League of Legends - Trumped up Rock, Paper, Scissors
Consider me out this week. It's annual meetings week at work, so I'm going to be busy. I'm giving two presentations tomorrow, including one at a dinner my department is hosting.
I'm working late tonight, then watching Captain America with the wife to prep her for The Avengers (we watched Thor Sunday). Tomorrow I'm hosting that dinner, and will be exhausted after all day meetings. Wednesday is golf.
I might be back Thursday night, and if not then, definitely Friday.

Red gank. Is it worth it?
Yes, we're stealing red and getting "First Blood", but at what cost?
As someone who's been playing bot lately, when we get back to lane, we're two levels down, and our turret is being pushed. We can't be the only lane it's putting behind.
I suppose I could dump heal and change it to Teleport so I get back to lane faster.
I just want to see if everyone thinks it's a great idea to continue doing it? And don't get me wrong, this is not a campaign to end it, as it's pretty fun. I just want to make sure it's worth it.

i like the red gank, but if we are playing the Blue team (starting at the bottom) then i think it should just be the jungler, top and mid getting it. and if we're playing the other side then everyone but top lane should go.
i've also noticed it puts the jungler behind when we do that, and usually the jungler needs a leash at blue after that.

WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
FYI: Until further notice, I will not be playing Teemo, Trynd, or MF.

I will make my glorious return this evening now that hell week at work in almost over.
Probably somewhere between 9-11 depending on my family. I'll be shooting for 10, but you know how families like to mess with schedules.

It's Friday so it's probably
1. Put kid to bed.
2. Steak w/hashed browns w/couple home brews
3. Watch Game of Thrones while eating
4. League.
Been playing some games with Galio. I am ready with another tank in the case of Singed/Nasus being banned/taken.

"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
Yes, there is a way.
I'm not sure what it is.
1. If you plan on joining us, probably a good idea not to focus on champs we focus on.
2. Singed is usually banned, and when he is not, I play him. We usually ban Rammus because he is a pain in the ass, but if you got good at him we'd play him. Ditto Morgana. Cake plays Nocturne, and lately Ziggs. Leisher is Tryndamere and Miss Fortune and Teemo.
Some characters are tanky (hard to kill), some do physical damage, some magic damage. Learning those 3 concepts will take you far.

Catt, if you're looking to focus on characters, we need a really good nuker and/or support person.
A nuker is an AP champion that can hit for an absolute ton once or twice, but doesn't have a lot of sustainability in a fight. (Brand, Veigar, etc. are AP nukers.)
A support champ lanes with an AP or AD carry (those folks do constant damage and can survive longer) and buffs/heals them. Good support champs are: Lulu, Soraka, Janna, Lux, Taric, etc.
P.S. Gordo's list of who we play is getting shuffled. We recently discovered that we rely too much on certain champions. Thus, I won't be playing with the three he listed in the short term. I'll be working on other AD carries.
And honestly, it's not a bad idea to focus on a "job" like AP nuker, Support, AP carry, AD carry, or tank.
