I currently test at Nintendo of America, and they use a system where I'm contracted through an outside company. As a result I have to take two consectutive months off a year and they get away with giving us zero benefits. From what I gather, this is pretty common practice in the game industry, but I dunno if Riot does it. Anyone know if Riot uses a similar system, or do I have to just land an interview to find out? They don't seem too forthcoming with details on the various job descriptions.  Everybody has such cool jobs...Nintendo, Riot, Lego. Trust me, once you've burnt a month of your life on something like "Sparkle Snapshots 3D" you lose any illusions you might've had about testing.
Oh, don't get my wrong, I've heard that testing isn't always the most enjoyable job. I just wish I could work for a company that I, you know, like or care about the product.
Not much to pull for when it comes to Bath & Body Works until I can get shit cheaper for a future gf.

Cute! Philo stone looks like a necklace.

Played against a Rengar as Irelia and I was getting outtraded badly in lane - starting at about level 2 where I ate QempQ and tried to respond with a stun and a few W-hits... But after the lane phase he felt pretty useless. He'd just get blown up after stealthjumping into a teamfight (maybe a symptom of max q instead of max w?) or get kited and blow stealth to escape. I have no evidence that he was being played well, however. (though I was being zoned off of CS a lot, he was CSing poorly himself despite having lane dominance all the time, and farming under my turret I was keeping within 10 CS of him. Whenever lane pushed away from turret, to middle, I would miss a LOT of cs and barely be able to stay in EXP range.)

new patch preview
+ Show Spoiler +
e: i find the reasoning behind the ezreal changes to be a bit shakey tbh. I'm largely ok with them, but ppl weren't switching to w max because q was too mana costly.

Does vaporized always build nearly 100% damage on every jungle champ he plays, or am i just imagining things? Granted rengar is pretty good with health + cdr since he gets a lot of free armor and mr from w, but that's not nearly enough. He still needs some form of armor and mr earlier than 10k gold into his build from the jungle...... o.e

I've also preferred Rengar in the jungle. His clear is absurdly fast while never getting low and very good ganks. Most games I've been started Boots+3, DBlade, Necklace, Tabi or mercs depending, hexdrinker, GA. Still not sure how to teamfight properly past 30mins when you can't necessarily 1shot enemy carries. His lategame presence is underwhelming though for sure

their explanation (other than passing over minions) basically made it sound like they have no idea why people max w, kinda depends on how much the reduce the damage but seeing as they are buffing q via mana and not via damage, it's possible w will still win trades harder.
interesting no mention of wall of pain nerf, perhaps not going to make live?

You know there's a middle ground between "tank" and "buys a BF Sword item out of the jungle"?

when brees got perma-banned, was he removed from all his friends' lists?

Bleh, I feel Graves is still going to be retarded in lane. AD caster op with a bursty support.

i really dont see why any of you care what i build. you all are free to build rengar however you want. if you dont like my build then dont use it, its as simple as that.
rengar is naturally fairly tanky, especially with his w on. frozen mallet makes those resists even more useful, and the sustain from bt lets you fight toe to toe with champs that either build sustain or have it in their kits like lee sin. the additional attack speed from your q (an empowered q-regular q combo will stack the attack speed bonus) means you are getting a lot of life steal from bt either in a 1v1 or in a similiar small skirmish. rengar scales insanely well with ad, bt is both the highest ad item in the game, and provides a nice bit life steal which you need to beat certain champs.

I don't think Ez, Graves, or Corki will lose out much on their popularity although Graves probably got hit hardest just going by patch preview.
Most significant change from that video was the Abyssal nerf imo. I can't see champions like Ahri or TF or Gragas building Abyssal with the range being cut in half.

I max W on Ez cause the attack speed decrease made trading pretty disadvantageous for the enemy ad, not cause it hits like a truck (although that kind of helps).
