Great. big storm coming our way, could be a tornado. *Sigh.* I hate storms so badly.

I loooove storms tho, they are pretty rad.

[Zaladane]

I once saw the C.N. Tower get struck by lightning like 19 times in a row once. Now that was a storm!!!

[Ace Ventura]

Go record it. Or was that your thing 2 weeks ago? Can't keep up!

months ago, back when I had friends who stormchased.

Ours sucked. Our town never gets flooded, we have water on the streets and in the ditches 'cause of the heavy rain. I'll post pics soon.

I could have sworn it was like 2 weeks ago. Not months ago. Are you on a different calendar to the rest of us?

nope it really was months ago. Weeks ago I had those friends, but alas, they're gone. Thankfully.

Hmm, I don't really see it that way, I think they make the game pretty fair. At least, I never get matched up w/ people that are higher than my current level. Right now, I rarely see special skins or the like. And also, you use IP to get runes, you can't pay for them. You can pay for skins and champs, but most people just unlock champs for free. Plus you get the chance to play different champs each week on rotation.

As someone with about 2.4k hours of league(roughly 3k games total) it's certainly pay to win. If you need a rune page you can easily buy an IP boost and then save all the IP for runes by buying champs with money. The more Runes and Champs you have the more versatile you will have to start playing. I would love if the game unlocked every character for free but they make too much money from the casual players buying it to save themselves a few hours of time.

The reason I've grown to like Dota 2 over time is because I've started working instead of being just a child who has a ton of free time(first job was a mediocre overworked mall job and now I'm working a legitimate full time job) so I don't have enough time to play 30-40 games. So having a game where everyone is equal feels great to me, and I feel like it's far more important overall.

You can't play the one's on rotation in ranked matches, but by the time you start playing ranked (you have to be lvl 30) you should have a few champs for each role anyways. A lot of people say the non "meta" champs can't win and that is crap, if you know the champion well enough, you can at least go even in every matchup, it's proven by all the one-trick pony players that are ranked really really high. They play one champ, that is off the current-meta so it never gets banned or picked, and play it extremely well.

Examples
DaBox--high diamond one/low challenger Veigar only player--mid lane
Annie Bot--same as above, Annie only--mid/support
Much to Learn--same as above, Fiora player--top lane (and i've seen him jungle)
Azingy--same, Karthus--jungle (he is the only one brave enough to do this most of the time)
BoxBox--diamond one--Riven player--top lane

The way Riot nerfs and buffs champions is completely based on the pro-scene it's felt for a long time. They also completely nerf champions until they are useless and then ignore other champions who should be buffed up to become viable.

With that thinking, you shouldn't be playing anyways. Almost every champion is viable for the majority of players, maybe not for pros, and their organized team comps and such, but for soloQ, you can play anyone. They did nerf a few champions into oblivion (case and point Olaf from season 2) but they can't do everything right. Dota 2 is completely different because everything has a counter, the items especially, like Black King Bar, makes you immune to spells to X secs depending on use, there is nothing that comes close to that in League. In Dota, everything is OP, which makes nothing OP if you pick/play right. In League, they try and make nothing OP, and by doing so, certain champions for X duration of time are seen as the strongest because League doesn't have counters for everything like Dota does.

Yay lollipops.

In MCLA, one thing that I've found useful, is Agro mode.
More helpful than Zone.

Oh I feel bad for all the champions who have never been viable in top level play. There are plenty you will rarely if ever see. Using the excuse people can make it to the top of soloQ but not actually make it into a competitive match which is an entire tier or two above soloQ is hilarious. The answer to overpowered champs isn't nerfing them until they are useless.

Let's look at characters you will not see being played competitively on a top tier team anymore because of their nerfs. Actually only 41 champions were picked last LCS split(or was it the one before).

Now Riot does reworks on champions that are considered "anti-fun"(yes, removing even more mechanics in the game making it more like bloodline champions) than considering making the other champions on a level with the most picked. They would rather nerf everyone until a nerfed character is considered strong again so they can nerf it again.
