Hey guys, welcome to this week’s 'Meanwhile in Top Lane...', your one-stop-shop for great conversations from the last 7 days (with hawt banner courtesy of Crazy Boris).

Here's what you may have missed while you were busy climbing the ranked ladder:



Seriously though are they here yet?

Following last week’s reveal, we posted a Champion Insights blog for Kindred and released a microsite with some good ol’ fashioned written lore.


Ranked Teambuilder

Folks discussed Lyte’s ask.fm answer in which he offered a detailed breakdown of how Ranked Teambuilder will work.


AMA

OGN caster for League of Legends and Hearthstone Christopher “PapaSmithy” Smith conducted an AMA over on the subreddit.


Between Two Turrets

New Between Two Turrets, a series for ya’ll to talk to individual Rioters about LoL n’ life, featuring head of Live Support and voice of Brolaf, Lomar.


Gotcher hot memes right here!

Following the release of League Facebook stickers, we posted an interview with the community artists that had a hand in creating them.


Jatt analysis tho

Jatt put together an in-depth analysis for Worlds Group C, breaking down the teams & his predictions (Check out last week’s MITL for Groups A & B).


Sight beyond sight

Yousosmart started a discussion on Sightstone and what could be done to improve it -- Meddler shared some changes we’re currently considering.


Who needs a buff?

Norr1N shared some thorough analysis & feedback on the state of Ezreal, kicking off a discussion on what folks would change about him if they could.


Quinnspiracy

Saixos shared his thoughts on why Quinn is in a vulnerable position, and RiotRepertoir jumped in to talk through folks’ concerns and share what he’s working on with her.


Music makings

After the release of the Kindred theme, Praeco posted a thread to introduce the Riot music team, who hung out to chat about what they’re working on.


The roffles

For your dose of fun: Bronze 1 Sion main is back with a cheeky guide for Talon, and elsewhere AviperH kicked off a thread for folks to share the funniest excuse they’ve seen someone give for going AFK.


You may have missed…

We released a teaser video for Worlds 2015, along with a new theme song for this year: “Worlds Collide” ft. Nicki Taylor.


Coming up

Keep an eye out for a Q&A with the team behind Kindred sometime next week.




Thanks for tuning in, and feel free to point out any great conversations we may have missed!

In top lane, Darius destroys everyone other than him, causing your team to flame you and the enemy team to verbally harass you. Fun Lane.

regarding draft pick and the 2 positions and fill... didja guys think to do, if someone goes fill/adc instead of adc/fill, that they'll fill any roll but if there are multiple fills on their team they'll adc first? :O :O

regarding "duo queue have a better chance of getting their two positions" that seems like an unfair advantage? IDK for sure, since the statistics are different with two people inherently... it's likely not so straightforward...
