Business trips been extended for another 19 days beyond the original extension of 7 days.

I left on the 23rd and now I'm not getting back until the 23rd. I can't stop exceeding expectations.

I'm even being given people to manage for the last 12! AND I was given a :krad: rental car.

I'm definitely going to need someone to play league for me.

You're being given additional responsibilities. These should correspond with more money just sayin'.

I think on supps like nami, janna, and raka, its p easy to get S as long as you dont position badly and die. Zyra is p easy too cause she's a dirty killstealer. Tanks yeah i think more happens if your opponents play into you, but i still prolly get them about one in 4 or 5 games.

I wish they'd switch Miss Fortune's W back. I hate playing her now that she doesn't have the strongest level 1 and 2 all-in of ADCs. That was her whole point.

You're in trouble then because owning so loving hard on Cassiopeia that you cap a full build off with a Triforce is a red flag for their boosting game filter.

I've tried it a few times i just really like the crutch of scouting dark jungles out with ghosts before placing riskier wards.

Plus it does sometimes help on champs like nami or zyra to set up your cc or force a flash.

I agree its prolly better tho as im always wishing i had one more ward and it'd be nicer on inventory space.

You can pretty much scout anywhere as Janna, you can disengage almost anything off of yourself and you are fast as the motherfuckin' wind.

Which is hard to do if your team is a bunch of solo q'ers who don't help with vision at all and you're up against a fed mid lb and jungle kha.

Not saying fqc is ideal but it really is invaluable for getting wards in dark jungles or scouting objectives when your the only one on your team that cares about vision and i have saved several games by scouting out deathbushes or checking baron baits with it. I think the better your team coordinates the better the blue sightstone is I just also feel much more safe on nami with it.

Silver III bard main feels what you're putting down, my friend. My build has enough actives at this point (FQ, Locket, sometimes zzrot or mikaels) that the ruby sight stone isn't a terrible buy either.

This is actually a really good post. I don't make that much money though.
