Wrong. For example, redditers like to run tournaments where they can arrange a specific 5v5, something you can't do if it randomly matches you. Lots of other people like to get games where its 5 friends vs 5 friends. A lot of my co-workers just started playing and I could easily see them doing something like what they do with Counterstrike, having captains draft pick five man teams and then playing 5v5 games for best of three once a week for some fun. This can only be done with Practice games.
I've been waiting for those to come back up so that I can help them out a bit more without them getting paired against a team of smurfs that absolutely demolish them on accounts that have 6 games played total, 6 wins, level 10 or whatever, and manage to use /taunt every single time they kill someone.

Cable went out last night and gave me my first leave in what was looking to be an easy win Treeline game. Not very happy about it.

They've changed it so only level 30s can be involved in ranked games. I don't think that affects anyone except Ashe, right?

New patch tonight. Good nerf for Xin. A nerf to Heimer, which is always good. Nerf to Shaco. Nothing else really huge.
I'll almost certainly be buying Vlad, since I have over 6300 IP just sitting around.

Playing this uprooted many repressed memories of DoTA and the rage I associated with that game.
Still fun though. Even if I got stuck playing against people way way above my pay grade.

Just watched the Champion Spotlight for Vlad. A Rylai's, boots, and Sunfire build appears to almost be feasible.

About four hours before I made that post, haha.

Well then holla when you're playing.
Ashe actually has a bunch of friends who are just picking up the game right now. He's been playing with them a lot lately. I've played a few games with them, but I doubt they'd mind hooking you up.

Vlad loks ridiculously overpowered.
Let's put a projectile-spell-popping 4 sec Zhonyas that can move on someone.
NOW GIVE HIM A HEAL WHILE HE DOES SO.
BRILLIANT!!11

He's really not that overpowered. His AP ratios could be toned down a little bit, but the health costs for his spells are about right.
That "melt into the ground" spell costs 20% of his health. It's pretty dangerous to use, and the heal on it doesn't really get back what you spend.

It's still an incredibly stupid concept. Phreak lowered the CD to 8 seconds on a 4 seconds invulnerability spell.
Yeah. Okay.

I'd like to make amends for the message above me, I had not slept for two days and I recently reviewed Vlad, it seems he's fine. From what I can see, his abilities are powerful, but they kill him so much it balance out. I have yet to actually have played against him, but until it cools off I don't dare doing draft mode. Wasting a ban with people these days is a surefire way to lose a game in the most unfunny way.
Have anyone met Xin after the nerf? How is he now?

Xin hasn't really changed too much. He's still a beast, but not as much of a win-button now.
Still the best melee DPS, imo.

I bought Xin, had a leaver in a 3v3 on my team so it didn't go well, but I saw a lot of potential. The only thing I didn't like was how popular he is - I went to use him and someone else picked the guy! I still really like Shen though, he's such a tanking bastard. hahaha. Too bad I'm only level 14
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
