Best comment/comment update ever. Read more

Looks like it’s a type of material used for cosplay? Read more

I started out playing ADC, and I really liked Cait/Quinn/Sivir/Graves for that, but now I’m trying to branch out and try new things. I really like playing as Morgana and Gnar right now. Read more

Nah LoL has a ping system that opens up a little menu like that, you just have to press g for it. Read more

That’s not really fair to say. The punishments are plenty severe if you’re into League, the problem with them is they’re doled out with little to no explanation for what, specifically, caused them. Riot itself has admitted this is a big problem. Read more

Nope, I haven’t! I did get a warning once for leaving a match, but that was just because I’d disconnected. Read more

They did have many punishments already, as I described in the article. Temporary bans and restrictions are both punishments. This is just an extra severe punishment laid on top of those. To compare it to something irl...this would be like getting suspended from school for a few days one semester, than finding out a… Read more

Season rewards are the only records/placeholders that lol players have for the time and effort they put into playing for an entire season. Not granting them these things basically means that a year’s worth of work climbing league’s rankings isn’t going to be recognized in any way. Given how seriously Riot and League’s… Read more

There is an important distinction between toxic ACTIONS and toxic PLAYERS. Riot and Lin themselves have tried to make that eminently clear through the years in interviews like the one I quoted. Read more

Right, exactly. A big reason players are pissed is because they had NO IDEA this was going to happen, and Lin’s stated plan is something different than how League’s previously handled restrictions and the like wrt seasonal rewards. Read more

They’ve made other limited run League of Legends games before too... Read more

Oh no! What kind of phone do you have? Read more

I DO IN MY DREAMS Read more

Yeah man, Nintendo has so many iconic bad guys that would make great minion creeps. Goombas, those bug-eyed flying guys from super mario 3d world who’s name I can’t remember, shy guys... Read more

Oops, thanks! Read more

I’m working on some impressions, likely for tomorrow or over the weekend! Read more

I appreciate your feedback, these are all things I and the rest of the Kotaku team are trying to work on and improve. eSports has never been our strong suit, sadly. But if you want some insider information, the stuff I started to do with League of Legends earlier this year was basically an experiment to see how… Read more

I’ve only played a little bit and I am NOT a seasoned CoD player (Mike, our usual guy for all things CoD these days, is on vacation), but I’m enjoying it. It’s very very fast, even for CoD standards, which I’m not a huge fan of. But that’s really just a personal thing—obviously a lot of people like the rapid super… Read more

EXACTLY. I want to cover CODBLOPS more just so I have an excuse to say/write CODBLOPS all the time. Read more

Also, to all CoDBLOPSIII beta players: Have any other rad plays, annoying bugs, important stories, or anything else you think gamers should know about? Please don’t hesitate to drop me a line at Yannick.LeJacq@kotaku.com. Thanks!! Read more
