shits really annoying to close against lol let's be real, every game in S5 is hard to close. ? It's significantly easier to close games than most previous seasons.
How so?
You just like can't kill those T2 / T3 towers unless someone on the other team fucks up unless you 10k gold ahead or something silly like that.
Before like a 1k gold lead and you could dive those for kills ezpz, then take the turret. do that 6x and win. Now you need to dick around till someone fucks up first, cuz them shields and them armor, and them armor pen.

dragon/baron buffs help a lot
baron specifically is REALLY strong for ending. (also ruin pots but I don't think it's decided yet who's job it is to buy that so you don't see them much)

Autoing doesn't always trigger his passive.
Autoing sometimes consumes the buff without healing him.
Urgh. Watching myself auto someone 4 times and still not triggered.
Alaric, I like most of your posts, but man, when is riot going to hire you for their testing team? It seems like you encounter every single bug in the game, even when no one else seems to notice it.

People may rage less on voice chat, but I've personally found light harassment (such as casual sexism) to increase significantly (like 2-3k percent) over voice chat as opposed to typed chat (unless playing with friends obvs). Granted, I've often found this is because of people learning things about each other more quickly (as Lmui has suggested) and thus quickly finding qualities they don't like or tend to harass IRL anyway. Really explicit harassment happens as well, of course, and lack of an avenue to report it does concern me, although I haven't found it to increase nearly as much as less serious harassment.
So I personally would find it very annoying if voice chat became an integral / expected feature of in-game communication, although having it as a largely unused option would be fine I guess. On the other hand, riot servers.

Played new Zil, Veigar, and Morde.
Mordekaiser felt pretty much the same, nothing different.
Zil more fun with the Q, hate that ulti isn't affected by the cd reduction from his W, and lack of mana from respawn really sucks :/
Veigar is complete and utter trash. Like uber trash. Rito plz.
Also went 5/5 in placements, in Gold III (was Gold 1 before reset).

In game Voip, would be fine, toss in a report option and things would go fine. No reason to refuse to add a feature because people might abuse it. That line of reasoning leads to Hearthstones hilariously stupid system of only emotes because gods forbid someone might say something mean about you. Not on the internet.
Having said all that, Riot can't even get replays down, they've pretty much thrown US East to the wolves god knows they'd probly feth up in game voice so badly that even World of Warcrafts in game voice chat will make fun of it. Yes WoW had voice chat at one point. It was aweful, due to quality and lack of support not the people.

To be fair, the spectator client was never made to follow the games of a singular player unless they were in your friend list.(and maybe friends of friends? Idr.)

I find it easier to close games this season. Inhib towers don't heal up instantly after you leave them. Tier 2 towers are kinda annoying though.
It's definitely harder to close than season 3 or prior. People forget how long the death timers were back then. Also the snowball potential back then.

How do people forget? SK Telecom basically closed a game in the finals at like 20 minutes because of a super-snowball midlane powerplay.
