I'm thinking of making a comeback. I keep patching my game and staring at the play button, then just closing it again, lol.

I've never ragequit a game before, but the rage I felt sometimes when my team (when I was playing in the solomid comp) where being complete idiots is making me hesitate to return.

I always enjoyed playing with the TL peeps tho, like Southlight and Adeeler, etc.

So, basically, after that long preamble - has the game improved in any way since I was last around (which was back before the SC2 beta was announced)? Are you guys interested in having an old noob like myself make my return?

I'm going to play around with the lantern on my solo-pushing champs like master yi. Nice to have some way of watching your back whenever an opportunity presents itself, without paying an extra 90g.

Technically, there's a big advantage in one player buying a lantern on a team, as it does give considerable map control.

No, no no.
This item is definetly for junglers. Like tailormade and with an artikle (the new Journal of Justice) describing it as such. The passive is worthless except when fighting junglemobs where it´s absolutely excelent. In lane you either lasthit or you AOE nuke the Minions.
Also ANYONE should buy wards anyway, this item just saves you the trip back since that is inconvenitent for a jungler.

Is the game playable yet in terms of lag? I'm afraid to start of and find myself playing with 1 sec pauses every 5 seconds.

I was fine in games, although EzPz was complaining of lagspikes, but I think that was on his end, not the server.

No lag issues, at least for me.

in nubbie games I think that jungling is bad because your solo lane is going to feed all day and night :/

im duo queue with my brother, one of us just picks the jungler and the other calls 1v2 lane so its not a problem

and im using brees atm redtooth to play with my bro, might use inept later once the dust settles

Hmm what? A solo pusher usually lurks in the jungle on the side, especially with regards to the enemy jungle and dragon and such.

You don't need to start as a pure jungler to benefit from the lantern at all.

In the player list it says inept is inertinept and brees is brees.
Who's inept and who's brees.

This MAY blow your mind, but...
THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON :O
Inept and inertinept got banned from TL and LoL, so he switched to brees.

So far, of 5 ranked games I have won 4. Half of them because of disconnects. Also, MUNDO.

ive come up with a possible panth build, and im wondering how well it would work. Since hss tickles, i decided to think of a build that maximizes on the use of W as the main 'staple panth skill' sort of like hss was before. The reasoning behind it being that it scales on ap, and so does his ult. You may say, 'so what', but with 1:1 ap scaling, both hit surprisingly hard with an ap build. So therefore, you would level with priority R>W>Q>E, probably getting E in at some point early for the autocrit (which helps alot with last-hitting), but this is probably more of a preference thing. This sort of leveling pattern would maximize on that extra .5 second stun.

Items would probably be something like (not necessarily in this order) guinsoo's, nashor's tooth, haunting guise, voidstaff, etc. (i have to think/experiment more with this), basically getting hybrid items for ap (w/r) and the ad helping out with spear and general auto-atk.

anyways, i feel like im gonna get flamed for this, but the reason i bring it up was that in an inhouse i played a while back, i went straight ap pantheon (4 lulz ofcourse) and was suprised at how much dmg aegis and skyfall did to tanks with lots of hp and mres, (they weren't tank champs persay, this was a 4lulz game as i said, but they had lots of hp/mres items), and i wanted to see if i could actually create a new panth build centered around these skills. Comments/suggestions/gtfo troll you suck, all welcome.
