Why is the Chinese art so much better than the US art?

Whew!  Those are some pretty extensive changes going into LoL this week.  Impressive work Riot.  I'm especially a fan of the audible turret aggro alarm.

The patch looks very good! Also, I wasn't originally that big a fan of Darius upon first hearing about him. However after watching his champ preview, I really like the look of his kit. Plus he kinda seems like a Noxian Garen which I find amusing.

Additionally, this is for everyone's enjoyment. (While not neccessarily NSFW, there is lots o' cleavage)

Whoop, I'll have to click on your link again after work Dominion >.>

Also yeah after witnessing Darius Champion spotlight, the Garen comparisons are apt.  His hit is more assault/gank then Garen's, who is more defense oriented.  This will probably make him better at blowing targets of opportunity up than his Demacian counter part, but I imagine he is less frustratingly quick/durable - not that he needs to be.

On paper alone he sounds like a stronger champ than Garen, but I think between him using mana, and lacking Garen's defensive buffs, it's safe there is still a place on a team for each of them.  I'll probably snag Darius when next I'm on LoL.

HA. It isn't neccessarily NSFW but there is lots of cleavage. I'll stick a little warning on there.

His hit is more assault/gank then Garen's, who is more defense oriented.

I really like his "Apprehend" ability, gives him kind of a taunt type ability. Being someone who loves playing tanks, this could let me play him as a bruiser with some tanky peeling ability. The only thing that looks a little crazy to me is his high damage, true damage dealing ult that refreshes upon a kill. That just seems a little nutso. I mean I guess you gotta get maximum stacks of hemorrhage on an enemy for it to do real damage but still. Oh well! Who knows, gotta play him and let him go for a week before we start seeing his real strengths and weaknesses.

EDIT: Oh also if you haven't read the last Journal of Justice, apparently Swain is now grand general of Noxus, i.e. ruler of Noxus. You get to play the leader of Noxus now.

TSM vs CLG at the MLG finals was an INCREDIBLE series. On the not-so-off chance anyone who wanted to watch it missed it live, I'll not spoilers anything too specific.

Nocturne and Vlad saw a really high level of banning (so did Kennen).

Also, one really awesome combo I saw a lot of use of was Karth - flashing into the middle to initiate, with his AoE decay thingy, and then Kayle ulting him which just  maximized the DPS. Follow up with Karth-ult for even more awesome dps. But yeah - DEFINITELY a series worth watching.

So I doubt I'll get it because it costs way too many RP, I don't really play Ez, and I don't really play LoL these days, but I gotta hand it to Riot the promo site for Pulsefire Ezreal is amazing.  Oh and the skin looks awesome too.  Well done Riot!

While my interest in LoL is starting to wane due to these annoying server issues, I did find this rune page guide to be extremely informative. It's a guide to having generic rune pages for most characters. With 6 rune pages, you can have a rune page setup for practically any character! Yes, you'd probably want some specific setup for some specific characters but this will start you out in a good spot for mostly everyone.

EDIT: I was gonna add that it seems that this guide doesn't have any mention of MP5/level seals or health quints which are both really good "beginner" runes to have as well. Health quints are generally good for anyone and mp5/level seals just kinda go with anyone you feel you're having mana issues with and you feel fine substituting your normal seals with them.

So holy crap Riot has some info on the stealth rework. It all sounds interesting and might be here in a patch or two. I'm excited cause Twitch was pretty much my first "main" back in the day and it's been far too long since he's seemed worthwhile (barring the brief time a few months ago when folks dabbled with jungle Twitch). Check out what they have to say here.

On another note, I've been enjoying the shit out of Jayce. He's the first new champ that's come out in awhile that I've had a lot of fun with since Ziggs was released earlier this year. It also helps he has a badass Samus/Space Marine skin. Anyways, I figured I'd link a guide I've found to so far be the most useful. I've been going with a tankier build which seems to work rather well.

There's also an official ARAM map out that enforces the rules of that mode all by itself. I played it with Stuff Inc on Sunday (and had the bad luck to draw melee characters that I am terrible at each time, particularly when I got Evelynn) and had a blast.
