Is Linkin Park not old enough for 16-year-olds to not know who they are yet?

You could still buy Nashor's Tooth when it had mp5 on it, really. It's the same thing as the guys going "DFG is so bad on manaless champs", yeah sure Vlad and Morde have a hidden passive that makes DFG have no active as long as there's mp5 on it. >.>

also his spin has 1.0 ap ratio (on a physical dmg ability) and his heal 1.5 ap ratio on 7 cooldown. Just to highlight the difference between ad/ap trynd. He just spin/heal/slow/heal/spin/heal/ult/slow/heal/spin <-- that's a lot of impossible to ignore shit

Kids still know who Linkin Park is? I thought they where pretty much cliche when I was in middle school.
Quinn needs to come out -now- So we can start getting to the champions I care about, such as the Jungle yordle. I expect it to be a hard edged teemo type.

The are making a "faster" game now, specially seeing this changes with the current meta game.

Nashors I'm pretty sure was underrated for a long time because people thought you HAD to "need" the mana on it all this time, when honestly it was cost-efficient when you ignored the mana (note that it had 5% more cdr)

Speaking of Quinn, can someone explain to me how to play her so that she doesn't feel like trash?

I think the biggest issue is that you have wasted stats so it becomes a problem of gold efficiency. If I'm paying for 1K gold worth of stats I won't use wouldn't I be better off buying items xyz instead? Even if DFG with mp5 would've been a good buy for Vlad or Morde you're still gonna have wasted stats and the item might potentially be inefficient on those champs because of those wasted stats.

I've not played Quinn but said when they revealed her kit on PBE that while she may or may not be a good laner her kit is absolute trash for an ADC. She seems like the first AD carry that they designed to win lane and lose game. Maybe she'd be better in top lane or built like a bruiser but her alternate form is temporary and has a lengthy cool down so I'm not even sure if she'd be good top lane.
Maybe I'll be surprised and within a week everyone will be playing Quinn and she'll have to get nerfed. But I'm pretty sure she's the weakest AD carry they've ever released. Nothing in her kit looks good except for her blind imo.

Also Fiendish Codex losing 7mp/5 but only 180g off its cost.

Lol I wonder if the drama on gamecribs is staged
~lots of blaming ~lots of f bombs from chaox reginald: whatever dude I'm not arguing with ya, this is strictly work relationship I'm not your friend! chaox: ok, I'm not your friend either!!!

mp5 is a wasted stat for even mana users a lot of the time, I don't think that that should matter much.
Bigger deal would be the items' net costs being decreased.

Lich bane is very powerful on anyone who uses AP. The only real issue it has is whether or not it is better than dfg or deathcap. I mean its another .75 ap scaling ability. It only costs 3000 gold now and does magic damage so you don't have to worry about the old split resistance issue. The only weakness(besides its potential comparison to rabadons and dfg) it has is the usefulness of the sheen proc before its finished New lich bane now is actually weaker overall than old lich bane before you finish void staff except when it's you're first AP item or if your opponent is pretty loaded on armor instead of mres, if I recall my result correctly stacking flat pen doesn't make up the difference for new lich bane by itself. The change helped lich bane's late game a lot but the change to magic damage and the reduction in price weren't entirely free of cost to the item's power. edit: LOCO FIGHTING http://solomid.net/livestream.php?s=5194 (najin shield vs iG) It's over now, and sad. =( Just wanted to pop in and say that this is pretty much impossible. Due to flat magic pen and scaling armor most champions will have lower mr vs an ap than armor at all stages of the game that you could own lichbane. This makes its early game stronger than in season 2. The price was reduced 600 gold and the only thing that was changed was the passive. This makes the item better early if the passive is stronger early. Explicitly the passive versus the same resistances will be better in season 3 so long as you have less than 200 AP.
Which is to say that lichbane is better early than it was in season 2.

Hurrah for Super Week. At least our writing staff has a break next week. @_@ For TeamLiquid~

MLG is a very poorly run organization. They explicitly stated that they were given a list of the top 20 ranked teams on the ladder, of which the top 12 would be invited along with 4 teams already invited to rising stars invitational, making it 16 teams total for the MLG Dallas qualifier. Meanwhile when the brackets were revealed yesterday, there were two Diamond III teams, one Diamond V team with our own Yiruru (GL). While multiple teams in Diamond I and Diamond II either never got an invite (me), got their invite AFTER the deadline had passed to register (Pulse), or were passed on because they did not confirm their roster within a 2 hour time window (1tp). After repeated attempts to rectify the situation, the MLG admin said simply "we are not adding more teams, and that's that." I have not seen tournaments run this poorly since Xeris ICCUP days. Yet this MLG qualifiers give a spot to LCS qualifier, and allows NA teams to play vs. Gambit. Can't wait for MLG to go bankrupt.

Wow that's rough :\
Good luck Yiruru
