Please. We have heard your opinions, and, while they may be warranted, you're continuing to shit up the thread. There is no reason to continue this discussion. | ||

Like hard financial information, not "lol Ez skin will make them so much dough". Are they really that well off? I imagine between running the servers, promotion, and development they're probably not that flush with cash. Or are they really? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379503,00.asp February 2011, tencent bought a majority share in riot for $400million, riot was estimated at $472million at that time that's over a year ago and the game and money have probably just grown exponentially from there | ||

Most of their money went to scaling up their operations with new server farms and staff. That doesn't really surprise me, honestly. They've stepped up a lot of stuff lately, that doesn't come cheap. | ||

-.- I made an account on EUwest because NA is down. Oh my god, I played on e game and can't bring myself to play another. 30 minutes and 50/0/2 later... That wasn't even entertaining. EDIT: How long does it take for you to not go 10/0/0 in lane? Zzz... | ||

Don't mind when other people do it, just not for me. There's plenty of other people out there that don't get smashed when they go out. | ||

Ive been drinking since i was like 15 and im 20 now and its still just idk, pretty gross. you can mix most things with something else(jack and coke, vodka + oj) and make it drinkable(i.e get you smashed without realizing it). its just somethign to try once in a while, personally i always have people say you need to atleast get drunk atleast one time in your life | ||

I could see my self going to bars and getting coke. -.- random topics in LoL forum, blame riot. rephrased so it doesn't sound like I drink regularly, derp there are relatively few people who like the taste of any kind of alcohol honestly most people have to drink things that are relatively flavorless (light beer) or spruce them up so heavily that they completely mask the flavor (mixed drinks) just so they can get through the drinks and onto the effect. pretty small percentage of people drink things for the flavor (microbrew beers, straight whiskeys and the like) i drank pretty heavily in college and never really got to the "liking the taste" stage, it was more of a thing to do than a thing i liked to do haha On June 18 2012 13:47 MooMooMugi wrote: I've never drank more than an ounce of alcohol in my life, AMA is this the secret to super high elo?? | ||
