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:


They’re (finally) here

Kindred has been unleashed! Folks shared their first experiences playing as and against them, and by popular demand, we released their sheet music.


Feels bad man

After all three NA teams were knocked out of Worlds last weekend, folks discussed what NA needs to do to become competitive with other regions.


Dyrus AMA

As a farewell to his pro career, Dyrus conducted one last AMA over on the subreddit.


Now stands for Turtle & Solo Mid

After TSM announced that Santorin and Lustboy will also be stepping down, folks discussed and shared their roster predictions.


Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’

/u/xTheParallax highlighted a pattern s/he noticed with recent champs. Folks jumped in to discuss & share what they’d like to see done differently.


Insert time pun

20thCenturyFaux made a post breaking down Zilean’s new updated passive and stuck around to answer questions.


420SwagWizard lives to queue another day

Folks discussed RiotWookieCookie’s FAQ in which he breaks down our recent inappropriate summoner name audit.


Mordekaiser: The Mordekaiser

Ya’ll had some.. strong feelings about Mordekaiser’s title change. Rioter Ant In Oz jumped into one of the threads to share context and discuss.


Survey city

/u/Darraku noticed some peculiar surveys that we’ve been putting out -- Folks speculated on what this kind of data could be used for.


A harrowing decision (sorry)

After we revealed we’re switching things up for this year’s Harrowing, folks aired their disappointment & discussed what they liked about years past.


You say wumbo I say wombo

Our very own RiotJaws posted a Wombo Combo Montage and kicked off a thread for folks to share the nastiest combos they’ve managed to pull off.


Not that climb

The Climb is back again with a video from Commando Yi in which he teaches you how to read your lane opponent’s movements to stay safe.


The roffles

/u/dankreporter is back with another epic Worlds fanfic, and LaughingFish kicked off a thread asking folks what would be in their favorite champ’s computer history.


Coming up

The balance team will be hosting a Q&A on 10/16. Also, we’re looking for players in the LA area to come playtest a new feature at RiotHQ on 10/20 -- Check out Lyte’s post for the deets.



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

You should mention the CCOS. the results from last months are coming out on the 17th and I feel that riot should recognize Arma's hard work.

I know riot won't listen to this seeing as they are a stupid company that just wants money for half-assing everything but I'm saying it anyway. They have made top laners such as Nasus and Shen unplayable because champions like Darius and Teemo exist. You have to get up close to farm, but apparently you can't do that anymore because teemo will just shoot you 10000 time and Darius will pull your ass in and deal like 9000 damage. Because of this, 2 champions who I used to love playing and unplayable now and I can't have fun with this stupid ass game anymore. I've spent like $110 dollars on this fuckin game but that's all gonna go to waste because riot has made the game so it rewards people who want to play anti-fun champs and ruin the game for people who actually want a fighting chance.
