That stupid bug where you can’t pick a hero and then the game won’t start is still around.

Pogo:

You’ll play a support in ranked with VMan7 but in Qt3 games you demand a carry and then fail to carry!

I see this all the time. Qt3 people get together and start with a ‘who cares about team comp, let’s fuck around’ attitude… and then when it’s lost in the early game, everyone is pointing fingers and raging.

Really? I haven’t played as much League lately, but it’s been months and months since I’ve had an experience like that. It’s been so long since we haven’t considered team comp that I literally can’t remember the last time it happened.

This is getting silly.

Your mom still cares about team comp.

I suspect my experience will, in the long run, end up matching Blue’s. Coffee suggests playing an AP carry so that if I am playing better than most of the rest of my team (which is reasonably often) there’s a chance of snowballing a victory.

Calistas · 2011-07-12T12:49:42.000Z

Oh! Chiffy’s alt cleared 2000 elo last night! Meanwhile his main “is cursed” and had trolls in two straight matches.

Congrats, bud!

Welcome to the past… oh… four months in the EU servers.

You seem to have forgotten when we last played a “let’s fuck around” game you were the one and only person raging and blaming.

Chill out. Sometimes people don’t care about winning that much and it’s ok if you don’t have a jungler. This is why I don’t play ranked.

I am on the EU servers
I’ve never had it be this bad. 20-40 minutes usually.

Mass Effect lead Gameplay designer joins Riot games.

JM1 · 2011-07-12T13:28:27.000Z

Excellent. I eagerly anticipate the upcoming cover mechanic.

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2011-07-12T13:30:58.000Z

Does this mean we’ll be able to take cover behind trees and waist-high walls?

Curses, ninja’d by JM!

DragonPup · 2011-07-12T13:46:37.000Z

I look forward to our new morality wheel!

On that subject:

#TryndamereRemake is turning out pretty minor. Mostly cosmetic/HUD/usability upgrades

Pogo · 2011-07-12T14:54:46.000Z

Tryndamere doesn’t need a remake. Remakes are dumb. Nearly all champions just need tweaks.

AaronSofaer:

I’m going to play Soraka in Qt3 games.

No. You’re going to play Taric. Soraka’s fine. Soraka’s great, even. She’s got a silence, those are rare and hilarious. However. Taric + Garen = win. So we’re going to do that instead.

Pogo · 2011-07-12T16:54:53.000Z

Taric + Aegis + AD Carry = win

I think Riot’s “remakes” of champions often tend to actually be just tweaks. Rarely do they actually seem to completely overhaul anything in a way that I would associate with the word “remake”.

When you look at some of the stuff that they talk about doing during the testing of remakes it sounds drastic and awesome with real changes to what skills do. Then after months of testing and tweaking, they maybe remake someone’s passive and change some ratios around in the skills.

I think I’m back in love with Janna again. Laned with a noob Ashe - one of my brother’s friends - so that was kinda meh (You gotta be more aggressive when I put my shield on you. Oh, I had no idea what that was.). But we also had a Sivir mid who carried hard so that worked out well. And the other team had an Eve get super fed so I kept buying wards and oracles (I think I bought 4 over the course of the game - my HoG, Philo Stone, and 30 assists managed to fund that) and eventually she became a non-factor. Went Philo, HoG, Ionian Boots, Aegis, and had started on a Rod of Ages, but that was enough. With her whirlwind, monsoon, and shield she isn’t bad at holding a tower for a little while 1v5. Went 2/6/30 but felt like I was contributing a lot.
