Yea I look forward to messing with it in 2015.
For it the hit the PBE and also getting so much hype already I really don't feel like it is that far off. I obviously haven't played on the map but it looked pretty finished to me.

it will likely be released in the off-season of LCS.. 7 more weeks of LCS + worlds, it's ~3months away at the earliest.

Yeah, agree with Fawe. They already said they weren't going to use it at Worlds, which would make it really weird to release it anytime before Worlds since then teams couldn't practice for it at all. If anything yeah, right after Worlds during their "pre-season"

edit:

Actually yeah, I bet they'll have some showmatches on it during worlds.

It plays fine on the PBE far as I can tell. Dragon/baron both have real AI, camps all seem to work, brush seems to work better, etc. Who knows what internal shit they need to do, but it looks ready for the spotlight as is on PBE.

But yea, I'd wager worlds is about when it'll come out.

I feel it will be out by worlds or during worlds but they won't use it at worlds obviously. Who knows their plans though, riot is so scatter brain at times.

I had lag spikes in the one game I played during some team fights. Seemed like it was graphic related and not network. Maybe some optimizing still to do. Baron is a lot tougher than the live version. He killed 3 of my team and almost a 4th when we did him. Baron also still a little glitchy graphically. Nice though and it all played the same to me which is good. Took no time at all to get use to.

My brother in law is gonna start begging me to play some league soon. I haven't played in 3-5 months or so.

What is the current meta? I left before they did the rune changes, so it was a while ago.

Will that new summoner's rift run simultaneously with players in the old one for performance reasons? or is it a complete replacement? It definitely looks awesome compared to how it looked - they kept the league style but created a color pallet a bit less pastel and more like the colors found in the dota map. I also like the color replacement for the minions.

There was a website I found right before I stopped playing and I can't remember what it was. It essentially tracked game data from all D1 and Challenger players and gave data on item usage, build usage, rune and mastery usage etc. It was a pretty good website on parsing data.

It was some like league tracker or lol tracker or something like that. Anyone know what site I'm talking about?

Off topic / On topic - I really only play teambuilder right now so I can play the champ or position I want, but I would like to get better. Does anyone here main ADC and want to duo teambuilder with me every once in awhile to give jungling tips? I'd prefer to do it with a carry.

Name in game is - MarioSpeedwagon (I think I stole that name from someone at FOHguild)

If you want to learn Jungling, your best is to just watch Nightblue's streams. He's one of the highest ranked soloq junglers and he's really good at explaining what he does while playing. He's also probably the highest watched LOL streamer.

Just play Lee Sin 24/7. He's the best jungler in the game, can tank, can dps, can peel, can assassinate. If I was just starting out and wanted to jungle I'd do nothing but lee sin. If you master lee sin in the jungle, every other jungler will be cake compared to him (minus maybe shaco)
