  1. Personally my issue with that sort of thing is that I know, at an equal skill level, things like that would so easily be punished or exploited that it's not worth trying. That Warwick didn't have Smite so he was going around lower than he could have been, and as such getting killed; that could have easily been the other way around considering his sustain exists at all versus Cassiopeia who can only get hers through items. And I'll give you how far ahead you obviously were (because of one of the aforementioned "off-meta" picks (not to mention one that left the game at some point)) but that still could have been better used and were I in a more sentimental mood I would call it disrespectful to the other team in the sense that you're basically saying "I'm so far ahead I don't even need IE or GA I'm getting like a hundred more damage on my ult and almost nothing worth mentioning on my W instead of cementing my lead for sure." Of course, if as you say, everyone was chill about it afterwards or in general, that's cool and more power to all of you. The way I see it is that "off-meta" should refer to champions being played normally but in another position- if you've played 500 games with LeBlanc and decide "yolo I'm taking her bot lane to ruin some carry's day" that's whatever if you build her as you would anyway and either- compensate for lack of your own carry and end the game with a surrender at 20 or otherwise extremely quickly put your carry elsewhere, say, Quinn top or Sivir mid If you don't, any organized team will plan against that and beat you eventually or exploit whatever weakness you've stuck yourself with in general. In a similar vein, there's the whole lane-swapping thing- if the opposing mid is someone you're concerned about, or you picked yours first and then they grabbed Kassadin or something, put your duo lane mid and ruin his day or force 1v2 lanes elsewhere to push a turret and alleviate an enemy advantage. That's also non-meta because the meta is currently defined as solo top, solo mid, jungle, and duo bot. If you want two mages bot and a carry solo lane man you do your thing so long as you've got a plan for if it doesn't work out as... well, planned. On the flip side and things I would consider essentially trolling, please do not play cassiopeia adc, or sion support, or jarvan support, annie/karthus/ezreal jungle (trust me, i speak from experience on every single one of those examples) or any of that unless your whole team is aware and doesn't mind, or you have some overwhelming advantage from the get go, be it in terms of skill or otherwise. And don't get me wrong, I've played with things like Vayne with support Anivia and actually that might have been my best Vayne game (not that there's many to compare it to) so you can ditch that relatively unnecessary "meta sheep" comment there because they've done worse things than that and won games with it. I've seen an AD Gragas from Tony, an AD (spell vamp??) Ahri from Inuki, and Vega with "support" Udyr whose end build was 3x BT, IE, boots2 and Sword of the Divine and he had the most kills in the game. That doesn't mean I'd readily hop on the bandwagon in champion select with four strangers I've never seen before, but maybe that's just because I don't know how to have fun and LoL is a very serious game. Enough reason for you, Roo? In any case, because this is the screenshot thread and not "Ikaru goes on a rant about things that bother him" here's a quinn screenshot from LoLking the end
  2. pretty sure he just implied LeBlanc wasn't the issue for him and knowing LeBlanc that means he's talking about the rest of his team- you know, the super ABSOLUTELY USELESS squishy Teemo and Varus bot lane both of which had deaths in the double digits while the opposing LeBlanc and Jinx both had 14 kills, and as if that wasn't enough carry hate, their Udyr was also 8/5 Can't stand when people present a counter out of context and after the fact for the sake of telling someone what they should have done
  3. http://illusionrealm.tumblr.com/tagged/always_reblog_Quinn i need more ;-; Honorable mentions include Sona and Irelia

    Mayby's new location

    Every pokemon will eventually be available one way or another- Magby was moved because it was too good for how soon you got it, much like a few other things that are now harder to get or (currently) removed
  5. I heard things were broken or otherwise wonky but I mean I'm not about to test that theory That feel when LegenDarius13
  6. my point was that fighting every 18 seconds is unrealistic because if you're ahead you keep killing them (and death timers are longer than 18 seconds even before the mid-game) and if you're behind you're likely unable to afford constant confrontations like that. It's overkill.
  7. somewhere, kids are circling around him chanting "can you feel it, Mr. Krabs?" as he realises he's getting old but then again 17 isn't too bad I guess said the 21-year-old so happy birthday crus <3
  8. In theory it's as simple as renaming the music you want to one of the existing file names, and switch them.
  9. before it loaded all I saw was "jinxface.jpeg" and was scared but that's actually an okay picture
  10. Oh, yeah, to be honest I expected him to end up nerfed in this patch, so the buffs were a surprise. Isn't his ult 18 seconds with 40% CDR though? And he would have to have a valid ult target every 18 seconds regardless. It's not practical at all.
  11. I'll eat my hat the day Anivia gets nerfed without any significant buffs, if that's what you were referring to
  12. >not Will Smith - Just the Two of Us disappointed.
  13. THE ANIVIA BUFFS ARE FINALLY HERE LEGGO TONY
  14. worst 1000th win ever but i mean i guess we won or something i don't know it's really underwhelming and i'm getting tired of my lane opponent always being an issue in every game but you know i'm over it except i'm not except whatever idk
  15. completely necessary less lengthy and emotional status update

  16. Ninja'd by Ame, disregard that stuff More on Fern- keep in mind that he directly implied he doesn't have Noel's badge, so yes, it's entirely possible he got through the mountain before it was locked down. Especially so if he moves at the typical scumbag rival pace.
  17. Well, I haven't played this myself, but I saw it on tumblr this morning and thought it seemed really cool
  18. against my better judgment and despite not feeling so well i decided to finish kanon and i'm going to silently weep myself back to sleep now and probably wake up still feeling bad aren't run-on sentences fun

  19. I fail to understand what's so hard about not saying anything if you aren't contributing to the topic at least constructively.
  20. ^ the removed theme in question, literally the last thing on her Remixes playlist so it's definitely an old one. ^ The new themes that replace the first one, and/or have been reordered- for anyone unsure of what tracks they actually are. I like that first one, but then again I like anything given enough time; I think the new themes definitely do fit their intended use a lot better. I imagine if it'd been this way from the start it wouldn't have even been a question. Personally I think I'll get used to it. If you wanted, you could probably fit in the first thing elsewhere for the sake of keeping it in somewhere. Worst case scenario, rename it and keep it in the jukebox so people can use it if they wanted.
  21. someone say something about stressful normal games? ._.;
  22. TIL a butt (i.e. "buttload") is an actual unit of measurement
