I started off by duo-queuing with Piotr (who doesn't have a 30 level account yet himself) and some of the 30 level friends I made on the EU server, yes. Though now my normal Elo seems to have gotten to a point where a solo top lane isn't completely oblivious and junglers are more common.
Really though, when you are trying to jungle with Alistar at summoner level 2-3 when your Armor is barely above the original value, you probably want someone with you to make sure you get a good leash. Or start Cloth + 5 pots. Or go laning before you start jungling, which might be the best alternative for low level games.

Here's a good video with advice on AD positioning during teamfights, one of the hardest skills in the game imo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NxlLE5S34Q

It's Sullla's favorite game mode! And it's going to be legalized!
Riot Brackhar Wrote:Hey Dudes!
A little over a month ago, a number of developers and I participated in Riot's first ever Thunderdome; a periodic, companywide event aimed at allowing developers to work on whatever they want. My team set out to make the Proving Grounds, our basic tutorial map, playable as full on 5v5. This is something I've wanted to do ever since I originally worked on the map, and with the help of some other devs (and a good bit of caffeine) we managed to get everything up and running. Everyone was pretty happy with how the effort turned out, and with the upcoming removal of Winter Summoner's Rift we saw an opportunity to sneak the new map out by repurposing the same UI hooks.
In the next patch, the Proving Grounds map will be selectable in custom games. While we***8217;ve been playtesting it internally as All Random (and lovin' it) for quite some time now, all the pick options will be available- Blind Pick, Draft, and All Random- because we're excited to see what variation you enjoy the most. We'd love to hear any feedback that you may have, as both RiotNome and myself will be providing support post release. Check it out and let us know what you think!
Fellow Rioters who helped me sneak this out:

chunkface
Drevarius
Kilmourz
RiotNome
Ponts

Riot Taco Storm
RiotTroyzilla

What a brilliant idea. The ingenuity of those Riot folks continues to amaze. No-one else had ever thought of doing such a thing.
And I'm sad that Winter SR is going to be removed

So we're going to lose summoner's rift with a winter skin and in return get summoner's rift with a proving ground skin?
That is so genius!

It should have been done about a year ago. They have the map, might as well use it. Also, remake the damn UI already. You have three skins for Summoner's Rift. There is absolutely no reason not to have all three selectable at all times. No more BS about how it takes up too much bandwidth please.

I mean the sad thing is that it isn't actually Riot that's doing this- it's a couple people in their "free work" realizing it should have been done long ago and getting it done on their own.
If people want to test it out it's on the PBE right now. Aparently they did a pretty nice job customizing the map to fit the rules of ARAM, changing what items, preventing you from getting any benefit from leaving the middle to go heal (you can't heal or buy once you leave base) and several other things apparently.

Did anyone watch MLG Anaheim? Any games that were good? I wasn't able to see any of the games.
Edit: Found interesting site on Stats for the event. https://elobuff.com/events/2012-mlg-anaheim
