I do like that SC2 paved the way for large scale game tournaments that were held on a fairly consistent basis, at least in NA/EU

BW paved the way for SC2 who paved the way for the next big hit (LoL). And in the futur we will say that LoL paved the way for XXX game to be successfull.

Man, Zed is so boring to lane against mid. He clears super fast and has short enough cooldowns that he can just instaclear the wave and still be able to fight you, contrary to a bunch of mids who use longer cd spells for this. Plus he's energy-based so he has no real mid-term consequences for spamming.
And since you're often a squishy, his W is a threat whenever you come close (compared to top) so even zoning him out outpoking him is rather hard.

That's a different kind of boring from long range clearers like Anivia, TF or Lux, but it's boring as hell nonetheless.

AFAIK, madlife often runs 1-2 Health quints to bulk up, so swapping marks out to penetration isn't as suicidal.

I think hybrid pen is very strong on Sona, as you get significantly more bullying potential at lv1 and lv3. Many times I've been able to safely push the lane because one/both of their duo is already significantly damaged before the jungler can finish his buffs and come gank.

In terms of how few options there are for rune setups, how drastically would things have to change before we more variety? I think it could be interesting if there existed runes that couldn't be easily price benchmarked and then accordingly min/maxed. For example, what about Sight Range reds, %Interest yellows, Projectile Speed blues, and Inventory Slot quints? These could also be implemented as masteries, but I think there's so much more potential for runes than invisible bonus starting items.

That's when you bait his W out forcing him to blow flash when your jungler ganks at the same time so he's scared of using clone aggressively on you again. When people say things are boring mid I always assume they just take the easy way out and farm instead of actually trying to do anything.

It doesn't seem BW paved much outside of Korea, the west was more about CS and W3. But I might be mistaken, I didn't follow these at all.

So you're saying people should worry about the number they can't see, instead of the number they do see? That's not happening. It may be just an arbitrary representation, but it's the only thing we can see, therefore the only thing many people can care about, to whatever degree. No matter what your elo is, being in diamond 1 would probably feel pretty good.

I know I'm late to the whole Smartcast & Dumbcast by a couple pages but, if you have Smartcast on and you hold down the hotkey, the range indicator stays up

It's also how you aim Viktor's laser and Rumble's ult with Smartcasting.

That's only if you have smartcast range indicator on. The exception being laser + rumble ult.

I actually call these lanes "boring" because even when trying it's hard to make stuff happen (well it'd obviously be different if I played Ahri/Fizz instead of Viktor/Ori), for example Viktor tends to outtrade Lux at short range but loses to her full burst combo (if she roots him, her auto range is barely more than his Q range so you can't reduce her damage with a shield), so you use Q-auto to harass her aggressively at early levels when you're more mana efficient than her with lower cooldowns. However, as soon as she gets a blue buff or chalice, and later some AP, she can start farming from max range and there's little you can do to punish her, unless you yourself get a blue buff so you can sustain using E on the wave to counter her pushing, then to poke her between waves before you can all-in.

Regarding Zed, maybe that's because my jungler never came, then (can't blame him on that one particular game, top was being easy to snowball, and I tend to see enemy junglers more than mine though it doesn't bother me). I see the variety it brings and the dynamic it creates for junglers routes, match-ups, etc., however as the laner having to deal with it it's still kinda boring since I dislike having to rely on my jungler to be able to do something else than "farm" and "defend against his all-ins".

Oh crap people just made me play AD. I would already play like shit at Silver I level, what's it gonna be at Gold III. XD

Madlife runs the 1-1-1, since we're taling about SC2. One HP, one AD, one movespeed if I remember correctly (I do more or less the same, except I use a gp5 instead of AD) ;P

Yeah, but people were talking about leaving Dumbcast on so they can be sure of the range. Don't really need to do that with Smartcast's range indicator.

LoL is dying


Exhibit one: long games and no action means spectators don't watch
Exhibit two: lots of patches means people don't have time to make counter strategies. Riot forces new ones on us.
Exhibit three: Riot hosts all the major tournaments

Gg, we should all move to HoN now.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I think I'd replace every boring in your post with frustrating.
