I scored 98th percentile on the Wonderlic and 99th on the MAT. I wouldn't say it was hard, but scoring 98th percentile or higher is something that only 2% of the population are supposedly capable of. I could have used my WISC results from elementary school that scored me at a 143 IQ but I wanted to take the test fair and square. HEY OKAY ANYWAY Truce. I'll stop posting insults. You stop posting strawman arguments. That's basically why I attack your posts. You come up with some contrived hypothetical argument then jump to your conclusion. Usually there are massive holes in your arguments. I post very reasonably towards people who I deem worth reasoning with. Does this sound fair to you? | ||

 never took one of the tests i needed for mensa, my parents was told when i was a kid i should do it when i got older, by the psychologist that evaluated me for the gifted program, but i never did. my professor freshman year told me as well, but I really don't get what mensa even does for its members. everything i've heard about it makes it seem like some dick waving contest but i may have just been talking to the wrong people about it. definitely tell me if you think its worth going out of your way for. I've heard its pretty difficult for people like me (bi polar disorder) to take standardized tests like the ones you need for mensa though.

Damn you the hot shit though.  what do you guys think about morello saying on twitter that he wants to nerf lee but is afraid of what people will say about it if he does? | ||

Would of been better to nerf her e's base damage instead of the ratio, as to make her harder to ramp up and push her powerspike to 3 offensive items instead of 2. Just salty they went so ham on her when she was hardly overly problematic. It's pretty hilarious really. Let's patch the game every two weeks. Let's roll out massive changes instead of small ones. Let's hit Kayle with heaps of nerfs, and give Nidalee heaps of buffs. But let's not touch champs like Thresh and Lee Sin who have been dominating for far too long. There's this weird dichotomy of smashing certain champs and barely flinching with others. Ziggs gets a slowly, slowly approach, but let's go for 3 seperate nerfs on Kayle. I'm not saying Kayle didn't need nerfs (she did IMO), but start with one thing. | ||

Just don't be in the middle of a manic or hypomanic episode when you take it. I think you have the potential to pass, in spite of how much I've insulted you lol. The only real reason I got into it was to beef up my CV for my internships, but all of the people I've met have been awesome and very genuine. I imagine it varies by your local chapter. | ||

I'm not saying Kayle didn't need nerfs (she did IMO), but start with one thing. I can sort of see why they did it though. They don't like it when champions have really strong strength when win conditions are met. Sort of like how a 50 min poppy is stupidly retarded, they don't like that Kayle is hitting that point too easily, and without much consequence. But, rather than make it harder for her to get to those win conditions they rather just take a hammer to her end game, and just say "WHAT NOW BITCH!" | ||

I'm not saying Kayle didn't need nerfs (she did IMO), but start with one thing. What you describe is literally my only complaint about Riot and their balancing. They might decide to rework a champion when others have been sitting unused in competitive play forever while for just as long some champs have been OP (or at least top tier forever). Champs like Sion, Poppy, Galio, Varrus, Rammus, Fiora, Morde, Brand, GP, Viktor are never seen in competitive play and, while perhaps not terrible champions, lack some major qualities that the top tier champions have. There will always be some haves and have nots in LoL champions. They can't rework every champion so they have a dash ability and I don't expect them to. However, the names I listed are just ones off the top of my head that are never seen. There are still plenty that are hardly ever seen, but not awful. And then you've got the same list of steady champions that are always picked. Rather than make people trade off between utility and damage they simply allow the best champs to retain both even while nerfing them. | ||

Also, Thresh sort of got nerfed with a bigger hit box. | ||

Last week in the NA LCS she was picked or banned every single game, and she's been picked or banned in at least 50% of games for weeks. Also, Thresh sort of got nerfed with a bigger hit box. I would be very surprised if the thresh "nerf" results in anything other than continued FP support status. | ||

Gist of it is they're gonna nerf Elise, Lee, Vi at the same time, but they're probably not gonna touch any of them individually until then. Cuz people cry too much when they touch Lee, or something. Edit: When the nerfs come, I expect them to be nigh unplayable for about a year given the track record. | ||

Looking forward to it, really am. he's responding to a reply to him saying he'd have nerfed lee if he didn't care what people say. so he wants to nerf lee elise and vi together. | ||
