EPTBut it was an interesting read since I already quit playing DotA when all that went down and went back to BW.

I'm sure people buying him that read that will also watch the champion spotlight and see how to build him. And it seems correct really, he looks to be a really good mid lane bully/assassin. | ||

I've been playing Talon a bunch yesterday with S2 finished and he's actually stronger and funnier than I thought. Still hard to do much in the late game as he doesn't have an escape after his ult (if he has to use E to gap close) and the cooldown+range on Rake only gives him mediocre poke, but having to do with the threat of the enemy jungler actually makes it funnier than I'd think. (Also giggled like a little girl when I noticed that Sion had no way to stop me from WQing him without even needing my gap closer.) | ||

Although it was fun for a while to read hundreds of "FUCK YOU FAGGOT" in a row. Interesting enough, looks like people back then said "fuck off with your noob fan site", "dota allstars is a sinking ship nobody wants you" and the like, and now they want to crucify him because he actually did that. But it was an interesting read since I already quit playing DotA when all that went down and went back to BW. normally wouldn't comment in here but someone pointed this post out to me. Pendragon is the reason there is so much animosity towards LoL in the dota community. without his actions with dota-allstars site there wouldn't be the hate between the communities, it would be a rivalry, but not the outright hatred and rejection that exists now. | ||

Pendragon was the person hosting the site and managing it, as he got hired by riot he put up a lol ad in place of the site and took dota-allstars down. the ad eventually redirected you to league of legends download page, and everything on dota-allstars was lost, the community pages, the guides the database, the downloads to new dota updates. ect. ice frog had to start over from scratch and try to rebuild the community at playdota. and playdota still hasn't reached half the activity that was on dota-allstars. | ||

Also relevant, basically he is one of the reasons why Dota players hate LoL. | ||

That sounds like a dickish move, even though they're technically "concurrrents" you'd think he'd just transfer the site contents to somebody in the community willing to take over once he left. | ||

I think for season 3, I am going to pick 15 champions (3 for each role) and only play those champions when i queue for ranked. 3 per role gives me room to work around counterpicks and bans while still having a pick or two to fall back on. Atm it is looking like these champions: + Show Spoiler + Top: Kayle, Swain and Chogath Jungle (Assuming all these champs are still viable): Maokai, Jarvan, Sejuani Mid: Gragas, Galio, Xerath ADC: Cait, Corki, MF Support: Taric, Leona, Janna | ||

From the way you phrased it, I thought it had to do with when Pendragon was involved in DotA, before LoL existed, and they don't like LoL bcause Pendragon "works for it". That sounds like a dickish move, even though they're technically "concurrrents" you'd think he'd just transfer the site contents to somebody in the community willing to take over once he left. Yep. But he chose to try to destroy a community instead. And that's the background of RiotPendragon:Director of Community Relations.

The reddit thread is the response of people after one of the 100 posted the email they received when pendragon sent them the files and databases, three years after. It took him three years to share the files with the 108 people. and that's what is happening right now. fallout from the unburying of three years of bitter feelings. | ||

The way her skills AoE work also means that she can't initiate, nor use her combo in a teamfight as easily as other champs. She's rather good at zoning as soon as your opponents fear your stun even a little, and requires good positioning. But she's strong. And curses at Ahri, Kass and other jumpers. | ||
