Man, talk about non sequitur train of thought. How do you go from "jiji overrated" to "CLG can't beat EU"? Your first statement I disagree with and you'll have a hard time proving or finding people that would support your claim. Your second statement is a toss up. CLG can beat EU but they would be hard pressed against EU's top tier teams like Fnatic and SK because those team practice/scrim a lot more than CLG has been. | ||

The q is only going on because they are having issues and wanting to get people off the client. You aren't missing much. Unable to q up for anything. | ||

On an unrelated note: rofl at the platform failure. I had a normals queue go through 9 different attempts at champ select before finally starting (with one person who troll picked runes/champ/etc. thinking it wouldn't start). Somehow ended up with a lvl 20 and a lvl 9, despite nobody duo queuing. Ranked queue was about 15 minutes and took two selections to get started (bans, ofc, didn't work in either). There were two big lag spikes in game, but otherwise it went fine. | ||

All I know is that tanks/tanky dps/melee dps really shine in this map, tier 3 items are generally not worth getting, wardswardswards, and other common sense stuff. Specifics like how to utilize the jungle, team composition, summoner spells, etc. is what I'm mainly looking for. | ||

I was thinking Ability-wise, they released Empath shortly after karma (spotlight focused a lot on the Q and the spell visuals were extremely similiar) and Caitlyn/Flint were released with 1 week of difference. Now, flint is simply a dwarven sniper port, but it is dishonest and legally persecutable to release something for free that the rival company makes their customers pay for, and do so right after them. A similiar thing could be said about Riot one year ago with HoN's own version of shaco, but given that the S2 post was updated a lot after its initial publication I can't tell if it was Riot that took from S2 or vice versa.

Jiji's aggressive plays are bad and feel forced, this is what I'm saying. I am 100% convinced that US teams should beat EU teams the moment they stop playing like EU wannabes. This is mostly directed towards TSM, but CLG's playstyle has always been passive and in general close to what we consider EU. | ||

Specifics like how to utilize the jungle, team composition, summoner spells, etc. is what I'm mainly looking for. Hmm, this was on my things to do at the start of the subforum but I never got around to it. I'll try to write something up about TT this weekend. Team comps are pretty self explanatory, you figure out what champions are good and what aren't really viable just by playing the map a few times. Mundo > Singed > etc Summoner spells, be equipped with one, if not two, Smites. Exhaust tends to be a lot better than Ignite. | ||

What? Empath is nothing like Karma and Flint was released way before Cait. | ||

"Sniper" and "Harlequin" both carry a certain set of artistic and practical flavors associated with them. Harlequin dressing silly and utilizing types of trickery in their skill sets. If you're arguing that they came out very close together chronologically that may be a very valid point, and clever marketing ploy by riot. (Its not illegal to do this because HoN can't copyright "Harlequin" or "Sniper") | ||

Email support (or directly to someone in Customer Support if you have friends in that department) and make a request. And yes, the most common exchange is some MS Paint drawing for the residual RP you need for the skin you want. | ||

(Its not illegal to do this because HoN can't copyright "Harlequin" or "Sniper") Harlequin as it stands has shaco's leap and clone, and shaco is a jester, I can't see how those visuals would be much different. Both games cater to casual and "lazy" audiences to keep their cash flow, HoN recently adopted an ingame store because selling the whole game wasn't profitable enough to them. LoL relies on people who don't play enough to gain sufficient IP to buy champions with RP. | ||

And yeah, just go to http://support.leagueoflegends.com/home and submit a ticket and draw some cute picture or whatever. | ||
