Go back in time and buy the retro skins.

Specifically Angler Jax.

Other than that I'd wait for 2 things:
1. A good skin on a champ you love playing to be on sale.
2. The "Package" Where you get a champ + 1st skin on release of a cool champ with a cool skin ala Mecha Kha'Zix. I regret not getting that duo b/c that skin is so sexy.

Buy a skin for all the champions you main but wait for them to go on sale. :D

Your favorite (lets say top 2 or 3) champions, you don't have to wait.

Then just pick up sale skins (of champs you main) and cool champions as they go on sale - you should be able to get like 25 things.

Saint and Dyrus (not sure who else) are streaming a scrim of Curse vs TSM. I haven't seen TSM in forever so this might be interesting.

btw can I get a medal for telling you guys when all these little things are going on and pointing you to good streamers? Plz?

I want to get Brand since he's cool and on sale but he sucks...
I guess my next 3 champs will be Orianna, Ezreal, and Kog'Maw
Is it worth it to get Gragas?

I'm very hesitant to get champions with RP. @_@
Did you get the Collector's Edition?

It really depends on what role you play and your playstyle.
Technically, I wouldn't buy any champ unless you've tested it out during free week.

Buyer's remorse is a bitch.

I wasn't going to watch the scrim, but Dyrus giving reginald shit for wanting to Jayce mid despite only doing it like 5 times. I want to watch in hopes that it becomes a train wreck.

I never got the collector's edition, and I have refunds, but I don't want to use them unless something I need like 2 for 1 rune pages are offered again

Get the rune page bundle if you have less than 5 pages. That's one of the best buys with RP.

IMO if you want Brand, Syndra is Brand but better.

Edit: You guys always make cool comments about streamed games when I'm in class where twitch.tv doesn't work and it makes me sad. Stop making me sad Neo. T_T

I know I missed the boat on the discussion for this, but I can't write TL posts at work, so just wanted to vent a bit about InControl.

I liked InControl, had a lot of respect for him, but his posts were pretty damn hypocritical. I posted in the EG thread trying to be constructive and non-inflammatory as possible, but the majority of the posts were ignored so InC could get mad at one dude calling him EG's Court Jester. Does he have a right to get mad if he's insulted? Generally, yeah. Except his second post specfically called for us to have a thicker skin about his comments. It's hard to have sympathy for him at that point if he can't ignore a random troll or two. Pretty much everything he said got at least one rational response, but rather than choosing to have a constructive discussion, he got mad that someone on the internet said something mean and he took his ball and went home. He made a pretty good post, though, except for ending the last paragraph with backhanded stuff about LoL being "more casual," but writing it off like he doesn't mean it dismissively. Basketball is casual. Soccer is casual. Nothing played at a competitive level is casual anymore.

I can see where making a statement or extending an apology is the right thing to do, but it's hardly deserved. If he wanted to talk in friendly terms, that was on the table. Instead,

I would ask you don't be so sensitive.

On a completely different note: Why do pro teams not insist that every role that can play one of their player's strong champions learn it? It kills me to see a top/jungle bruiser be absolutely known in their role. I know that the strict soloqueue metagame adherence to positions is a little bit inevitable and a tough thing to break (and training unusual things has an opportunity cost) but the ability to pick a bruiser early in draft without being counterpicked seems like it's undervalued. I think the first time this hit me was seeing NintendudeX playing jungle Riven at IPL4 and realizing that the Riven pick was automatically jungle. Ditto for Froggen playing Lee Sin - unless I'm mistaken Wickd and Snoopeh do not really play Lee, so the Lee pick loses a lot of it's surprise/drafting value IMO.

Syndra's also harder.
That stun is probably one of the hardest skillshots to land.

Yeah I only have 6-9 PM classes this semester. It's weird because streams from the League website directly (like the world finals n' shiz) work, but twitch.tv doesn't.
