Dominion

Riot has been turning on dominion to test servers the past days...and I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT! Maybe that's just euphoric reaction, as it's new, though.

Anyhow, I'd like to share my thoughts about it. I love the fact that being a fast thinker helps you much. You are also not bound to the team so much, so your positioning (if you die) isn't blamed /so/ much.
So far it looks like tanky-DPS are the main role, but I've already seen successful heimers and talons, so mage/assassin players, keep your hopes up!

Also there is the starting method. What you prefer to do? 3 up 2 down? 4 up 1 down? 2 up 3 down?
I personally started liking 4/1 method, because you can win top in 4v3 fight easily and if bot is a ranged harraser, he should be capable of holding the point long enough to have someone help him later...

Different thoughts? Leave them in the comments, please ^^

Season one - Recap

Season one started July last year and is ending in a few days (Wednesday/Thursday, it looks like on EU). What has happened in that time? Some trailer along with trailer spoofs (and this one, whatever it is ) was released, 28 champions were released (Riven is not counted, she is coming out after the season ends), Magma Chamber was announced and cancelled (or paused? ), EU split appeared and Dominion was announced.

So what did we and Riot learn? We learned that a new champion without dash skill = UP (Right, Trundle, Yorick and Skarner?) and champion with a dash skill is nicely OP, melting everyone's faces on the first try and can nicely pull out a 1v3 fight without getting seriously damaged. Yes, I am talking about release Xin. I hated that week...

Well, one thing Riot certainly learned is somewhat balancing non-released champions. They now aren't totally unbeatable monsters, but they still need nerfs mostly. Or buffs (Hi again, Yorick)
Another thing they learned is, how they shouldn't announce things too much ahead of them releasing said things.
And we should learn how to not get overexcited over every little thing they announce :P

I would even draw for you something, but I am out of ideas currently :<

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 ^_^ )

5 Million dollars for winner of Season 2 in LoL

Guess, who's staying with LoL under any circumstances? Yes, you are right, the whole community is!
