    the three physical items that were nerfed were all must buys on almost every physical god, especially quinn's

    the first bit means that the gold count and whatnot of enemies will be hidden from the tab screen until someone on your team actually sees them

    and presumably only updates when someone on your team sees them

    it already works that way for their item builds

    On the main in-game UI, enemy levels only update when you see them, so basically they're making the scoreboard match that functionality because it's kinda silly for UI elements to work differently like that.

    Yeah, it's in the options somewhere. You can also check for a new camera mode that fixes your pitch so you don't look up into the heavens whenever you need to aim a skill farther away (this will be on by default tomorrow)

    And another one next week, if I was listening to the stream right.

    With possibly more Merc nerfs that they're testing.

    SKT T1 vs. KT Bullets is starting.

    The crowd is RIDICULOUSLY hype, and Monte just dropped a bit of esports history on us about how this is the biggest esports rivalry in Korea, going back like a decade through various games, with the two teams' sponsors being the biggest telecommunication businesses in the country.

    This set is going to be awesome.

    They own a large piece of them, as they bought out the original VC's, but most of the ownership is still with Ryze/Trynd. The Trynd AMA recently clarified that.

    smite patch is live

    Two Hunter builds I want to mess with after the Qin's nerf:

    1) Death's Toll -> Tabi 1 -> Devourer's Gloves -> Warrior Tabi -> Qin's -> Rage -> Deathbringer -> Titan's
    2) Death's Toll -> Tabi 1 -> Heartseeker -> Bloodforge -> Warrior Tabi -> Qin's -> Rage/Titan's/Deathbringer (2 of 3)

    I feel like Heartseeker is really important for early trading, but Devourer's Gloves is a much better lifesteal item than Bloodforge. I don't think Heartseeker + Devourer's Gloves is practical; too much stacking, and stacking too far into the midgame.

    This really surprises me given that all the news around the time made it sound like it was a majority stake; the first news article I could pull up said that they invested $400M, which valued Riot at ~$480M, indicating a clear majority stake. I also can't find anything in the AMA regarding Tencent or ownership with Ryze, and Wikipedia has a sourced link saying it was a majority share purchase. Do you actually have a link to Tryndamere saying that he Tencent doesn't have majority control?

    Also as much as the "Chinese Wukong" theory is neat, I think the only one with a specifically large Chinese scene is DotA, and it's currently only at "Wu-Kong is confirmed and in the game as an overpowered secret boss" right now. And I guess League got Wukong after being bought out entirely by Tencent, but I think it's more just that he's a cool character than anything being specifically Chinese about him.

    Yeah I mean it makes sense wukong is in all of them since he's a big deal in that part of the world

    Wukong was in LoL way before Tencent bought any part of them, I think.

    I'm pretty sure he goes back to the Monkey King Bar item that used to be in the WCIII DotA.... and somebody finally went "welp, if his staff is in already..."

    Nope. Tencent bought in early 2011, Wukong was released mid-late 2011.

    jesus this patch broke my everything

    I patched, and then had to reinstall, and now that I have, it wants to download a patch again, and god damn it all

    I'm not going to have time to play until tonight but I had hoped to at least get it patched and ready before going out the door

    and that seemed reasonable at the time since I had two hours to spare when I started

    considering the lead time of champion development is like 8 months, its easy to say he was in the works well before tencent got invovled

    Tencent was also one of the major investors in Riot and business deals also have leadtime, plus I'm pretty sure leadtime was lower in the two release a month period. I think it's impossible to say either way if Wukong was influenced by their choice in ownership.

    This happened to me with patch 0.1889.0

    I eventually had to manually uninstall (using a manual uninstaller given to me by HiRez Support), then go into my registry and find one or two additional registry keys left behind, and then delete the SMITE-related shit in My Documents

    Then reinstall

    It was, uh, not a fun process to debug. Especially when in between each attempt you have to download a 4GB patch.

    after significant testing i have come to the conclusion that a) ezreal is still pretty damn good and b) i think he ruins jinx

    Yeah but how well can he fend off the beefy support protecting her while she farms up? If he fails to disrupt her enough in laning phase what does he do as Jinx massively outscales him? And even if he does come out of laning phase ahead can he handle the a top lane enemy that has at least a brutalizer and a sunfire/thornmail by then? Or at least can he handle them without hitting his Q every time? Jinx's strength right now isn't her ability to duel or counter other ADC's it's her later game scaling and her ability to actually do damage to enemy bruisers and tanks.

    I know most champs right now are still viable at our level (Silver) but I think it's undeniable that Ezreal is one of many ADC's right now that has the odds stacked against him considering the entire class is pretty weak in general right now.

    The reason they put Wukong in was for the Chinese launch (IIRC) to help boost interest. Smart marketing move.

    Trynd didn't say Tencent doesn't have majority stock but he did claim they don't have any creative control. They are an investor with "ZERO operational influence" according to him.

    The upside to this drastic change in the meta is silver and bronze players picking "OP champs" in ranked that they don't actually no how to play. An opposing team in solo q last night had Shyv, Annie, and Kassadin but we ended up taking nexus in 26 minutes.
