I kinda don't understand the problem of champions that by their very existence encourage a different style of game. If you have to play a passive, tower-hugging game and spend money to counter an Evelynn or Shaco, why is it such a big deal when you don't see them in every game?
It's as if in StarCraft the only matchup you'd be able to play out is Zerg vs Zerg, which would quickly drive you insane (mirror matches in the original StarCraft are... bizarre). I mean, they could leave Eve alone and force players to have a different game once in a while.
It's not like she was picked at Dreamhack even once.

Heh, in one of our premades we faced off against the infamous "Cruise Missile" Yi controlled by Pendragon. He'd score more kills than he would lose lives, and his team would stomp us.
Who was that BTW?

I just think it's funny they took like 6 months to finally fix that nidalee bug where the throws her spears backwards. It was always humorous to watch streams of Hotshot or TreeEskimo and hear them go "I would have killed that guy and not died if it wasn't for that @#$& bug!" 
It must have been one big shield bug as well- like every champ in their patch notes has something being fixed related to shields.

Who was that BTW? Riot Travis, some guy from the art department according to google. Didn't really believe at first, but then he had almost zero ping. The enemy Jarvan was a bit unlucky, he was trolling all game at the pool in a game against a Riot employee. He promised to get that Jarvan banned
Almost broke 1400 ELO, but then two games in a row where we were leading by a good amount, but then the enemy team made a comeback. Ranked is starting to get really fun, lots more teamwork at these levels. Just the occasional troll in the mix here and there.

Builds in Starcraft do the same thing. In SCII, every TvZ when they play on a smaller map must be ready to prepare for a 2 Rax poke and bunker rush. Its an integral part of the match up because if Zerg to put all its build power into economy, Terran loses.

Hmm that plus the fact that Sk just added gamed!de's bottom lane to their lineup should make tomorrow's go4lol worth watching. If the European servers are working that is...

SK now has an official in game captain in WetDream(I think right guy) now, which should help a lot. And like Enoch said, gamed.de bot's lane AND WetDream's awesomeness. OK
