I was wondering why that Darius was so insistent on taking Teleport last night...

Truth be told this is hilarious but I doubt you'd find much use for it in game, especially if they know about the bug

So the newest awesome bug is that if you dc, when you come back you can't move. Nothing fixes it, not reboots, multiple reconnects, nothing, if your team happens to survive for 20 some minutes, you will eventually be able to move, not that it will really matter. I'm not sure if it always happens, but it's happened to me and other ppl in my games.

Riot is going downhill. They are spending way too much time pumping out new characters and rebuilding old ones and apparently not enough quality assurance testing. I'm not clear what makes them think that constantly changing your characters makes the game play interesting. It just makes it annoying and flavor of the weekish.

So now I will take a break. It's not enjoyable anymore, even when I win. The afk's and leavers every other game, listening to people bitch the entire game (i'm guilty of it too), the single "you can only do it this way" mentality that the competative play has brought to the table and just simply the bad attitude of 90% of the playerbase has gotten to be too much. I realized I have all these other games I could be playing. Even the wife wonders why I play this game because all it does it put me in a bad mood.

I really do wish Riot would just sit down, smack all their engineers and devs in the face and fix up their engine and code, or better yet start work on a new platform as the current game client has plenty of weird net issues, and the Adobe AIR client is one of the dumbest things I've had to deal with for a game of this magnitude (albeit they did start out small, but they've gotten plenty big, fix up your damn client).

This game's player base is definitely frustrating at times. Just had a game where we were winning into the late game (I was Naut and punishing them every time one of them was even slightly out of position). Then our Ryze starts going on about how Ahri was trolling him so he was not going to play anymore. Except she wasn't. Que them winning the next teamfight, taking baron, and that's all she wrote. A 40 minute game down the drain because one player acted like a spoiled brat.

This kinda thing is more predominant nowadays thanks to the popularity of LOL in general. The worst thing is someone deciding to troll the game. There was this Draven last night who claimed he was back dooring and only ended up suicide bombing the bot lane. 40 mins in and he concedes that he was trolling and he apparently plays only one game a week and he makes sure that the team he plays with, loses. So there. It's a 45-50 min game in general which is almost an hour and 2 such games means almost a 2 hour loss because some idiot isn't happy with his life. It's frustrating realizing that the only 2 hour playtime u manage to squeeze in after work turns out to be this annoying.

I need to calm down and get a life. I think i should switch to single player games and leave this genre for a while. After the last game when my team surrendered when we were leading 15 v their 13 bcos they thought that the enemy Lee Sin was fed, I just gave up and quit the game. I think my backlog of single player games is going to get my attention in the up-coming days. Portal 2 is fun BTW.

Why I don't play solo at all. Except ARAM where you just kinda expect that thing (still frustrating).

Proving grounds is still epic and has very very few ragers or trolls and even if there are the game only lasts 20 minutes had a group of 8 of us running them over and over last night with some really fun games. On a side note, I think carrying with Udyr is nearly impossible unless you have an epic early game and get massively ahead.

Thought 2: Xin is pretty beast right now and I don't think they've tweaked him enough to slow that down. Jungling is super super safe with 1 point in w but he actually has pretty sweet level 2 ganks with 1 point in q and 1 point in e. The q does stupid amounts of damage right now (I love the scaling) and if you e + 2 qs on mid you will blow their flash and come back in a minute for a kill (unless they play super safe). I really like ssome combination of Lantern + merc treatds (core), Hexdrinker, wit's end, phage, Heart of Gold and Aegis on him. Unless you spam e you simply won't run out of mana though his clear times are slow enough that you need a gank or two to succeeed

That said Istill think nocture is a pretty beast jungler who ganks well and farms quickly. In pub games there's nothing more fun than a spectral horse with boots 5 + ghostblade but Nocturne seems more useful in most teamfights.

For sure, those games last night were a blast. I met that group (Cyrah, Alecks, and co.) through a friend (and he met them randomly), they're extremely friendly/laid back and enjoy a good game more than winning. Had a ton of fun playing with/against them in ARAM last night. One or two of those games (the game where we had zero poke) I couldn't believe we won. Was great to get Fenix and NV to join in as well, that last game was great.

More ARAM must be played!!!!

I dunno if he was distraught for not being in our party (when we only had 6 and he was the odd man out) or if he was having connection issues but yeah, we suddenly started steamrolling and I had no clue why. It had to be either that or my previously inept Nasus skills suddenly skyrocketed...

And LoL at getting Nasus (who I never played) twice in a row followed by NV getting Tryndamere twice in a row. I own nearly 50 champs now plus the the freebies, no clue how many he has but those odds are ridiculous.

it may be 'random', but they know who you own, they know who you play... maybe they are trying to get you hooked on a new champ so you buy it. i wonder if anyone else notices this phenomenon.

I already owned Nasus so in my experience at least doesn't show that. I think it's truly random and we both just lucked out (or whatever you wanna call it).

Only "free champs" I've had yet playing ARAM was J4 two weeks ago and Monkey King last week.

I will say, if they ever make an ARAM normal mode I think they'd need to make every champion available so people don't create new accounts and only go with great ARAM champs, but that'd never happen.

ah yeah, my comment makes no sense. you are still limited to the champs you have purchased and the weekly rotation. i agree they should make all champs avail for that mode. like you said, players will just make ARAM accounts and unlock only the good ARAM chars.

I had a terrible day yesterday. Fed two games in a row as Jayce. Completely unprecedented.

As it turns out, Jayce doesn't do any damage to Udyr. At all.

I played Jayce yesterday for my win of the day bot game and wasn't terribly impressed. I've yet to see him used to any good extent but he seems to attempt the role of "jack of all trades" and is the master of none.

I don't think so. There are some champs I've played more than others in ARAM (Mummy and Blitz notably) but that seems to be more because people dodged the other games and I traded for mummy a couple times because someone threatened to dodge if he had to play mummy.

Worse comp than other team? Dodge

Don't have a champ you like? dodge (this one really confuses me because I like playing new to me champs in ARAM). -- I got my first game with Fiora in like this... dear god she does a lot of damage with just base stats + skills.

Eh Darius can lane against Udyr decently. And top Udyr isn't all that invincible or a brick early on, there are a few champs that can put on serious early pressure.

I hate jungle Udyr since the only time he's really "weak" he's tucked away in the fog of war farming it up

Next champion looks to be the anti-Leona. Diana, another armor-wearing female knight, this time focused on the moon instead of the sun. I'm guessing she's a relative of Leona or something.

Link
Diana, the Scorn of the Moon
Not all creatures of the night are the sort that lurk in the shadows. A select few leap headlong into the fray, leaving enemies begging for sunshine. Shunned by the people of the sun, Diana turned in isolation to the cold power of the moon’s glow. She hurls herself into the heat of the fight, wielding her crescent blade and unleashing lunar energy with merciless ferocity. If you’re awed by the darkness of the night, but never one to hide in the shadows, you’re sure to be drawn to this knight of the moon and her relentless pursuit of vengeance.

Why is she the scorn of the moon if she supposedly uses its powers? Seems like she should be the Scorn of the Sun if anything.
