  1. I actually did have Full Metal Jayce. Only skin above 975 that I legit bought. (the rest were gifts or mystery skins.)
  2. "Hey guys look, I have more money than you!" On a more serious note, giving bot lane Jayce a roll and liking the results. My team sans Viktor was a heavy backpack, but we all started pitching in by buying some extra wards that allowed us to make some picks and baits. The other team never really clued in that we were just looking for the picks until we started knocking on the gates to their base. Then Viktor and I were able to put aside our differences regarding the Glorious Evolution and go full carry mode ripping right through them all.
  3. So Inven recently did an interview with the winners of last season's World Championship winners (Samsung White, a now-defunct team) and (among other things) the champs did reveal which champs they wished for to get the Samsung White skins. So, without further ado: SSW Kassadin SSW Rengar SSW Talon SSW Twitch SSW Thresh It's very likely that the skins will just be named "SSW" similar to previous Worlds skins - inclusion of the Samsung brand into the name would probably be a bit of an issue. Skins are expected on the PBE next week. EDIT: The skins have been announced and there will be Singed instead of Kassadin.
  4. Oh god. I got JV'd by a Dedede today at the tourney. Thank god I won the set, but man, Dedede is scary to play against if he's in good hands. The guy edgeguards like a mofo and is such a big obstacle to get around...
  5. Finished 10th in that Sm4sh tourney. Was a casual tournament so nothing too awesome but top 10 finish won me an amiibo. Met some cool people here too. It was a good day

      Nice! I need to get out to one of those again.

      It would have been worse if you lost TO an Amiibo. Anyone heard of an Amiibo finishing at a tournament at third place?

  6. I saw that as well. I understand that those instances have been fixed on the PBE, if not live as well.
  7. Like most dashes, only displacements and Veigar's Event Horizon can stop a Distortion. They will be snared afterward however. There are also a set of dashes that render the champ completely immune to CC during the dash though. Hecarim: Onslaught of Shadows Jarvan IV: Cataclysm Malphite: Unstoppable Force Nocturne: Paranoia Sion: Unstoppable Onslaught Vi: Assault and Battery Xin Zhao: Audacious Charge
  8. 4 in a row on the 'Dorf. I'm ready for tomorrow!

      Dude, he's such a boss.

  9. Unicorns Of Love fans: PowerOfEvil just put out a mid lane Varus guide on lolking. http://www.lolking.net/guides/341508

  10. Yeah, take W at level 2 vs leblanc (Max it last though) and rush Chalice. You can't stop her dash, even if you share her, but it'll stop her return which allows you to get whacks in. LeBlanc players usually telegraph when they're going to Attack you, so as soon as she sends her Sigil your way, drop the shield and let her know you're not havin that shit. Post-6 you need to be patient. You need to be passive and do your best not to get baited by her "fake" advances and anticipate when she will legit allin. This will make or beak the lane, as once summoner spells are factored in, you will win if you hit the snare (assuming you're running Barrier like you should be). Another tactic you can use is buy wards and shove the daylights out of the lane. Once you have the sides warded then just push her to her tower (LeBlanc is bad at farming under tower). If you get ganked that's a bonus because you'll almost always see them coming with the wards you placed, and you relieve some pressure elsewhere. Oh, and LeBlanc isn't great in teamfights unless she gets a flank. Teamfights is where Lux destroys. So the old passively-farm-to-late strat can work as well.
  11. ...uh oh. Lego relaunched Bionicle. RIP my wallet, RIP my life.

  12. Hoo boy. Sure ain't tilting anymore that's for sure.
  13. Cloud 9's League of Legends team has undergone their first roster change in two years...Hai has retired and has become Cloud 9's Chief Gaming Officer (this expands across the entire organization, not just LoL). Replacement has yet to be announced, but frontrunners are believed to be Bischu and Pekin Woof

      Why would they EVER take him.

  14. Switching mains three days before a tournament usually isn't a good idea, but I've been doing way better with Ganondorf...

      Good luck. You're going to run into at least one Yoshi or Sheik. Ganon loses to them hard. He's useable against Rosa though with good spacing (Spartan Kick the Luma)

      Take me with yoooouuuuu~

  15. Well hard reset changes or not, you can still kite the monsters around with your spells.
  16. It is very possible to jungle with Vel'Koz, I actually did a game (and didn't do too badly despite losing). Just gotta make sure that you start frog > blue buff > wolves > b for a Ranger's Trailblazer, and (at least a little bit) leash the monsters as best you can without them hard-resetting. Hard resetting is where they just run back and heal up completely, ignoring all your damage; this happens on the 10th time they try to back after being too far away from their camp; before then any damage will turn them back and have them come after you. Thus leashing the jungle is an art and definitely takes practice, but ranged junglers can do this to prevent a lot of damage in the jungle when they do it right. This video by Kikis, jungler for the Unicorns of Love, has a pretty solid demonstration of leashing the jungle and although it's Twisted Fate being used in the video, it's possible to carry some of these kiting mechanics over to Vel'Koz.
  17. Fun fact: The next time pro Melee players Leffen and Mang0 are against each other in tournament play will make Super Smash Bros. Melee the third game in which players from Team SoloMid have faced players from the Cloud 9 esports organization. The first two were League of Legends and Hearthstone.

      Oh shit, sorry hukuna. lol.

      Anyway, C9 has six players in competitive Hearthstone. The most notable is Kolento; he's that Ukrainian guy that pioneered the Miracle Rogue deck.

    3. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      Not sure what happened there lol. But yea trust me I know Kolento, but I know him because he was know for the first facehunter deck as well if you recall.

    4. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      Or one of the first... not sure if THE actual first one but his version of it was very strong for a long time.

  18. Fun fact: The next time pro Melee players Mang0 and Leffen are against each other in tournament play will make Super Smash Bros. Melee the third game in which players from TSM have faced players from the Cloud 9 esports organization. The first two were League of Legends and Hearthstone.

      Didn't know C9 had Heartstone players lol. ((I knew TSM had Trump, not sure if they have more.))

  19. Ashe was the first champion I played regularly, so of course as a champion she's pretty "special" (for lack of a better word). But although I've been playing a bunch of different stuff lately (specifically Maokai or Fiora), Luxanna Crownguard remains my single favorite champion, and she always will be.
  20. Riot indirectly hinted at the season 4 championship skins (Samsung White) to be revealed at MSI later this month. Skins are expected to be for Ryze, Rengar, Yasuo, Twitch and Thresh

      Their midlaner asked for Talon specifically, though.

  21. That feel when tilting so hard I can barely play my favorite champs at a decent level right now. Yep, I played too much 3v3.
  22. Some uni students are setting up a local sm4sh tourney for next weekend, and I'm thinking of going...hmm...

      I may need to refine my Falcon against some reborners before i rsvp.

  23. A lot of fighters can duck under the up smash though.
  24. Probably Tiki. Maybe Cordelia. My preference of Tiki is sorta influenced by playing the other fire emblem games though.
