leash/pull - when someone other than the jungler attacks a jungle creep so that it comes towards them while the jungler attacks it; the leasher leaves the range so the jungle creep returns to the jungler; allowing several free hits/spells on the creep for the jungler.

You know what that means, you gotta play ranked.
Kassadin and Talon seem neat, and one is usually available. Fizz, too. Any tips for these champs?
But for assassin types like those just play aggressive. No scare, no die.
LoL: 2SANG, GW2: eesang.4316
Galio, Yorick and Teemo can dick with the best of them
But I only use Randuins AFTER my ult. That's how you do it right, yeah?
Spare Scrolls for trade
Is it gonna be random again or ranged jungles/melee lanes or what's going on

Fixed that for you. Random is rarely ever balanced. Draft pick gets you closer to balanced.
Random games are however very crazy.
Been on a nuts run with carries, and I just bought Vayne... First game, 20/5/doubledigits
It was pretty fun! I don't think AD carries should have stuns but that's just me!

Key melees:
Kassadin
Kayle
Pantheon
Seems like Riven/Shen/Lee Sin would be important? Blitz too? Anyone with a filthly gapcloser basically?

But, next week, I shall be back home, and ready to kick some ass for next Thursday's PAinhouse.
Also, if possible, I still think assigning 1 caster to each team would be ideal. Then the casters aren't always doing the same commentary with the same people. I wanna see you guys not only improve on your gaming skills from playing, but your speech skills in alternate commentating. Then again, I love Rivington, and think he's the best commentator, so what do I know.
Oh, I remember where I was going with that.
When I come back home and watch all the replays, it's a pain in the ass to figure out which casters jumped around to which games. I know it's SOOOOO much trouble for them to end recording, and start a new session, but it really would help to organize for anybody wanting to go back and see what they did wrong without having to jump through 3 hours of 1 recorded session. Just saying. If I can put up with shitty internet and still go 3-0 one week as champion, I think you guys can put a little more effort into streaming. /rant
Fizz: Open with Q, disengage with Playful/Trickster when harassing. Only open with P/T if you intend to commit to a kill (P/T -> Ignite -> Q -> R)
His gameplay is pretty fun & simple; I'm a little torn on his best lv 1 arsenal, though. Boots + 3 is good, Doran's Shield is good & Blue Cystal + 2, changing Blue into Catalyst as soon as you have the gold, is also good. I tend to go the Catalyst route with the intent of finishing a reasonably early RoA.
I really can't understate my disappointment at not being able to watch any of my matches

wish i would have recorded it
I didn't press print screen in time. I was too worried about getting away from turret fire.
You, uh, can scroll up the chat window after you return to base.
They're all powerful melees, but standard for other melees to play against. Kayle can be an AD carry, kass is normally vs. AP casters and Pants has ranged harass.
Re: Timing - I'm not opposed to moving the times (I'm WC as well), but then we'll completely lose the euros. As the games don't normally start until 6, if you really want to play and can make it for then but not draft-time, we can throw your name in (as I think we did with Arikado last week).
Oh wow. I wasn't even thinking about that. I just wanted the big ol' announcement on the screen. Oh well. I'll just have to get another one
