If you want a caster to try hard with english you'll end up with lines involving wicket splitting bagel breadstick hammer dropping etc. They're professional orators, they should have mastery of the language. A random Joe Jackass off the street shouldn't have a larger vocabulary than someone who gets paid to describe things to a live audience for a living =P Al Michael's doesn't get Shakespearean when he describes football plays and start making nonsensical terms just to keep it fresh. But he doesn't go "Phenomenal Tackle! Phenomenal Catch! Phenomenal Throw! Phenomenal Punt Return! Phenomenal Kick! Phenomenal ass on that cheerleader!". Yeah, he's a thousand but the dude has been crushing sports casting forever. I don't know if people need to read more, or take a creativity class, or like learn 10 new words a week from the dictionary or what. But IMO regurgitating the same terminology isn't professional. If someone uses a word too often in a book or article you rightfully think to yourself "This is written like shit!" it's no different when you're talking instead of writing it down. | ||

I guess I agree with the thing I can't really disagree with. But my level of annoyance is very low. Like dislike elevator music for the short time I am in the elevator low.

Also, do you drop items that you are using if you lose? do you 'steal' the ones people are wearing? | ||

At the end of a match I see some items like storm-stealer's armor etc, but when I go to my arsenal they are not there o.o Also, do you drop items that you are using if you lose? do you 'steal' the ones people are wearing? You mean in the end there are drops? Only the ones getting in the red box on the lower left corner is for you. It shows items that drops to the other players as well. So if you are blue and pink got an item you will see it. It says below the item the name of the person who got it. No, cosmetics doesn't drop. You keep them forever unless you sell/trade them away. It's just for cosmetic purposes and does not increase your heroes power/whatever | ||
