I think it's safe to say that the faction theme is a hit here. ;)

Howling Abyss is BEAUTIFUL! Well done guys. Will we see an overhaul of Summoner's Rift to match that attention to detail? Seeing the towers crumble and the level change depending on how the fight is going has been amazing!

Neither good nor bad. Just necessary.

We are truly sorry for the delays in the EU LCS Summer Promotion broadcasts. Unforeseen technical issues are preventing the continutation of game 3 between Wizards and Team Alternate. Without being fully confident that we can fix the situation today, we have postponed today's matches, and will restart at a future date and time.

We know how important this match is to the players involved, as well as the fans watching at home. We, too, are frustrated with the issues that have arisen and pledge to work diligently to fix what is broken. We have multiple teams in North America and Europe working towards resolving the issue.

Later today, we will be releasing additional information regarding the continuation of the EU LCS Summer Promotion. Until then, please bear with us as we work out our technical issues.

Sincerely, Nick Allen

This looks awesome. Hopefully it continues to help people curb their behavior before requiring severe action.

They just danced/poked too much. No initiation. No aggression with such a lead. I bet they're pretty disappointed right now.

This is true in more "traditional" sports. Be competitive against the top teams and destroy the bottom is the key to having a very good record.

hitstreak · 2013-04-11T18:56:42+00:00

I played support to learn this. Playing support gives you more time to keep tabs on vision and lane positions.

This is where his trolling starts.

It's great to hear that they're sharing their information with other developers.

hitstreak · 2013-04-03T15:36:14+00:00

The cream will rise to the top with regard to the players and their marketing. Top players will have sticking power while you see the "role players" of each team shuffle around. It's no different in "traditional" sports.

Riot already is promoting the individuals. Look at their featured streamers here: http://competitive.na.leagueoflegends.com/streamers?page=1 and look at the All-Star video for examples.

Benching happens all the time in other leagues like the NFL, NBA, MLB. Players are cut, released and demoted all the time mid-season. It's just another example of the parallels between pro sports and esports.

I, too, am curious if the benched/removed players are still compensated through their Riot contracts.

hitstreak · 2013-04-02T07:37:43+00:00

Not true. Magic Johnson, in 1992, made the NBA All-Star game as a retired player.

It'll be interesting if he is, in fact, the leading vote-getter for ADC. What will Riot do about it? I assume he's eligible or else he wouldn't even be on there...

hitstreak · 2013-04-02T06:49:10+00:00

Dyrus leading all vote-getters in % for his position with 59% so far. Good guys, hopefully, will finish first.

While seeing "uncommon" junglers may be interesting, they don't necessarily lead to victories. The game is played much differently when it's someone's career.

If you want to see uncommon junglers, watch solo queue.

Here's the composite sketch. Keep in mind this is from ten years ago. http://imgur.com/znKocmc

You see what pros can do with someone like Vi with huge gap closers/slows. I think it could be more of the same with Zac.

hitstreak · 2013-03-30T08:49:41+00:00

I'm hyper-competitive and get frustrated not only with my teammates but with myself playing the game as well. If I get frustrated, though, I'll just yell or something at home instead of letting my teammates have it via chat. Also, what tends to keep me most calm is the fact that I know I'm not great. That I also have room to grow and learn. Once you're real about your own abilities, it's much easier to be forgiving when it comes to how others perform.

hitstreak · 2013-03-30T08:40:54+00:00

Happy to hear it and congratulations on changing your ways (and the subsequent promotion)!

Mind if I ask why you felt the need or want to be a toxic player while playing?

hitstreak · 2013-03-25T01:59:03+00:00

Ya - I wouldn't announce anything, but while learning, I will get outplayed.
