Got UrfWick for 5 RP because I'm not a chump. Though I can't quite afford it now if it's 150K IP, maybe after my refund.

Although if Grey Warwick is a thing I'll probably do that for myself instead.

Grey Warwick and Medieval Twitch can now drop from honor capsules.

the people that are going to have enough runes purchased for this to matter are the people that already own or almost own every champion

Last word from Riot on that so far is people will keep their pages, despite the fact that pages will be editable in champ select. No compensation.
I don't really care about compensation from runes tbh, but I bought rune pages because for a while it was just kind of silly to only own 2-3 rune pages since there were so many different relevant runes on different champions. It wasn't exactly required, and it wasn't even necessary but back a couple seasons ago there were just some champions that wouldn't cut it with the standard AD/MPen runes, Magic Resist Blues, and Armor Yellows. If I could get compensation for the rune pages I bought that would be neat since there's no reason to have more than 2-3 anymore.

no no you see you should feel happy because now you still have those rune pages for the added convenience of never having to change runes while in champ select! surely this is worth not getting your money back on something that is now free to everyone, right

to people that actually listen to metal, does anyone actually like pentakill

I'm not a huge fan of Metal but I thought the first Pentakill album was very decently produced, and certainly miles ahead of stuff like ETC. I liked the instrumental tracks, they have a very industrial vibe. This second album feels a bit more generic and it flies over my head.

I'm sad about two things regarding Pentakill:

First that they'll be performing at World's instead of any other better band
Second that Riot doesn't know their audience well enough to know that a K-Pop band would have probably sold like 5x as many CDs and they can make a bunch MORE Popstar skins

edit: They literally brought in the Dragonforce singer to do this band. At least ETC were a bunch of Blizzard guys' side project

Yeah as fun as their first album is for a Metal band I'd take anything over them for Worlds. I don't know the story behind it though but it seems to me like it was originally a pet project of the musician? Kinda like Battle Pets in WoW was a pet project of the interface team when it ran out of things to do and not something deliberated from the start.

Pentakill are better than they have any right to be all things considered, but that still results in them just being ok, nothing amazing.

K-Pop and the fan culture around it suck, fight me :colbert:

Imagine Dragons playing their lovely discography outside of like two enjoyable songs in front of a bunch of Koreans wasn't much better either.

I'm not a big power metal fan as Dragonforce is just something you listen to in your teens but I can appreciate the attempt to expose internet dwelling dorks to genres of music that aren't some apathetic hipster and his buddies crooning next to their acoustic guitars or the four bazillionth techno song.

That's a v generous definition of metal imo. I guess there's like, Babymetal in Japan? Idk

My theory is that some OGN producer just time traveled in from the early aughts and has a lot of opinions on music.

I feel like nami is gonna make a resurgence, mana isn't an issue with coin, she itemizes well with the standard support builds right now, her bouncing heal works super well with ardent in teamfights, and her ult is solid mix of offense and defense.

I'm at 8/3 on her in the last week and been playing against plat 5-4 teams for the most part. Friend and I recently started grinding ranked again and I feel dominant in p much every lane with nami, basically only exception is when my adc picks ezreal (I think that's 2 of the 3 losses).

Nami's definitely still strong. I feel like her biggest roadblock will still always be how goddamn hard it is to aim Aqua Prison successfully. It's seriously one of the most difficult skillshots in the game to land.

I was laning against an Elementalist Lux in my last game, and she kept asking me to tell her which form she should take. I muted her after maybe three minutes and by the end of the game all eight other players were shouting at her in allchat to just. shut. the. gently caress. up! Needless to say, her team lost. Just as planned.
