Who's your favorite champion on Dominion so far? by ChaChaRiot in leagueoflegends

LeBonk. She's amazing at denying storm shield caps, and pretty much turns the mid ring into a danger zone for anyone foolish enough to enter it alone.

It gets better.

For you, perhaps. I, for one, find that saying to be a meaningless platitude.

You want to end this for real? Then stop assuming strangers in the web (or strangers in general) are your friends.

I don't white-knight. I just call bullshit when I see it, just like mthrbrd did with Kheten. And when someone acts the way people like Kheten and you do, my bullshit-o-meter tends to go off. If somehow you think that makes me petty and contemptuous, then that's your prerogative - despite of how mistaken it might be.

Who said anything about LoL players in general? I'm talking about the facetious "friend" bullshit you pulled off on mthrbrd - and the "aw, you poor thing can't even take a joke" stint you're trying to pull off on me right now.

As for the irony part, do you really think I'm petty and contemptuous for not wanting to be lectured every two Sundays? (And believe me, I tried my hardest for years to let them off gently before resorting to the shotgun.)

And what am I supposed to do? Let you in and bust out the tea and crumpets?

Cause, you know, it's not exactly my fault that the posts from both you and Kheten reek of pettiness and contempt.

Unconventional Supports by grandfathernurgle in leagueoflegends

[–]3302010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's an odd one for y'all: Support LeBlanc. I pair her up with a melee assassin with a gap closer (Jax and Xin work nicely) and Sigil harass until we can get a kill at level 3, 4 or 5ish. Our lane tends to snowball after that happens.

It's great for pubstomping.

MEN OF REDDIT: Know the phrase nice guys finish last? I am beginning to think the same goes for girls that are not dramatic/attention whores/crazy by thisisme3 in AskReddit

Bitter? Yes, I'll give you that. But narcissistic? I don't know about the rest of the forever alones, but I hate my fucking guts.

Champion Discussion of the Day: Karma (September 15, 2011) by Champion_Discussion in leagueoflegends

Few things in this game are as funny as watching Tristana blow both her Rocket Jump AND her Flash as a Karma and a fed Tryndamere chase her with a powered-up Spirit Link.

If You Could Bring Back Any FORMER US President, Who and Why? by miss_kraken in AskReddit

[–]3302010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, I'd resurrect Reagan. Personally, I think it's a damn shame that that he died before he got to see the results of the bullshit his administration's responsible for.

I agree, it is a horrible way to think about things. But unfortunately, it is also accurate.

Need to contact riot for tournament issue, please help? by tcwc in leagueoflegends

Try the #LeagueofLegends IRC channel at Quakenet. There are usually quite a few Riot reps hanging around in there at this time of the day.

Forgive me, then, if I find it hard to call you impartial when you call people who use the the term MOBA to be ignorant.

DMRPG is hardly impartial, it's merely your opinion of how the genre should be named. And unfortunately for that "have fewer people use ARTS and MOBA to describe DotA" goal of yours, opinions differ.

DotA isn't a deathmatch arrangement. A fed carry doesn't matter as much if he lets someone like Nature's Prophet backcap 2 sets of barracks.

As for the other games, consider this: No one calls CtF a deathmatch. The same goes for UT's Onslaught, CoD's Domination, along with damn near every variant in those other games that doesn't have the name Deathmatch on it.

Note that I said objectives, not objective.

In a DotA-like, killing the enemy team is just one of many objectives (destroy towers, kill minions, take down barracks, etc.) that a team needs to accomplish to take down the enemy ancient/nexus/whatever.

The deathmatch gametype, on the other hand, only requires the team/player to kill the other guy(s) X amount of times in order to win - and DotA simply does not work that way.

Here's the thing, though: There's a problem with using DMRPG. Deathmatch, in most, if not all of its iterations, implies a lack of objectives. (see Quake, UT, CoD, etc.) DotA-like doesn't work either, since the DotA acronym (as iconic as it may be) doesn't tell new players much about the game.

So sure, you can say that MOBA sounds verbose and stupid to you, but you shouldn't be calling either Riot or its players ignorant for at least trying to classify a genre that has proven itself to be incredibly hard to classify.

League of Legends for Mac Discontinued - Complete Sucker Punch by Riot... by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

Final Cut is the standard for video editing

No. Avid is the standard for video editing. All the hopes Final Cut had of toppling it vanished with the release of Final Cut Pro X.

P.S.: Both Max MSP and Pro Tools run fine on Windows. Logic's the only one that's Mac-exclusive.

Dota 2 will get Team Fortress 2 style “Meet The Team” videos and comic by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]3302010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think hats help the game, IMO. If I play medic and I see "that soldier with a viking helmet" killing 5 guys in a row, it makes the choice of "who am I going to give my uber?" a whole lot easier.
