@OMG Sweet... So it's totally fine to do something like this?

@OutlawLemur polymorphism? Hell yeah, it's used a lot. If you ever need to try and work out the derived type though (which you can do), you most likely have a design problem. Otherwise have fun!

@OMGtechy ok... It seems weird to have an interface only for almost censoring the fact that there is a template there...

Indeed, that's why I was curious. That said, if all you want to do is call member functions on a collection of matrices, without knowing their derived type at any point, I can see no harm in it at all.

Alright sweet! Thanks again man!

No probs

@IcyDefiance starting game now as Xerath... forgot to change my fucking spells again

have teleport and ghost instead of flash and ignite

Got first blood and all three kills of the game, no deaths!

much better

SO FUCKING FED ITS AMAZING

8/1/1

and that's when the game gets really fun

went 17/7/13 with talon in 34 minutes my last game. 4 of those deaths were just because I was goofing off and being an idiot. XD

I only went something like 14/10/11 last game, but my excuse is that we had an AFK Xerath from the start :P

it was probably Pip

lol that's actually impressive for having an afk

Yeah we won that. I learned that game that teamworkis still possible (and really important!) in soloqueue.

And that a Shen as support can be super nice.

That's it folks! Word is in, impressiveness confirmed. No room for opinions here.

He saved so many people with his ultimate that game.

omfg that was awesome

went 12/1/6, in 27:22

Nice

that was freaking awesome

I love how bursty Xerath is

He sucks when you're not doing well though

every time the champion I was against respawned, bam, my ult was ready

true, yeah

nooo xerath is amazing when you're not doing well, because you can still poke and farm from a distance

way better than fizz or akali where you can't do anything at all

ooh, didn't think of that

The jungle and I pushed bot until the inhib was down, then the whole team went and pushed mid to the nexus

ziggs is the same way. almost impossible to counter because he can just turret hug and farm minions all day long.

Whenever an enemy got there, boom Yi and I shredded him

so fun

Anyone have time for a game now? Want to try him against some actually capable people

It says I went AP Mid... wtf :P

I was playing support

lolking.net/summoner/na/46161891

But I was pushing the lane by myself, most of the time.... the champ I was supporting died a bunch

I have a new favorite champion :)

building Rylai's Crystal Scepter was fucking amazing

slow on every freaking hit

@Pip have you tried Ezreal? I haven't played Xerath but it sounds like a burstier version of Ez.

Have not, actually

god he costs a lot of IP

and I don't have enough RP... or IP for that matter

He's by far my favorite champion. And I think he's free this week!

(Xerath)

Ah

Idk, so is Xerath

Well yeah he is expensive

yeah

I want to buy him now

Maybe I have to get some RP sometime soon.... need to convince my parents to drive me to GameStop or something

@Pip play some more games with him first. How many times have you played him now?

just barely too far to bike, would take about an hour

@Lokkij this once, actually

I picked him at random on the game I had to quit yesterday, and decided I love him today

should play a few more games, yeah

badass skin

Please, play him some more before buying. A game in which you go 12/1/x is not representative of the champion

Yeah, true

It helps a bit that I have a skill level a bit above the rest of the people that are technically about my level

I think dota makes way more money than LOL, by not charging per hero.

Alternatively, play Ezreal! He's really cool as well, and pretty damn mobile.

Will have to try him sometime

I spent like 50+ bucks for a single hero... just for cosmetic on Dota. IMO that direction is more fitting way even for LOL. I believe LOL can generate "tons load" of $$$ by giving people all the heroes for free. But they are already making tons load of money... so I guess its pointless to argue.

I have all day until about 4:30 tomorrow to play @Lokkij, so I might have to try him

If you make a new account on NA, then we could play a bit, since I am so low level anyhow

we could dominate

que evil laugh

@Pip Well it's an hour past midnight over here so it'd have to be quick

sure

@BlueBug Honestly, they don't charge much per champion

under 10 bucks, under 5 for a lot of them

and you can also unlock then with points that you earn in game

Also be aware my internet is not perfect. Occasionally I might suddenly stand still & be useless because of lag, but it only happens once every few games.

isn't it usually around 5 bucks but less than 10 bucks.

No prob :)

I guess old heroes are cheaper then?

@BlueBug depends on the champ. Most are from 2.50 to about 6, then the newest are much more expensive

yeah

Especially with me playing on NA... ah well we can always try

We'd be playing a bot game because of the level restriction on live games, so it doesn't really matter

@pip Oh that is an infuriating system. Ah well, testing vs bots is fine in this case.

yep

This is the second time I got complemented by the enemy team in three days, btw! I'm thrilled

In text or through the 'honor opponent' button?

both

Cool

Once for my 5/7/16 Nasus, once for this game as Xerath

brb, ping me when you are ready

So are you gonna play Ez or Xerath?

going to grab some food

Sure

probs Xerath this time, play a game as Ez later tonigh

I'll play Ez then. He seems virtually unplayable with >100 ping, but we'll see

@pip ready! Nickname = "Lokkij", as you might expect

alright, friending you now

almost ready, have to grab my power cord

What, nooo, why isn't Ez availabe?!

A separate rotation for beginners?

idk

maybe a seperate for EUW and NA

Okay depending on my ping we can just do away with conventions and both go top or something

I can probably carry this

Hmm, 173 ping right now

That's a lot :(

okaaay I figured out why the starbound server keeps crashing. it has a memory leak of about 250 MB/hour on linux 64-bit

@IcyDefiance ouch

yeah

What was the leak?

no idea, but it's a known problem. I can only hope it'll be fixed in the patch that's coming out soon.

I'm reinstalling the server on a 32-bit system to see if the leak happens there too

Well after a quick google, every instance I see of this is on a 64 bit system.

Might just be coincidence though

yeah, I only found one guy saying it happens on 32-bit, and he didn't sound that smart

and I've already reinstalled this server so many times I have a script for the whole damn thing, so I just have to let it run and wait for it. :D

hahaha
