I almost hesitated to post this because, as I keep saying over and over, I’m still a little worried about what’s going down with Lee Sin. Still, this spotlight is funny, even if the blur will make your eyes go a little crazy. My personal favorite part was Baron Nashor killing himself.
As the patch notes have it, Lee Sin won’t be out until Friday.
Well, I’m nervous. Riot posted its usual “new skins” post, but it’s missing a key component: “…and bundles.” The post that showcases skins in the upcoming patches also shows off the skins for the new champion and the bundles available at release.
Thing is, I don’t understand why Riot would do this. By all accounts, Lee Sin is real, unless Riot is pulling a misguided prank. We already have a splash screen. We already have an in-game model, even though it could just barely be seen through the blurry troll spotlight that just posted.
There are some other skins coming out, though, and they actually look pretty good. I’ve been playing a lot of Warwick lately and I like Firefang Warwick better than just about any other Warwick skin out there. Kennen M.D. isn’t bad, though I wish he looked a little different than Doctor Shen. Workshop Shaco looks solid, too.
Tomorrow could be a very good day or a very rough day for Riot. Right now, I’d imagine most players feel like their alcoholic uncle has been making jokes all week about “not drinking” at Christmas this year. If he shows up drunk, everyone’s pissed. If he shows up sober, everyone’s just waiting for him to get drunk so they can play out the anguish they prepared for all week.
It’s Monday, and though that hasn’t meant a ton of game time together lately, we are on for tonight. I know we’ve missed League of Legends for a couple weeks in a row, but I think it will be good to settle into a Minecraft schedule as well. We’ll pick back up with LoL next week (hopefully with Lee Sin in the mix).
So tonight, get ready to get your Minecraft on. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m currently playing on a server called DarkTide. You can check out their official website/forums at your leisure, but make sure to get whitelisted on their minecraftforum.net thread.
I’ll be in game as “TheWuggler.” A few friends and I have a protected village known as Landfall and I would be happy to help you find your way out there once you’re online. Hope to see you online tonight.
This week’s patch preview is up, giving us a quick peek at what we can expect on Tuesday. It looks like it’s going to be a pretty slim patch. Phreak did mention that the patch is going to be pretty light on champion changes because there are going to be some larger changes in the following patch to address the tanky problem we’re currently facing. Here’s hoping that stuff will be enough.
In the meantime, it looks like Galio, Garen, and Caitlyn will all be getting buffed. I’m surprised when people complain about viability for Galio and Garen. I saw those toons nonstop for like four months. I might actually be sad if they’re back in the regular rotation.
Caitlyn occupies sort of a strange space right now. I have a lot of really good games with her, but the bad ones I have are usually catastrophic failures. I think a big part of that is the slow cast time on her escape skill. That slight delay before she fires backward and the ensuing slow motion reverse dash make her pretty easy to catch up to. Compare that to Corki’s Valkyrie and I think you can see where she’s lacking.
My biggest concern is that the changes will make her even more frustrating to play against. She already ruins a lot of champions in lane. What will it be like with more attack speed and an extra trap for warding or lane control? I’d imagine things will get pretty messy around her.
All the same, I’m glad to see Riot buffing a ranged champion. I miss the days of the ranged carry.
A couple community members put together a pair of enjoyable quizzes to test your League of Legends knowledge. The quizzes ask you to fill in the name of each champion by matching it with a given passive or title, depending on the quiz. I did well with the champion title quiz, hitting 64 out of 72 answers, but fairly mediocre on the passives quiz, getting just 50 of 72 correct (though that still puts me in the 90th percentile).
Each quiz also has stats for what the quizzed folks missed most. Apparently not many people remember that Shen is the Eye of Twilight or that Veigar’s passive is called Equilibrium. Take the passives quiz and the titles quiz and let me know how you fared.
