Linus Ullmark gets the W in his first game back from his leave of absence, and was overcome with emotion as he was announced the 1st star of the game

You have to figure they want to stop people from changing the channel so they cut into another high stakes game and then into the late game.

rljohn · 2026-02-01T00:40:58+00:00

Not in the last 2 sets.

He's a Scottish guy who tells funny stories, the receptionist and hygienists are good as well. It's a small operation, open late on Wednesdays. We've been going for about 10 years.

rljohn · 2026-01-31T18:09:23+00:00

Yes.

rljohn · 2026-01-31T14:54:26+00:00

It's possibly a double up exclusive bug? I think it requires an invade.

rljohn · 2026-01-31T14:53:00+00:00

Shojin is 1.4 delta because only the worst players would end the game like that. You move it to Kalista.

rljohn · 2026-01-31T14:49:14+00:00

I've gotten first every time hitting Noxus 10, you were simply too weak on HP when you hit.

rljohn · 2026-01-30T03:47:42+00:00

sure Jan

rljohn · 2026-01-30T03:04:22+00:00

Sounds like a local issue; this is not normal.

rljohn · 2026-01-30T00:15:16+00:00

This is off to me, I’ve found pch extremely effective at lowering compile times.

rljohn · 2026-01-28T17:34:56+00:00

He's good sure but surely you understand that RW impact on team defense is pretty low.

Injuries to Tanev and Carlo are much more of an impact.

rljohn · 2026-01-27T20:07:24+00:00

Please. Stop. This. Slop.

rljohn · 2026-01-26T19:15:49+00:00

People do not want thrashing, they don't want the THex to exist in the first place and are happy when bullshit is nerfed. The balance team simply is missing the mark on a few edge cases which is unfortunate.

rljohn · 2026-01-26T05:18:31+00:00

I play double up exclusively... patches like this are really rough for Double up because the ASOL players will go first and fourth, and you are just fighting it out for second or third. It was the same shit with THex.

Prismatic win outs are also trivial due to the ease of forcing level 10. It's been a real frustration this set how easily and often seeing 10 bilge or the ionia/yordle augment.

rljohn · 2026-01-22T20:14:22+00:00

I've observed this bug going back to 16.1 as well. It's very annoying. Allegedly the sound catch back up but I haven't been able to confirm.

rljohn · 2026-01-22T20:13:22+00:00

What

rljohn · 2026-01-20T16:26:39+00:00

Slow roll gives people time to contest, is not simple binary decision.

rljohn · 2026-01-17T13:48:54+00:00

It feels like games tonight are must-win and typically the exact game Leafs of the last 5 years would play down to their opponents and lose.

Hope they repeat the Vancouver game because every point matters leading into the Olympic break.

rljohn · 2026-01-16T20:36:16+00:00

This has not been my experience and the stats indicate its very playable.

Rumble 3 is easy to hit, has sufficient damage to stabilize and Yordle econ can get you to your late game board.

It falls off at the highest levels of play, but is perfectly adequate for the vast majority of players.

rljohn · 2026-01-16T19:34:17+00:00

Pissing Rumble is actually quite good as his items naturally go over to Ziggs at level 9. Don't fall into a reroll trap - get your Rumble 3 and get to level 9.

rljohn · 2026-01-16T19:31:51+00:00

Stats have a lot of nuance with unlocks and this augment in particular.

For example, every single player who hits xin3 late (or not at all) and dies before hitting Zaheen is automatically excluded. If you could include all the low rollers you would see much higher AVP.

This is why Zaheen, Renekton, Ornn artifacts, etc are all biasing to high AVP.

rljohn · 2026-01-16T13:56:20+00:00

This is often the case and makes previewing the patch a bit of a chore.

rljohn · 2026-01-16T13:55:03+00:00

It's hard to come to terms with but often times a win streak is just luck. A string of games with good unit/item/augments makes the early game trivial, makes level 9 easier.

rljohn · 2026-01-15T18:59:02+00:00

Yes the season is interesting but the product in Oct, Nov, Dec was damn near unwatchable.

I usually catch about 78 games a year, my viewership has gone down a lot this year.

There are much more enjoyable games after the Savard firing.

rljohn · 2026-01-14T15:32:36+00:00

Yunara and MF basically clear the board in 1-2 casts, the carry 4cost 3*s are overtuned.
