Have you tried going to a Chiropractor? I messed up my back a bit when I was younger and going to a chiropractor for a year really helped me out.

In case anyone hasn't seen re: preseason

#sc2 expansion is live NOW

Sorry, no Bitchcraft II tonight.  Our homey true Bryff needs his team together for some Ranked Rewards.  

Stoked that he got one of his own after getting so many other people Pentas by getting them fed with awesome ganks.

Bryff doesn't play league of legends any more. A girlfriend is ruining his life and sucking all of his free time into a bottomless pit that can only end in pain and suffering.

Correction - Bryff plays 1 game every 6 months.  He plays extremely well though.

patch notes are out - preseason is upon on.  So many new things to love and hate

I would summarize patch notes as:

Everybody is getting nerfed except ADCs.  They get buffs.

Also, the bounty changes are really weird.  The amount of net gold that one team gets over the other is REALLY not very much (really only a few minions) after that bounty gets collected.  The only difference is that the bounty gets spread out now, while the team with the original kills gets it concentrated.  You could get really weird situations where if a support gets a few early kills and then gets their bounty collected, it might not have even been worth getting the kills.

If you guys are around tonight, I have 69 of the 75 ward points.  Just looking to win a few games to complete that if possible.  It would be good to spend a night with the crew.

Sorry I missed ya, Bryff.  Looked like a bunch of folks were on, so hopefully you got in a game or 2 w/ folks.  

Toss out some feedback as we go through preseason here.  We are in phase 1 where everything is shiny and fun - phase 2 for me will be whinging about things.  

Did you make it to 75 Bryff?

Haven't played it yet, but some random tips/ things I've been reading

• Make sure you create mastery pages before you queue up - all mastery pages have been reset
• There are no longer home guard upgrades - EVERYONE gets homeguard at 20 minutes auotmatically
• Green wards are gone - you can buy pinks - the rest of the vision game is supposed to come from your trinkets and sightstone
• I think I'm remembering this from live, but the minons and jungle camps spawn 15 seconds earlier than normal (minons 1:15, camps 1:35)
• There are new starting items, suggest you fire up a custom and check those out before playing a game.
• Pots are different - fire up a custom and check those out before playing a game
• Trinkets auto-upgrade now

Other support specific thoughts - the new mastery that shares damage should give a pretty huge advantage imo if you ever end up in a lane vs a non tank support or a support that logically wouldn't take the new mastery that shares dmg.  People are not going to understand how this works initially (my guess anyway).  Which means they will think there is an all in opportunity where there is very much not one.  Could be a good opportunity for tanky supports to run exh instead of ign.  Maybe not.  

Bot lane vision game will be pretty much exactly like it was last season if I'm following. The support will still get a SS.  You can absolutely punish a support choosing not to get SS on first back now as they can't pick up greens to supplement vision.  This should (in my mind anyway) open up some gank opportunities.  

Any other thoughts folks have to get in our heads pregame time?

Don't play ap champions. Go adc mid or ad assassin's. Ap item nerfs are massive except for 1 or 2 champions who items didn't get touched (nashors tooth, abyssal). Play champions with very hard engage tools in other roles because league is even more so about killing the adc now (malphite, zac, leona, alister, pantheon, elise).

Another couple tips

• If you are in a farm lane as adc - start with the cull item -ex they go raka, you go cull.   Pretty much skip cull if its a lane with decent engage.  
• Creep value is up - so more money from csing. 
• Ambient gold is up so you get more gp/s
• Not remember this one right, but at least the person with the lowest gold after x minutes (I think 20) gets a bonus gp/s bump to help get them back into it a bit

Any masteries sound particularly op on any champs?  Kench and absorbing dmg for someone sounds pretty strong for instance.
