I briefly considering playing a LOL game last night, but decided against /endpacovleagueupdate rustupdate: So, the new XP update went live and I joined a server shortly after a wipe. This meant only everyone starts out at square 1, so I can get established and setup much more safely. Hunny got on around 7PM and I built a bag for him so he could spawn at my base. I kitted him out when he spawned so he'd have clothes/food/tools/weapons and we were off. &nbs

Still rocking out the GP in ranked now. Bryff and I actually got a win together with our dream lanes - kassadin mid/gp top. Side note - bryff and I were at a 100% loss rate w/ that combo for a wee bit. :) Today is magical Rust patch day. The new XP system is going live, server wipes are going live, going to be some chaos. Currently, I've got bryff/hunny/boaz trained on how to play the game (boaz is taking bit to figure things out, but hunny/bryff pick

[quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="2957" id="3642293"] What makes GP less able to handle 2v1 now than he used to. [/quote] I'm not really sure - perhaps thunder has some thoughts. The guy on the vid just said he can't hang w/ that. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen too many LCS games in awhile that put a solo laner vs 2 at the start ala old school. What I'd expect to happen is that GP would get zoned off a wave pretty easil

ah - so this is what karl's been up to lately http://i.imgur.com/yuiJzQi.gifv re: GP - yah I think I'd need to put in a ton of reps to get gud. I currently really like the champ. Not great at hitting the triple barrel, but getting much better at catching folks and harassing heavily during early laning. Most of the time I'm able to chunk folks down to 50% without losing any trades, which is pretty good

All really good feedback - thx! [quote who="Thundercles" reply="2952" id="3641798"] - I'd advise not using the mana regen runes. There is only one high level GP that I've seen who uses them still. Out of ALL the people who play GP from Korea to West EU, only one. The coach himself has moved away from them as well now that he's not smurfing 100 games to Diamond videos and is actually playing on his high level accounts again. [/quote] <

So... I spam played RUST and will probably do so some more. Really enjoying my time. Here's a quick run down on the game, what you do, what's good, what's awful. So, you start out recovering from being unconscious on a beach. You have a rock and a torch and are naked as a jaybird. You are injured, hungry and thirsty. Survive. So, you find some wild mushrooms to eat. Chop down some wood and stones. Immediately you make a spe

Currently enjoying taliyah top or mid.. which likely means she's border line op. She's genuinely fun to play for me anyway. love her w/ thunderlords and really enjoy her ult. Finally caught up w/ boaz again. He was on for a bit last night, so hopefully I catch him again soon. He's been busy, but it sounds like things are going a lot better for him now. Says he's enjoying the 75 degree weather in alaska.

I played through the recently released DOOM (single player only). It was hands down the most fun I've had with a game in years. If you haven't checked that out, I really recommend it if you enjoy FPS. It was a real treat. I really enjoyed the story and pacing as well. Anyway, this got me thinking about playing some older version of doom. I had the doom 3 pack or w/e from a steam sale sometime back. Only like 2.75 gigs for doom 3 and doom 3 r

Took me a second, but then I remember what you were talking about. I dug around and found this from a tourney we had: Demigod Selection Each 3 man team must use the following formula to make their Demigod character selections based on a 7 point maximum. Be aware that no duplicate demigods are permitted on the same team. This means you cannot choose random. Demon Assassin/Regulus - 1 poin

I picked up dead by daylight yesterday. Let me know if you'd like to play it if you got it ($17 on steam). It's a survival horror sort of MP game. 4 victims and 1 serial killer. The victims try to work together to escape. Seems like it has an ok perk system, etc. Not sure how much I'll get into it, but I'll play it a few more times anyway. Some folks are streaming it, so give that a look to figure out if it might be something fun for y

Yeah - I thought I saw a game or 2, which was cool to see. I still have the same problem as always with champs... I get bored way too quickly to improve a ton. She's a goto pick for me out of top lane atm anyway. I really think armor pen runes is a better way to go on her than just ad or even scaling ad. My only armor pen for her outside of runes/masteries is from BC... which I'm not 100% sure, but i believe it stacks per tentacle hit. With BC + a good ro

Says RiotChomey: " So autofill is ALWAYS enabled for all tiers and ranks. The criteria for actually getting autofilled is based on population. We just had to restart the service (woot, new short record, 3 minute downtime) due to a small bug that was impacting ~100 players in a really negative way. Sorry for the inconvenience"

So I think Illaoi is in an interesting spot. I think her tenatacle mechanic where you pull their spirit and echo damage, etc, is kind of awful in design and not fun to play against. It was insanely awful at release when it lasted a super long time. Now it lasts like 12 seconds and often forces the a really dumb, but necessary counter play. Folks often RUN away whenever you land the spirit grab and take the echo'd effect where tentacles spawn for 12 seconds. T

Continuing to spam top illaoi. Getting a little tired of it, but sticking with to get the experience. Knowing zero top lane matchups vs illaoi and stuff requires a bit more spam. Getting a little better, but I still suck quite a bit at top lane in general. Getting better with things like farming/poking appropriately. Working most of on figuring out how best to use her late game and proper tp usage. It's a lot to figure out and get used to looking at the

So... I've been spamming top a bit now. I started thinking about playing top a bunch again when I saw wukongs win rate in top floating around 54%... which reminded me I had a decent skill level with him, BUT little experience playing him top. I tried that, but didn't really feel like dedicating a bunch of time to him... now anyway. But - I did want to give Illaoi a shot again after the changes. Now, someone posted a vid about advanced illaoi strategies and ta

yeah - reddit is titilated with itself today about it. I don't personally care about the ranked 5's mode crap, but I'm all for having it for folks to form proper teams and play against other proper teams. No impact to me in any way if they give folks the option for that. The 1-3 folks thing is probably going to help a bunch with queue times for higher elo folks. Hoping that auto fill thing impacts mostly them - and rarely at that. True solo q
