So servers are offline as well as the website...This is actually getting ridiculous.

The Internet is a spoiler machine. There are so many inadvertent ways to have things spoiled for you. Where forums are concerned...I kind of feel like if someone isn't smart enough to read the topic of a post and realize they are taking a calculated risk of having things spoiled for them if they continue, then I don't have much sympathy for them. Especially since I could avoid that forum post entirely, log on Facebook and accidentally read someone's status: "OMGZZ FREDDIE

Yikes! Ahem, so any of you who have purchased the expansion, do you consider it full price material if I'm so so on Civ V?

Not sure what you are talking about Pacov. That ARAB game was da best!!! Hue hue I can't speak for the Summoner's Rift game, but I do think that certain roles should probably go to the most experienced. Someone who can really do well at middle can set the pace of the whole game by freeing themselves up for dragon control/roaming top or bottom.

Stuck on this big patch...Will be logging in soon.

I know that some people were doing it so they could stream really low ELO play and show off how they climb their way up. You're right though, that it would be ridiculously time consuming to get it low. I don't see how they wouldn't get a time penalty, but even if they didn't it would still take quite awhile. I managed to get one Olaf game in yesterday on PBE, since the servers were pooched. I must have been queued in low ELO since there were no junglers, so I was duo t

Hmm, I didn't mean to imply Amumu was bad by any means, he is just vulnerable in his own jungle, especially against someone like a Lee Sin. His pre-6 ganks aren't especially powerful either if you miss your bandage toss. He lacks any movement speed buff, but compensates with tankyness. Stonewall actually ranks him above Warwick and in the latter part of the Tier 1 group. His ult is fantastic, especially with the recent CD buff and really deadly in an AOE comp.

Who is your essence and what does it do?

I really sucked top, so I apologize for that. Don't see a lot of Irelia top anymore, so I was unprepared. I will be working hard on improving, particularly on safely farming, while also not pushing too much. When it comes down to it, they obviously had far more experience with Irelia, than I did with Olaf. I would have gone Renekton if I had last pick. Ah well, I will learn from this. It might be more beneficial to just improve as a team without playing ranked for a bit. I don't think

Haha love the 100% win rate AD Orianna. I'll give WW a try as well, assuming he isn't banned or picked as a jungler. I find it a little hard to find the time to properly practice with lots of champs. My main goal is to play a few different champs that perform well, despite efforts to counterpick. I have to say, pretty impressed by this!

Cool stats Pacov! Is this a sort of donate what you want service? I'm not too familiar with ELObuff. I do like making myself pro by winning custom games :p Also, some late thoughts on last game night: Top is something I will work on and fully admit to not being great at right now. I am more comfortable as a ranged AD bot at the moment, if I'm not supporting. I'm going to focus on Olaf for right now and diversify from there. I find Olaf pretty forgiving and adds a l

I build Shen something like this: Doran's Shield/boots 3 pots, Heart of Gold, Merc treads, Aegis, Wit's End(synergizes with passive), Randuin's, Force of Nature. You could throw a frozen mallet/exchange Randuin's for Warmog's if preferred.

@Thunder: I think it is definitely between Q and W for prioritizing. I spec W first purely for the passive dmg gain and the fact that I'm not the best at landing a good Q. I may have to rethink this. Even putting Q to Lvl 2 early gives you a nice bump in the bad initial base dmg. Appreciate the input. @Pacov: I agree that as things are right now, things probably aren't sustainable for team nights. My suggestion would be to have Tuesday as a "whoever is available to queue toget

Just wanted to comment a bit on last night and team nights in general. First off, apologies for any bad play on my part. The second and third games, I lost control of my character/had disconnect issues several times, which is always very frustrating. I did see a message on the client saying there were lag issues last night as well, so luckily I don't think it was personal Internet issues. Secondly, I wanted to say that even though last nights games were pretty rough and we

Many apologies! It was our big Fall Launch in Canada for television and we weren't sure if we were getting a sponsored party until the very last minute. Thursday I will be 100% ready to go. I'm a big fan of our team nights and I really hated to cancel.

i have cancel. really really sorry!

Chrome is more popular than Firefox AND IE? I'm really behind the times! Appreciate the post.

Balefire elemental. Hmmm...I see we have some Wheel of Time fans at Stardock :)

I probably could have gotten away with Mejai's on Taric in our pubstomp games last night. At that point, it really doesn't matter very much what you itemize. In a close game, I don't think I would buy such a selfish item for a support. You add so much more to your team with Aegis, Frozen Heart, Reverie or other aura items.

I was still planning on playing at that time. Having an alternate is pretty key though, as I'm sure things will come up for 1 person here and there and that pretty much kills the team play.

How has your connectivity been? There is a huge backlash against the game on review sites (3.6/10 on userscore metacritic currently). May be too early for this, but how is the story/lore?

I want to be excited about this, but I am having trouble. That said, I haven't played the beta. There's just so much D3 hate out there! Blah blah Paths of Exile, blah blah Torchlight 2. I doubt I would really use the Auction House so that's a non-issue for me. Also don't care about always being online all the time. Isn't everyone? I was a huge fan of Diablo 1, 2, so why not 3? Help me out fans! Edit: Pacov, I found this which says that the installer will unlock at

Cool little client! I played a quick game of dominion and found my ELO was just under 1600 for that mode, so that's kinda cool. Have yet to use for SR norms. Looking forward to our games tonight! I FINALLY figured out all my vent issues for reals this time, so no distractions there for me, unlike when I died in the first two minutes :S We need some kind of rallying cry, unless we are too chill for that. har har

My preferred roles are probably Ranged AD>Support>Jungle>Top>Mid, although I'm not going to pick anything that throws off everyone else. That's why I took mid. I didn't do a great job, but I don't think I was terrible either. I should have been more aggressive early, but I really didn't want to get ganked by Ali, which I did about 3 or 4 times. Plus I was frazzled after my instadeath from the invasion. Then I couldn't really get any ganks, because my lane w
