I like the idea of the interviews, but the problem is that the players are clearly not used to being interviewed. In an interview if someone asks you a question, you should try to give an answer which is longer than the question itself. Otherwise you're basically screwing with the person interviewing you. There are also bad question, but there are also bad answers in the sense that the players should strife to give people some insight into their thought process and not just answer, yes, no, maybe. That what makes it boring and superfluous in my opinion.

Player interviews are fine (I agree they needs work on the execution but on a theoretical level I like them), I meant audience interviews specifically, those get hella awkward.

Few players have good communication. It's the same thing with interviews of Sports players. Horrible. These people have nothing worthwhile that they can manage to elaborate on 95% of the time.

Athletes are also limited in what they are allowed to say. If they expound on who screwed up at certain points, it can give away the strategy at the time. Then there's an issue with throwing teammates under the bus, etc.

It also applies to solo player sports though.
I think a contributing factor is the focus a player is in at that moment - I'm sure a lot of us have felt how you're just not set up to talk when in the gaming mode and mood.

The odd thing about the changes is that it doesn't really change what the optimal jungle rune page is for Akali, it just makes her a little more accessible. I'll post my full thoughts to the Akali thread.

So is Quinn coming out this patch or not? No preview, no PBE, nothing outside of the one thread.

Urgh. Don't fret, lane Nasus doesn't even have to back anymore against a passive opponent, he can't run himself oom anymore.  It's a pain as the jungler when you kill him everytime you come, but everytime you're not there he stacks Q happily.

I have a feeling Quinn is coming in the next patch and not this one.

Why does Jiji have so few viewers? This needs to be remedied!

We'd' have seen her champ announce if she was coming out this patch- the skill list etc.

he can have anything from 20 to 3000 depending on how long he streams and how many people stream
I've seen him stream 14 hours a day for 3 days straight and he had some nice viewers there
I just wish he talked more

Got a quick question concerning twitch because there is no thread for him as far as I know: Does the sword of the divine active apply to his piercing bullets from his ult (e.g. first bullet crits, hits someone else, also crits, hits the next champ and crits and it's done or does this work for 3 bullets?)

Yes, SotD will make his next 3 bullets crit. Wherever those bullets go now is up to you. If each shot is hits 3 people like you said, then you will hit 3 people 3 times with crits. That's why he's so good in teamfights, just hit SotD and spray into team and cleave them all to nothing.

Should be all 3 bullets since SotD is defined by number of attacks, not number of targets hit.

Active: You gain 100% attack speed and 100% critical strike for 3 seconds or 3 critical strikes - 60 second cooldown
The bold part made me thinking because in principal each "secondary" crit could count towards those three. Seemed unlikely but I wanted the confirmation. Thanks guys

The secondary crits aren't actual crits. They just carry the critical damage of the main hit if the main hit crits. From the wiki:
If the attack critically strikes the target, all targets will be critically struck.

Hmm I remember Aphro tweeting a while ago that SOTD is shit on twitch for that exact reason, the effect wears off after he hit 3 ppl with his first spray and pray AA for example. Who is wrong here? Can't test now since I'm not at my pc.
