You know, Nid used to have an AP ratio of 1.2 on that heal...

*checks out location on map*

Well, crap, I'm only half an ender grid from the river. D: Time to consider moving.
I'm down for the new brickwall village btw, but probably am not going to move into it. Perhaps put my valuables inside.

Did three character pictures, but for some reason, I am too lazy to actually upload them. Yeah!

Yeah!

Anyone else wondering which three?

Yup. Surely it's far easier to upload them than actually draw the damn things in the first place?

Hint: I skipped one of you in this quote pyramid.

I have double-checked each ledger already, but didn't find the darkness toggle.

Lag issues got fixed.

Last time I checked Lux didn't have many problems kiting. Slow, shield, bind all work together like a charm. The sitting duck complaint is valid with her, but that's kind of part of champion variety. Some people like playing a classic nuker that forces them to manage their offensive cooldowns.
Second... basically every mage loves CDR, although not all of them have it as their chief priority. If you as a mage have a low cooldown skill and your name is not Cassiopeia, CDR translates directly into DPS.

The signature spell thing is kind of iffy, because the Q is usually not what makes the champion unique. Breakdown:

Lissandra: Nope. Nope nope nope
Karma: Most powerful ability, but the shield bomb is her iconic thing
Elise: Nope - she's a spider. Q's a big tool for her, but she'd still be a giant damn spider with spiderlings without it
Syndra: Sort of. Her entire kit and sphere usage is her calling card
Diana: Yes, sort of - it's her calling card visually, but mechanically it doesn't do a whole lot (apart from preventing Akali levels of derp)
Zyra: Nope, it's her plants
Ziggs: The bomb is pretty Ziggs, but I'd say E is even more uniquely Ziggs
Viktor: Nope, it's his innate
Ahri: Nope - all three other abilities are probably more iconic and more central to her playstyle
Xerath: Nope, it's his W

And because it's actually fun, let's put the other champions in here too! (Tagged mage by riot.)

Anivia: Somewhat, but her entire kit is iconic (if that makes sense)
Annie: Nope. Tibbers and Pyromania are what you're looking for
Brand: W and R come to mind far faster, and how his innate works makes him what he is
Cassiopeia: Again... this is a case where the entire kit is iconic, the whole poison dynamic around her Q+E.
Cho: Rupture is a large part of Cho. Feast is even larger.
Fiddlesticks: CAWCAWCAWCAWCAW
Heimerdinger: Yes. But his Q is hardly a skillshot.
LeBlanc: Designed around Mimic, but Sigil of Silence still is very central to her kit.
Malzahar: E probably has a more central presence. Q just doesn't take huge precedence over anything.
Kassadin: Null Sphere does a bunch, but Riftwalk more or less makes him into an entirely different character.
Karthus: I'd argue yes, because Requiem, while far more iconic, also is not the core of Karthus. Lay Waste, however, is.
Kennen: Kennen is designed around his passive, his Q is as generic as they come on its own.
Orianna: Another whole-kit argument - but Q does tie the whole kit together, so probably yes.
Rumble: Yes. Flamespitter is Rumble's centerpiece without doubt.
Ryze: These days, yes (and it's a hella generic calling card). Oh, the time when Ryze was centered around his E and R...
Swain: Probably not - it's the demon-bird form that makes Swain Swain, mechanically and thematically.
Veigar: Probably yes.
Vladimir: Yes.
Zilean: Arguably, yes.

Funnily enough, the days when Riot didn't have the strict adherence to their design guidelines, mages apparently had more iconic Qs. But not by much.

I think I overdid it on the suave. Still experimenting with the transparency.

Yo dawg. So I heard you like games.

The premise of this game is simple. You're a bunch of people. One of you - the first to sign up - is hosting this thing over an extended weekend, at their house. All the others are invited guests. There are plenty of chips, soft drinks, and, possibly, booze. And - of course - games. Because that's what it's all about. To see who is the bestest gamer around.

The games themselves will be illustrated, and will range from 1 to maximally 8 participants, while the other guests just sort of dick around behind them and wait for their turn. They'll shout over the heads of the gamers, too. Perhaps. And laugh at their failures.

There will be catastrophes. There will be failures. There will perhaps be early returning parents. It's all par for the course in the GAME NIGHT!


Character sheets. I'm accepting at least eight, with preference to those who already had to suffer my glacial update times. I'll be better! I promise!
