*** Perhaps unintentional on the developers' part but studies in the Las Vegas area show card dealers with a Southern accent have the most appeal to tourists. The most common reason has been chalked up to the accent being rare around Las Vegas, [[FridgeBrilliance which gives the image of the dealer being foreign much like the tourist]].

*** Even worse, when you're having a bad time in most other games, like an FPS for example, you can just drop out with no real consequences. Hell, most FPS games will even auto-balance teams if a lot of players from the losing team startv ragequitting. In [=LoL=] and other [=MOBAs=] when your team is wasting your time you're ''stuck with them'' since leaving is ''penalised'' (since the impact of a single player leaving in a 5v5 contest with no substitutions or balances possible that it pretty much immediately decides the game, so Riot ''have'' to penalise it harshly). So basically, the perception is that you're being ''forced'' to spend time on an activity which is no longer fun thanks to the ineptitude of your teammates. It's no surprise this can make people a bit testy.

Both instances of champions announced long in advance were specifically noted to be very early looks at a concept. Many people beleived, both times, that the previews meant that the champions were due within weeks when that wasn\'t the case in either instance. As well, since both these champion\'s releases are long past, there\'s not really much reason to keep the entries.


!!Upcoming Champions
* So...end of season one, and they announced they got three more champions in progress. Who else thinks the Monkey King is gonna be cancelled?
** Considering we haven't seen dick about the Monkey King since his teaser trailer, I'd say he got tossed months ago when the idea for Vayne came along.
** Consider again, then. He's been formally announced.
* So is the Nine-tailed fox going to be like the Monkey King and not released until four months after she was announced?
** Ahri was released about a month and a half after the leak/announcement.

** You were BornLucky. Because ''LeagueOfLegends'' is a free game, it's fully possible for people to have only two wins at level 10 because every other match they get into is full of [[SockPuppet Saboteur accounts]] as I call them. I don't know if this is happening in ''HeroesOfNewerth'' now that it's free or not, but you're not free from dummy accounts that are dumped at level 20 or so for people to just go in and troll, intentionally feed, and make newbies' lives a living hell by wrecking their games. If they get reported, then who cares? You're not losing anything - it's just a ''dummy account'' that's banned. That and they probably are playing more bot games. I play bot games mostly because I don't have the time to get into a game that can drag on for over an hour and people rarely let bot games drag on that long.

** Sion is already dead, so that's kind of a moot point. For Draven, his death is supposed to be a shoutout to Liquid Ocelot, and having it be more 'dramatic' would null the shoutout.

to:

* How come Sion and Fiddle's death sound so...calm. Well at least Sion dies calmly and Fiddles doesn't exactly explode into a pile of malevolent rune energies and straw. And for the record, Draven should have an even more dramatic death involving a blade impalement.

***** Which is why you should ''never'' play ranked or ''any'' games that are "pro" environment like DotA or HeroesOfNewerth - If you're having fun, ''you WILL be chased out'' and kicked from games, blacklisted, trash-talked, etc. StopHavingFunGuys cannot be removed - they can only be quarantined by "pro" environments that stroke their egos.
***** Although for some reason, I have actually noticed that since around January, people started to behave better in Dominion. I don't know if it's because it's more fast-paced (and therefore people have less time to type insulting comments in /all ) or if all the StopHavingFunGuys are busy playing ranked or have moved onto DotA 2. If it keeps the StopHavingFunGuys out...Go right ahead. Seriously - I don't care if you consider your game the best. Games are all about having fun, and you guys take all the fun out of these games.

This isn\'t really a source of confusion, it\'s just complaining.


* So Tryndamere's gotten a ground-up redesign of his skin and mechanics. The new sprite set is cool and gives him more personality when he jokes or taunts, but making him use the Fury system...Thats a hard pill to swallow. Its a fuckton harder to build up Fury than to just stack Bloodlusts and the critical chance off his passive is now based on how much Fury he has. This kills how much a threat he could be in lategame with Critical items stacked; which was what made him so popular in unranked games. Are Riot actively trying to alienate their players who know how to use a champ's quirks to their advantage?
** Well personally I notice that with fury, I know to get the hell away from him and when to dive. Before, you couldn't know ''when'' he was going to stack a thousand crits.

** When there's a bad player in most games, the worst they can do is not help their team mates or increase their opponents score, making them more likely to lose. In MOBAs, when someone does badly, they're actively increasing the strength of their opponents, making every competitive aspect outright harder for their team mates. Not only does this make them frustrated, but, the resulting drop in the entire team scores makes everyone assume it must be someone elses fault.

* Has Riot ever played ''WorldOfWarcraft'' or ''GuildWars''? Shouldn't they have known that nobody defends in capture and hold games and added something to encourage defensive play? Just about every game, there's a big fight for top...and then everyone disperses and leaves only one person to defend it. Or the sole defender asks someone to take their place because they need to heal or buy only for the other person to abandon it.
