Has anyone ever had an issue where they could connect to custom games, but PVP games give you an error that says unable to connect to the server, this may be a firewall blocking the connection? I've (obviously) tried disabling windows firewall etc, not sure why customs would work but not regular games.

edit--it seems like I can only connect to one game and if I want to connect to another, that is, play 2 in a row, I have to restart my computer
edit 2--it isn't working even after a restart now.

Hecarim's already got that, so neat as that would be I doubt they'd go for a redundant design like that.

On that topic, we've got Hecarim with the guitar, Sona with her arcade controller, MF with the zapper light guns, and now what looks like Veigar with a Power Glove. Wonder what else they could go for for this that doesn't significantly overlap the others.

Arcade Rammus. Rather than his model rotating as he moves in Powerball, he turns into a a pixel wheel which is animated by blocks shifting colors rather than the model actually rolling.

I basically never build Zhonya on SupportMorg because I'd rather be harder to actually kill + active, since literally no one else build tanky. Aegis was for the super fed Ryze.

And as I explained in stream -- I smartcast everything, but the abilities all have range indicators.

I'm technically sniffing Challenger, although being 10 LP away is probably realistically going to be a huge thing, and I only play 1-3 games a day, if any. I played much more last summer, though.

But... yeah. I don't know how some people can grind so much solo queue. It crushes my soul so quickly.

There is never no reason to not get Zhonya's on Morgana. It helps with the 'harder to actually kill' thing, and it helps you get your ult off.

I thought being D1 99LP was like a tier of its own because unless your MMR is stupid high it takes forever to get into a challenger series. But I've never even sniffed diamond, and don't really keep up on the ladder, so I don't really know how long it takes to go from D1 90LP to challenger.

That's still pretty good. And playing 1-3 games a day is probably enough to maintain Challenger? I don't know anything so I guess I should stop posting about it.

I'm getting internet at my new place tomorrow so maybe I'll get to play a game or two :unsmith:

I mean, technically it is, in the sense that you need to win 3-4 games in a row to go from 99 LP to Challenger series, so those people are far better than mid D1 players because they'll generally beat them three out of four times or something. At the same time, 99 LP is not a place a whole lot of people sit at because you either get your series and win it and go into Challenger or lose a single game or two and are back at 90-95 LP.

Nah, a lot of D1 players stop playing seriously because they see Challenger as unreachable, and a lot of Challenger players stop playing because that's the end of the line, so there are lots of players in D1/Challenger who play very casually, like 4-8 hours a week. Although that probably won't be the case in the future with the upcoming changes.

nah you can hit challenger without spending a huge amount of time doing so, but you have to put in a ton of games to keep yourself there.

I'm not really getting this master tier thing. Is it effectively just the replacement for the current 80+ lp people?

Will this contribute to rank inflation.

How do you get demoted back to diamond 1.

Does this mean diamond 1 <80lp is now going to be spread over something 125% the current 'space'

Does master get a diamond 1 reward set?

Does master and challenger share an LP, if so why not just say gently caress it and bring back plain mmr for diamond 1+.

It will probably inflate a little, but not by much.

They'll also probably add a new reward set to Master which means a new border and a new icon.

I'm curious about that last question too.
