Yup. That was a really clever idea by valve... I'm very surprised riot didn't do the same. I'd buy a skin to support the LCS.

The teams get a portion of the their icons money directly and the rest of it goes straight to esports according to Riot. I am sure in the future they will come up with some more significant but at the end of the day would you really be unhappy winning a million? I don't know if I really like the dota way though, as I don't think those losers should get that much money for losing.

Has anyone played Poppy in S4? I played a game last night in a normal while my bro was practicing some champs. What do you build her these days? Triforce into BORK then whatever? She's such a silly champ to play around with.

I haven't played her in awhile but that sounds right. BOTRK/Triforce depending on what you want first in to tank.

If you want to be a real asshole then you Triforce -- Bork --- Ghostblade. At that point it doesn't really matter what else you build, since that poppy will give no shits once she ults and nobody can escape.

Been playing a lot of j4 lately. Had a pivotal fight where I caught out the enemy jungler and had him almost dead so I ulted to finish him off and he walked right out of my ult and lived. We lost the game after that.

Just watched it earlier this morning...gotta love some random asshole laying claim to the video like it matters. I am sure the person who uploaded it made millions off of it...

It was essentially a poppy diving 1v5 in to a team and killing the whole team with a little help from a fid arriving late.

I have played some Poppy in season 4 (one or two games up top but mostly in the jungle) and yes, BotRK jives very well with her kit since the active helps her movement and the passive has great synergy with her Q, but you almost always want to get Trinity first. Sometimes you need sustain so you might need to get a vamp scepter first but trinity is too important for poppy to complete another item before it. After that I build around the enemy comp.

I don't play poppy, but it was pretty impressive watching that poppy solo their entire mostly full health team. Between her W, the actives on Bork and Ghostblade, the passive movespeed from tri, and then her ghost summoner... it was just so much chase and evade. Even more impressive was who the player did it against. Three of the people on the enemy team were OGN players (think Korean LCS).

Lyte, please help me understand the system. - Page 3 - League of Legends Community

The chat restriction system is going through some tuning. Before, players were confused when the chat restriction system would under-give chat restrictions, so you'd get 10, finish 10 games and get another 10 when the system should have just given you 20 to start.

The chat restriction system now tries to hand out the right number of chat restrictions in the initial waves. For players that have racked up a lot of consistently negative offenses,it's now possible to basically be "permanently" chat restricted.For many players with 500+ chat restrictions, it's effectively a super harsh, long-term chat ban. Some players say they'd rather be permanently chat restricted than permanently banned and lose their account, so we'll see what's more effective in improving behaviors.
I read this and was shocked that there were people who had such little self control. Then reddit illuminated me:

I had 800 restricted chat games, went down to 250, got unbanned, now i have 3600 ______^ I'm really happy if this means I will not lose my account. I'm usually not negative, but since I have over 2200 ranked games just this season and 50% of those are losses that frustrated me in some way, it's impossible for me to keep an account for more than 1 year (this is my 3rd) and I had stopped purchasing RP because it was just not worth it (lost championship riven).
Now I'm finally happy with the idea of never typing again. Thanks!

I logged on to my smurf account that has 9 games versus bots and 1 ranked loss for its last ten games. The most recent game was played on March 4th. It was chat restricted for 30 games. I don't think I was unfairly punished or anything, I just find it weird that the system was back-implemented to the start of March.

Funny thing is that guy with the 3 accounts still hasn't learned, if anything he is one of the ones that if possible should be able to be blocked from ever creating an account.

Wow how little impulse control does that guy have. I have to imagine if he is prevented from trolling and yelling at people in chat he is just going to silently feed or do other negative behaviors to demonstrate his idiocy to his team.

Apparently Alistar top is going to be a thing soon. The build is: TF>Shiv>CDR/Mobo Boots/SV/FH

Headbutt/AA/Sheen/Shiv proc and a knockback. Yay.

I played it, it will be interesting but not everybody will make it work to its fullest. If you get behind you have to recognize this and build tanky. You also have to be able to land the combo to be really good at it and it has its nuances as with most things, so while people may try, it is nowhere near OP or anything. Reminds me of all the other things that are suppose to be counters to this etc that I shit on mid because people try to play it just because it is suppose to be a counter yet they don't know how to play the champ.
