Server maintenance. Friday night this time. Can they possibly chose a day and time and stick with it? :(

Calistas · 2011-08-19T02:21:22.000Z

Watching FN vs SK game. FN got a brilliant first blood. Bottom lane hid in their bush, and with Ashe there on her own, they CV’d their own bush, making Ashe think “oh, they musn’t be there if the CV it”… so Ashe ran into the bush and died to Jana and Tristana, megalolz!

Watched CLG vs FX, those Ashe arrows :/

McKnight · 2011-08-19T06:57:06.000Z

As an SK fanboy, they are certainly trying very hard to make me so sad :(

copet · 2011-08-19T07:38:51.000Z

inkai, McKnight, can you point me to where I can find VoDs of the games you watched? :)

inkai · 2011-08-19T07:56:29.000Z

Try here?
Highlight videos available for the moment, maybe more later since they just streamed them.

Found some here

They are archived on own3d, although the VoD’s from today’s games won’t be up until later on today/tomorrow unfortunately. For some reason ESL delay them significantly.

How can you be a fanboy of a team with that douchebag Ocelote? :s

Anyway, just letting the EU-Mumble people know that i’m not going to be playing for a while. Not at my place for a few months and got some lag where i am

Besides, i rather grind my HoM stuff on GuildWars than waste my time on solo queue.

I did that trick once. we had morg/garen, and I told our support to CV the bush we were in. took us 2 cvs to convince the other side to march in.

forgeforsaken · 2011-08-19T10:51:52.000Z

Sort of related, a fun trick to do with Wukong is if you are laning bot against a support with CV. Just hang out in a bush and they will probably CV it to see if you are there, then you drop your clone run out and flash to them, catches them completely off guard.

Dominion livecast starting http://gamescom2011.leagueoflegends.com/

Shellfishguy · 2011-08-19T12:20:06.000Z

I like the look of it, especially that the average game time is 18 mins.

Lol, pretty much, most of the tanky dps are noob stompers but Yi is definitely not a pub stomper.

My AtMogs Master Yi disagrees. But I think that is because I’m farming 200+ creeps against players that finishing with 50ish creeps. It also helps that I know the value of blue/red buff and thus can spam Alpha Strike over and over.

So when I show up to a team fight with 4k HP, a trinity force and over 200 AD, people just don’t know what hit them.

forgeforsaken · 2011-08-19T14:56:08.000Z

So Dominion looks awesome. I think it works better as spectator game as well with a lot more moment to moment action. The only downside is that with so much action you sort of lose the Big Play moments of the classic DotA style modes.

inkai · 2011-08-19T15:08:18.000Z

Hmm, it looks good but I think heroes with plenty of cc/knockback or plain ol’ damage will be favoured here, leaving certain to die and wither but that’s what summoner rift will be for so I’m happy.

That conduit (electric thingie) item looks pretty badass though.

Calistas · 2011-08-19T15:32:20.000Z

I am loving the way Dominion is shaping up. I think with clever itemization they will be able to keep it nicely balanced. Should be an awesome filler game.

No shit, when you show up with 10k worth of items people get wrecked?

I’d much rather see an Udyr with 10k on my team. He wouldn’t need to go Atmog’s for retarded survivability.

MrCoffee · 2011-08-19T16:36:30.000Z

So you farm for 40 minutes and then join the team fight?

maxle · 2011-08-19T16:37:13.000Z

Yeah, if you were Renek or Irelia or Udyr or Jarvan or Garen or who the fuck ever you could be wrecking people before you got any items.
