Well that patch might still not be ready for prime time. Just got in, tried to play a game, and a guy on our side was forced to random. So…next game it instantly puts me at skin select but I have no champ picked. All I can do is lock in and random. Great…

It’s unbelievably pathetic that they’ve been out of beta for a year and still have no reliable way of making changes to the game or PVP.net. They have some weird hybrid system where some info is taken from your computer while other is server-side and the UI is not built to automatically organize shit properly, so adding a new champion means adding code in a whole bunch of places with no consistency.

It’s just so pathetic.

Go play HON then.

I am amused by the suggestion of taking Frozen Mallet on a tank, but it’s not that bad of an idea considering the CC she spits out. Also, her ult has a 75 sec cooldown at rank 3.

tryn’s ult doesn’t remove cc, just that you can activate his ult while CCed(stun/silenced/knocked up) to prevent chain stun -> death before he can ult.

Still happens though if you have good coordination and burst.

True, good clarification. Ult can be used WHILE CC’d, but does not remove it.

It’s actually a somewhat popular choice on Shen since he has nothing else to do during fights after he taunts people.

I have played some HoN recently. The inventory/shopping system is probably most confusing to me right now. I’m trying to catch Inigma when he’s online so he can help me out a bit.

Welcome to playing on EU for the last month (or however long it’s been) :)

Ward changes were great. Makes my Lee Sin even more pwnage. It takes skill to drop wards and jump around like that in battle.

Enjoy getting into the game, and still not being able to play it, as matchmaking is down.

Not that much skill bro, don’t pat yourself on the back for having 75g and a free inventory slot for escape wards.

Besides, this is just reverting the change from a week or two ago. You could do that before.

Your moaning about an 11 minute queue? Seriously?

Wait in a 25 minute login queue, get in, and the matchmaking queues are disabled.

So the servers are ‘up’, but it is all rather pointless.

It was my first time ever seeing a queue in LoL! Sheesh. Are you forgetting already how noob I am? :)

Also, matchmaking is down anyway.

MrCoffee · 2011-07-08T14:34:40.000Z

Welcome to Patch Day, AaronSofaer.

Expect this to happen every 2 weeks.

Heh, nah I’m just ragging on anyone in the US that moans about queues because well… EU :)

skyride · 2011-07-08T14:37:02.000Z

What kind of logic is used to make patch day on Friday? I’d expect the highest volume happens on Friday night.

MrCoffee · 2011-07-08T14:38:45.000Z

It’s usually on Tuesday and even there you get 20-40mins queue.
