it's a stylistic decision on the game's part. you don't have to like it, but there's nothing inherently wrong with the graphics.

personally I like them. I sorta hate the realism trends in video games. They're games, they're meant to be fun, so what's wrong with them being cartoony? I understand the appeal of gritty and realistic graphics in some games, but I have no idea why it would be a turn off if a game didn't take that stylistic route unless the game is trying to be an immersion experience (first person games, RPGs mostly). But even in that type of game, I think I tend to enjoy graphics that aren't fixated on trying to look realistic.

Not to say that I don't like cartoon graphics, I just think it feels more like sc graphics with the settings low

Hahah, our team build just didn't have enough damage; I'd ping them all with Tibbers and Incin and when I look again they were at full hp from Taric

Ok I'm gonna play the 3v3 goa tournament. Our actual setup is Annie / Sivir / Taric. What do you guys think? We are very unsure about Sivir but can't really figure anything better at the moment

Has anyone tried running multiple mejai (2, or even 3) on a caster, then selling the spares when you cap out? The cap is 20 no matter how many you have, but the stacks scale linearly (so with 3 an assist is +3 and a kill is +6).

On a similar note, has anyone tried stacking archangel's staves, especially on ryze? I know he's kinda mediocre, but it claims its passive is non-unique, so with 3 of them you'd get +1200 mana, +6% of your mana as AP, and +135 AP. It seems like the +mana, +% mana as AP, and +mana per cast bonuses would work really well together.

Sivir is not good on TT at all. Her ult's very good in open places and pushing but the map is just too small for that. Replace with another physical that has a disable or great burst would be good. (a jax, wolf maybe, poppy, shaco) provided your guy knows how to play them.

@above
stacking archangels do work, still a waste of money though :/

Have you actually done the math on this? Specifically on Ryze, and specifically AFTER getting Zhonya's, I think 2x Archangel is actually an excellent option.

Most games will end by the time you finish a single Zhon and Archangel, and you'll usually need survival items, anyways.

I think in a 3v3 you should aim for early game lane domination and snowballing your advantage. Obviously depends on who your teammates like to play, but this seems like a pretty good line up.

Went to Target, found the LoL collector's edition for $7.50.
Seeing there's the 20 champions [Already had 4 though] and a $10 RP card, I grabbed it.

So yea, just though I'd tell you guys, dunno if it is for everywhere though.

We actually got destroyed in most team fights; we managed to sneak off with mid inhib after they flubbed a team fight (locust chased me from tower to their lizard, and the rest of my team beat their four), and they never recovered, as a draw-fight at Baron led to a Siv solo-push of bot tower, and then when mid-inhib went back up we forced a fight in their jungle - we lost but they lost bot mid inhib AND bottom inhib, and we lost like the next 4 team fights but they never got their inhibs back up, so their final kamikaze push semi-worked but they traded their team + throne for our mid tower.

I think if they turtled a bit more, and if locust hadn't gone apeshit to kill me, they could have/should have won.

Didn't feel like there was a significant skill-level drop anywhere, tbh. Corn and Erha felt like they were on a different level, though, and to an extent L0cust.
