Just a note: if Riot had an actually functional observer mode, they'd be transmitting these games to the LoL client. This means they'd only need to send info about what's going on (probably a few kilobytes a second, if that) rather than FMV (hundreds of times that). The "RayV" player steals bandwidth from anyone who installs it to try to alleviate this, but it still seems dumb. Even dumber since we can't read player names, creep/kill scores, or even recognize some item blobs.

Way to go Riot dev priorities. But hey, I'm sure this suite of characters being released is helping the game be more newbie-friendly, fun, and fully-featured.

Is the quality terribad for BW also?

It's decent, just make sure to change the language to Korean since the US commentators are clueless.

Just like for SC2: The people who work on new champs etc. are not the same as the people who work at the engine etc.. Network programmer designing a new champ, lol. Game designer trying to produce networking code, ROFL.

I don't get the Anivia ban... I would've banned garen and taric for sure, unless they're going to pick them.

Also, as said by phreak, picking sona so early doesn't look like the best idea. But I think it didn't affect the lineups at all.
