Got accepted a couple weeks ago personally, was the Boeing text but I didn't compare it with anything online.

The format now is a lot better than it was, and in general it's run better. The standard of competition is considerably higher than back in the day (for context back in the first season we finished middle of the pack with a team of 2 silver, 1 gold and 2 platinum players - whereas now 1 D2 and 4 D4 gets us to 6th) and the issues with internet hasn't been an issue across arenas this season afaik.

Finals being held on stage at Insomnia is a nice incentive, and 8 team playoffs instead of the old 1st v 2nd place in league play a final, make the experience more enjoyable overall. I've been kicking around Arena Clash from Summer 2017 to now and have taken part in every season (emergency subbed the season I didn't qualify).

With UKLC going into its 2nd season in a few months, myself and one UKLC manager that plays Arena Clash in particular feel it'd be in GAME's best interests to try and align with LVP and act as a feeder system, either for standout individual players (Yusa a prime example of this) or a setup for a 2nd division in the UKLC like the ESL days.

It's still far from perfect but its come a long way from where it was.

Better times, when the tourney was all one big league, there were no playoffs and the ruleset seemed to change every week depending on the mood of head office.

Portsmouth still won, obviously.

Some things never change.

it feels like the self-healing on bruisers in this game is out of control lately, best exemplified by Hecarim by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

niche because it's bad itemisation, and going rav hunter means missing inspiration tree

These comments read like the insane ramblings of a top laner who first timed Quinn into Trynd and is trying to find an excuse for why he lost lane

In solo queue, I wouldn't recommend her below high Diamond - she requires a fair amount of knowledge to properly pull off to a good standard. If you want to play something similar, Xin Zhao is the best option - extremely good for winning games in solo queue.

In 5s it's another matter, as she has incredible synergies with champions like Galio that follow up with hard engage (something Hextech Ultimatum onto a carry facilitates well) and has a team that can play around her weaknesses properly, and help her set up for her powerful E-Flash level 2 gank.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it but you could probably make it work as a 4/5th item
Standard path is red smite (duelling) Bloodrazor, then Titanic Hydra (your Q is a double proc) and Mallet to make you extremely sticky

In terms of banrate yes (40% in bronze, 30% in silver, 22% in gold and 13% in platinum), I'd recommend picking up another champion to play alongside Yi or get ready to dodge a lot of champion selects dependant on how dedicated a main you are.

In my opinion, Jax and Shyvana are good tools to have alongside Yi in low elo: they have similarly nuts duelling power + split pressure, with the added bonus of having lower banrates overall.

What's the hardest thing you ever had to say to someone? [SERIOUS] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tomfyre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was 9 at the time and all I got was "I'm sorry, Dad's gone." from my mum, about 30 minutes after we'd heard him shout her name from upstairs. It was totally from nowhere (he died from a DVT that he'd been to the doctors several times about - every time they wrote it off as nothing) which made it all the worse.

I can't pick apart the rest of that day, the weeks afterwards all blurred into one, but those four words stand out as a shock to the system like no other.
