As I have repeatedly posted, I have been on a mini quest for silver badges in Dominion. Last night I scored what I thought was my last PvP win on Shyvana, bringing my wins total to 25. I immediately went to check my stats overview and whaaaa? It’s still bronze. So either I am misinformed on the number needed, which is totally possible, or I need to 26 wins, rather than 25, for the badge to update. Boo hoo!
On the bright side, it just means playing more Dominion PvP. That I don’t mind at all!!
Just one more Dominion win for silver – woot! Silly goal, I know, but I’m excited. Been rocking Dominion with Shyvana, placing 1st in my last 3 matches. Though now I am wonderin’ what will be my next goal…silver in Classic? Much biggger time commitment and right now my only effective play option, given my current lack of Classic PvP expertise, is Sona support. So while I would eventually get the wins, I’ll be lagging in Takedowns and Minion / Monster kills. Not sure what I’ll do next. For now, my focus is one more to go!
I have two boys – one age 5, one age 12. Yea, crazy split in years but just the way it turned out. When the oldest was in elementary, we played hours of the Lego Star Wars games on Xbox. And now the youngest – who already plays Minecraft and even WoW – has the bug and I get to relive the memories and great gameplay all over again, now on the 360.
Both boys are on the couch, playing away on Lego Star Wars II, hunting for all the mini kits in one of the levels. They are so excited that they now have Bobba Fett and are able to get to several of the kits that had evaded them until this point. Too cute.
Totally awesome Dominion match and win on Shyvana (again). I’ve started building her a bit more tanky for Dominion and it’s totally working. And I do adore the Ironscale skin. Gonna see if I can keep up the momentum and score silver TODAY.
Besides a most enjoyable Classic PvP win last night as Sona, I also picked up another Dominion PvP win as Shyvana. Only 3 more Dominion wins for silver!! And I finally crossed the threshold into gold for points captured. Woot!
Sometimes a Classic PvP match goes…well, pert near perfect. Just had such a match on Sona. Laned bot with Vayne. Pushed our lane perfectly. Started pulling 3 and 4 of em as they tried to shut us down but team helped out. Got Baron. Finished ’em off around 52 minutes. Good rhythm throughout. Was nice.
Now the dilemma is do I go to bed on a good note, or push my luck and try one more before bed? (PS I decided to savor the win and crawled into bed around 1am).
Had bought the Exiled Morganna skin recently on sale but just got the chance to play with her. OMFG IT’S GORGEOUS IN GAME!! I am soooo, sooooo in love. I have the Blackthorn skin and luv it, too, but the in-game auras and the vivid red, wow. Seriously beautiful stuff. I bow deeply to the designers at Riot.
And it is definitely official. Morganna is my fave AP mage, with Cassiopeia a close second. The Dark Binding + Tormented Soil is just too fun.
Have about 30 minutes before having to pick up a kiddo from a friends. Hopping into a Classic Bots game with Morganna cuz the PvP Dominion queue was proving too long. And I can create an entire post in the time it is taking for all 5 of us to summon. Multi-tasking is a beautiful thing.
OK, so I’ve been waiting for Riot to mess with the font size of the various skin names for a while. I have Road Warrior Miss Fortune, and I knew they couldn’t leave it be cuz “Road Warrior Miss Fortune” extended into the shading around the frame. But Riot…the different font sizes is worse, IMHO.
My guess is that this “too longness” was exacerbated when translating (German is the worst in that regard, from what I understand) OR the designers couldn’t bear the longer names. But visually, having different font sizes for summoner names just looks wrong. You have my sympathy, but please change it. I like the summoner name fonts all the same size!!
So the family meal is complete – a delicious new shrimp scampi recipe I whipped up – and Grandma has gone home for the evening. Tweener is in the shower, youngest and Dad playing Star Wars II on the Xbox 360, I have enjoyed multiple glasses of wine and on the couch as usual with my laptop. All is good in the world for our tiny universe. Savoring this moment and hoping that many have enjoyed some measure of goodness this day. Happy Valentine’s.
