#100 will apparently be "Jayce".

Logged onto the beta servers, but he/she wasn't there yet.

Some interesting news on here, including a Fiora buff and a Miss Fortune buff!! and of course some pretty rough Nautilus nerfs... BOO!! Even a new Singed skin is coming.

But these changes are just going into the PBE and may or may not make it to live

There's a LoL Play By Email? How in the world does that work?

Good question.

Jayce... So I've played him. He has two modes. The first, he carries a big hammer and is melee. In this mode, he's got a jump attack like Jax, a field that surrounds him and does damage like Amumu (except it only lasts 4 seconds), and a pushback (like Vayne's) with a stun (lasts maybe a second...). His ult or "R" is available immediately and switches his weapon from a hammer to a crossbow looking thing (and vice versa). When he has this, he becomes ranged and his abilities are a charged up shot that hits and stops at the first thing it encounters (Like Varus's charged shot, but worse), a attack speed increase that lasts for three shots, and a field that speeds up allies if they run through it, and also speeds up the Q attack.

I've got to say, he's pretty underwhelming. As the 100th champ, I'm not sure they could have made a worse character. He's not AD or AP, but you have to build both types of items to take advantage of his dual styles. He also has no ability to do any burst damage. He's not a tank or support, but he does have some of their abilities.

I have no idea what this guy's about, but I won't be buying him.

A bit rusty for us last night, but once we dumped the dead weight we started winning. :D Kidding!

What did we do wrong against the tank team? Personally, I think they were well built. Yorick and Morde on the same team is tough with their dupes. Add in Sion, Lux for support, and the other tank (I forget their 5th), and you have a team with lots of tankiness and just enough damage.

I think we could have won, but I'm not sure how. We had decent pushes and killed lots of their turrets, but as a team their abilities combined made them very difficult.

Teemo top was fun and I was really surprised at how easily I kept Jarvin and Darius in check.

I think we all did really well and deserve trophies because we are all winners.

We know you're gay, you don't have to be flaming.

I'll be on this weekend.

Also, Cake asked me if I could bring anyone else out of the jungle, and I said Trynd.

How about Twitch? He'd be a kick ass ganker. He'd force the enemy to spend money on sight wards and pink eye.

15:50 with Teemo going up the middle exclusively against those same 5 opponents. Went 6-0.

16:59 with Miss Fortune at 17-0. Tried with Trynd, and at 19:00 I stopped trying to win quick, and just killed folks.

Weird that I'm having more problems with my AD characters than with Teemo. I think it's because Teemo's early game is so strong and annoying, while the AD characters need to build up their damage.

I noticed that too... I can win a 5v1 with Singed faster and easier than I can with an AD character. I didn't expect that.

I'm not trying to be gay. I'm just tired of being asked my opinion (directly or as part of the group) and then being called a dick when I offer it.

Sorry if Stranger and Gordo thought I got mad at the end of the TT. I wasn't. I was frustrated because I thought we all played so well. I was mad that I couldn't do more to win it for us. Every time we played good, they'd get lucky with their timing. Plus, that was one of the best Jarvin's I've seen.

As for the SR game, Stranger was right in calling out Scooty for his build. If you're not playing your AD carry to do damage, that's bad.

I think Scooty needs a bit of practice in lane. Not ripping him at all, but when we play better opponents his aggressive style gets him out of position. I've had the same issues.

So let's switch things up a bit. Let's move him mid or jungle. If he's mid he can learn to be a bit less aggressive. My time mid with MF helped me. If he's jungle, he doesn't have to be Yi, but we could use more people able to jungle, and I'd like to go out in the lanes a bit with Teemo or mid with MF.

I deserve a bit of blame for that TT loss. Mid-late game when they started focussing me i was still trying to lead the charge since i knew i could do a lot of damage, fast. But they were fucussing me instantly and i never got more than a single swing n before i was dead, then it was 2v3 fight. I should have gone the assassin route fast and just hid in the weeds until they did their alpha strike on one of you, then jumped out with the hammer. I am very out of practice with GP in pvp. Sorry.

The second game was practically a 3v5, judging by the final scores. 2 of us were 1/10 with minimal assists. Would have actually done better without them in the game feeding and takng gold/minions from a teammate. Harsh? Yes, but true and i expect to receive the same treatment if i do that. It is said out of love. Dirty, sweaty love.

I think i agree with changing up bottom lane a bit. Me and Scooty don't seem to have the synergy that is necessary. He plays ultra aggressive and gets out infront of me, gets bursted then i go in to help and im left 2v1 and usually dead myself. Last night was a classic example of that and Vayne was 4-0 and fed in less than 10 mins.

Im good with any changes we may wanna try. Top, Jungle or bot support im pretty comfortable with all those

That ultra aggressive style is fine with Yi, but what Scooty has to take into account is how much less damage Caitlyn hits for compared to other ADs, and how much less she can take. That means playing back behind your tank, not in front of him.

I'd rather see him go with MF or Graves. Both hit much harder, have more sustain, and have better kits.

I'd be willing to take MF mid or rock Teemo in bot or top. I've really been in a Teemo groove lately.
