Also, Riot only started with ~30 people and not all of them were engineers (you need accountants, marketing, customer support, design, artists, etc). Some of the old art assets were even drawn by Guinsoo in paint, lol. Some of those are still in the game. I'm pretty sure TF and Karthus have MS paint ability icons made by Guinsoo | ||

But yes when I said Rioter It's because I thought I remembered reading a month or so ago that he worked there(we'll have to wait until he posts again for facts in this though) | ||

Ashe is vulnerable to ganks but can counter this with consistent map awareness, requires you to know how to initiate fights and when to initiate them, doesn't really have a wave-clearing spell that makes last hitting derp worthy, and her laning requires some heavy positioning compared to say vlad nid healer fags. If you are on the other side of the coin and want to have high success in LoL with little effort play pusher fags to your heart's delight. Jump on the Nidalee, Singed, Corki, Malzahar etc. Train and get all dat ELO. Take this from a guy who played too much Singed pre season 1 and had to find other ways to win. you can get to higher elo with only singed, look at Dyrus for example. ~this coming from a player who got to 1800 elo 5 months ago with only Singed (US player name Rewt) | ||

I don't even recommend solo it's usually a waste. Just survive bot lane until you get to the point where they decide it's not worth their time to try and stop you from farming and you're on your way to victory. | ||

Fx 1600 is me semi trolling, I actually have to tryhard to climb higher than that (if I can at all since i havent been there forever) That's what I'm saying though? I'm bad. lol | ||

The mechanical skill is marginal between 1500 and 1800 but the game sense and map awareness is like day and night. | ||

Lol. For the record, I'm not a Red. But there are Rioters who read TL (although they don't necessarily post). I do hear interesting things from people sometimes. For instance, I mentioned that there would be Spectator Mode at Dreamhack in the Tribunal Thread before the E3 reveal. As the discussion on learning champions, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to focus on one champion only for a while. Once you become really skilled with a champion (say, you're 400 Elo better than normal at that champion) you learn little nuances that can translate over. So when you go back to other champions, you have a slightly easier learning curve. But definitely don't do it forever. Knowing the lesser played archetypes though (like Support, Tank, Jungler) helps a lot though, especially in solo queue, since there's always more than enough people who play carries it seems. Overall I think having game sense and the like is probably more useful than mechanical skills since mechanical skills can be grinded through customs on your own in a few hours while understanding matchups, map awareness and making good calls isn't something that can be learned so easily. That, and things like Support/Junglers don't really need to know how to last hit.  | ||

When you play Ashe you learn alot of a good habits that make a good LoL player. Lot of things come easy for Singed especially in solo q. | ||
