League of Replays

I've been meaning to through myself under the public knife in this thread for quite a while. I'm feeling brave,

LoLking me? :P

In the lol client, if you jump in the chat channel 'PlaywithRiot' we have Rioters who idle in there!

Personally I really like her W. She's a good counter to Caitlyn tbh but my personal feeling around playing Sivir competitively is that her range feels too short compared to other ADC's (which is the only reason she doesn't stomp Caitlyn in lane).

I also feel the fact she has no naturally escape compared to similar ADC's hurts her. Her lack of escapes but her into the bracket of an ADC which should hyper carry, but she doesn't seem to have that feeling.

Vayne and Fizz, mainly because they deal tons of damage and I am not good enough to play them so I can be that guy!

Hey man, definitely jump in the PlaywithRiot channel. Most of the guys/girls you mentioned will be in China for the next week and the ping to the EU servers from China is less than ideal (I will not be playing ranked :P)

But yeah, join the PlaywithRiot channel and I'll try and jump in a game and see if I can drag along at least a wild Deman or two!

Resumen – Los servidores no están funcionando como deberían. Estamos trabajando para arreglarlo, estad atentos a este hilo.

Quería daros una rápida actualización de los problemas de estabilidad de la plataforma de Europa Oeste que se han visto hace poco. Tenemos a personas de base de datos, operaciones y plataforma en Los Ángeles y Dublín trabajando juntos para poder rastrear la raíz del problema; los cuales comenzaron a aparecer el sábado y han ocurrido tres veces. Somos conscientes de que el caerse en una partida o de la cola para entrar dista mucho de una situación ideal, por lo que tendremos que reiniciar la plataforma a las 03:00am hora peninsular.

Las colas de partidas clasificatorias se desactivarán 90 minutos antes del reinicio, como siempre.
Como he comentado, estamos trabajando con varios miembros de las oficinas de Los Ángeles para poder solucionar estas incidencias y así hacer que podáis jugar cuanto antes. Nuestras comprobaciones ya han confirmado que los “dispositivos clave” están en correcto funcionamiento, por lo que tendremos que investigar de una manera más profunda, para que se entienda. La estabilidad de los servidores es algo importantísimo para nosotros, y es algo en lo que trabajamos constantemente, no únicamente para mitigar problemas como estos, sino para optimizar el hardware y infraestructuras de redes de comunicación, para que así tengáis la mejor experiencia dentro del juego.

Portearé aquí tan pronto como tenga más noticias al respecto. Nosotros, los Rioters, también somos jugadores, por lo que cada vez que los servicios fallan nos afecta, y en este caso, por ambos lados (jugador y desde el punto de vista de la compañía).

Yeah, I'd be honored.

Just sent you a friend invite- let's get you that 1k win.

(I'm sorry I'm posting in English, but I still feel it's better to give you some additional information, even if it's not in French)

TL;DR – servers are not playing nice. We’re on the case. Stay tuned.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on the EUW platform stability issues we’ve all noticed recently. We’ve got platform, database and operations guys in LA and Dublin working together to track down the root cause of the problems, which started appearing on Saturday and have since kicked in three times. We know dropped games and log-in queues are far from ideal, and so we’re going to bring EUW down for a quick restart at 2am UTC. Ranked queues will be disabled 90 minutes prior, as usual.

As I said, we’re working alongside a bunch of guys in LA to get these issues figured out and you all back playing smoothly. Our checks so far have confirmed that the key devices are all functioning correctly, so we have to dive a little deeper now.

Server stability is a huge deal to us, and is something that we work on constantly not just to mitigate problems like these, but to optimise the hardware and network infrastructure so you all have better experiences in-game. I’ll post here with updates once I have them. We're all players at Riot so when the service is down it sucks from a company and a player standpoint.

Hallo Beschwörer!

Als Teil unserer Anstrengungen die Server Probleme auf EUW zu lösen, werden wir die Server heute um 3:00 GMT+1 offline nehmen und eine ca. 2 stündige Wartung durchführen. Die Anmeldung zum Ranglisten Spiel wird ab 1:30 GMT+1 als Vorbereitung der Wartung abgeschaltet. Wenn wir mehr herausfinden werden wir euch auf dem laufenden halten.

Yo no hago más que jugar Riven, medio, top o jungla, es bastante divertida y como dicen por aquí tiene un early game brutal, aparte de una movilidad tremenda. De todas formas, a mi ambas me gustan, Irelia fue mi primer campeón de 6300, comprada a nivel 20 y hasta que no jugué unas 200 partidas con ella no paré, son tops bastante viables.

I am pretty interested in a backline stun that involves skillshot targetting.

This is really hard to pull off though. At one point, I had a boomerang attack that fired out from Xerath, then reversed direction and stunned the next champion hit.

The complaint was that the stun was *too delayed*. So next I tried a line missile that rooted (think Leona's sword attack). This seems to be playing out pretty well. Except for the fact that it's not a stun and a root that turns into a stun via being hit by a 2nd spell is just dumb, because the target can't move.

I didn't want to seed the community with too many ideas, for fear that a good idea might get washed out by me suggesting a direction too soon.

Hello Summoners!

As a part of our ongoing effort to solve server instability issues in EUW, we’ll be bringing down the platform down at 02:00 UTC and expect the maintenance period to be 2 hours. Ranked queues will be off at 00:30 UTC in preparation for this maintenance. As we learn more we will keep you up to date with our findings.

That's an interesting thought--that the game feedback loop for supports plays is less clear (it's clear when you do an awesome job as an ADC and get that double kill, less clear when you save every single person in a dragon fight with amazing clutch shields and CC). I guess victory in the skirmish is its own piece of feedback, but that's much less granular.

I think there's definitely celebration design space open, not just for supports. Though for supports, some of my favorite replays are the ones where a support and an ally do amazing things (like the recent Madlife Thresh play http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUBq64GtZzo).
