I like the Janna's Zephyr on her legendary, but I don't like her face, her theme, and now her voice. Hmmmm.... It is possible to edit a champion's sound files instead of just their skins as they appear locally. | ||

Olaf is... well, I trust Smash, and I know they're trying, but however they may try to change him it looks like he won't feel buffed at all in the end. :/ Meh. | ||

One person said they didn't like it so I took this as an opportunity to call out any future haters as well. Gotta cover my bases. | ||

This is what you get when you try to find a definition: Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_deposit Merriam-Webster: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/direct deposit Free: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/direct deposit None of them say anything about paychecks, employers, and the like. Now, if part of the strategy is to entrap cardholders like you say, then these cards are pretty evil and I will express my opinion on the matter to various Riot employees I know. But until the question of "What counts as Direct Deposit?" is answered definitively I'm reserving my judgement. 1) Direct Deposit is most certainly unambiguous. I've literally never heard it used in any other sense. Rest assured this is what they mean. 2) How on earth is this evil? There's no hidden gimmick. They aren't forcing you to do anything. They made you a simple offer: set up recurring payments to us and we'll give you a reward, even if you cancel it immediately thereafter. If you want to sign up and then cancel immediately, they won't (and can't) stop you. The fact that some people are going to be too lazy to cancel it does not really make their business practices evil. Are we evil if we take advantage of the offer and then cancel DD? | ||

It's like mail-in rebates, especially the ones that give all or almost all of the purchase price back. They rely on a certain percentage of customers to forget or to be too hassled to actually go through the process. Think of it as a reward for being diligent. | ||

Seriously? I don't care that there are examples of paychecks going into bank accounts. What matters is whether that's the only type of transfer of funds one can call a direct deposit. For example, if I transfer money from my bank account (I am the payer) to American Express (the payee), does that count? As far as all three direct deposit definitions are concerned it is, but what matters is the definition as far as American Express is concerned. | ||

I'm not saying it doesn't fit, I'm saying I don't like it. Just because she does the newscaster voice well doesn't mean I like that newscaster voice whenever I execute a move or an ability. Still, it's pretty minor and I don't remember a lot of voices anyway. | ||

It may be most commonly associated with paychecks, but it isn't clear to me that it is quite that specific. 2) If it really is that specific, it is its own hidden gimmick. It's a hassle to set up a direct deposit with your employer, especially if you want it to be a one time thing, a partial amount, or simply then and back again. The fact that the bulk of the reward would come from setting up a direct deposit (10k RP) would not be innocent. It's a trap and part of the complicated web of financial shenanigans that preys on the poor and unsuspecting. | ||

Setting up a regular direct-deposit for a prepaid CC really doesn't seem like that terrible of an idea ANYWAY, though. If I had teenage kids [who played LoL, in this case], I would probably get something like this for them so they can have a card usable like a credit/debit card but with a limited amount of money. I get my Tax Refund direct deposited to me every year. It's just them dumping it into my bank account instead of handing me a paper check which I then have to deposit myself. In this case it's pretty crystal clear that setting up a recurring DD into the account of a prepaid card is simply having an automatic transaction each month deduct money from one account and put it into another. These prepaid CC's all work roughly the same way anyway - it's just a mini-bank-account with a card attached.

I love hybrid marks on sona/lulu. Delicious damage. To make up for lost durability for not running Armor marks, run some flat health Quints (which are better for durability anyway!) | ||

It's a trap and part of the complicated web of financial shenanigans that preys on the poor and unsuspecting. Eh. I guess you could call it a trap, but honestly I really like the mail-in rebate comparison made by thenexusp. Sure, if you don't cancel it then you will continue to have the direct deposit into the card, which you may not want. But the money isn't disappearing so to speak. You can still continue to use the card + the money deposited onto the card. Additionally, this isn't a credit card; that is, there's no fees or debts or interest rates you need to worry about. I've had one of these (or something very similar) AMex cards before. It's basically like a gift card - debit card - checking account combo. You essentially create a faux checking account with AMex which you access and use with the card. Besides, we don't have any confirmation of exactly what kind of direct deposit they're talking about. (At least I haven't seen any confirmation). It could be employer direct deposit or it could be direct deposit from your own accounts. | ||
