Smart Patching? Me gusta

My twitter friend haubix found/stumbled upon a way how to patch your LoL and still play on EU while NA is down :)

You just have to switch region to NA, let it patch (get ready for ~500MB patch) and then switch back to EU, where you download some (~50MB) files and you can play :). It's that easy :)

(P.S.: I believe it has something to do with how replay system will work so keep your eyes open on some of the next patches ;) )

DotA2



While many people are so much excited about DotA 2 and many people are already claiming that it's the mother of all MOBA games and so on, and that LoL is gonna die now, I am more objective about it, in my opinion.




First, I'd like to point out that DotA 2 isn't mother of MOBA genre...nor was ever DotA. Aeon of Strife was first mod which made this genre up and running.




Secondly, I have to say that DotA community has failed me...League of Legends has some millions players and totally diminishing number of them were ever claiming that DotA is a bad game. While we didn't play it, we didn't discourage others from p

laying it. We discouraged people from playing HoN, for what HoN was (a cheap copypasta). And what we get in return? Posts like this "OMG HoN and LoL are just cheap copies, they better die now, they just used ctrl+c, ctrl+v"

Did we really deserve it? If yes, tell me with what.




Also, I found this in the comments under the DotA 2 trailer (which just doesn't cut it as much as other valve movies...what happened with them?) "omg LOL and HoN have taken the models from WC3... Nice trailer hope its get better then LoL"

Now you might say "That's just some dumbass, you can't base the objective view on one idiot" /On a side note, the comment section under that trailer is full of such comments/.
Ok, I take it. I take it that DotA 2 community is totally ok with LoL and they are completely non-aggressive towards us now.

...so I derp around in twitter and find "DotA 2 already has replay function LOL. Beta DotA 2 client > LoL client right now"
Since when LoL tournaments stream and show us replays? oh right, they always were doing that...IIRC even in the beta the replay system was functioning on a few days basis. Let's just see how much time will it take to valve to enable replay system (functioning over patches) for normal people....


So, that's it. I am staying with LoL, because I don't really trust Valve that much (you know steam still bugs even after years of being fixed, right?)


Got questions? opinions? critique? Just tell me. (And click ads if you like my blog , it supports me and shows me that you care ^_^ )

Free Brand weeks

That's it. I now officially hate free Brand weeks. Not because of brand himself...but because of the players who play him on these weeks...

Simply, I take Lux and go mid. Meet Brand there. Stupid Brand, that is. He misses all the skills, but E (which is target clicked -> doesn't have to aim) He harrases me with that a little (because passive takes 8% of health + the damage of the spell), then he gets level 6 , flashes to me, E + R + Ignite -> I am dead.

And that's why I hate playing against noob Brands...they are noobs, yet they can kill me on level 6 without aiming anything...

DotA2 screenshots



Yeah, so the new DotA 2 screenshots came out, and honestly: I don't like them...they look way too much HoNish >.>


Also...Am I the only one noticing the plastic looks? <.<

Dominion

Riot finally decided to create more game modes, and the first one will be called "dominion". How they described it, it looks like a fast paced Control point mode, so bring on ye scouts and pain trains, we are gonna capture!

In my opinion more game modes will be able to hold people on LoL much longer after DotA2 being released, which would be a great news :) .

P.S. We need to find a way how to persuade them to make a zombie mode too ;)

Feeding

Everyone of us experienced a game where he/she was feeding the enemy because of something. Many times it's just, because the said person is unlucky or, in contradiction, the enemy is lucky with crits. Sometimes you feed by walking in your jungle, encountering all 5 enemies right at the entrance, which makes you somehow angry...

Anyway, this kind of feeding is not on purpose and shouldn't be reported. But if a person is feeding on purpose, it isn't just because he has had a bad day. It's many times caused by the fact that he believes that he is teamed with fucktards and must destroy their game, no matter what. That is the feeding which will make the AD Annie go 1-30 and that one should be reported.

AD Annie...that should be of course reported too...Or should it?
