Well, the winners of Songs of the Summoned are out... It's depressing that all of the original songs are medicore rap.
Lets do our own Songs of the Summoned winners then. :P

Here's my nomination!
Gluglug - See Me Trollin (The LoL Trollin Song) = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHfbM4kgS14&list=FLKfL9NbYot4SKMraeZ4ALNg&index=3

Well...

tberg ft. YouKnow - Alistar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-VJUWVOmAE

This was actually entered, but didn't get so much as an honourable mention. Considering half of the songs in the winners were shit rap, and there were Honourable Mentions that were better than those, this isn't that surprising. Just shows that Riot has a dodgy taste of music.

I actually renounced oka for trog when I had 5 spell casting skill, yet still couldont learn summon butterflies.

Eh... what?

Trog followers, as far as I know, can not learn spells at all. Changing to Trog if you're going to cast stuff isn't generally a good idea...

I think he's saying he changed to trog because he wasn't capable of casting spells, even with Spellcasting5.

Since I seem to have derailed this slightly into a military theme, I'll share something a friend of mine told me. Currently, and for the next two years, he is in the Israeli military because of their national draft, and he hates it. His duty a week ago was to guard a bus stop that's on the route used by the buses that take soldiers to their local base, to stop them from hitchhiking.

Because of the number of times that a soldier that has done that has been abducted by terrorists and ransomed off for any of their members that have been taken prisoner that they want back. What the hell.

In non-military sads, I got linked this today and it made me miss my old D&D group.

I guess that what I was about to post will seem crass, but please know that I didn't read what you'd written by the time I'd decided to post it.


First 12 minutes of Saving Private Ryan: watched.

Slavish adherence to pacifism: renewed.

Bahahah. Nah, I'm a lover more than I'm fighter, and I'm only mediocre at love. But... the job of the MP is to keep people in line with words and investigations instead of guns. They just get trained to use them because they happen to be doing that in places where fighting is heavy/terrorism is rife/everyone around is in the military and gives no care about what the regular police have to say. Fun fact, if a solider commits a crime, handling of that crime is handed to the military.

What do you mean? I'm a pacifist, but if a war is the only way to bring peace, and it is a just war, then I would participate.

This is a silly thing to say and you should feel silly.

Oh, Sad Thread, how I hath not missed posting in ye.

So. With the coming of major slashing-and-burning of the (British) Army Regulars, I didn't exactly have high hopes for a military career any more, and yeah, it's confirmed for it being a no-go, at least for now (as in a few years).

I was told by my recruitment officer that I could make a decent go of the Territorials but, really, screw that. I don't want to be a part-time play-soldier. While they are supposed to be taking a more "active" role in Britain's military operations, that's almost the equivalent of using half-trained militia instead of professional soldiery.

Actually, no. That's exactly what it is. 


And before people start saying shit like "Well good, now you don't have to ever kill anyone," know that doing so will make you wrong, just by saying it.

Also, I was going for the Military Police, who do noticeably more crime-solving and law-keeping than fighting.

Where's the joke? Is it a pun on something?
Frequently referred to as just "The Republican Guard" The more times I have to explain to people the more I wonder about myself.

Oh, heh. I'd just read it as a "changing of the old guard". Maybe he's just making an obscure reference (I don't get it, or the CR, out here in Australia anymore).

..Possibly, it's a reference to the subject of the wikipedia article Scaraban linked? Did you not notice that? :"

Three times today, LoL has crashed with the infuriating BUG SPLAT error report. Each time it's apparently for the same reason, graphics overheating. But, each time I've just been in the jungle, auto-attacking creeps with the screen not moving. Why the hell is it crashing then, where nothing graphically taxing is happening, and not at all during teamfights or laning?

This makes no sense.

-snipped for length-

Oh, the shroud has saved my life many times during teamfights... but the problem is that there are so many champions who give not a fuck about it, with Skarner being the newest and the one who cares least. Spamable, decent damage AoE that's only very slightly smaller than my shroud is pain for me, and any champ with a skillshot/AoE skill can really hurt an Akali just by firing blindly into the shroud. That's been the only times I've really felt the pain in teamfights, but the thing is that every single team will have something like that, unless they're complete fools.

I cannot believe this picture exists. Like, I'm just dumbfounded that someone thought this up.

But I am so, so glad they did.

Yeah, it's invisible to all those who haven't already seen it on TV tropes.

I'm trying to work out the purpose of Akali in a teamfight. She tends to be so squishy that there isn't much she can do if they focus her, she can't really escape with her shroud if they have any sort of aoe/skillshots... It seems like her whole purpose is to come in mid-way and try to murder everything that's at less than half health.

But in my games with her, I don't ever get to really find out, since they rarely seem to reach teamfight stage... generally they surrender. Is Akali basically supposed to demoralize the enemy so much that they give up?

I don't see this working against serious players or in ranked games, so what should I being aiming to do in a scrummage as Akali? Just attempt to kill their carries before I die a glorious death?

Nah, I mean that she's made it clear that pretty much all of my personal habits are unacceptable.

...I, er, wow.

No offense meant to you, Vector, but she sounds like a bitch.

Akigagak, I can't remember what your jungle amumu runes were.  What were they?

: ?

I don't jungle often, but when I do it's as Udyr, so... General Jungle Runes are Flat Armour yellows and ArPen Reds, but I don't know which runes you were told to get by the person you're misremembering as me.

Free Week 58:

Annie
Blitzcrank
Caitlyn
Kog'Maw
Lux
Master Yi
Moakai
Morgana
Rammus
Warwick

Well, Cait being free means that I have a ranged AD carry that I can actually play, but of the rest I'm only really interested in... Annie, maybe. I'll try the others, but I don't really think I'll enjoy it.

Now Morgana Black Shield + Kayle ult.... hmmmmmmmmm!

A friend of min mains Kayle, and yeah. Morgana+Kayle in a team (or lane) together kick serious arse, though he plays Kayle like a bitch and keeps stealing my low-health minions on my pool, so we don't usually do that lane pairing.

Once teamfights come around, it's hilarious. Someone becomes immune to everything ever for a few seconds, then has a few seconds of CC and magic damage protection.
