Yeah, I've known that for 4 or 5 years.

I actually just figured it out a few months ago. I said something in voice then and I was the one getting the "No shit, sherlock" comments.

I'd like to think I said something, but that might be one of those things where you discover it and think, "Oh duh".

Pro Player permanently banned by Riot for toxic behavior.

Here's theforum thread where they announce it.

In related news, Riot puts way too much emphasis on their pro players.

They put it on Facebook, and WOW.... lots of people raging about the "stupid kids who were picked on in high school and now they just spam the punish button in the Tribunal." The irony of it is delicious.

Riot has acknowledge on the forums that an upcoming patch will remove the speed shrine in TT. No word on what they're replace it with.

They're also going to be "tweaking" altar rewards.

On a related note, the forum is still mostly anti-new TT map threads.

Good article about armor pen and AD runes for the carry, I know Leisher had mentioned about taking a look at his rune set up. Notice they talk about how most AD carries get two dorans blades before moving into the bigger items.

http://www.reignofgaming.net/blogs....eason-3

And here is another about the nerf to attack speed in season 3.

I think about the other night and Leisher saying how some guys were hitting hard so early. it looks like getting flat AD runes really helps with getting them last hits and putting as much damage into each hit as possible. Maybe those guys were running a full set of AD runes, who knows. While ArPen scales better into mid and late game if you get off to a good start your chances of winning go up tremendously.

Im not sure what rune sets you guys like to use but i don't think that running a full set of attack speed is ideal. especially in the first 15 mins or so, when i think most games are already decided by.

My ADC rune page is 15 AD and 13% AS. Armor pen scales better late game, but I think it's such a small amount that getting the early game farm and then buying in game items for armor pen works out better. Out farming the opponent ADC is VERY important, so, I make sure I can do that right from the start.

My AP champ page is 31 AP and +53 mana. I will probably change this, but I haven't been playing mid lately, so haven't spent a lot of time on it. Considering mana regen instead of mana.

My support page (which is the one I use for Amumu since I play him as a support) is +6 mana regen, +13 armor and +2.4 health regen. I used to have gold generation instead of armor, which worked pretty well. But after learning about armor, I figured it would be better. Especially since Amumu ends up with a decent amount of health where the armor would scale well.

I have mastery pages, but I'm not sure they are the best they could be. Did them in about 5 minutes the day everything changed.

Apologies in advance.

Have been practicing with jungle Xin on my smurf account and I'm not feeling awesome with him. I can function, but, I'm nothing special. I tried Yi out for a couple of games and he's got more potential I think. Xin is good because he has a small amount of CC (his bounce and his knock back ult which doesn't always seem to knock people around and I'm not sure why), and a dash. Yi is good because he's fast as hell with his ult (60 second cool down), his alpha strike is a good dash and he's Yi. I haven't had any games where I got good items yet though. First game, 3 of the 5 went afk. Second game we dominated so hard they quit at 20.

Yi will be MUCH easier to play than Xin, I think. I was also considering Sejuani. I could also go back to Rengar, but he's only got a stun for CC and is way squishy. But, he can bring some damage.

Who else should I be looking at?

Heres a pretty good link on the top tier junglers right now. maybe you will find something intersting in there.

Personally i would like to see a LeeSin jungle. He can deal lots of damage but also can be built tanky and has a pretty good knock back that can be usefull. But i think he can be tricky to learn.

And i know that you play fiddlestix, the changes in S3 have helped him become a better jungler.
I know that i have been seeing more and more in solo q, and they are pretty damn powerful. So maybe you could try him out.

And Dr. Mundo is a great tank. All you gotta do is build health items on him and he can be damn near unkillable. And his cleaver is a great slow that can make ganks go real well.

And you have played a good Rengar. And they have kinda buffed him up again after nerfing his ass into the ground. So i wouldn't be against seeing some of him either.

Still recovering from the hell weeks we worked through. We even delayed our Christmas to this Sunday because we wanted to be able to enjoy the holiday season. So I've been trying to spend more time with the family and stuff. Will be able to devote 100% of my attention to you guys again starting Monday night. I might still be around sat or sun night. But definitely Monday.
