The quality and quantity in the broadcasts of different games has really scaled up so it is good to see the number of unique viewers rising along with it.

Kennen's like an AD hybrid. Close enough to needing micro and stuff that I suck at him, mage enough that I can pretend I remain useful in teamfights.

But damn do I suck.

Wouldn't be a half bad sig.

Kidding!

Kennen as AP is sooo much better for me. Start d blade (I like over shield) and rush that zhonyas. Acquire kills.

That's what I did (well I rushed sorcs because fuck all these Riven dashes, won't let me W to keep the stacks up), but it doesn't change the fact that both in lane and in post-midgame teamfights you can get so much more out of good kiting/stutter-stepping to basically get another W passive (and thus less risky, guaranteed against dashes mark to use W's active and eventually have less risk Eing people—Riven is a bitch Eing to because she can stun you before you get close enough that E will hit her, and she can hit you without taking damage, pretty huge considering how much damage she can put out in 1.5s), screwing it up and missing kills/better clean-up because of it is pretty big.

You do the best job hyping up the other champions that you face Alaric. Major props.

More like the Riven was pretty obviously worse than me (even for a Gold III I found him weak) but as able as I am to drop him to below 200-HP pre-6 twice, I just fail to finish him or manage to dive him before he just runs away and backs off.
Sure he misses a ton of farm (didn't take TP) and exp, but against a competent (relative to me) opponent I'll need these kills to actually make a difference and be able to better help the other lanes. Same thing happens with Lissandra (and Irelia to a lesser extent, that mana pool) and that's the second thing I need most after having a steadier farm pace, so...
And yeah 200 units is long when we're talking about Riven "I have dblade+vamp and am 2 levels below but I can't 100-0 you regardless if I hit the whole combo" and her short animations+cancelling potential.

Whatever, I ended that game 8-8-8. Still a scrub, but at least I looked neat!

If there's no champion spotlight, does that mean the champ hasn't been released? I may slack a bit then.

I bought Lissandra yesterday and I have to say she's fun as fuck to play. 3-1 so far with a penta and a quadra. I finally found a mid/top that I like. She's so strong too if you can keep your spacing.

That is so fucking awesome.

Probably takes forever to set up the network, but once you do...

The removal of his global passive hit Zilean's win rate pretty hard. It's down like 7% since then. I wonder how much of that is from people still playing him mid though.
