I dont know if its a good idea or not...
That'd work in solo q but probably not in more coordinated teams. With coordination and vent and stuff it's pretty easy to just tell the other guy to back out or w/e. In solo q it's much harder.
Wow that Graves AS steroid. Almost as good as Tristana's but with a friggin' dash, and lower cooldown. Quickdraw: 14 sec cd at max level, 4s duration = 10s downtime. Rapid fire: 20s cd at max level, 7s duration = 13s downtime.
WTF.
Obviously Trist has her advantages, but I don't understand the need to load up abilities with so many extra abilities compared with earlier champions....power creep ftw.

IIRC, both of the admins involved in that were dismissed by NESL.
I always wonder how these shady as hell admins and whatnot get hired in the first place.
Well, those two NESL admins in particular weren't paid. It was a volunteer service. I don't know how much of a screening process it was.
As for champs, I've already said it but if Riot really needs to continue releasing champions to pay the bills then I understand that but two weeks apart is just too much.

1) They aren't going to stop making champions because people like money. Doesn't matter what they say, their gonna keep on making champions because champions bring in money. Its just like Halo. It was supposed to end with Reach, and they SAID they wouldn't make Halo 4, but lo and behold, Halo 4 is going to be released.
Not to step on your toes or anything, but it was Bungie that said they weren't going to make Halo 4, and they didn't. Microsoft formed it's own game studio (343 Industries I believe) to make the next halo games.
ON TOPIC:
I don't have an issue with the champ releases so long as they keep reducing the price of old champs so there's still new stuff for me to play. Riot actually does a pretty fair job of balancing the game so I'm not gonna argue with their business model.
I thought 343 Industries were the people in Bungie that still wished to continue the Halo series, and broke off. Thats what i heard at least
Nah, Bungie is their own company, 343 is the "Halo branch" of Microsoft.

Both 14s and 20s are CDs which you can only use once per fight. The CDR might be the real problem.
What Trist needs imo is to get her R in line with similar spells aka a short stun if it's done into a wall - however I think she's highly underrated atm and can definitly keep up with those Caits & Kogs.

(Or make E toggle, would be not OP at all. :>>)
I don't think Riot has the UI to have an ability with an active and a toggle though. I think Trist played perfectly fine at IEM...At least God of Trist Candypanda seemed to have no problems XD
I do feel like giving her R an ad ratio makes it too good though.
Trist is perfectly fine. The problem with Tristana is that Kog'maw exists. He does what she does except he has better range and more damage at the cost of an escape.

Give the champions a much more unique style of play because they have the time to hopefully plan and think something creative out. I think by doing this, the players have a much more suspense for a new champion, therefore making it more likely that they will buy the champion+skins. (I also think skins are needing more time with creativity)
However there are obvious flaws when transitioning into the state of releasing champions: 1) Fans will probably be in an outrage 2) Perhaps it will create more of a reduce in income not an increase. I dunno man, maybe they should do a survey or something to see the ratio on who would be in favour of the idea and who wouldn't
Their is actually quite a few different teams working on different champs, as it is they spend about 2 months working on a champ, so if they cut back to one every two months they'd have to theoretically fire 2-3 teams.
Can anyone here either help me contact that guy or provide a script that can check whether a stream is live or not and display it in an image that updates automatically?
That feature is so damn important for stream threads & I'm pretty sure none of the own3d streams on TL get clicked at because of that. So, if anyone can help out those streamers it would be awesome. =)
I'm busy tonight and some of tomorrow, but I can probably help you after that, Evo. The API request itself is working fine, so the issue is on Bleap's end. I dunno if own3d changed their return parameters since someone wrote it, but basically you get this from the request.
