NA still the most profitable region for pro teams. I dont see any NA teams improve significantly in S3 since why improve if you can make money by streaming and win some NA only tournaments here and there.

Time it takes to send a tweet, ~45 seconds. TSM was scrimming during this. Curse was likely doing the same, since they have to get games in with Rhux. Elementz was doing an AMA on being benched.
Nothing wrong with Xpecial giving honest criticism about a progamer's play, except that he bitched and cried when Saint criticized TSM's play vs M5. Hypocrite much?

Elementz is kind of bad, though. Atleast for his perennial position on good NA teams.
You know what I just realized? We, as a community, have not bitched about a lack of replays for a LONG time. With season 3 coming and no word of replays I think we should start getting mad. I mean, LoLreplay is great and kudos to those guys for all the great work they've done but not having an official replay system yet is just mindbogglingly bad.

Been too busy with bitching about important things, like Dyrus, Lux ult name-change, RP skin prices, breasts and own3D.

100% agreed but I was wondering if it might have something to do with the additional server load, that something like that would incur.
Obviously people can't be allowed to save the replay while playing, so they would have to save all games and keep them until the players decide whether or not to download the replay. I don't know how much additional server load/server storage this is, but it could be an issue I guess. The frequent login queues kind of indicate that they are at a limit regarding server capacity and they may have decided to not implement features that will further strain their servers. Pure speculation though...

I am still waiting for the legendary Lux skin, ze. Just to spread the love to everyone.

Why is that?
If you are sending all the data needed to make a replay to someones pc then they can create a program to look at that data and tell them things they should not be able to know, ie, maphacks.

This is fine so long as the info is sent/saved with a delay a la spectator mode.

Ya. It would have to be longer then 3 minutes though because at that delay you could have a program tell you when their wards drop.
God damn you Riot this may have to be the first legendary skin I buy.
Another pay-to-win skin. It seems that his W animation and his passive animation are the same (he spins), and the spellshield looks far less obvious than the classic skin's. It's going to be a bitch trying to see if he W'ed or not.

To me the shield looks much more obvious in the legendary skin actually :o
The spellshield is super obvious, the fear is super obvious, the Q is MEGA obvious. His passive going off is actually really bad, you can hardly tell when he does it.

Also it seems to me that after the initial animation it's hard to see if the shield expired or not. Ugh.
It's going to take a while to get to. I am still bitter from the PFE's Q/auto animation and the fly thing.
