Honestly, from a Silver player who got gold in all three queues last season (and had a really easy time doing in 3s) 3s is MUCH harder this season.
By far.

Reporting back on the League of Legends Amex card.

For those who missed the start of this, I signed up for the RP+ Serve card for science. However, it takes time for the actual card to arrive, so outside of the 1000 RP I gained for signing up I couldn't answer any questions (in particular, can I Direct Deposit using Paypal and get the 10000 RP?).

I got my physical card today. However, I was less prepared for this than I thought. Had I been better prepared I would have added $20 to my Paypal account at the same time I signed up for the card, but hindsight is what it is.

As of yet I can't tell you whether a transfer from Paypal will yield the rewards I seek, but I can tell you how to set it all up.

1. Login to Serve.
2. Mouseover "My Wallet" (found in the upper right of the window).
3. Click "Funding Sources".
4. You should see a Direct Deposit box, with an Enroll button. Click it.
5. Your routing and account numbers should now be visible.
6. Login to Paypal.
7. Under "My Account" Mouseover the Profile tab.
8. Click "Update Bank Account".
9. Click the Add button to add a new account.
10. Enter your routing and account numbers.

At this point the account should be unconfirmed, but that doesn't matter. You can still send money to the account.

I'll report back again once I find out if this will work for getting the reward. It apparently works for other Serve offers, but who knows?


Final report on the LoL Amex card. Adding $20 to my Serve account through Paypal netted me the 1000 RP bonus for adding $20, plus the 10000 RP bonus for a direct deposit. All that's left is to make 10 ~$2 transactions and I'll have all 13000.

I was just going to report I received my card. That's awesome news :D

Strange thing was my envelope was open... everything seems here regardless.

Edit: Ok I feel dumb now. How exactly are you sending money to your card using PayPal? I only ever use it for friends paypal accts.

I always found the level of play in 3s below what I see in 5s but only anecdotal. They also emphasize different aspects of the game too so it's kind of pointless to speculate the actual skill disparity between league/division.

K guys, here's the sitch:
5 champs left: Aatrox, Voliburrrrr, Yorick, Lucian, Fizz.
Fizz is on sale coming up; have 300-ish RP and 5300 IP.

I don't play nearly as much anymore (I used to earn enough IP for a new champ every 2-3 weeks, now it takes me over a month).
Fizz was going to be my next buy. Should I:
a) Wait and just buy him with IP like I was going to
b) Refund something to buy him with RP (I was thinking Mecha Khazix since I barely play him but imo that's one of the skins that gives you a legitimate advantage with Isolation being easier to see. Also got it on sale so if I ever wanted to re-buy it, would be hella expensive)
c) Don't be a cheapass and just buy $5 in RP (I've bought a LOT of champs on sale this summer---something I never used to do because I saw my IP/champ earning rate slow way down and I'd never catch 'em all otherwise)

I'm having an existential crisis here, TL.

(Also planned on buying a day-IP boost at some point this coming week and grind like crazy just for fun)

If you got a Serve card you can just put 20$ in via paypal and you'll have enough RP to buy all those champs.

If you still plan on getting every champion and can't play too much because of your child, c) is a no brainer for me.

As a Canadian apparently I'm not eligible for the Serve card.
(Also, while signing up, before it gave me the option to enter my address and other stuff, it wanted my NA username and PW....did I stumble onto a phishing site that linked the Amex site? I changed my PW just in case but yeah when it just linked me to the amex serve lol site after it looked real fishy).

Edit: Fuck it, went with option c. You win Riot. I remember the days when I said "Oh shit free game, why the fuck would I ever spend money on this?" I'm just a consumer whore. (And how!)

If it was that simple everyone would be doing it but vayne is actually fine vs urgot.Most of the job of shutting down vayne is up to the support.Even caitlyn who a lot of people consider a counter(it isn't) can't win vs vayne without correct supp play.Unless ofc vayne just sucks but then it doesn't matter.

That kinda reduces their chances but not by that much.Guess it's safer.Until we see what happens can't really know if it good or bad >.>.

Fnatic decision makes sense. Puszu played well enough to win them the split and the amount of pressure on Rekkles would be insane. To go straight from amateur games to Worlds would be a crazy jump (I realize he did big events before, but he's had quite a long break).
