Hey, vs. those two teams SURGE might actually be viable.

Edit:

Also: Another manaless champ? Why? Why does Riot keep doing the opposite what it says?

I've had it happen just outside of dragon pit in the river, where there are no walls nearby...

And you're not just mapclicking?

It's a long shot considering how small this community is, but does anyone here play on the chinese server? I made a fresh account since I moved here and the grind to level 30 is getting dreary

If they're going to be manaless I'll take energy based champs over CD based any day.

(Edit: I see that's second reply to the official thread.. oh well, I hardly expected that to be an original thought.)

It's happened to me a couple of times. I'm still getting hit by this attempting to reconnect bug and every time it has happened to me, it's been like 3-4 seconds before I lag out entirely.

Hey yo, I play on the Chinese server, but the problem is China has like a millions LoL servers -_- which server are you on? Also, you can buy a code for like 2RMB which will give you a free cheap champ(Annie, Master Yi etc) and a 4 wins XP boost which I consider quite a good deal if you want to reach lv30 as fast as possible.

Appears to be false I would think

Gnomesayin and Xmithie have changed tags on Twitter to FeaR

Guessing this is them. Looks like an old COD team.

Because at the time the Koreans had no choice but to play with the ping disadvantage. Most already had the lvl 30 accounts here with a chuck of champions+runes. The investment in time to earn that is large for NA to do it. Plus TSM already did that long ago to play on EU. Its a LoL first world problem. Westrice the other day, said on stream he couldn't use Singed in scrims because he didn't have proper runes.

TPA has a full set of smurf accounts that have every champion and fully-stacked runes/runepages for anybody that wants to cross-region scrim against them exactly because of this issue. I'm fairly certain they are not the only team to do so.

You can't use the reason of when LoL rose in Korea they only had 3 major teams. When within a few months, they have more than enough players to roster whats likely close to 12+ sponsored teams. Obviously they had plenty of players dedicating a ton of time to go to the next level. I don't imagine each team picked a random 5 to pickup. We may not have known the team names they were on. Its highly unlikely there wasn't a great amount of minor teams. So to say they had zero, seems silly.

"Within a few months"? Many of these teams didn't form until the latter half of the past year, when the Korean scene had already more or less developed. LG-IM, CJ, and the MVP teams were formed in May, KT teams just formed.

Let's look at the serious top contender teams that existed at the beginning of May: Azubu Frost, Azubu Blaze, Najin Sword, Najin Shield, Xenics Storm. Three of these are more or less directly derived from those initial 3 teams (Frost from MiG, Shield from EDG, Storm from OP). The other two? They were formed in part as B-teams for the primary teams to practice with the original teams--but would eventually surpass both of them. The meteoric rise of Blaze and Sword can be attributed to their direct and constant exposure to their parent teams.

And you know what? NA teams did the exact same thing at this point. CLG.Black and TSM.Evo were formed for the same reasons. They had a chance to do on NA what Blaze and Sword did in Korea. But both teams more or less flopped. And it's arguable that they flopped because they didn't have that same constant practice/exposure to CLG and TSM that Blaze and Sword did. Because CLG.NA sure as hell wasn't scrimming CLG.Black day and night.

ALL of the major competitive-relevant teams at the end of LoL's first 6 months in Korea were more or less derived from MiG/EDG/OP in some way, either as direct successors to those teams, or as auxiliary teams that grew out of constant practice/fostering by those teams. The competitive scene grew from the direct investment/effort of those teams. Competitive LoL in Korea didn't just happen. Those forerunner teams MADE it happen from their own efforts.
