I'm ok with the idea of having one night be a bit more open (ARAM, whatever) and the other being more team based (Summoner's). I understand the whole I don't want to not include everyone, but I don't think just playing ARAM is a good solution either.
I hear you Pacov on the ARAM. I was dealing with a very upset friend in the game I was playing a sub par Alistar. Too much drama lol. Some of the games were fun though. I end up supporting a lot even though it is supposed to be random. I didn't think it could be much more thankless, but I was wrong. I suggest we do more in-house Summoners Rift on Thursday. I think I need a break from ARAM personally.
Haha that voidling stealing the penta kill is priceless. (Peterkill)
The 5v5 inhouse is nice. It was cool to play different people top. I may have to give Jayce a try after that seeing all the dmg he does. Hadn't seen him top before, but he can really abuse the meta once you coordinate your transformations. That melee bonus defense is a little much in my opinion. It was tough to harass him effectively, especially with that huge knockback. As for balancing teams, I totally agree this needs to be a priority. I wouldn't want to play with us if I e
I'm happy to do team ranked again. I'd also like to point out that our ELO went up to 1214 for our old team somehow. Also would duo ranked with people.
The Janna one would actually be pretty hard to recreate on purpose, so I'm glad we were able to record that. I think the world needs to see more AD Karma.

Thanks Stuie_ for your help! [quote who="jackswift85" reply="16" id="3196430"]Unless you have to kill tough undead things, then you're up poop creek without a paddle.[/quote] Very true...
Picked this game up during the Steam sale and haven't regretted it, except for when there is an elite Fire Elemental right next to my capital :p A few questions for you smart people: -I bought the DLC with it, but don't see it in my steam library. Is it automatically integrated into the game? (I haven't bought DLC before) -Is there a breakdown of prereqs for buildings somewhere? I can't seem to right click them for more info like I can other things.
I was speaking more for general interest than confirming what The Man (Riot) thinks. Obviously Riot has the freedom to pick which pronunciation they want and we are free to mock those that don't follow it, ahem Kay-lee.
In the spirit of Dark Knight: Why so Darius? According to this 2 seconds of research I did, you can pronounce it Dare -E-Us, something that sounds the same as that or Da -Rye- Us: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=darius
Servers crapped out temporarily, but I seemed to have logged on successfully now.
I'm back in action! Looking forward to some games tonight. I promise to hit no to every surrender :p
Love that you are getting some views! Pretty sure the new fan will arrive tomorrow, so I should be back in business soon! I don't actually have any good computer stores near me and if I want specific parts, I either have to travel quite some distance or get them shipped. Super lame I know.
CPU fan gave up the ghost so I may be out of commission for awhile :( Hoping the new one arrives by Thursday so I don't miss out on both game nights. Of course this had to happen after I bought Crusader Kings II and Warlock on the steam sale...
Another HOG nerf? That's just stupid. Don't really get why that's needed. Same goes for Philospher's. I guess the logic is probably to nerf sustain bruisers get from it, but it also hurts junglers and support. Urgot and Malphite nerfs were pretty much expected, with the recent tournament play. I thought this was pretty interesting (Malzahar mechanics improvements, Peter should be thrilled): <a href="http://www.reignofgaming.net/redtracker/topic/72776-go
[quote who="KrdaxDrkrun" reply="1170" id="3188790"]I've had an ARAM game last for 65 minutes, our AD carries would slay each other, and the remaining champs would ace each other every time. It was the funniest game I've played.[/quote] Wow 65 min? That sounds hilarious for sure! Possibly exhausting as well. We had a Veigar pentakill and a double ace in the game I played. Truly outrageous.
Sounds cool Pacov! I expect us to go viral :p Random thoughts: -Kind of thinking of running ionic spark on MF for double up lightning madness sometime... -Had a 45 minute ARAM game victory. Anyone else have one this long before? -I'm interested to know where the term"Empire" came from. I realize it means something like going "all in". Not sure if there is some reference I should be picking up on.
To be fair, we had a very strong harass/poke team AND had a ranged AD carry, unlike the first team I had in ARAM when I was blitz. Can't believe that Yi was griefing me for not doing enough grabs...Alpha striking over and over again is really hard right? I feel like range trumps everything in ARAM. Even a team with a lot of CC and not a lot of range can do well earlier on, but once an AD carry gets their items, it is pretty tough to beat them, unless there are zero peelers. Barrie
Anyone going to be on tonight?
I would have preferred a mana adjustment on E for Lux. I guess the idea is that it isn't as punishing if you miss a Q now. The change on the ult is a nice bonus as well as the mana per 5 increase. The Janna nerfs are excessive imo. The changes to W are brutal and nerf her early and late game. Not to mention the additional 30 seconds on her ult at lvl 1... I hate Soraka so I have no problem with her nerfs, but at this point, Riot might as well delete all the old support cha
I definitely was missing things from other people and generally distracted by vent. We seemed less organized and less focused than usual. I'm not really sure what the solution is, but I think if you aren't going to be using vent to coordinate with the team, then better to not use it at all in the case of more competitive style games. Otherwise it is disruptive and negatively affects the people who are trying to use it to improve.
Unfortunately, I will be unable to make it out for game night tomorrow night. Off to the cottage for Canada Day weekend!
Just a heads up, I have a 20min queue right now, so if you are planning on playing with us tonight, you should make sure to log on well in advance.
Things seem to be calming down server side, so that's good. Looking forward to some games tonight! I've been guilty of the wanting to surrender sooner than later thing. I think it is important to think that other people may have had some success in the game and want an opportunity to try and build off that. I will personally try and consider that more.
