"YOU SHOULD USE HTML5" is what all the cool kids are saying right now.  Get with the program.  It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.

Only problem I have is that they're only using the UI for Normals and have the old style for Ranked.  It's hard to get used to one when it keeps switching on you.  But I'm sure they need to test it out first so whatever.

The extra information is good, but the GUI is pretty bad.  Information is harder to get at a glance, things are too needlessly compacted, the color scheme is extremely blue.  The new map already made me feel like my monitor was out of adjustment to begin with, whoever is leading this is seriously into blue, or maybe color blind, not sure which.

Considering more people have higher resolution monitors now, I'm at a big loss as to why they'd think it's a good idea to have smaller, lower contrast text everywhere.

I watched that one as well. Excellent game definitely one of the best of the season entertainment value wise. 

thanks for my morning sigh/lol.

also - ww stats are kind of sick this patch

Finally

I need to just quit playing, the game is so shit right now it's not even funny.  Between every game being ass because of the way they set up match making to screw people in a series with higher skill opponents, and the absurdly broken jungle items, it's just not fun at all.

Yeah i think a bunch of people here screw around in hearthstone. None of us are super high rank though...

i've been trying to beat Sword of the Stars: The Pit, which is a Sci-Fi Roguelike in the SotS Universe (which is one of my favorite ). i've already had about 100 hours into the game, mostly being stubborn and playing the Space-Dragon-Pheonixs who are generally regarded as one of the weakest 3 classes.

i was doing SO WELL the other day... had gotten down to floor 21 of 40, was doing really well on food (which is the Morrigi's primary weakness resource-wise), my weaponry was AWESOME. i was able to find multiple Morrigi artifacts in a single run, which nearly never happens. Oh, and i had THREE sets of armor which is also nearly never happens at that stage of the game. i had plenty of antibiotics/antivenoms, since floor 20-23 has the infamous "Entropic Wyrm" who one-shots you if he touches you and you don't have a ton of antivenom \:

i was also doing REMARKABLE well since my run was LITTERED with wormhole traps, which deposit you in the middle of a floor 1-3 floors down... which means you typically end up taking a bunch of damage since you're unprepared + you're underleveled.

The only thing i was low on was med-packs. i only had my healing-over-time droid... though i had plenty of energy to keep it running. Anyway, i was a little careless went into a populated hallway with roughly 3/4ths health rather than letting my droid get me to full. Entropic Wyrm comes out, kill it with my laser carbine. Then a bear comes up and mauls my face and resists my paralyze. Fuck. The bear rolls some massive damage (hits me 6-out-of-6 times). i barely kill him, at about 10% health... then this stupid spore monster comes around the corner and kills me mid-cast of my healing spell. \:

God fucking damn it. That was probably the best run i have ever had so far, die to a goddamn spore. Ultimately my fault for walking into the hallway not-at-full-health but still, lost 7 consecutive coin flips.

Yeah - I'm not grinding out the icon.  Nice we all get a skin at any rate though.  

Wow - so fiora is pretty damn close to a true rework imo.  Slightly familiar, but oh so very different.  Her q is no longer a double targeted dash that requires a minion or person to click on.  Now its literally a dash that procs damage if its close enough.  Her passive is more or less a silly quinn mechanic.  Really cool when it works, but not super reliable.  That passive does give you a little flexibility in playing tanky. 

Her w is also very interesting and new.  The old one was absolute trash.  Now, its... very interesting... and requires some testing.  Its a line shot ability with decent range. You press w, it winds up and then casts.  You get a nice slow or a stun if the attach would have been a disable.  That's not even remotely interesting though.  What is, however - it seems to block all damage during that wind up period.  And block as in it can't suddenly proc you again.  Wukong ult, for example.  If you wind this up (pretty easy to just press w, eh), the moment you press W, dmg negation begins.  In this instance, I started wind up early, a wu kong ulted while I was still winding up, I don't get knocked up or take damage.  When my w ended, he was still spinning on top of me.  No knock up - ALSO no damage.  Depending on how crazy this is, I'm guessing it blocks alot of attacks.  during that window.  The various interaction should be fun to figure out.

Her e only procs for 2 hits.  The 1st slows but can't crit.  The 2nd is a guaranteed crit.  

Anyway, her passive interactoin is a little weird and a weakness.  The q change enables her to dash away if needed.
