Assuming you played at least 10 games in Season 1 (who hasn't?), yes.

Have they region locked the servers?
For some reason the US one isn't available to me while the EU nordic one is.

Bugger.

CorriganX

Awfully cool down in hell.

Blackbeard7

At least her gun is finally going to be a bit different. I mean, I can never tell the difference between the skins if there is one.

Forever Zefiro

Eh, in game it's not nearly as cool

edit - regarding Taric skin

The Chinese art makes Taric look manly.
English makes him look fabulous.

To be fair in game we've seen it for all of 10 seconds and from an angle where his red ruby hammer overshadows most of his body.

So last night pretty much made me want to quit this game.

10 games down in Normals now.

1st Game: Go 9/1/3 as Malz before 20 minutes. Top lane Cho and Ashe go 0/6/2 and 1/7/0 Bot lane Karma and MF go 1/5/0, 1/9/0
2nd Game: Malzahar, 4/1/5. Top lane Trynd and Kat go 4/15 and 1/7, feeding Jax. Bottom lane was an unmemorable Teemo and Amumu.


It was the third game that really killed me though. I was already pissed, and as a result, not playing my best.

Ashe/Sivir/Amumu/Heimer/Irelia(me). Ashe was really the only person that got kills that game. Unfortunately, my lane opponent in bot lane was Xin/Morde. The moment I stepped from underneath the tower, they straight up dove and murdered me. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, just hang back and last hit at tower.

Except our Heimer was dead set on the fact that the correct way to play this game was to sit at the tower with full health and full mana, have one turret up, and never last hit. Due to his passivity, Morde and Xin learned early how to dive and get kills on an underleveled Heimer.

I went 1/8/15, Heimer went 1/17/3. Nothing to be proud of on my part, but it certainly wasn't helped by the most infuriating lane partners I've never gone up against, and a shitlord Heimer.

Just gonna.

Uninstall.

Probably not, but for my first three games in 5 days, I sure as hell don't want to play tonight.

Yeah, I do enjoy this game when things are going well. However, few games I've ever played have had the same capacity for extreme, slamming fists into the desk outbursts of rage that leave me extremely irritable for the rest of the night when games go sour because teammates just herp derp while I'm getting ganked. I'm not sure that continuing to play is actually good for my overall health.

Houn

Someone tell me what free champ to play with while I'm learning.

Dark_Side

I've heard other people say it, and I know that I also follow this rule too, that if I lose two in a row, I take an extended break from the game. Anywhere from 30 minutes, to the rest of the night so I can come back at it fresh.

Infidel

Yeah, playing while on tilt is not good for your mental health.

this week? Ashe or Galio are both pretty straight forward. Brand is fun if you feel like blowing things up, but it requires good coordination to land your combos. Janna is good if you want to learn support.

Forever Zefiro

I'd say Wukong is pretty straight forward. You just smack things with your staff, and if you mess up, you can decoy away

Patch delayed till 2

surrealitycheck

handsome garen best skin

Alucard6986

New Janna art looks pretty hot

Old art was definitely always a monkey painting

Now they should do siv's in game model

Feels Good Man

those arts are all pretty wonderful, I like them

I think I prefer dreadknight garen in game though, from what I've seen

Blackbeard7

I think the only thing keeping me from wanting some of those skins is I already have ones I like for the given champs

though I'm torn on which of skarner's I want

TracerBullet

Artic Warfare Caitlyn is <3

Houn

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out tonight.

Yes.

Dread Pirate Arbuthnot

Considering buying Arctic Warfare Caitlyn now

the enemy team will have snow chance

Prospicience

Whoa, a different looking awesome taric skin... who would have guessed? Skins are awesome, just wish they'd add some for champs that don't have more than 3 skins.

Earthrune

Which probably means it's only in the doublepack

Also that Riot Nasus is pretty darn silly
