Hellos?

Hey POTOSI,

I try and be pretty clear when my I'm talking 'out of my depth'- in this instance, I want to make it clear that I do not make any decisions connected to Dominion "getting ranked". It's definitely not my call- I'm not even in the conversations/ meetings where I'd hear who's call it was...!

Normally, I'd just say that and move on- because I'm not responding from a place of knowledge or where I can respond with action- but I also know what it's like to feel passionate about something and wish you could get some type of response.

So while I don't have a verdict for you, I can respond with just my thought on the subject: I'd argue that if ques are already 'outrageous', splitting up the players even more would make your ques substantially worse. Especially at higher elos. People would then grow further disenfranchised with the map due to the enormous ques and migrate even further back to SR. As a fan of the map, it could hurt its popularity rather than help it.

I'm OG w/ GRRM, too!

But the Tuna Fish thing...? A line has been crossed. A line of common morale decency!!!!

you should check out a program called guitar pro 6. It makes it incredibly easy to learn new songs without needing bookshelves full of tab.

Hi there, Caks...!

How's Paris?

You ask a lot of very core questions in your post- many of which could probably have their own individual threads. And almost all of which I hear the guys in Live Design talk about daily.


I, personally, would say that the game is in a "healthy state". I always hesitate to use the word 'balanced' because I try and keep the bar for that so high (ex. I don't look at Chess as balanced due to White's strategic advantage of moving first). We're constantly tweaking and retweaking champions. 'Balance' is a very organic thing in a game of this size, and I don't feel like we're ever satisfied with it in the sense of "Well, we're balanced, now- everyone can go home...!"

With that said, we follow trends very, very, very closely. Both on Live games and on the pro tourney scene. We try not to be overly reactionary- waxing and waning trends are a healthy part of growth- but we do keep an eye on developments that come up and are not afraid to hotfix issues that send the game over into an "unhealthy" state- like we did right after Zyra launched. I'd also say that Ezreal and Corki have been in a stable place for sometime, regardless of Gamescom.

As for the map modes, I'd actually encourage you to try a 1v1 or 2v2 on the new Proving Grounds map. It's primarily played for ARAM, but it's definitely a very strong "dueling" map, as well.

Yup. I've been apart of a couple different groups over the years, but I don't actively play right now. I honestly just don't have the time to commit to a session- let alone a campaign. But, yeah; ive played.

A good DM makes or breaks a group. It's called "Role Playing" not "Roll Playing", you know...?

I just started building an Ork army sice coming to Riot. It's slow going, but fun.

I like them due to their comic relief feel...

I've got the pitchforks ready if someone else can bring the torches!

I guess I should never say never- but I think Urf as a champion is simply dead. I'm pretty sure the biggest room at the Riot Headquarters has been dedicated to him as the "Urf Memorial".

With that said, stranger things have happened....
