It's definitely been my experience in other team games with built-in voice chat that people are way less toxic when they have to actually talk to you. It still happens but it's much rarer. It is because people are cowards and talking is slightly more intimidating then typing. But eventually that effect would sort of run out as they became more comfortable. But still better then strictly typing. Also, there probably wouldn't be as many people caught while typing a rage message about how bad some one else is. lol.
Damn that's cynical. I'll take the view that hearing the other person's voice reminds you that there's a human behind the player and you shouldn't be mean to them.

Yesterday I get the time to have the duo on my team dc before ranked are taken down, then it takes one hour of champ select freezing, reconnecting, and stuff to get into a normal which turns into a stomp in 7 minutes but lasts 45 because the 4-stack refuses to surrender despite the obvious gap between 2 of them and the enemy team.
Today, I get to have a Plat/Silver duo destroy matchmaking once more before ranked are taken down.
I don't play that often these days, but the timing of the few games I slip in is amazing. ._.
Actually the whole server seems down, ranked are just par for the course today. The forums don't say anything about it but I assume it's not the DDoS again, since we'd have heard an uproar about that, judging by the previous instances? Riot didn't seem to communicate much about that themselves (which is comprehensible though, no need to give more information about your weaknesses).
Yeah, featured games for EU (our feed takes from EUW and EUNE games, sadly, which means 3/5 games are often Diamond/Challenger EUNE which is barely above mid EUW plat from what I've spectated) is 4/5 customs. Goodbye server.

yo as an adc main, how do you play vs. draven in lane? he always seems to outdps me, and god forbid he gets a kill in lane and gets to cash in those stacks. it seems like it's impossible to trade with him at all, even without his old passive.

Apparently Vel'Koz is a goldmine for custom skins ha. But for real, those particles are pretty sexy.

Pick draven first and proceed to take free gold to bank and cash in dat freelo. Otherwise pick Cait.

Just got a loss forgiven on a ranked game where most of my team was feeding hard
First time its worked out for me like that, I feel like I've passed an EUW rite of passage

I am allowed to whine they chosed fucking Garen to offer a skin ? free stuff that anyone can get is always going to be on the lines of riot girl tristana or unchained alistar, not sure what you were expecting EDIT: added 'anyone can get', as stuff like riot blitzcrank or arcade hecarim are obviously higher quality but are distributed in a much more limited scope
Yeah sure but there are few 450IP/1300IP champs that seem more popular than Garen these days. Like give us a Sivir skin or something like this. 
I still remember about Korean players all (no twitter shit) having a Silent Night Sona for a few hours downtime...

Koreans' troubles were closer to what we experienced before the EU split (obv. it didn't last as long), it was their local HQ that fucked up by deciding to grant an otherwise unobtainable skin (and the popular champ along with it) to every single account despite no precedent existing and trumping by far the usual compensations for troubles.
Riot are actually a bit lucky that it didn't blow up more than it did, considering it was a (lack of) communication thing on their end and Riot Korea acting on their own (which they are supposed to do, according to Riot, but, well... not this way).

EUW has been screwed up for around one hour and a half now, they activated loss forgiven 20-30 minutes after that and they're currently restarting.
You used up a bunch of your luck to get into a game to begin with. x)
Btw, isn't Speedgaming C9 now?

They said a restart is going to take an hour....from now.
And yes they are C9 now, EternalEnvy, a huge anime nerd is now sponsored by Crunchyroll #livingthedream

There's so much DotA tourneys this week, I've found myself watching it a bunch to try and understand it better (plus AA seems popular now, fuck yeah!), makes for a decent alternative to stuff like NACL when you're seeing the same picks again and want to watch something refreshing.

The ROG DreamLeague casters/commentators make me laugh like crazy. They're so fucking random and weird. Helpful during the games mostly, but like... sometimes they just talk shit for half the match. It's great.

I've actually found watching the Challenger games is more interesting than LCS. At least OGN is still being really fun ;(.
Also dam Axe is being picked a lot these days wtf.

Unless you are lucian or caitlyn can't do much other than farm.Handling draven(like cait) depends a lot on your support.
If you are one of those you outtrade him so you can do w/e.Also ashe is surprisingly good vs draven.If only she didn't suck so hard in general would play her more.

Challenger games see more diversified picks, and people seem to play more aggressively/make team-wide plays, but sometimes it's still boring. :<
Welp, DotA's over for today, and EUW should be back up in ~30 minutes, I guess I'll try to get a quick ranked (then a dom coop if I lose for the win of the day) and look for sleep.

That's because the server is down atm, didn't the client kick you out when they closed it?
