Official testing begins at 23:00 GMT (+00:00). If you cannot be present by that time then come whenever you can. We'll be testing so long as we have researchers, so it will continue for entire evening and into the night presuming there is interest. All testing will be coordinated from the TROLLS chat channel and through TeamLiquid's TeamSpeak. We will have multiple test groups and/or in-houses depending on the number of people present. As it is unlikely that the number of researchers will be an exact multiple of 5, one or more groups may sortie with unsuspecting pubs. I will stream all tests that I am a part of at http://www.twitch.tv/montegomerylol. Details: Carry Jungling (Revised): As indicated in previous posts, I'm putting the kibosh on the "farm forever" carry jungle style. While the value of jungle farm has increased, it's does not appear to have reached a point where the gains from perpetually farming the jungle match the losses from never ganking. Instead we will be using a style that actively ganks and taxes lanes when doing so. Some guidelines:
Pseudo AD Carries: After putting so much effort into ill-fated kill lanes last week, I'd like to take a break and approach the problem from a different angle. Instead of completely eschewing AD carries, we will be testing ranged bruisers (Urgot, Nidalee, Jax, etc.) and/or bruiser-built AD carries (Graves, Draven, Vayne, etc.). Options include but are not limited to the champions listed in parentheticals. AP Duo Lanes: The subject hasn't been discussed much in the last few pages, but shifting AP champions bottom lane is an idea I'd like to test. However, I'd like attempt this specifically when it affords an opportunity to counter-counter-pick AD caster/assassin mids (e.g. Talon, Kha'zix), or when we're using a ranged AD carry jungle. Junglers as Laners: It has been suggested that some junglers, such as Nocturne, could function well in the lane given the opportunity. If there is time or opportunity, this can be tested. Double/Triple Hook: I'm curious just how obnoxious having Thresh, Blitzcrank, and Nautilus all on the same team might be. There's nothing more to it than that. Clairvoyance: It has been suggested that some tests include the use of Clairvoyance as it's an underappreciated summoner spell. If there's an opportunity we may do so. | ||

1. draven does a ton of physical damage in burst from his q and sustained damage from his passive 2. Jarvan does a ton of physical damage in burst from his q and sustained damage from his passive Draven can go a full armor pen rune set because he doesn't need ad to comfortably farm while he use's a large boost on his base damage from axe farming. Jarvan can provide armor shred that makes dravens armor pen feel good about itself. | ||

I believe it should be a requirement that whenever there is a chance for a multihook situation, all parties that hook must yell out "Get Over Here!!!!!!!!" in their best Scorpion voice. Single hook situations could be left up to the individual player as to if they want to yell it. | ||

I am shocked that CV hasn't seen use on competitive team comps reliant on forcing lane swaps (2v1 top or mid) that would get crushed if the opponent guesses the swap and also swaps back to 2v2. CV lets you guarantee the initial setup, and also CV for the gank/counter gank on that first big tower push where a 3v1 dive is threatened. However, I think that safety is likely unneeded in most non-competitive games as lane swaps are so rare. | ||
