    I've been thinking about that, I would have never thought to put Mundo in the team as Muscles, or to have Totally Not Blitzcrank. I had toyed with the idea of adding n some LeBlanc or Viegar as the mastermind.

    I'd have gone with "Legitimate Businessman" (Corporate) Mundo myself, but the Blitz skin is clutch there.

    I get mad at people who call for surrender when our last two turrets are down and the enemy is working on our nexus. Maybe it's me but it seems kinda little too late at that point. Let them kill the damn thing.

    EDIT: My friend is saying that you get less IP for surrendering vs. fighting to the end. Seems like Surrendering is useless now.

    Actually, the correct response is to time it to get a double explosion.
    Because double explosions are the coolest way to lose.

    I wouldn't mind if they removed surrender from the game. Then maybe more good-for-nothing defeatists would learn to play from behind.

    This is not directed at you, Salvation, I understand your frustrations, though I don't agree very much with surrendering. What annoys me is people who want to surrender at 20 when teams are roughly equal except for a couple of kills to the other team. If a team is crushing, the game will end pretty fast no matter what.

    When two people disco 4 minutes in, we go down four turrets and ten kills, then they pop back in and won't surrender because NO GUYS THEIR TEAM TOTALLY FALLS OFF LATE GAME, they can fuck off and die.

    Then you pay off the other guys who where there with you when the two guy disconnected and get your surrender. How you do that is up to you. ;)

    There's no IP loss for surrendering as opposed to just losing.

    And yeah, I'd kill a hobo for a game restart option.

    Technically you'd miss out on some IP from the game being longer. There won't be any difference in IP from, say, a surrender at 30 minutes versus your base being destroyed at 30 minutes, though.

    Your friend is mistaken. Technically you can less IP in the sense that your game may end in an earlier time bracket, but for example if you surrender at 20 it's the same as losing at 24.

    I just had the silliest Vlad game. We ended it with around 40 kills on each team. It was like a bot game -- both teams could kill mans, but neither could really capitalize on an advantage. Our team pulled it slightly more together mid-game and hit more objectives and pushed more turrets.

    I went 10/3/16, and 2/3 deaths were straight-up because I'm a bad. :D

    Right, and if you surrender at 20 you can be in a different, less one-sided game sooner. I'd like to hope that most of these "no surrender!" apologists only have time for one game that evening or something, but I'm sure that's not a major fraction of them.

    And just to be clear, I have definitely seen surrenders by teams that had a real shot at winning. But in general I'd rather end it than drag 2-3 along an already uphill battle.

    I might be wrong but I don't think Karthus has enough burst? Plus if the enemy team has Soraka bot lane Karthus is deffinately going to do less damage due to Soraka's passive.

    Amumu Talon is a kill lane. Even if it looks like a silly kill lane, they'll still do more burst than most AD/Support lanes and the opponents should be playing passive as hell.

    Ever play against a Lee Sin/Yorick or Lee Sin/Jarvan bottom lane? They're a kill lane with sustain. It's terrifying.

    Well, that's a situation where you ban out soraka. Not to mention wall (MR shred)+toss (1:1 AP ratio+stun)+karthus aura thingy+lay waste+despair+tantrum=A lot of damage over 2 seconds or so
    If they don't get out of there in a hurry, they're in some real trouble. You can then push the fuck out of the lane and go dragon. Or something. Never really tried all my theories...

    yeh, who would guess that a champ that relies on massive farm to get a ridiculous AP would be bad in a no-farm fast game.

    most of the time when tier lists come up I always see "well x is good" but that doesn't really mean anything. you would want to quantify why they should be moved above other champions. (almost)all champions can be considered good. if they weren't then what is the point of them, riot doesn't say "hey lets make this crappy champion no one wants to play" even if rarely that ends up being the case(segooooni)

    Not too happy about these patch notes

    Alistar was already a huge asshole to deal with on any sort of basis. His ult has an extremely low cooldown and he is just aggravating in every respect, especially with the "lol rammed into a wall you're stunned" business. Leona is the same way but at least she telegraphs her attacks better. Ugh, Alistar

    Doesn't help that I'm on an AP Dominion binge. Does not help me at all

    Well spell flux does bounce. so at 1000 mana that's an extra 10 damage per bounce. Seems decent to me on top of the base damage.

    Well keep in mind its also accompanied by a couple other nerfs and its not always going to bounce ideally.

    It prioritizes Champions over Ryze now, so it won't waste a bounce on Ryze which is good, it can also bounce further. I don't think it was nerfed much aside from the missile speed and mana cost, but if you are building mana for Spell Flux then mana cost isn't a big issue.
