shyvana bodies xin zhao and no one bans or picks her, and she's also not getting nerfed in 7.24. Be shyvana.

What are the best runes for her? I just went against one who farmed her jungle hilariously quick. Like she was level 10 by the time everyone was level 8.

shyvana is so broken

I ban her every game. Her jungle speed is atrociously fast. She can get to lvl 6 when everyone else is like 4 or barely 5.

Is it just me or is Eve just amazing to play? If you take advantage of how your passive heal works, you can be pretty much full hp on your level 3 gank at top or mid. Or just keep trucking by getting river Harolds and rock dudes if there's nothing available.

Once you have your Protobelt and finished jungle item, you can practically one shot people with electrocute.

It's pretty hard to counter a complete free escape if they're quick with their fingers. It was like having a super flash for him due to how stopwatch works.

they most certainly do have the means (bags of money) and the talent (they've hoovered up an incredible amount of designers, engineers and startup game studios over the years) but they're incredibly mismanaged. pretty much everything they take a shot at gets shut down since they're not interested in trying anything that doesn't feel like a guaranteed LoL-level success.

I get the sense the guys in charge got extremely lucky with league and now are completely out of their depth in terms of actual experience and decision making. I think some of the original interns are leads now within their studio which is pretty funny. Reading Riots glassdoor reviews are hilarious.

Also first free to play model I think. And they had free play tests via dota 1 at the time. Just grab hero abilities and randomize so you don't get sued.

Edit whoops just realized I repeated what you said.

That article is pretty damning. They also listed a ton of ex rioter twitter accounts that confirm. Even a rape mightve happened? Oh geez.

I think its revenge too. The bad actors within riot have the power to destroy careers. I can understand people not wanting to be known unless they exited the games industry.

Seems fitting for Riot at this point. So funny how they hate blizzard but secretly want to be them. Too bad the usual sexist bro poo poo is what's stopping them from growing via lovely leadership.

In better news, that's pretty neat. They should make more of these and finish them. Looks better than their usual champ teaser stuff.

Lee sin and riot in general is out of their league. The league of legends.

Feb 9, 2005
Haha what a riot right guys?

Honestly though I thought PAX panels were a bunch of fans in a room asking questions that the general public doesnt care about. Are they predator dens now? I generally like the idea of female only and such but seems really poorly planned. KInda seems like a last minute decision.

Well the fact they fired someone and apparently the place is on fire internally still is news to me.

I hope Blitz becomes a permanent mode. They need to add more crazy poo poo and its replaced aram for me.

I know you guys are like lol dead gay forums but I imagine if people on here are talking like this. Loads more are probably having similar conversations.

Its too bad riot leadership is this loving bad at this poo poo. Somehow sexist, stupid, greedy, and garbage at literally the easiest poo poo. I'm guessing they just hired all their bro buds when they lucked into this whole thing because god drat are they bad at literally everything.

Maybe when they finally put that s on the end, it'll be for a federal investigation or out of business.

Yeah that did seem pretty stupid. The other guy though, Mattius didn't seem to deserve it.

That's an amazing breakdown and pretty accurate I bet.

You're right I think but here's how it looks.

Riot games is a sexism nightmare in their management. Kotaku leak. Management then pivots to be the forefront of diversity. They then fire one of their guys who's pushing for it. He's also black and a very vocal member of black lives matters political group according to his twitter.

Like I dunno. It looks and reads like retards are running the show from the outside.

Buckwheat Sings
Feb 9, 2005
Then there's the other guy. The black guy that got fired from a company that stated they were going to be leaders in diversity.

Buckwheat Sings
Feb 9, 2005
That black dude isnt Daniel and his only negative was liking Daniel's tweets.

Daniel shouldve gotten fired. Not too sure about firing mattius as well.

Leaders of diversity. Just the tip. No doesnt always mean no. Girls only. Heck maybe even rape for all we know.

What a riot.

Pretty much but they both get like 30 million a year according to the leak.

Trailers like this are usually done by places like blur studio, axis animation, digic, and sometimes even weta. The idea is to trick players into thinking it was done by riot or who ever commissioned em. Think every E3 ever.

Anyways well find out after a few weeks or months or whenever this event is over who actually did it.

Anyone they hire will rule towards whatever benefits the management the most since management are the ones who are paying them.

A company that rules towards employees wouldnt last long as no company would actually hire them.

Capitalism is the best.

Eve is good in Aram due to her free passive healing and free engage after level 6. Her Q is good for snagging assist gold and farming.

Nothing really overpowered but all just solid stuff. Like Brand and company are way better but she's not a bad pick.

Yeah it's only on pbe but easy to get your account linked off of the riot website.

Wait times are like 50+ minutes for logging in, which I've never seen before. Guess this is riots game 2, heh.

I mean all jokes aside, this is basically their game 2.

It's pretty fun provided you're willing to wait through the horrible login times.

The only good thing about Elise, is if you win while her spiders are up, you deal more damage since there's more units on the board.

Fiora is goddamned horrible though. Even if you stack her thinking her immunity move will keep her alive, her ult attack speed is so slow that it's a liability on her.
