I feel like Ryze is so boring now. You have to eat a ton of poke all earlygame, then you become a worse ryze late.

That extra 50-75 range really made him fascinating to play eh?

I think the amount of off-topic discussion in the past few weeks is simply indicative of the lack of "General Discussion"-type LoL discussion that there is to be had. By and large I don't see any real LoL discussion that is being drowned out by this off-topic discussion (and I mean real discussion, not Ketara raising something he's tried in 5s that nobody has any contribution to make toward because nobody's ever played it before and expecting people to actually have something). People are talking about off-topic things because that's what there is to talk about.

You can postulate about why there isn't so much LoL discussion recently (I think our subforum is becoming better at compartmentalizing the various topics into their own threads) but frankly I think trying to force General Discussion on-topic is trying to force the conversation toward something where there wouldn't be any. If there were any "general" topics that would have garnered discussion they would have done so. The off-topic discussion has only really appeared to fill the void in discussion topics. So long as the posting quality keeps to our usual standards (and for the most part it has), I don't see what forbidding it will accomplish.

Neo, I gotta say I object to the overall smackdown on OT posting. Funny tangents are part of this forum, and frankly I wouldn't enjoy it as much without them. I understand it gets excessive sometimes, but I think it needs to be handled on a case by case basis, rather than an overall crackdown. I think yango is right in that discussions have been compartmentalized a lot, reducing the amount of things to discuss in this thread, and we've also discussed a lot of things to death and back.

Edit: I do wish to say that the fact that we are having a reasonable discussion about this rather than an outpouring of rage and stupidity is great, and characteristic of this forum. Go TL LoL!

I mean they described the game as "virtual capture the flag." Rune pages aren't really "weapons" but for most of their readership, the subtlety between in game itemization in League vs out of game benefits (skins, rune pages, runes) compared against in game itemization in WoW/Dark Souls/etc is probably lost.

I can remember 3 or 4 on topic discussion questions that were asked / ideas that were put forward in the past few days and were drowned out by fish jokes and pancakes. But I suppose those are the sort of on topic discussion points that don't count to you.

I really like the occasional puns and pancake discussion. But it's gotten to the point where that's most of what this forum is, and that's stupid. I read this thread to get better at playing League of Legends, not Pokemon.
