It grows more difficult by the day to stay focused on the here and now. I can feel each, seperate poison, twisting in a burning river of fire which moves through to ignite my brain. When I can hold onto lucidity, when I can grip down onto what is real, the world moves so slowly. Sample X43-A, the "Insanity Potion" gave me ultimate clarity, made reality crawl as my brain raced. At first it was beautiful. I was beyond human, and there was nothing I couldn't do.
The after effects have been... trying, to say the least, though. At first I would find whole minutes gone from me, as though I'd slept, or more likely my mind and body seized. Lately it can be whole days, gone in a blink, no awareness of what happened while I was gone. I find myself reliant on stronger and stronger doses of X43-A to carry me through the fields of justice. I can't suffer the loss of so much time in those jungles, lest my awareness catch the best of me.
Off the fields, I pay the price. Lately I've begun to grow desperate. As the gaps in memory grew in length and I seemed to teleport between weeks, I doubted even my own genius could hold me through this. Until you.
I was having an episode, my muscles clenching, my eyes rocked back in my skull, the pain brought me to the brink of exhaust. Then, in a flash, you were there. You took me in your arms, and I was still. There was a burst of clairvoyance as your deep, red eyes locked with mine. Being so near to your perfection sent tremors through me, and I felt the ghost of something I hadn't known in a long time.
I was shaken by what I felt. Shaken, not stirred, not entirely. Even then, the garrison I'd built around my heart, a barrier I'd erected to protect myself from the pain when Warwick left was holding me back.
That first night, as we made love, I felt my passions revive. "This may hurt," I warned you.
"Ok." Such sweet perfection.
As we moved together, you showed me your powerball and I could do naught but fling away my empowered bullwark and open myself to you. "I'm on my way. It's nearly time."
"Alright." The beauty of your poetry makes me ache still.
We mixed. We mixed. We swirled and we mixed. My brain spun and then I was too far to stop. At the end of it all, the words just slipped out. "How'd that taste?"
"Hmmm. Ok."
Was that it, my sweet armordillo? No more? You opened beautiful horizons to me, but the best you could return was ok? Was your heart twisted in the same defensive ball curl mine had been locked in so long? Could you do no less than smite the budding love in my breast, that which you had just been able to heal?
You made some excuse about needing to cleanse, and you left. A poisonous fog descended on my brain then, where everything had been so clear before. I awoke alone, and lost once again.
My "episodes" still occur, but I find that if I can focus on that one singular moment, the perfection of your spiked shell, the beauty in your eyes, I can hold on to the world a bit longer. Will you seek me out again? I can do naught but wait.
This was a frustrating loss. I did bad in lane but still managed to farm effectively. Started being man mode come back Diana only to lose when it turned out that aside from Leona my team really didn't have a clue. Zac didn't understand how to do anything (he camped Kass post 6 when I and bot were hurting) and Varus's build is... something.
Still, learnt I can apparently do okay in a top lane Diana role aside from jungle intervention.
So, I know that Thresh is the fashionable support to call broken these days, but a Nami that can land her stun consistently really is genuinely ridiculous.
Such a brutal combination of CC, mobility and sustain.
Caitlyn fixed the issue of ending the night on a bum game.
I'm still a pretty bad laner in general but come teamfights they really struggled to make ground chasing me.
Also speaking of, is there someone on EUW (or willing to make a level 1 smurf or something) who'd be willing to do some sort of just general laning practice/training stuff with me? I basically want some gold level guy to annihilate me again and again until I get it right.
So I played an ARAM today and got brand, a character I love. Back when I knew little, and was leveling up / a new 30, I was always touting how he was a legit mid, and loved him. Unfortunately now he isn't much of a lane bully as he used to be, and all he brings to the table is damage, so he doesn't get played and I stopped midding.
ARAM and he gets to be that little nuclear bomb again. It takes a little while to get going, and I'll probably change my start to a blasting wand/dorans next time. Once I got my DC though, they would underestimate my damage, and that led to kills and a liandry's. everyone is so bunched up W and R are murder machines. And with no B to heal, the passive adds a lot of Poke that actually hurts. Man I wish I could pick him all the time on that map lol.

Yeah, I played her with a Cho'Gath mid the other day, and the airborne teamfights were beautiful. I found her unsatisfying at release, but the buffs have really helped. I had to play her against Sona, which people call her counter but I don't really see it. One stun and she's dead, I imagine Lulu would be much more painful. But calling her passive mobility is a bit of a stretch, it's only 1.5 seconds....
Since Foxfire Ahri was on sale today, I finally snagged it. ARAM immediately rewarded me by letting me play her in a game, which made me happy.
Then I took her to ranked and got paired up against a Kennen who could completely deny me any farm. That made me less happy.
Then our jungle trundle fed him both golem buffs twice in failed ganks. That also didn't make me happy. He was obviously frustrated I would run away when kennen got me to 10% health during the fight. I felt bad about this.
What is this I don't even.

It's pretty hard to deny Ahri farm. What were you and he building?
Against Kennen I would strongly consider (Flask), Boots, Ring, Ring, Abyssal although Boots, Chalice, Deathcap is also a possibility.
And then I remember that this is the weekend so I'll probably get the trolls during the series of course. We'll see.
Man, Caitlyn is lol against the opponents I've been facing. If you can position better and their team doesn't know how to engage on you right it is just killing time as Caitlyn.
I missed this game, I'll be stupid busy with work still but fuck it I'll find time.

Consider that bonus movement speed for 1.5 seconds is Karma's shield's biggest selling point.
Karma's MS buff is much greater than Nami's, of course, but getting something similar on all of your abilities for free is pretty nice.

Speaking of Kennen, what happened to him? He was a beast near end of S2. I got him with IP, but only did a few bot games with him. I need to learn yorick and Kennen as I'm sure singed will be seeing bans soon.

And the pros were all talking about Kennen being overpowered at All-Stars and "Yeah I'll probably pick up Kennen" and oh god it's ABOUT TO HAPPEN AGAIN
I am 90% positive that the only reason we aren't all talking about Kennen being a little piece of shit is that the LCS has taken some time off.
I've always hated Kennen with a passion and was glad that people thought that the nerfs were enough to put him in line because I stopped fucking seeing him but no he has to be goddamn ridiculous again. I started going top lane almost exclusively at the height of his reign of terror and that wasn't fun putting up with him every other game at best.

Kennen didn't even do that great at all-stars, he just fits into AOE comps very well.

His combo took me to half life in one go. I felt like I couldn't go out or I'd die.
They nerfed Kennen in season 2 by hitting his AA range, making it that much easier to be jumped on/ganked. In season 3, they buffed the FUCK out of minion damage in addition to removing the -4 damage from minions talents, meaning that jumping on Kennen is like trying to fuck a box of legos (extremely painful).

Er, he was hitting you with his full combo? What exactly was he doing to you?
Things to keep in mind:
Kennen's wave clear is shit if he levels Q and it's also relatively easy to block his damage from this. This means that if he levels W, he's only damaging you after he gets a Mark, which again the only reliable way of doing so is with a charged AA. So in that regard, you play against him similar to other characters with charges like that, you just wait for him to burn the AA. If he levels E, you should probably just laugh at him.
I feel like everyonr would have more fun if they played zac top.
Infinite sustain, waveclear, cc and escapes. Can take out kennen and teemo.
Also, bouncing.

I rolled through ranked in S2 with Kennen. I feel like now he doesn't perform as well for some reason. Feels like I'm doing less damage to champs. Not sure why.

This is the best.
Thread over, we're done here.
Peak reached.
I also have no idea where I got that skin from? I checked the wikia, and it says it was given to people in Season 1.
So peak ain't reached yet obviously.
If you don't watch Attack on Titan/SnK, you probably won't get it

I CLAIM CREDIT FOR THIS KILL IN THE NAME OF DEMACIA. LOOK, I PUT MY FLAG ON THE CORPSE.
10/1/2 Caitlyn, was a stomp and made their Wukong rage-sell. +23 LP!
I don't think it will be that hard to get back up in Silver. Gonna have to catch up with @Miniwolf on that quest for Gold!
Such a brutal combination of CC, mobility and sustain.
Because the best supports are overpowered, no one will notice this until Riot nerfs her after a dominating performance in the season 3 finals.
The LoL forums will surge with outcry over how Riot hates supports and is nerfing one who doesn't even need it and is super underplayed.
Janna will steeple her fingertips and laugh and laugh and laugh.
Nami is fantastic win. I am saddened by the number of people who get her in ARAM, and fail to use her W to full effect.
