I will be on tonight.  Had a rough couple of days the last two... had to do a turn-around, and apparently HAD to go to this obon festival... got a new pet.  Will be on about 630 central.  or if pacov wakes me up with his stream.

 EDIT: Or not... seems they are having issues atm.

folks around for ranked 5's tonight?  Happy to fill.  Hoping for some more competitive games.... ended up playing quite a bit more time with newer players lately than I'd like.  Not super fun, but nice to help on board some folks for madcast anyway. 

On a side note, been having fun playing yi lately.  Nice to play a carry jungler from time to time eh.

I should be around tonight. I am playing pretty terribly lately and not sure why though....

Welp, login servers are down.  Looks like no LoL for anybody who isn't already logged in.

I was about to get in a game before this crap broke.  Guy from MC joins my lobby, says afk 5 min - must take shit and leaves.  Host of game doesn't boot him.  He comes back 5 min later - servers down.  @#!*&$*@$& *(@#&$

Playing a game over on LAN

Yay!  NA back online.

Low level team builder on LAN = wtf is going on btw.   Played 2-3 games last night over there and then a few games on NA once i finally got on.  Be on NA tonight then.. maybe we have 5 of us for ranked then if riot servers work n stuff..

@Cow n' the team

Think I'm done with Ranked 5's.

Been playing quite a bit on my smurf account and doing mostly Ranked games and some Normals with some lower level IRL friends along with also playing ARAMs more often along with some Teambuilder with MC folks.  That has caused playing competitively with you guys to not be much fun any more for these reasons:

- Trying to play as much Top and Mid as possible has left the roles that you guys are going to need me to play pretty rusty.

- Playing the low Silver meta has made my decision making and mid/late game playstyle to be a bit off.

From the recent games I've experienced, the formula of taking Bryff, Cow, and Karl who are extremely specialized and dialed into their chosen role and plugging in the bot lane with people like me who have been slumming around in lower level games in non-bot lane roles... Well, I think you guys have reached the Ranked 5's MMR where that's not really going to cut it.

Good luck getting that Gold and please don't hesitate to send me an invite for Normals!

We played pretty well as a team last night. The first game was extremely rough but Dan's preformance kept us in the game. Two team fights in a row we Aced them despite being behind 16k gold and then 12k gold respectively. The last team fight was played especially good by everyone. Nobody on there team got to touch Dan and key targets were focus and kill first (kha, trist).

Not much to say about the following game other than really good laning by everyone and some nice ganks by Karl (especially on poor ziggs).

Promo #3 lets go!

Was nice to get a few ranked games in with folks.  Is the promo best of 3 or 5?  No idea

re: thunders post - hey - whatever you find fun, bro.  Hope you've been enjoying playing it up with you other pals, though.  I feel like king poop over on LAN (where my jackass yi is highly celebrated).   Seriously, if you think team builder is jacked up here, its something altogether more jacked on LAN.  Anyway, feels good to be the best on the team.    Sorry you aren't into it anymore, though, but its not worth doing if its not fun for you of course. 

mega64 almost cured als

Doing another ranked vid series analyzing my ranked games (what did I do well, what did I do poorly, and how did the team do).  I spend quite a bit of time discussing bot lane in this 1st vid.  Check it out if its of interest to you:
