@Wipqozn The only reason I care about that question is because of the LoL contest. It is currently the front runner in views because I have been pimping it so much.

StrixVaria

How many LoL questions were there before this weekend?

There are 533 now, which is a ton.

Wipqozn

@Resorath ah, true.

@StrixVaria ~200

Tristan

My answer needs more pimping. I won't be satisfied til it has at least 25 votes. =P

StrixVaria

300+ questions in 2 days ๏_๏

Wipqozn

@Tristan Any votes, or just up?

StrixVaria

And probably about 20 good questions in that mix, based on the average quality I'm seeing.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Yes.

Q: What makes a champion a good jungler

I have been wanting to try jungling with some unconventional champions. My question is: What qualifies a champion as a good jungler? I assume stuff like a Gap Closer, Stun, Speed boost, etc. I would like a good idea of things to look for when doing my tests with characters that are not widely pl...

Tristan

@Wipqozn Just up. Especially since it's tied with the answer on @Resorath's question... =(

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria: 266 questions in the past 7 days

Brant

00:03

Nice. I see at least 6-7 new users in the "last 30 days" column.

StrixVaria

171 asked today, 254 this week

From the overall tags page.

What was the rate on Skyrim at its peak per day?

Wipqozn

@Brant ah, excellent.

Perhaps we'll get a nice amount of good users from this.

Resorath

@Tristan I bountied my own question for attention whoring, but im secretly cheering for you. I like pictures.

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn It would be worth the massive headache for sure if we got 5-10 quality new users.

Resorath

plus I don't have any bounty badges yet

Rapida

00:06

I would love to see some new LoL players around. Everyone around at the moment mostly plays bots >_>

Brant

@Resorath Side benefit: Bountied questions can't be closed. (Or was that changed?)

StrixVaria

@Rapida I play bots because everyone else plays bots :P I like playing against people too.

Tristan

@Rapida I only play bots.

StrixVaria

@Brant I hate this restriction.

Wipqozn

I've never placed a bounty before, because I'm greedy.

Resorath

00:07

@Brant Oh really?

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn I've only placed one, because my greed was actually overwhelmed by curiosity once.

Rapida

@StrixVaria same

Resorath

well after the contest you can close it all you want.

Brant

Yeah, it's safe for 24 hours now, until you award the bounty. :P

@StrixVaria HOLY CRAP you don't like something? I am surprised, shocked, and dismayed.

StrixVaria

00:08

@Wipqozn It's an exploit, as far as I'm concerned.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria I agree.

StrixVaria

It can keep a bad question open for an extra week.

Rather, the bounty should just be refunded if it's closed.

Wipqozn

Can't mods still close it?

StrixVaria

@Wipqozn Kinda. They can manually remove the bounty.

And then it's close-able.

Also STUPID IMGUR WHY YOU JPG MY PRETTY PNG

Resorath

@StrixVaria I wasn't going for an exploit just fyi

Tristan

Is campaigning for upvotes in chat generally frowned upon? >.>

Rapida

Rawr, I'm back with close votes

StrixVaria

@Tristan Yes.

Wipqozn

@Tristan People do it all that time.

Tristan

Darn.

Wipqozn

00:14

Also, @Tristan, the proper way to campaign for up votes in chat is to think of some reason to post your post in chat.

Then people might just up vote it anyways.

Tristan

@Wipqozn There's no good way for me to do that. lol

Wipqozn

For example:

You were playing Pokemon Red or Blue, and this is known as the Missingno glitch. This glitch is rather interesting, so I'll include some details on how it works. Essentially, there was an oversight in the code that made the right edge of Cinnibar Island (where there's the black-ish border) ha...

Tristan

@Rapida My highest scoring answer is chock-full of pretty pictures. <.< But that won't help me with this contest.

StrixVaria

@IvoFlipse was nice enough to picture-ify my post and it got me 61 upvotes.

Rapida

@StrixVaria I've already upvoted that one sorry

StrixVaria

00:18

@Rapida :(

It got another one anyway.

Rapida

Some games are basically free rep generators where I'm concerned. Pokemon is high on the list.

A: Do the hits from Lulu's passive (Pix) proc on-hit effects or count for number of hits?

No, they don;t apply on hit effects or procs. Nor does it give spell vamp. It is just a little extra damage, and that's all.

What does NBD even mean?

Tristan

@StrixVaria Did I have you validate my Sivir answer? I'm looking for players with experience.

StrixVaria

@Tristan Nope. I've been away most of this weekend.

Hey I need help figuring out which champion is best in the AD carry spot. I currently play Tristana and Corki, but would love to switch to someone new.

@Rapida No Big Deal

StrixVaria

BTW @Tristan did you like my drawing of booger?

Rapida

@Tristan I still want you to win, I have SLI nvidia so an AMD card is only marginally useful to me. I would love some Riot Points though

Tristan

@StrixVaria gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58252/…

@StrixVaria I did. Did you like my picture of poop?

StrixVaria

00:21

@Tristan The squatting pose really made it stand out among the other poop drawings I've seen.

Rapida

NBD apparently means no big deal, I suddenly feel old

Tristan

@Rapida Didn't I just say that? =P

Rapida

@Tristan Sorry, missed it. I'm currently trawling the League of Legends tag

You will have to forgive me if it effects my thought/reasoning/attention skills.

Tristan

@Rapida Understood.

So, I am really bad at searching through the LOL Mess, but I've seen like five variants of 'how to cope with (Bad Attitude/Poor Play/Jerks/People I don't Like)' that should be duped to each other someone find them all and pick a canonical and link them all for me so I can vote like a good 3k+ lemming.

Brant

Also, how is this question still open?

LessPop_MoreFizz

You know about LoL, therefore I trust you implicitly, just tell me what to close and I will close it. kthx.

Tristan

@LessPop I used all 24 of mine today... But I'm restocked!

This one still probably needs some discussion to decide. http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58797/what-happens-to-a-maoki-who-uses-twisted-advanced-on-a-teleporting-target/58815#58815
I'm inclined to close it since it covers the same mechanics while swapping the champions.

Can we do anything to split this into a comment/answer? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58812/…

Brant

A mod can!

Rapida

DIAF: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58827/…

Brant

Hrm. It's technically a list question, but I wonder if we can salvage it somehow.

Rapida

Is this a dupe or something I pointed to as original on another dupe? gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58807/…

Brant

That's the original version of another dupe (already closed)

Rapida

@Brant I was thinking overly broad since every champion in the game can be played in multiple roles

Even if they don't excel at them

Brant

Good point.

Oh wait, apparently I already voted to close that anyway.

Rapida

Q: What happened to the Journal of Justice?

The last one was released in July 2011 and I loved to read them. I thought the stories were in depth and you got to learn about a lot of the champions. Does Riot plan on bringing this back or is it a lost cause?

I like the new one better, though. The old one from '010 is just asking for a list.

@StrixVaria @Rapida agree

Sterno

Rapida

StrixVaria

@Rapida Or asking about the viability of the recommended items.

Rapida

These are very similar about ragers: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58602/… gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58744/…

LessPop_MoreFizz

I've been here too long. I'm reading questions and thinking they are dupes because I saw them during the day.

Brant

@Rapida Yeah, some of the questions you linked have made me think "Hmm, that's a good one, I should upvote it" but then I check and realize I voted to close a few hours ago

Time for me to immerse myself in KnowYourMeme.com and return when I am ready to once again engage in Internet discourse.

Brant

I just mass-texted "Dental plan!" to a bunch of people. Two people responded appropriately so far.

Rapida

I think gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58744/… is a dupe of gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58602/… granted I don't know if we want either question.

Brant

Definitely dupes, not sure about either's continued existence.

Rapida

Not sure which we want to dupe as the other

Brant

Juan Manuel

I don't play LoL so I can't really judge it, multiple flags in the same post asking for it would give us the security to do it

(merging I mean)

Rapida

So flag them as merges if they are close with good answers on both?

(I'll stop spamming chat here shortly, just doing my part as a high rep LoL player)

Another dupe IMO: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58733/…

Juan Manuel

A merge is good when the newer version has a better answer, or if they are EXACT duplicates

Rapida

Well I like the merge on these then: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/58018/… gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/15981/…
