Hexakill Twisted Treeline

For reference I started playing in 2011. This game mode was only available once maybe twice, as TT was on its way out when Riot started doing rotating modes. Ball knowers will know this was one of the most fun modes to queue up for in League History. 12 champions on a smaller map was complete chaos and really fun.

Logically it would make sense that if we were to ever get this, normal 3v3 TT would come out first. But it is my opinion that they should both be available. I genuinely think people miss the map more than they miss 3v3. As someone who used to play a ton of 3v3, the optimal strategies are sweaty as hell, and can be fun to pull off, but not really fun to play against.

Modern league has Aram/Mayhem/Arena for quick modes more focused on combat than macro. For Classic, this used to be Dominion. I’m sure they will eventually release that as well, but honestly, Dominion is always going to be one of those modes that people ask for and then hardly play once it comes out. I liked it back in the day, but it just never had staying power.

Considering TT Hexakill is sort of the grandfather of the current “4fun” modes on retail, I think it would be extremely welcomed by the community. It is the perfect balance between Classic and the modern sensibilities of wanting to go in and kill stuff without having to lane or farm.

Let me get this straight

Riot figured out how to make us pay for alternate loading screen art but can’t figure out how to get the splash arts for the original skins, because they are chromas. Like…what? Can’t the chromas set a flag for a specific splash art just like the splash arts they just added to the shop?

On a slightly related note, what is even the point of having the original splash arts for Ashe/Sivir if they aren’t going to use their original model for their “Classic” skin, it makes zero sense. And then you have the opposite, Katarina, using her V2 kit with V1 model (I know that was a last second change but still).

I know this game is still a big work in progress, but Ashe/Sivir models was something I expected to be done on PBE before launch.

I can forgive some things like the VOs not being immediately in. It takes time, they are working on it, I get it. But overall Classic is such a visual/VFX disaster. I don’t think the mode is dead or dying, but holy shit. It is so sad to see it not doing as well as it should.

I sincerely hope that the first round of voting lets us vote out updated models. There are a lot of things I’d like to vote on but I would give every single one of them up to be able to vote against modern champs/skins in classic. It is literally the only thing on the table that I actually really care about.

Optimal Akali Setup for 10ad/20ap level 1

Here is how to easily activate both parts of Akali's passive while still allowing for other useful stats.

2x Mark of AD

2x Quints of AD

1x Quint of AP

6x Glyph of AP

Which then leaves space for

7x Mark of Magic Pen (most people already have these)

3x Glyph of MR

and of course 9x Armor

You get the rest of the AP/AD from masteries. Fully invested Deadliness, Blast, Brute Force, Mental Force, and Archmage will bring you to exactly +10AD/20AP at level 1. Allowing Akali to build armor/boots/pots, whatever.

Anticheat/macro question

As many of you know, if you alternate right clicking and spamming an emote, your champion can look like it is sliding across the ground.

Years ago, I took this to the extreme. I used my mouse or keyboard software (forget which one) to set up a macro that would alternate spamming right click and emoting EXTREMELY fast. My favorite thing to do was pick Infernal Nasus and slide around with his boombox doing the Snoop Dogg pose. I got the macro working so well that I could slide at my full movement speed without any hiccups, in my emote pose. I would slide up to a minion Q it then slide away.

Back in the day it always surprised me how this didn’t get me flagged for cheating. I never used it for nefarious purposes, but would this get me banned nowadays?

120+ hour breakup ultimate shuffle vibes playlist

Made the playlist after a rough breakup and it kind of just got bigger and bigger, and now it’s the only playlist I really use. Huge variety of genres and styles. Many songs I only got into over the last year looking through lyrics, others added just because I like them. The playlist is named after the Alice Cooper song. I can almost guarantee you’ll find some new songs to enjoy in here.
