what a game.. (I was the corki btw.. )

Learned an important lesson today: Don't gank for your solo laners when they're absolute shit at setting up ganks, no matter how much you don't want to gank bottom.

I was always averse to ganking bottom lane, but I ended up snowballing our ADC and that's how we won. The first time I went mid I was stupid and chased into the edge of tower range and got myself killed while burning their Ahri's flash. Then I went top where our Yasuo, who had already died once, got himself killed by Darius, but I was able to pick up a kill anyway.

Went mid again because our Nidalee wouldn't stop bugging me for a gank (never do this as a jungler). Swept the brush, no ward. Ahri was playing far enough away that she would just walk away if I tried to E+Q in, so I stayed in the brush for like 20 seconds waiting for Nidalee to fight. She stayed behind her creeps and looks like she was waiting for me to engage. Luckily Ahri went to ward the brush I was in, so I E+Qed and burned her ult, but I couldn't really do anything else since she had two more dashes. Nidalee was still behind her creeps and did literally nothing to help.

Nidalee starts pinging for a gank again as I recall to red, starts flaming when I go straight to red from base. Yasuo dies top again, 3 kills behind now. So I'm like fuck it, I'm not ganking for either of you two anymore.

Took red. Took blue. Went straight to bottom lane. Traded 2 for 1 in a 3v3. Snowballed Twitch from there. Won the game. Yasuo ended up feeding and Nidalee didn't really do anything else.

I played my first game after coming back from deployment (round 2) tonight. Went support janna, and I think I did okay. (normals, not ranked, just fyi.)
The new SR looks really pretty. the jungle mobs look silly. Dragon and baron buff changes were a "wtp is this pomegranate??!" moment for me. what the hell is up with that blue ring at the start of the match? Why do the inner turrets now give def. buffs? Why is feral flare gone and now there's these four new items; why do two of them allow you to smite champions?????
Lastly would someone be interested in duo-queueing? ._.

Devourer enchantment is a gimped Feral Flare in the sense that stacks only begin once you've purchased the item and don't start from Hunter's Machete. Warwick is currently OP in the new Jungle due to his built in sustain and ability to safely dragon at early levels. Only other jungler on equal level to him might be Pantheon in terms of dragon clearing due to his stun attribute. I think that the new items add more diversity to play and widen the pool for potential junglers you wouldn't normally see due to one of them providing cc providing added ganking potential.

I really like the transition. I would have hated it though if I hadn't decided to play around with Dota 2 where itemization really alters game play and gank potential. Dota 2 is refreshing because there is just such a large array of items that have so many actives, even base items have actives and charges that you need to keep mind and you can purchase features exclusive in League to champions like Twitch, Evelynn, and Teemo by simply spending some beginner gold on smoke bombs. Adding more applicable utility to bought items is a positive direction for the game to move in and prevent stagnancy.

I feel that League is gradually going to shift into the direction of Dota 2 with more niche item selections that provide situational actives making the gameplay highly situational and actually unique.

Rektsai is balanced.

EDIT: Also, you can see invisible champs with Tremor Sense. pineapple you, just pineapple you Shaco. You're done. I eat you now.

Mafia Graves .

Mafia Graves .

Pharaoh Nasus. Too bad I hate nasus lol

I already had a Wukong skin, but this one is nice! At least it isn't a skin for say... Ashe, Alistar, Zac, Rammus, or any of the other characters that I have that I just cannot play.

I'm pretty disappointed by this. Not only is it a super cheap skin, I don't really like it or twitch.

I actually wanted a Fizz skin... got Tundra Fizz.
Well uhhhh that's awkward, Void/Fisherman are just way better.
On the other hand I got to gold 4, and a free skin is better than no skin.

Pool Party Graves :^)

So, I guess I was out of the loop, since I logged back on after watch and saw I was gifted a skin by Riot?
I read up on why, and it makes sense.. but...

Sasquatch Nunu.

I don't even play Nunu.

playing with Zelkova and Krieii right now :o

Almost back to my rightful place in diamond .

My smurf got placed in gold 1. I went 5-5. Not ideal, but it won't be too hard to get it into Platinum hopefully.

Not going to play my placements on my main for a while.

I think this counts? I met D-Legend, Trick2g, at PAX South.

I'm just jealous you got to go to PAX south.

It was a lot of fun. I also met Adam Sessler, Candice Bailey, Sirchez (he ended up riding the same shuttle we rode to go back to our hotel) and a few people I don't particularly recognize, though I know they're famous for something.
