2 of the 3 games have been over an hour long and ended by somebody backdooring the opposing nexus while the opposing team pushes into their base.

Apparently it's XPeke Day here in NA, cause LoLPro in the challenger series just pulled off a win by doing it as well.

Raikaria · « **Reply #65 on:** August 24, 2014, 07:49:22 AM »

Wait; interesting things happened in the LCS when I'm sleeping during it because it started really late my time?

Dangit.

Clearly they have been taking lessons from EU. NA does tend to do what EU does a few weeks behind. Clearly it was finally time for the XPeke'ing to catch up.

Nothing can stop the Curse 4th place train

I've decided to stop watching CLG games live. Too stressful.

gammaraptor · « **Reply #68 on:** August 25, 2014, 03:06:49 PM »

CLG can rotate to Korea, but they can't rotate Curse out of 4th place.

Nothing can dislodge Curse from 4th place. It is impossible for Curse to come in any other position.

Although Curse coming 4th would be better than any NA team has done since S1 worlds. So maybe the Curse of Curse is good if they ever make it to worlds.

Suikama · « **Reply #70 on:** August 25, 2014, 06:31:39 PM »

Even if they didn't make it to worlds, that would literally put them at 4th place once again :V :V :V

Stingy too considering people were given a 6,300 champion for free last year if they didn't have Elise before.

[Yes I got Elise for free]

Schezo · « **Reply #73 on:** August 25, 2014, 10:50:45 PM »

Fuck Morgana

Though this means I'm wrong about Lucian yasuo victorious/championship

Suikama · « **Reply #74 on:** August 26, 2014, 07:26:30 PM »

And then out of nowhere, a new champion

Behold Darude, The Emperor of the Sandstorms _Kappa

Sahgren · « **Reply #75 on:** August 26, 2014, 07:57:21 PM »

That was fast. I wasn't expecting another champion for months.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #76 on:** August 26, 2014, 08:18:38 PM »

Considering that I read just yesterday that Riot would not do (seemingly anyway) a sand mage anytime soon, I feel cheated.

Also what the fuck is this champion.

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #77 on:** August 26, 2014, 08:29:43 PM »

Shurelia's been feeding them stuff, because this is most definitely Alice: The Champion

Raikaria · « **Reply #78 on:** August 26, 2014, 08:38:10 PM »

Also The next featured game mode involves Shiruma the Crystal Scar and Xerath

Seriously seeing as the big Shiruma event that has been teased for ages [And this has probobly been in development for a whie seeing all the teasers hidden like Cass and Sivir's new lore] is happening AND SURPRISE SURPRISE XERATH IS CENTRAL TO IT people are in outright denial if they think the ultimate is anyone but Xerath at this point. I fully expect the ultimate skin to hit the PBE very soon to tie into this.

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #79 on:** August 27, 2014, 04:42:46 AM »

I think people don't realize Vel'Koz has damage.

Lissandra thought that just because she could stop my ultimate with hers it should be pretty easy to kill me!

Except not. Because she E'd and I E'd her immediately before she cast a spell, then WQ and the second hit from the W killed her, no damage taken.

First death was a one-for-one against Lissandra, others were because my toplane gnar said "GP has no damage" and I'm like "ok" and then I die and then I press tab. Others were because of seriously horrible positioning.

This was a tri-q, btw, me gnar and fiddles, pretty easy game overall despite its length.

PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT I DO DAMAGE BY PRESSING BUTTONS

Basically, because of delays, Braum and Gnar were pushed back significantly.

Azir is them getting back on track.

Iryan · « **Reply #81 on:** August 27, 2014, 08:05:03 AM »

...so. From what I see, Azir is like a cross between Zed and Syndra, but with autoattacking. This... will be interesting.

Unrelatedly, I thought "man, I haven't played ranked on NA in forever, maybe I should do ten games just so that I can keep my border". Apparently, not a great idea. Did three games, all losses. First one was largely my fault (adc with 240 ping is arghlblarghl, and then it turns out my lane opponents are two duoing plat smurfs), second and third I was support and we won our lane (though not stompingly) before getting buttbumped by overfed mid- and toplaners. :V

Maybe I'll do the remaining 7 games next week, but unless I win half of those, I am probably gonna end up in bronze anyways, and then what's the point. :derp:

Team builder 2 fun.

Me 2 lazy.

Also there's some sort of tiebreaker going on in Korea. SKT1 vs SAMSUNG White.

Thing is; SKT is 2-0 down and atm I don't like their teamcomp much. [Graves; Annie; Mundo; Elise; Zilean. OK... so... uh... their lategame damage is all on a 500 range ADC?]

If they do make it to worlds, it'll be close, I'm guessing they'd have to bring it to a game 5 to beat C9 just because of how damn well C9 does in tourney situations (whereas Free!LG completely shits the bed).

Its pretty much 100% at this point that C9 and LMQ will make it to Worlds (sorry TSM, LMQ has and will keep shitting on you.) I think it would be Amazing if TSM and CRS fought it out (Xpecial vs Turtle!) in a highstakes 3rd place match though.

And please, they will find a way to be 4th place, even if it means getting 4th place in worlds (CRS or DIE).

Mr. Sacchi · « **Reply #86 on:** August 27, 2014, 11:54:56 PM »

Cassiopeia rework up on the PBE: Everything's damage has been reduced but E now gains bonus scaling per level and she has a new passive.

The new passive gains a stack for every second that there is a poisoned target or when a poisoned target dies, every 25 stacks she gains a bonus 1% AP, caps at 375 stacks.

At 50 stacks her E heals her (base + 0.1 AP which I think is a bit high for a heal on a 0.5 second cd but we'll see)
At 150 stacks cassiopeia gains 30% cdr (kinda stupid tbh but not nearly as good as it sounds since the E proc doesn't work with cdr)
At max stacks the bonus AP from the passive doubles (30% total, probably scales multiplicatively with rabadon's)

What do you guys think? People are freaking out about it but frankly i don't see anything but the heal being a problem since she's low range and has a fairly low mana pool for the amount of spells she has to use (which her previous passive was supposed to mitigate).

Sahgren · « **Reply #87 on:** August 28, 2014, 12:24:22 AM »

I personally like the change. I can't really think of any hyper-carry mages outide of Karthus and Ryze, who're unpopular and a top laner respectively, so it's nice to see them pushing that character type a bit. Besides, they can always tune the numbers if she gets problematic.

Edit: I guess there's Vlad too. It's been so long since I've seen a Vlad that I kinda forgot he exists...
