Nothing on the retirement of Dominion? Nothing on Riot's failure to help that small but loyal group of fans? Riot really wants to pretend it never happened, huh?

Thanks for doing this. Great job compiling all the content!

There' s a lot of content compared to other weeks, or it is just my impression? :O

Bonus points for the Nerf Irelia meme. A classic that got shadowed lately.

unfortunately riot is still going through with these horrible Ahri changes and ignore the community backlash... again... Can i donate 13900 IP to Ahri so that she can change her name to "lee sin"(for no particular reason) and maybe somehow "safe guard" herself from these changes?

Woah, my Top Lane thread make the cut. I'm happy so many people gave their thoughts.

Any updates on the arrival of Solo Queue?

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PUT IN A CATCH THE TEEMO MODE. I picture it differently for different map types JUST REPOSTED THIS TO THE OFFICIAL FORUM THREAD WHERE RIOT EMPLOYEES ARE LOOKING AND COMMENTING ON GAME TYPES. PLEASE VOTE UP. http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=4019198&page=45 Summoners rift (catch the teemo): At champion select. one person is automatically selected as teemo for each team. The rest of the team picks its character normally. Each game consists of 2 x 15 minute rounds or 5 teemo kills. If the number of kills is tied at the end of the rounds a sudden death round of first teemo kill ensues. Game mechanics All lane towers are disabled and base towers are enabled. All minions are disabled. Teemo cannot use the back ("B") function. Teemo and both teams spawn at the summoner well. Teemo has one minute to buy and cross the base steps into a lane or he instantly dies. If Teemo dies in base from not leaving, the enemy team automatically gets one point. A shield (kind of like viktor's shield) will stun him if he tries crossing back onto the respective teams base area. All other players may 'B' at any time. XP and Gold increase over time just like in dominion or ARAM. Dominion (catch the teemo): At champion select. one person is automatically selected as teemo for each team. The rest of the team picks its character normally. Each game consists of 2 x 10 minute rounds or 7 teemo kills. If the number of kills is tied at the end of the rounds a sudden death round of first teemo kill ensues. Game mechanics All towers (except summoners well guardian)are disabled and cannot be captured. All minions are disabled. Teemo cannot use the back ("B") function. Teemo and both teams spawn at the summoner well. Teemo has one minute to buy and cross down a ramp into lane or he instantly dies.

A shield (kind of like viktor's shield) will stun him if he tries crossing back onto the respective teams ramp area. All other players may 'B' at any time. XP and Gold increase over time just like in dominion or ARAM. Additional Rules for both map types: Teemo only rules:

Teemo stealth is disabled, instead he has a slight move speed bonus for his passive. General Rules:
Guardian Angel is not for sale.
CV is disabled Just my idea for a fun game. My friends and I used to play with these rules as well.
