For only 100 gold a minute, I can make you ... stealthless.

Perfect timing, too, with a Janna skin on sale. xD

after watching the new cinematic i got overhyped by the cameo of Nautilus, is my favorite champion of all, but tried to play two matches in soloQ and only got defeats -_- damn you rito....why you have to make it look so overpowered :c i dont like to play the brick way.....

[Cthulhu]

In my search for esoteric battle lore I may have gone too far.  I've discovered something truly monstrous.

This is dangerous knowledge, I don't recommend you read this spoiler, but I'll share it nonetheless.  I can't carry this burden alone.

Spoiler: You were warned (click to show/hide)

While playing Jungle Yi, if you taunt before you Q the lizard, the taunt lines will continue to play on constant repeat for the rest of the game.  This continues even if you die, and I've heard it continues even while you're dead.  You won't always be able to hear it because your command responses preempt it, but everyone else can.  Oh god, everyone else can.

Oracle's Elixir removed

...what??

V3.14:

    Removed from game.

... WHAT??

Ok, I am almost SURE I've seen it in a shop way after patch 3.14... But I guess I'm just trippin balls? 

Or maybe it was pre-3.14 that was the last time I used it... dunno, there are times when I simply stop playing LoL for weeks and kinnda loose track of what's been going on.


Hmmm, maybe I used it on TT...

[IronyOwl]

I think Oracle's Extract, the non-SR version, is still in the game.

If we're still doing the most hated champion thing, Nunu. Whenever I'm jungling against Nunu, I know I'm going to have a lot less fun than I would have otherwise.

Wow, it is rare I see people actually argue that a character is bad... not because they are unbalanced, not because they are dumb or anything like that... but because they are just unfun to play against.

I feel... as if perhaps the internet is getting a bit more enlightened about game design.

I had an interesting idea inspired partially by league. It might interest some of you.

Edit: fixed link.

... the general discussion board?

Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

LOL whoops.

Sorry, it's fixed now.

[Cthulhu]

I suddenly realized that despite feeling like I kind of suck at Jungle Yi, I've got like an 8:1 win-loss ratio going on for him.  And I already got my first pentakill with him.

I remember some people talking about how they do jungle Yi, what do you guys do with him?  I've been going smite/flash but I tried smite/TP and liked it a lot.  I farm hard with him so TP is good for making things happen.  I feel like his countergank is a lot better than his gank even past level 6.  Without at least red buff or cutlass he has no cc and if the enemy's running away it's pretty tough to just AA him down before he gets away, but if they're already committed a teleporting Yi can easily turn the gank around.

Plus it makes for better split pushing, though I don't splitpush a whole lot.  I'm still pre-30 so chain-CC and such isn't as much of a problem and while Yi's pretty terrible in teamfights that mostly applies to decent teams.  Like Kat and Trynd and the other pubstompers Yi's a monster in an uncoordinated teamfight.  Run around the back while the front line is occupied or just charge straight through if they're dumb enough and the squishies will be dead before the tank realizes what's going on.

Given that, I feel like when I can get away with it, teamfighting is a more substantial contribution than split pushing.  Split pushing is kind of a "I can't really teamfight so I'd better make something happen" thing.  It apparently works, since I've only lost one game as Jungle Yi and it was my very first one.

[frostshotgg]

When playing Yi and the like with smite/tp, it's important to take maximum advantage of tp. If you can manage it, split push and after a fight breaks out tp to a ward somewhere behind where the fight is. This makes it ridiculously easy to get to the squishies and get away just as fast.

[Arcvasti]

Yeah, Yi is pretty cool. The thing is, I either feel guilty for snowballing really hard off of bad players or get murderized by good players if I get out of position. And I'm not THAT good with him to start with, so the latter is more likely to hapen.

In any case, I've been playing lots of Lulu. Why did I ever take a break from playing her. She is so fun. Running around and doing utility everywhere results in warm fuzzy feelings. Also, I've bound my laugh to the spacebar, for maximum efficiency. Psychological warfare FTW.

[Cthulhu]

I don't like Lulu.  Since Randuin's got nerfed top lane is all Gragas and Lulu and ADCs cause top lane bruisers are now even less relevant. 

And I'm not playing mid this free week.  Ziggs and Xerath holy shit Hitler mid lane right now.

I'm kind of annoyed with League right now in general.  The meta's kind of making my favorite champs sad and when I'm annoyed about the meta the whole thing kind of looks bad.  It's just a revolving door and it'll never change cause of the way the champs are designed.  You've got your roles and within those roles everybody mostly does the exact same thing, so the "meta" is really just a matter of which champ does that thing the best.

You nerf the one on top and second place just moves up.  Revolving door. 

EDIT:  Oh my god.

EDIT:  Oh my god.

Another exciting game of Dota 2.

Really though, how long has Kass been permabanned for? I thought they finally got around to fixing him, but he's still mostly in the same spot professionally.
