I finally managed to get my first chest with Viktor (a 50 minute game loss though), at least I got the S.

I'm considering playing though my top 30 champions to get chests for the New Year

(I'm hoping to luck out on getting Program Leblanc, Mafia Twitch, Prestigious Leblanc on NA accounts)

Chests reset when the next season starts.

Ah, I see...

what I meant though, is that if I get a Chest for Viktor today... can I just keep playing and get more chests in the same day with other champions?

Or is there a Cool Off period?

Oh. Yeah, there's a limit to how many chests you can get in a day. I think it's 3. They reset in like 5 days if I recall right.

Without a doubt the hardest 5 vs 4 I’ve ever played. We nearly lost repeatedly. It was that hard.

Even without Lee, that’s one crafty ennemy team of 4.

A fed Yas and a Riven is brutal...

Is 9.3 in a few days?

Can’t wait for the ADC crit buffs

I want to see how powerful the Jinx pick I’ve been practicing becomes with 2 items

Oh boy sylas is free

Oh, come on. I just unlocked the guy a couple days ago. Now I'm not gonna get to play him all week.

Cool. Will make all this easier to keep up with.

...Did I miss a pricing change? Since when is Vlad only 3150? I swore he was a 4800 champ last I checked.

Yes, Vladimir is previously 4800

I can testify as I bought him using BE on 5 different accounts on many servers

Guess they made him cheaper then. Cause he's not even on sale. He's just 3150 now.

Also, I'mt terrible at him.

Hmmm... I mean if you're interested in playing him as a serious pick I have a lot of advice I could give. His play style is different from more traditional "artillery" mages for sure. He's supposed to be played up close against enemies (with your Pool as emergency safety) but it takes a while to get a feel for the power spikes etc...

I’ve played him on Aram. Managing his cooldowns and blood meter was the thing I had difficulty with

Just build 40-45 cdr

Then you become a god of death unless they drafted a ton of CC to shut your short range down

Literally no one can approach you without getting hit by Tides of Blood. The thing has literally no Cooldown and basically no cost once you have 4-5 points in it and capped the cdr... you can charge and fire all day long

I like to take Ghost and then just run straight at their back line like a vampire on heroin

Protobelt > Ionian boots > codex (hit 40-45 at this point with Transcendence) > Deathcap > Void Staff > Morello

codex is upgraded into Banshees/Zhonyas at some point after D cap (I leave the codex)... usually I upgrade it last because I greed over damage and really know the limits of close range battles

I do Ghost with Electro (you don’t need Ignite to win lane), Ghost makes you way more mobile

I followed that up close advice. Went from a combined 4-17 across those first two games, to 7-1. Also helped that I ditched the AP runes and went all tanky and heal runes. She couldn't scratch me. Also got a chest. Woo.

It's a jungle Sylas who ganked like twice all game, a Vayne with a support Eve of all things, and a very unlucky top lane Akali.

That sounds sucky man

In other news I got Sylas in ARURF and it was a blast. I didn’t even do that good because I quickly found you need items to do jackshit

I kept typing in all chat:

"Lulu protect"

"Lulu protect ADC"

"Lulu protect!"

...

I think I may have found a new go to support.

Can you get banned in this game for being drunk while playing Normals?

Is Drinking and Playing consistent with the Summoner's Code if you don't outright feed?

This game doesn't punish jack unless you use cuss words.

some strange things that may happen when you play this game drunk AF:

Ashe arrows curve

the minimap zooms in and out of focus on your peripheral; your micro will go down a bit but you macro will plummet

Your Lux skills becomes 200% more powerful somehow (she's apparently a strong pick when intoxicated)

your chat will be filled with tons of unimaginable typing errors approaching gibberish

Contrary to popular belief, you won't necessary outright feed, in fact, its entirely possible in a Normals game to still play okay-ish but you definitely will be at least 40-60 or less out of 90-100

playing Lulu can still get you honours
