brain dump: League of Legends ARAM-ARURF

ARURF has screwed my MMR
gone from good games to playing against smurf/reroll accounts with small champion pools to playing with bots and newbies.

feels bad man.

alright. Clarify what the dealio is: when ARURF opened I started a losing streak on ARAM, no big deal. except it kept happening. Near perfect team comps and players who looked like they were playing their mains.
This continues until I hit bot territory. where decision trees are enough to beat most conventional players. The problem is that there were bots on both teams. so win for loss, not doing well. and what's better than a bot? new players whose decisions may fluke them up a rank or two. Or put them in the pits.

Why do I blame ARURF?
Because the entire time that queue is up, it takes away the casual but skilled short game players from ARAM. leaving the sparse selection of players like myself that are less thrilled by ARURFs meta but still want a reasonably short game. and then bots and freaks who are in it for win-loss ratings

Draft, Draught, and Drought

So this one came up whilst I was writing something for the other blog over at Drinks with Rob What is a draft? well, if you asked me I'd tell you it is a copy of writing that hasn't been edited yet, a writeup before you go through and edit it. it's likely got errors or concepts that need to be edited or re-written before you send it out into this lovely big wide world. The world wide web. And what about a Draught (spoken the same)? Well, a type of beer. like Guinness, right. well. More than that. According to quickly available sources. Draft has way to many meanings. Not only that but it's used interchangeably with Draught. My beer example is wrong. It's actually about the serving system for the beer rather than the beer itself. Probably why very few beers are called draught. My example of Guinness is commonly served on tap in Ireland to the best of my knowledge. Locally, something similar happens with Carlton Draught (that's the actual name of the beer t...

Japan: The unedited dump. Part 1

for something more coherent, check over at http://drinks-w-rob.blogspot.com in a little while. It will be more drinks oriented but that's the deal. Time for some memories made in the lovely land of #Japan. Hashtags aren't really necessary but it's a cool place out here. Nervousness is a strange emotion, I'm sure we're all familiar with the so-called 'butterflies in your stomach' feeling but it's worth touching base, before the trip I was unsure of what I was going to do. Everyone has their own opinion of how you should spend your time in a foreign country. Or what that country is like and how their experiences would be mirrored in your own. Japan is practically the rule for this as so many people dream of going there or have gone so many times they could call it a second home. Maybe not entirely the truth but that's certainly how it seems. What do you expect of japan? A world of rolling hills, with little old ladies washing the street. Super pol...
