I'm actually not a huge fan of the sudden influx of items with actives. It's fine on Dota 2 where the game is balanced by everything being OP, but in league it basically means that where before if you had more than one active it was unusual, now everybody is taking a ton of S3 items because they all have great actives in addition to good stats.
I'm also not a huge fan of the hypercarries of Dota. They mean you can be a huge jackass to your team and then do whatever because you're unstoppable and can 1v5. And carries SHOULD be supersquishy, ESPECIALLY if they can wipe an entire team. If you think anything else, then you clearly never played League during the bruiser meta. Fuck that shit.

Haven't been paying much attention to the jungle since I'm pretty terrible at it, but... what's the S3 jungle changes that make such a difference? The time or two I've done SR so far, I didn't notice anything staggeringly different beyond the itemization stuff. What does an S3 jungle game look like, that's different from S2?

Basically, everything hurts more, and is harder to kill, somewhere in the middle of S1 and S2. The distribution of hp is more central than S2, so the AoE superjunglers of S2 aren't in complete control. Now you want mostly single target damage, with just a smidgen of AoE, enough to kill the little creeps without having to spend extra time attacking them. Champs like Darius, Jax, and Nocturne are now really, really great because A, they can survive the damage, and B, clear really quickly.

Vi is going to be a monster in the jungle. She has everything she needs.

Yes, but I'd disagree on the grounds that Lyrics are actually just one factor contributing to the feel of a song, not the whole song itself. That and what Madoc said about how the lyrics for the most part only apply to the Gorillaz themselves.

Eh. It doesn't really suit any of their personalities. I dunno, maybe Equius? Maybe if you did Beforius trolls, you could stick it on Meenah.

I don't think emoticons work for astrological signs. Just use the unicode ones or their Pestercum handles. ♋ ♈ ♉ ♊ ♌ ♍ ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓, if you need em.
That said, Fef is definitely Superfast Jellyfish (Both in the fish theme, and the mood of the music vs. the mood of the actual content), I'm of the opinion that Aradia is more of a Dirty Harry (Hard to explain) type person, and that Clint Eastwood should go to Gamzee (It's just like a fucking glove. He is definitely happy and mostly feeling glad). Methinks Karkat would best be suited by Kids with Guns (Same deal with Dirty Harry, probably interchangable. It just feels right.), Stylo for Equius (The funk suits him.), Fire Coming out of the Monkey's Head for Sollux (The doom thing, as well as the there's some parallel in the sort of disconnects from society they both had.), Nepeta gets 19-2000 (It's just kinda upbeat and playful.), Rock the House and Vriska fit well enough, I want to say Feel Good Inc for Tavros (A, it has to be *somewhere* on the list, and B, Tavros had it pretty bad and the world just kinda went to shit around him), I guess El Maņana for Kanaya (She strikes me as the one sane soul left, and her role seems to be watching everything break down crazy shit), and to round off the list, Terezi with, I dunno, Rhinestone Eyes? I just can't really think of one that fits her especially well.

So, to do the list in your format:
♋-Kids with Guns
♈-Dirty Harry
♉-Feel Good Inc.
♊-Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head
♌-19-2000
♍-El Maņana
♎-Rhinestone Eyes(?)
♏-Rock the House
♐-Stylo
♑-Clint Eastwood
♒-Melancholy Hill
♓-Superfast Jellyfish

Having played with the mods in SSP a bit before I decided to actually start on the server, I got bored of the strange mix of regular textures from mods and the texture pack for vanilla minecraft I had, so I went ahead and compiled a SphaxBDCraft texturepack for it. If you've got everything else for Jaycraft, you should just be able to toss the zip into the texture packs folder and be done.
I wasn't able to find Sphax textures for: Animal Bikes*, BC Routing Pipes, Immibis, Gravity Gun, IC Repulsion, IC BTADP, Mystcraft, Plugins for Forestry*, Thaumcraft, TreeCapitator*, and some of EE3, Factorization, and Twilight Forest.
_{*I don't believe these have any sort of texture stuff, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just listed them for completion's sake.}
That said, here it is if anybody else wants it.
