ELO hell exists.

It's on 2500 ELO.

Not even Hotshot managed to get there yet.

Wow, seems like Riot is handing out quite severe punishment for breaking rules. Another guy was banned for 33 years and Pendragon confirmed it



Quote of the day:

look on the bright side, you'll be unbanned just in time for the magma chamber release!

I have to leave early tonight, so I'm starting the Tuesday night YouTube thing early as well. Starting... right about now, actually. A Euro-friendly time, for once!

LoL is full of idiots, gotta just deal with it.

[Enoch]

Just remember it is a game that you are playing to have fun.

Also although a lot of people that play LoL are idiots the community did vote to put pink Taric on sale so there are some sensible players out there.

Leona mechanics preview:

Leona does this by providing a low-cooldown, low-duration, single-target stun with a skillshot gap-closer to start. After she closes the gap to the enemy, she’ll be performing regular single-target stuns that really disrupt the fight or peel off a target from an ally once a fight has begun. Additionally, she has a defensive stance that allows her to soak up punishment pretty effectively and also discharges a wave of sunlight outward that causes significant damage. This mechanic acts as a sort of “soft taunt” that causes her to have some threat when she’s about to unleash a big chunk of damage, and makes her an attractive target.

Finally, her passive, Sunlight, causes all of Leona’s spells to debuff the target, causing the next attack from an ally to do additional damage. This really encourages Leona to mark high-priority targets and let her set up opportunities for her teammates. Her power increases with the length of the fight, a common tank trait (like Singed’s Poison Trail or Amumu’s Despair, for example).

Edit: RIot have just said they are splitting the European server so us Euro players may actually be able to get a game one day! http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/...u2-map.jpg Shows the split.

[Jowy]

It's split to: countries who don't know a lick of English, and to countries who do know but refuse to use it. With the exception of the UK.

[Sullla]

With the exception of Scandinavia, that map is eerily reminiscent of the Cold War...

Who actually won the second Realmsbeyond vs The Buttonmasherz match?
I was only able to watch the first one on own3d today and the video stops once you agree on a rematch.

We didn't play a second game; Gerry said he wasn't able to get enough of his friends together. He also told me today in an email that that "wasn't his team" and was instead a collection of random players. Don't know if that's true or not, he's the one who messaged me and asked for a game in the first place, but whatever. I think Gerry was rather frustrated by the fact that he was 0/6 in the game and didn't play that effectively (his Xin was wildly out of position much of the time).

Well who knows, we'll see what happens if we play again. We didn't have our full team either; many thanks to Sire Bruce for joining us, but hopefully we can have Speaker if we play another game.

And thanks for not raging too hard for my early screw-ups. My death when I was warding dragon was really stupid. And the first 2 baron plays were bad by both teams. We were lucky those exchanges ended up working out for us. Then our organization made the rest of the comeback a lot of fun!
