I would like everyone who sees this message to observe a moment of silence for all the innocent people killed today in Paris. It is the first time ever I comment on this site. It may be inappropriate, but I wanted to show my solidarity to France in some way. Hatred loses games and wastes lives, let's not be part of that. Think about that next time you have someone on your team who's doing poorly. LoL is just a game, but hatred is a real threat, no matter its form.

J'aimerais que tous ceux qui lisent ce message observent une moment de silence pour tous les innocents qui sont morts aujourd'hui à Paris. Je n'ai jamais commenté quoi que ce soit auparavant sur ce site. Peut être que ce que je fais est innaproprié, mais je désire réellement montrer ma solidarité à la France d'une quelconque façon. La haine nous fait perdre des parties et détruit des vies, n'en soyons pas les porteurs. Pensez à cela la prochaine fois que quelqu'un dans votre équipe se débrouille très mal. LoL n'est qu'un jeu, mais la haine est un réel fléau, peu importe la forme qu'elle prend.

Thank you for reading. Please, promote peace in your games and in your life. Merci de m'avoir lu. S'il vous plait, soyez porteurs de paix dans le jeu comme dans la vie.

I prefer the new top lane rather than the old top lane Meta. I think it was season 4 (or 5?). Renekton, Shyvana and Jax and some Trundle everygame. Today the picks are much varied. You get Renekton, Jax, Yasuo, Gnar, etc.

Teleport also allow top lane to make plays around the map and be more relevant as before most top player where running ignite.

Top lane is still an island but less of an island that it used to be.

Notice the lack of any posts about Yasuo, except for a guide on how to use him better...

Did riot will give again free skin?

Riot, please remove the Rune system and give all champ a buff across the board. With this change it would be easier for everyone (Vets, Newbies, Server swaps, etc) to pick up the game and even have extra ip to buy and try new champs. please bby?

I like this new season it's a bit wild with the adc rework and such but I would like it if riot made another 5 vs 5 map with the new atmosphere and music and much more surprises.It's been about 6 maybe 7 years riot hasn't released a new map. I know you guys work hard on everything we requested for , but plz can you do this task for not just for me but for all of us . If you can see my comment I hope we can make more than millions of players play league we can get billions . I hope someone from riot sees this. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I like the new top lane meta alot actually. Alot easier to vs a yasuo or a riven top rather than a trundle/renekton/nasus. (As an AP shaco main)
