What are some of the top sites for calculating ones skill with different league champs? Also, Are there any that are utilizing the new stats from the new match history? like lolskill or lolking?

Let me answer your question with another: Why would you play LoL in the first place? There's a better game called SC2

Ok, so when you get addicted to drugs, eventually you develop a tolerance to what you're taking so that, with each successive dose, you feel less of the effects.

Could you overcome this by having a weekly routine of different drugs, like week 1 I'll snort cocaine, and then week 2 I'll shoot heroine and so on until like, by week 8, you can switch back to cocaine and feel just as good as before because you're not tolerant to it anymore?

short: No
Long: chances for no are high but maybe you are special. so if you can afford it go for it. worst thing that could happen is that you kill your brain. than you are just qualified to be the next president of usa.

Yes you could obviously do that.

I have no knowledge of the subject matter at all but I don't think that kind of drug use is sustainable. Maybe it works for a rotation or two but you'd still build up the "tolerance" anyways and possibly even strengthen it. Likely the same reasoning behind doctors advising you to not take several different cold medicines at once

Sort of. That's not very far off from how people tend to use those drugs. One to come up and one to come down. (usually not 8 different drugs.

Not sure what 8 you would take, chances are you would be taking an alternative form of one of the previous substances. Either way your tolerance would go up for that week and with 7-8 weeks in between it would go mostly back to normal but would probably still end up slowly building up.

Nope. This is not how science works.

Also, a lot of those drugs work in similar ways.* Many popular drugs are opiates which tend to effect the brain in some specific way. Which is also the reason why drug addicts can swap between whatever is available, instead of always having to get the exact same drug they are used to. So you would need a lot of different drugs that affect the brain in completely different ways from each other, and which do not have lingering effects over longer periods of time.

This obviously needs to new problems, like weird interactions between the stuff you take, getting addicted to 10 different drugs instead of one, and probably all sorts of other stuff i can't think off at the moment.

I think there's too many MMO's out with not enough appeal to make any one in particular stand out but enough to not make them "bad" per se. So a lot of the new ones (i.e. last 5 years) are getting buried in mediocrity.

Well the big thing about MMO's is the need for community.
Most MMO players already play an MMO. So to be successful the players have to switch from their current games.
Consider that some people play their respective games for years, some probably a decade by now.
A new MMO needs to seriously stand out.

So yeah, I don't think there will be new successful MMOs anytime soon.

How come I always face Worthy Opponents in hearthstone? A lot of those other guys sound way more interesting.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

My brother almost faced the starcraft pro twice in a row, but what we really wanted him to face was the puppy, as he had a bit of a losing streak.
What I want to know is, why can't I chat with my opponents?
