So, anyone playing League of Legends?

Lol at the world preview show. In their predictions noone picked Alliance, they all picked Shield and C9 as teams to go through.
Man, if SK had their jungler all 6 games they couldve gone through. And thats the third team from Eu LCS. And we all know NA teams cannot beat EU teams. IMO, Alliance gonna stomp their group.

Just like at All-Stars?

 

[Markman]

All stars is not a real tournament. How about last Worlds or IEM after that? Wasnt there another international recently where they got beaten?
Also, Froggen will eat Hai for breakfast.

That's actually a lot less than expected. They can probably fix it all by the end of next year.

You DO remember which company we are talking about, right?

Well yeah, but they have been ramping up production, specially in the last few months. I mean, what did we get 4 full VU's if you count Sion in (others being Heimer, Karthus and Twitch).

Actually, yeah, nevermind, unless they keep pumping out stuff faster and faster this is gonna take 2 years still.

But fuck that THE DUNKMASTER IS COMING NEXT PATCH:

Comes with 20 hours of VO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcg6UrkK4SE#t=154

http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/09/924-pbe-update.html#more (and also a skin for wukong and one for leblanc that seem straight out of Disney movies... and a championship skin for Shyvana which looks ugly as fuck... oh well.)

Arm stretch OP

 

[Jozoz]

Shook was so goddamn useless.

Nyph wasn't good either. What a horrible game by Alliance.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

Viktor buffs, holy shit fucking Viktor buffs finally.

The increased W cast range and mana from Hex Core definitely feel good.

No scratch that who cares. GAREN BUFFS FOR DEMACIA

Sion rework http://www.reignofgaming.net/news/29721-unofficial-pbe-patch-notes-for-9-25-2014-sion

And Aatrox is officially obsolete :D

lel. boring games. Shitty that Alliance underpreformed concidering they had shitload of time to train.
But thats how it is, this lame type of defensive play doesnt work anymore, instead of dominating, they went back to old clg.eu strategies. I fucking hated that type of play back then, I still hate it now. Lame ass 3 kills in 30 minutes games with 0 plays.

Gonna derp now in my 15th or so promo attampt to get back to plat2, 1-1 currently. Gonna fail prob as usual.

USA USA USA
well actually NA NA NA since I'm from Canada

The new Sion actually looks interesting. A mix of a tank and a fighter, but he doesn't look that OP actually. His passive is a Yorick ult but way cooler, but the rest of his kit isn't all that special. His base health is low and he will need to farm a ton just to have the same hp as every other fighter and all of his cc has counterplay (unless you're a champion that lacks mobility, lol) He also doesn't have any sustain except his shield so his laning could be tough.
Actually he looks like a farm heavy... thing, not quite the early game of a fighter or the late game power of a tank but something in between. I hope he doesn't go in the jungle, that would be just dumb, Riot loves those non-ganking late game scaling useless junglers.

 

[Gay-Lussac]

New Sion looks awesome, specially the ult and the passive. It's too bad that the base skin is by far the coolest though, I was having high hopes for warmonger (it kind of looks like Thanos) but all the others except the base look super lame. I don't like looking like a pleb without a skin =/

New batch of texture updates on the PBE also. They seem to have done a great job with Nocturne.

 

[Jozoz]

No Fiddlesticks texture update

Maybe because he's getting a VU??? That would be swell.

 

[Azael]

New Sion passive is basically his ult, minus the allies healing, combined with Yorick's ult then? Sounds fun.

Also, that choo-choo rape train ult should be amusing as fuck.

 

[Markman]

Lol. Did xPeke just made the best midlaner in the world his bitch? Holy shit

 

[Renegen]

KR < EU < NA confirmed!

This is like last year, down to Fnatic ultimately disappointing. Also that clown Monte has been shut up, "Dade has never sold on Zed like ever!"

 

[Markman]

If Alliance played as agressive as Fnatic did mid game they couldve taken that game by 30 minute mark. 4/0/2 Froggen and he did nothing with it, waited for late game where 1000 hp shielded Tristana would blow away turrets and the whole team.
Also I agree with the analyst desk about the items for Zilean. Nyph cannot into builds. Who needs mana with Zilean? Noobs.

 

[Erzherzog]

At least C and D are exactly as exciting as hoped.

Also, Hai is the most inconsistent midlaner ever.

Also, happy as I am I am not ready to annoint regional dominance. Lmq has much work still especially after fnatic managing a win over kr. Everything C9 has done can be undone, but as of right now what I can say with confidence is that China is NOT the undisputed second best and EU and NA at least have parity with each other. And SEA sucks. And br is hue.

 

[Jvegi]

So much for West being great and Asians being overrated. At least NA is NOT being outclassed by EU by any means, and both regions are at least putting up a fight.

Go C9!

EDIT: How about it? NA occupies 3 spots on a top5 KDA ratio list!

KABUUUUUUUUUM

 

[PlanHex]

Except EU can actually take down koreans.

 

[Azael]

Am I reading.the end of game stats wrong, or did Alliance just completely shut down Najin White Shield?

 

[PlanHex]

Yeah, it was a perfect game. No towers, kills or anything. Shook stole the only dragon they were close to getting. He was absolutely the MVP of that match. Took them a while to close the game though.

 

[Erzherzog]

And take last place while doing it!

Wow though, onus is on Cloud 9 to respond but NWS is definitely beatable. Shoulda 2-0'd Alliance when you had the chance boys.

Supposedly top 5 Koreans teams are better than anything else. But honestly, looks like the world has been catching up.

 

[Markman]

Took em a while to wake the fuck up.
