Roles:

I am not married to top. I would not mind going other positions. I feel I could do equally well, right now, as mid or ADC. I would be "ok" as jungle, and a disaster as support.

I wouldn't mind changing up now and then. I miss Morgana and Ryze.

edit - I don't know I own any "pure" ADC champs.

Since I'm at work, if I get bored I can do the occasional bot game. I did one with Master Yi, and he is stupid OP. Point and click ftw.

Not that easy when you play real players. They don't just let you stand there and point and click, you're a glass cannon essentially, it's extremely easy to shut him down when your team is organized. CC is king, his ult was de-buffed to make him stoppable.

Duh. I am very aware of the difference between bots and humans. However, I find his kit to be ridiculously easy. In fact, I'd say he's the easiest champ in the game. I say this as a Trynd player which is a character that has received similar criticism.

Yi's abilities are:
Q: point and click
W: heal
E: increase damage for 5 seconds
R: increased speed, attack speed, and immune to slows

Not a skill shot in sight. E, Q into fights and W to heal. Use R when needed. Cool down reductions are so easy to achieve that I found his alpha strike almost permanently available.

Compare him to another glass cannon, Tryndamere.

Trynd-
Q: used to heal but consumes rage.
W: blood scream (slow or enemy ad reduced)
E: spinning slash
R: infinite rage (invulnerable for 5 seconds)

His Q requires strategy because as your rage builds, you do more damage. Heal yourself, and your damage drops significantly. Don't use the heal and that rage decays out of combat.

His E can either be used to reduce enemy ad or slow them if their backs are to you but not both. It's cool down is long enough that you can usually only use it once during an engagement so choose wisely.

His W is an actual skill shot.

His R is like smite. You've got to know when to use it. Too early and you wasted it. Too late and you're dead.

And before you get all offended by my shredding of Yi keep in mind that I'm not being mean, just pointing out facts. Kind of like you did way back in the day about Tryndamere. :)

Yi isn't being banned a lot right now for his kit, but because he's a bit OP. riot would agree since nerfs have already been announced.

I'm totally going to get one of those cards. It's free to get and add money via direct deposit. It costs me $1.65 to do it through Quickbooks.

Ha, funny.

My amazon.com visa, though, has a better payoff. Just using it to pay the monthly bills I get about $30 credit every month on amazon.

Though I would get one anyway if there were a Singed.

But I'd stop using it after I got my 1k RP.

Looks like you get 1RP for every $3 you spend.

You get 1k for sign up.
1k for putting money on it the first time.
10k for a direct deposit of >$20
100RP / purchase for your first 10 purchases.

I plan to sign up, direct deposit $21, buy 10 small things and probably be done. Putting money on is free and I didn't see anything about monthly maint crap eating up my $20. So, I'm going to milk the full 13k out of it.

I have an AmEx without fee as well. They vary. But this card isn't a credit card, right? It's a spending card.
It's not me, it's someone else.

Correct. Not a credit card. Prepaid.

On another note, I got my first penta!! It was in an ARAM game. But, I'll take it. I was Ziggs.

Signed up. Also picked Teemo because the other champs are lame. Ya, I play Vi, but Teemo still looks better on the card.

Here are the Yi "fixes" coming:

Buff's for high elo viability
Meditate: Damage reduction is now 50/55/60/65/70% (changed from 40/47.5/55/62.5/70%)

Nerfs to prevent stomping in low elo's
AttackSpeedPerLevel: is now 2 (down from 2.75)

Wuju Style
Passive Attack Damage bonus changed to a flat percent across all ranks (10%)

Highlander
Now passively reduces the remaining cooldown for Master Yi's basic abilities by 70% on a kill or assist rather than 18 seconds on kill or 9 seconds on assist
