Further, the question was of linking a city with a state in the US which is triply as difficult as naming Ireland or Wales as being part of the UK. Even if New York State has New York in the name, for some reason NYC, New York State and New Jersey just confuses me (and I got my confusion from other Australians so I suppose it's not just me) and HSGG could've been merely unsure rather than completely ignorant. Well to be honest I probably don't remember all of the states off hand (there are 50 of them vs 4 in the UK, and 7 in Australia) but I think most people can name a handful that have important cities in them (I'd be surprised if people didn't know California ) | ||

There's an AS type build with some On Hits that does alright, but I don't really play as her or with her enough. Nashor's, Madred's, Wit's, Malady and some defensive item is what a friend uses, I think. | ||

Also the geography lesson sidebar is maybe the most retarded tangent this forum has ever gone off on. | ||

Pretty much figured that people would just guess that "New York" is whatever greater area the city falls under. I guess the idea is that fame would've led lack of knowledge to the proper conclusion. Knowing any more about the actual tristate area would simply lead to confusions. To the contrary, I don't think the point can be made that everyone should know what state New York is in because it's clearly in New York State, because your own capital, Washington DC isn't in the state of Washington. Especially when so many people who us foreigners know as being from New York are actually from New Jersey. You know, this type of thing is not as intuitive as you make it sound, especially for someone to whom the state of New York holds no significance at all. Edit: ok, I agree that this geography crap has gotten out of hand so this is my last post on it; I never said Americans were arrogant anyway (why are you so defensive?), maybe a little narrow minded about foreign knowledge of their own geography perhaps. | ||

Last I checked, the general populace is quite bad at geography. Hey man, I'm just replying on my iPhone on the train and I'm not checking the thread continuously. Relax? | ||

Speaking of him, just got raped by a Morde as Talon. Well, after he was 1-0 and had bluebuff, but didn't feel to well before that either. Am I doing it wrong? | ||

Meanwhile, I jumped on buying anivia with IP (played her during free week in the past and was kinda enjoying her) before realizing it's ALSO free week for her, and to double check that I'd like playing her. Revive anivia on dominion is so fun, though. | ||

Did they do something to jungle? I just tested a jungle run with Olaf after not leveling on golems in game: Masteries. | ||
