ulted. It just isn't the same now. Although its nice to not be playing a skittle throwing jellyfish anymore.

This sentence makes no sense. NONE!

It makes sense in context.

He's a very different animal now. For one thing, you definitely don't want to max your Q first - take E. The vast majority of your damage will come from E'ing into people and then hitting them with a W-enhanced melee attack. Combined with your ult and ignite, it does a substantial amount of burst damage.

Honestly, I don't prefer the new Gragas myself, but I do think he's closer now to his 'theme' than he originally was.

Yeah, I figured that out... but I think he needs to be made a lot faster to actually be viable that way.  All of my opponents could easily shut down my attempt at body slamming into a fight by CC'ing or outmaneuvering me as soon as I began to dash forward, or by executing their entire burst combos and insta-gibbing me before I could use a second ability.  I'm sure he's more effective when only fighting one or two opponents, but the kit was complete shit in a team fight.

Jungle Gragas is a complete pain to play against. His E-W does lots of damage and is ripe for a follow up from the enemy laner. His Q is still really annoying if you step in it and his ult is still super good in teamfights. Although in the game I played against him, he never really got the chance to use it properly because of my Lissandra E-W-R initiations.

In regards to the viability of Essence Reaver on Poppy:

Spoiler: huehuehue (click to show/hide)

Also seen above, a perfect example of normals teamcomps. The Shaco was a true bro, though, he camped top long enough for me to snowball.

[frostshotgg]

Holy crap that blitzcrank was a hero. And Shaco really should've gotten a shiv.

[Arcvasti]

Huh, the main thing **I** noticed was that Karma's username. For some reason[probably because I should REALLY be sleeping right now], it made me laugh uncontrollably.

[Flying Dice]

He was, guy spoonfed Ashe for the first twenty minutes. Some of the grabs were downright disgusting, too. Heck, it was a great game all around, mostly because everyone was enjoying it and not flaming; the Graves didn't even complain after the fourth Shaco gank.

(Yes, it was Graves top. We all see how well that worked out for him, especially with that BT rush.)

[Sharp]

(Yes, it was Graves top. We all see how well that worked out for him, especially with that BT rush.)

To be expected, solo adc top can deal lots of damage and snowball quickly but early jungling can easily destroy the lane for them. If that Shaco never came top though then lane would be lost pretty hard, would be better of ganking other lanes.

Yep, we both recognized that as soon as we saw that it was Thresh/Brand bot; the first two ganks ended with me walking away with sub-100HP, but Shaco kept at it long enough for me to get big enough to be Poppy and kill whoever I decided to. I can't stress enough how great that Shaco was.

[Cthulhu]

Shaco always seems to be either so bad he ruins your life or so good he ruins your life.

Got tired of dealing with Dota, and I'll be the first to admit it's too hard.  I don't see anything wrong with that.  I have limited time to spend on recreation, I'm not gonna spend it trying to learn a game by getting my ass kicked repeatedly over 40 minute blocks by people who scream at me in Spanish and Chinese.

Decided to go back to League, got in a quick Viktor game, haven't played in months. 

27/6/24.  It's good to be back.  Kept looking in the wrong spot for the minimap though, and trying to buy TP scrolls.

[frostshotgg]

Isn't the minimap on the right in both dota and league by default? You may have enabled an option in League to flip the character and map.
