That sounds really useful. Do they also do that for fighting and fps games?
I think otp streams are a great way to learn a champion, since they stick to the same pick regardless of match-up and you get to learn a lot about why the champion does good or bad against certain lane opponents, itemization, and so on.

That's actually really cool. Gives OTPs room to shine.
I think it's just League for now
I think it'd be a great feature to have, at least for most large-ish competitive pvp games with unique characters, such as Street Fighter, Overwatch or Smash Bros. Guess it'd be a pain for some other games such as MvC that make you choose multiple characters, though.
sadly my life is not in a position where i can plan things in advance -__-
you guys do you and i'll join in once a year or something ;_;
theres just a champions tab at the top left when you're in the league section on twitch
that's pretty neat
i'm cool with that buff, honestly the passive buff is hard to gauge since i don't really know how much mana you'll save but i like them just throwing her a bone
they should've done something like that with lux instead of unnecessarily adding a random mechanic instead of an actual buff
pretty good

i smell tilt from the most boosted diamond 3 player on gaf :^)
don't you mean diamond 4 :^)
Two more games, two more losses. First game I got cheesed by Trynda ults and was 0/2 in lane while botlane was 0/4/1 combined and the jungler never even showed up top. Then Jhin spams pings at me to have me rotate, and of course both of them feed Trynda so that he's 4/0 and with more CS than I do. Finally, we had two mid-game teamfights where we got wiped out while Jhin was apparently busy pushing botlane by himself, something he even continued to do on his way up to second botlane turret while the enemy team just tore midlane down.
Second game had the return of the potato Kat, who went 0/6 against Lux (again?! I'm noticing a trend here) and also rushed Gunblade over Zhonyas while getting caught in every single binding she could (how the heck does that even work when Kat can almost always jump away to safety?), all while my adc was doing okay but she backs with me at level 3 and, well... she never came back after that.
Really digging this 0-5 losing streak due to having downright retarded teammates. Guess I should start banning Kat whenever Yasuo's already taken, since I'm noticing the same pattern as him where enemy Kats go 16/0 and my Kats go 0/16 every single game.

Wait. Only the ally Rakan/Xayah can hear the ping lines?
The inhouse was fun this week. Listening to ghosts and talents flame in game one and mandropping to save the lane.
Support gragas actually felt good in game two but I'm rusty with his shitty ult. It still functions as great disengage.
Also between my boosted flashes and talents sivir that was memorable. Wish our comp wasn't so low damage.
Game three I didn't really do anything kill participation wise. Just got vision and did big teamfight damage. My laning phase also felt off since I was on my laptop :/.

Move Specific taunts to the start of the game. done
really wish u could just choose your language, it's really annoying to have to to redownload stuff to switch regions
at the very least have english everywhere...
like, maybe they can scrounge up some mia lines from the rest of their voiceover like they did with the ban lines, but probably not, and if they're gonna record new vo for like lux or galio or whatever, they should probably get some of those just in case

i agree, i just mentioned lux cos they gave her new lines not long ago

when you look at the ping icons near the map they even have a quote from lux(And swain for retreat).
Sometimes in the heat of the moment, it'd be useful to have a 'My enemy is missing!' line from say, Ahri mid, so a player knows to back off without having to read chat, look at the time, compare it to the current time. Because in a competitive setting, pings go off like crazy.
(dota and hots do voiced pings but I'm not gonna bring them up)
eh, that's the wrong reason to add them tho
honestly the way they work now are much better from a clarity standpoint, they all have their own distinct sound which is pretty well designed in a way that "retreat", "mia" and "danger" all sound a lot more urgent and demanding of your attention
like at this point my brain just recognizes the mia sound so it knows how to react without having to process anything else. if it was just lux saying "no enemies in sight hehe" that might be distracting
there's the benefit that having the champion read the line cos it's immediate feedback of who's saying it but i'm not sure if it'd be much better
like i'd still keep these sounds and add the lines later mostly for flavor
it just feels cool

Why isn't there like a "role/lane" queue?
I'm a lvl 13 newb, but it seems to be a race to claim your lane/role in the lobby.
Then you have situations where 3 top laners auto lock Darius/Garren/Pantheon and all 3 argue about who's going top.
I wouldn't mind a longer queue if it meant not arguing/claiming lanes in the lobby.

There is one, it's Draft Pick, but you need to own 16 champions because of the pick/ban phase. Before you matchmake, you and whoever you're in a group with pick two roles you prefer to play.
Yeah, blind pick sucks because of stuff like that coupled with the fact that nearly nobody likes going support, so most of the time whoever takes the longest to claim a lane get it and subsequently feeds his/her ass off attempting to go support Garen or something.
They're currently testing bringing normal draft back in LAS, and I'm really hoping it sticks, even if it's just in certain hours like one of the options they've proposed (right now the queue gets enabled at noon and disabled after midnight until next Thursday).

Cuz of the skin? I never got chance to play it b4 I left T_T. Is it as annoying as I have dreamed?
Huh? What makes pug worse compared to other Kog skins?
He got a lot of dog sound effects. He barks while he attacks, maybe only while W is active. It gets really old after a while.
sounds like the inevitable conclusion of making skins based on memes
