Koreans obviously watched our game vs Rock Solid. Numbers and I pioneered that shit.

l0l0l Spud. I'm gonna smurf 'til I'm 30 now that Ezreal is free.

Solo top nasus vs a passive tank is fun. +350 by 25 minutes no problem.
Maybe worth putting him bot lane if you can farm hard because he's too kiteable to sometimes justifiy a solo lane. (Jungle nasus gets around +200/250 by 25 minutes if you farm hard, but still decent.)

i could play good one game and then suck ass next game.

If the troll is careful to simply mimic a bad player this is true, but I would think a large number of trolls aren't that cautious and thus could be caught in the tribunal system.

taric + blitz best bot lane
if you ever leave the safety of your creeps you get stunned and grabbed and popped and shattered, they have total bush control, shatter + mana shield + taric heal = you can never kill them
only thing is, neither of them scales incredibly well with farm so the best you can hope to do is just crush the other team's bot lane and prevent them from farming too

I think split in half that lane actually benefits quite well from getting an extra 2-3k gold each. Blitz and Taric both gain a lot from their first few items (Sheen / Manamune and Visage / X) to the point if they both wind up with them significantly quicker, teamfights are going to go well in their team's favor.

Taric might not need a lot of gold, but if he gets out ahead with his team, towers are just nuisances.

edit: vvv spinesheath has it right. It's not that Taric and Blitz scale poorly with farm so much as the fact that they can do their jobs well without it. AP on Taric is really good, it's just not neccesary to do his baseline job.

Imo Taric and Blitz scale pretty damn well with money. Taric has sick AP ratios, so if you get more money than usual, you just add some AP after the usual tanky stuff. Getting an early Sheen on him is pretty sick for the laning phase as well.
Blitz can spend the money on Triforce, AD items (W is pretty sick), and tank/CDR.

any hook = free kill

any spacing such that Alistar can flash -> pulverize = free kill

any gank = free kill

Honestly i feel like ANY combination of: Blitz, Alistar, Taric, Sion is just absolute rapelane. One stun = rape. I like jungling as tigerudyr when my bottom lane has 2 of these four because chainstuns will allow him to close to enemies NP and apply his stun as well (+deal huge dmg at the same time).

Sounds hella stupid. This is probably their way of dealing with "konami code" backdoor and say "hey, we're fixing things!"

Couldn't they just like, remove the konami code?

The thing is, their patcher/launcher right now is a shitty version of Internet Explorer. If you type Ctrl+L and go to www.teamliquid.net, you can browse it from the patcher.

It doesn't matter what they remove; as long as it remains a variant of IE you can just use Javascript to force the server to let you in.

tl;dr riot should code bettar
