Don't they do FotM balancing for WoW though?

Uhmmm, that's not too alarming of a cause, but yesterday when Cull had some computer/connection problems at the very beginning of a (successful) game, our entire TeamSpeak channel was possessed by Satan or, to be less melodramatic, invaded with some weird, all-going-by-the-same-name-bots, who kept switching channels, leading to cascade of "SWITCHCHANNELNEWPLAYERSWITCHCHANNELLINKENGAGESWITCHCHANNELSWITCHCHANNELSWITCHCHANNELSWITCHCHANNELNEWPLAYERNEWPLAYER".
They were gone after a while, but I don't know what was the cause because I turned off Teamspeak for about 5 minutes to prevent further brain damage.
What the hell was that and how can we prevent this from happening?

register your accounts on teamspeak, and make some channels to be password protected, that stops bots or spammers from joining the channel.

I know anyone registered on the ts server can kick the bots- I had to do that a week or two ago.

You can ip ban as well, if you are an admin.

New Login queue makes me happy, though the new chat interface feels weird right now.

The new interface needs more work. Opening up your friends list now covers up all of the menu scroll bars, so you have to close it to see the full list of champs, some of the stuff in the store, and so on. Also, notifications pop up and cover up your friends list too...
Really unsure how they could make such a clumsy error on this. I normally have my friends list open 100% of the time, and now I have to open and close it constantly as I move around the menu. Not your best work, Riot.
I do like some of the other changes. Increasing XP/IP for a long custom game match in particular is a nice touch (our 60 minute game yesterday gave me exactly 42 IP for a loss, which was a real kick in the nuts). You also get virtually nothing now for an all-bots game, so it looks like an end to the "IP Farm" games which I saw all the time on the Custom game list. Looking forward to the Coop vs AI feature when it gets unlocked later this week, although there's a very high chance that will also be underwhelming.

How was youtube night? And did you deliberately choose to schedule the youtube game for the day when patches usually arrive?

Wow, just realized that, what a major design flaw  How can you create an interface and not test it properly ? Did really nobody notice that you can't use the scroll bars anymore ?
Sometimes I really wonder if part of Riot consists of three people in a basement...
