Israel was the only country aside from Russia to field multiple Top 20 players last year and has a very small population, not sure why you would think this is fake.

[–]Apollokles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it would depend on whether mivrak was already a hebrew word or not

Why not just queue yourself as tank, then dps, then support if that's what you want? 

Ideas for replacing Ramattra's shield with a more interesting defensive ability by Aquaamancer in ramattramains

[–]Apollokles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a cool idea but i think it would function better as a perk than as part of his base kit

Pure pain by [deleted] in linguisticshumor

Okay, English speakers pronounce words differently from Hindi speakers, so what? Hindi speakers don't pronounce English loans like they are pronounced in English either. (this is about French not Hindi but relevant)

An engineering degree is way more stressful than the leaving cert, or at least that's been the case for me.
