craps I like.

Holy crap, Cloud 9 with the meltdown of the year this morning.  I did not expect that.  So sad.

man I've been looking for VOD of a game they played.. which they didn't play.  Just talking about the meteos bit then eh

Lol, I was just checking out new stuff on Steam and saw that one of my most played games ever suddenly appeared:

I was playing that game in 1996.  Surprised its still around, although it seems like all the remaining people are in the stupid newbie zones.

I totally remember playing that game.

Learned something new about the updated hud - in addition to being able to see teammate ult time cooldowns, you can see summoner spell timers by pressing tab (your team only)

Any of you have a better idea how to explain how life steal and spell vamp work?  Or better yet, rename the terms so they make more sense.

For those that don't know - life steal applies to all auto attacks.  Spell vamp applies to any ability (phyiscal/magic dont matter.

Life steal applies to autoattack abilities - like ez q.  

jungle start school w/ saint

LOL COWCULATED!

feel like you missed a pretty good opportunity there bud

I'm guessing folks already read about the gp and mf updates.  COol stuff there.  This new feature game mode sounds found though... depending on balance ofc. 

One of the mechanics of dg I always enjoyed was purchasing upgrades - gold upgrades, minion, etc.  Well the new game mode is all about buying minion upgrades

take a look

Patch notes also out

and the patch is being delayed.. talk about a news day

and riot has apparently invested 30 mil into curse... you know.. curse voice...

Curse is a LOT more than just Curse Voice. Its original claim-to-fame is mostly as an add-on manager for WoW. It also runs like.. most of the popular wikis for video games (except, LoL funny enough).

Riot may be thinking that with HotS being released, a partnership with Curse means that they can poach Blizzard-loyal players due to well-timed advertisement and services. Or other advertising options.

It also could be Tencent is actually doing the investing, not Riot Games, which would explain the astronomically high amount.

i doubt that it is purely out of goodwill or ONLY for eventual integration into the LoL Client 2.0.

ah - that's a very good point.  Very curious.  Does seem like a big price tag any rate.  Even if its 30 mil in advertising, idk, just kind of steep.  Still, curious to see if anything comes out of this.  I'm still, still, still, thinking this has something to do with direct integration into the new client so all players can opt in our out of chat automatically.

Riot is loaded, with or without Tencent.  They're a billion dollar a year industry, dropping thirty million on something probably isn't even enough to dent their profit down below the previous year, they jumped to over a billion from the 600 million plus in revenue they made in 2013, even if 2015 is a lackluster year for growth, they'll probably still come up ahead.

methinks this new champ with kalista is perhaps too strong
