I had a dream where Commander Shepard, Wrex, and Garrus were killing random bad guys in a space station. No joke, been playing ME3 alot lately.

Riven is one of the least fun champions to lane against.Her stupid early game power is just ridiculous.
Least Riot is nerfing red elixir start and 9pot/2ward start, that may tone
down her early game a bit... maybe. Lol
The final scene with Dany was great:
Loved the music that was played during that scene and into the credits, very epic and dramatic.

Can't remember the very first one I read, but I remember the first one I read and downloaded from this site:

[color=#9D0A0A]Dyrus got some of the best fans :P [/color]Spoiler:
Dyrus is the only pro streamer I subbed to, he's quiet but when he yells and has outbursts it skyrockets the entertainment value. Plus I like the music he listens to, just a mix of electro, Jpop, hiphop, rock, etc.

looks like Cures is in trouble for trolling.In trouble? From Riot or another team?
Ah, found it on reddit.
Apparently, CLG (as well as some fans) are accusing Curse of trolling and throwing the game on purpose so they would have to play Vulcan instead of GGU.
Yeah, just saw Curse's rebuttal. Thing is... isn't that what scrims are for, seeing what works and what doesn't? Further weakened when it showed CRS laughing as the game ended, reminded me of the ARAM debacle between CRS and DIG last year at an MLG tourney.
Not that it matters anyways, as according to Oddone:

My god, that Xpecial Crescendo. Definitely deserving of that All-Star spot. Xpecial and Oddone carried Reginald so hard.Relevant:

I agree, Reginald just didn't necessarily shine in that match. And he actually made a few missteps like that teleport bottom.
Though he at least made some good capitalization that paid off in the end from his mistake, like opening up the bottom inhibitor which allowed them to push to the end on their decisive team fight.
I don't think Wildturtle has had a bad game yet. He necessarily doesn't always have a phenomenal game, but he hasn't had a bad game yet. And I think that has been a big reason they've been able to go 12-2 with him. Cause they are never that behind if they do fall behind and can use that to turn it around with a good capitalization on a mistake.
True, Regi did make up for his mistakes with that pressure on bot lane inhib. Still doesn't excuse the fact he could have snowballed other lanes if he didn't miss like 4 gold cards: gold carded minion on bot, red carded katarina with that 3 man skirmish at top, then blue carded Zed, etc. Oddone's great smite steal, along with Turtle's consistency and Xpecial's clutch plays dug TSM out of that hole they were in early-mid game / cemented 1st place.

Global pressence vs poke composition.Shen-Nocturne-Karthus-Varus-Sona vs Jayce-Caitlyn-Janna-Nasus-Lux.
Dafak did I just watch?
Btw, out of curiosity, what were the bans for each team?
But I am European and I don't know if I can stay awake to watch the rest of the NA matches.....
GGU banned out Dyrus' Renekton and Wildturtle's Draven. They were penalized -1 ban because of discussing strategy during pauses in earlier games. Didn't really matter though, Dyrus locked in Shen and that was GG right there.
So Complexity beat Curse and TSM just beat GGU. If TSM can win vs DIG they will secure the #1 spot. Tbh I was expecting Vulcun to best Curse, not Complexity. They had a bit of trouble closing out the game however (some residual inexperience), otherwise solid gameplay from them.
Just realized if Curse loses to Vulcun, TSM will retain their #1 spot, even if DIG beats them (stayed up to try out Phase 2 of the FFXIV: ARR beta, am tired lol).

So with that defeat on Curse's part, TSM and Curse are now tied for first.Exciting.
Granted, TSM still has to face GGU and Dignitas who both just beat Curse so it's not the easiest path for them.
But if TSM keeps their communication up, I don't think they will find it too difficult to win.
Though if Dignitas brings in their game like they did against Curse, it could be a very frightful match between the two of them.
Either way, if TSM wins their match against GGU, that cements their hold on second place.
Indeed, the race between the top 3 teams has become very tight. TSM could very well take 1st place if they're able to beat out GGU/DIG, and CRS loses to VUL (who has proven to be a dangerous team despite being bottom 4). The game between TSM and DIG will certainly be a doozy.

I was think of starting to do ranked more seriously recently but im not sure what to ban as my top banns can any one help out there.Ban Hecarim, that pony will run roughshod through your jungle and snowball his lanes very easily if he's half-way decent.
And as the others have posted, Malphite, Shen, etc.
As for how LCS ended up today, a sweep for coL? Was not expecting that in the least, it seems pr0lly has revitalized his team as Wildturtle is doing for TSM. In TSM's game vs CLG,

I mean it REALLY fucking hurts on Mundo. Why do people look at it like it's a bad thing?Because LoL players don't believe in trying new things. If it's different from the common build, you're a noob who needs to go back to bots.
I remember when (pre) season 3 first started and boots were lowered to 25 ms and champion base ms was raised by 25. I said to myself, there is no reason to start boots on an AD carry unless I plan to go for an early kill, which I didn't. So I sat in base for a bit and decided to stack potions. The entire game I got flamed for not starting boots, "noob graves only buys potions report please", and even though we were winning, they couldn't admit that my potion start wasn't bad, and just said, "Graves only got kills cause you guys are worse than he is." And now stacking pots is fucking standard. At least it was a month or two ago when I still played, I don't know if people still do that cause I stopped playing a while ago.
ok. done ranting
they recently nerfed stacking pots though. now you can only buy 5 at a time (mainly due to how stagnant 9 pots 2 wards really is).
i do remember when people used to go 10 pot morde. back when he was good enough to get a ban from ranked.
anyhow i started playing Zac and he's a pretty fun champ. i seem to have trouble maintaining my hp early though, even after i get the spirit of spectral wrath.
A bit off topic, but this comment reminded me of (very old vid but funny):
The fun starts at 11:08.
Hopefully wrinkles such as miscommunication will be ironed out in the remaining games of LCS, though the loss vs Vulcan didn't seem to hinder TSM's steamrolling of CRS the last couple weeks. I expect DIG to come back strong after disappointing losses with a substitute jungler, so expect great matches between DIG/CRS and TSM/DIG.
As for the NA All-Stars it seems the team will be: Dyrus at top, Saint in the jangle, Scarra mid, and Doublelift/Xpecial for botlane. Pretty much the picks I chose at the start but with the exception of Regi in mid, and Scarra as my second choice.
For EU it will probably be: sOAZ top, Diamondprox jangle, Alex Ich mid, Yellowpete/EDward in bot. Even though Gambit has 4/5 members of the team leading the votes, the rules state only 3 members from the same team with the highest total votes can be chosen for the All-Star roster.

Counters are for people who don't have skill.Which most of General Discussion seems to not have. You'll get a few Plat and Diamond responses here and there, but they don't consist of whining about a certain champion.
I'll admit I'm not that great at the game (Silver 1), but that doesn't make me complain about a certain aspect of a champion that I just got stomped by.
^ True enough, but it's better than the alternative: caving in to the perpetual whining on the forums about the next FOTM. Even worse is when the players who play said champion, give counters/counterplay, yet noone takes the advice to heart or even tries to apply it into their play.
Tbh the crux of Akali's recent successes in her early game was the 9pot/2ward start, not the tweaks to her passives. Funny thing though, Riot has stated that they will be changing it so that one can only start with a limited number of potions. So why the nerfs to her early game, but not champs such as Zed and Riven who can trade/harass just as well or even better than Akali? Because of the QQing on General Discussion from bad bronze/silver players.
Riot needs to balance around the advice of those who play professionally, not the casuals. Speaking of the pros... Voyboy isn't happy with the nerfs to say the least. Maybe once Riot sees that her now abysmal early game will hurt her relevance later on, they'll ask Voyboy for advice as they did with Wickd about Irelia.
