This is about as likely as League of Legends getting ported to a handheld.

I would pay good money for an entirely Wiz Khalifa'd Chrono Trigger OST. Just the idea of him rambling about doing drugs over this track would make it worth it to me.

Vaaaaaaalve (I instantly bought it)

I don't know, I liked the game throughout but I just stopped playing it in favor of Dota 2 and I recently uninstalled since I wasn't playing it anyway. I might return to it once it has had some content patches (in a few years maybe) but I don't see me getting back into it anytime soon. This is kinda how I played Diablo 2 as well though, I only played it every couple of years but I would play it very intensively for short periods of time.

Nyx Assassin, Keeper of the Light, and Visage are out. Those are apparently the last heroes to be released before the International though, so no new heroes until September, ah well. There's also this:

I read Zyra got delayed cause she crashes the game which honestly sounds a lot more like Riot.

Just fyi, the Wiki article you quoted says that Securom has been removed from most of those games it lists as examples (or at least the limited activations). Other sites mention that the core Borderlands game and the 2 newest DLC don't use Securom, and it's quite possible that the GOTY edition doesn't have Securom whatsoever. I've played through Borderlands multiple times and haven't run into any issues, so as far as I'm concerned it's certainly preferable to always online-style DRM like Ubisoft or Blizzard like to use. If you wanna be completely safe, though, just buy the game by itself and make sure not to get the Mad Moxxi's Underdome or Ned's Zombie Island DLC.

Well... "I don't care if it's original to LoL. I care very, very little about originality, only making stuff that's good." - Morello The skin barely even looks like Mundo anymore (Could just as well be Sion), and surely Grom Hellscream is green, not red for most of the game.

There was some bug with Decay that caused it to actually heal enemies over time because of the strength gain at the end of the duration, and the zombies from the tombstone didn't properly enrage when enemies got below a certain health threshold. Thanks for the summer sale gift by the way!

...Axe?

Jesus fuck Undying is fun now that he's been fixed. I got ganked by a Lion, Alchemist and Lanaya at the same time, my lane buddy Rubick died almost instantly, but somehow I managed to not only survive (after eating a Lion ult) but also grab two kills. I just kept waddling around juking their stuns, draining their strength while an ever increasing army of zombies was spawning on top of them.

Lanaya, ready to go all Dragonball Z on peoples asses. Also, Disruptor, Wisp, Luna and Undying have been added in the meantime.

Oh boy. Gap closer, check. AoE ult, check. She's just missing an on-hit effect skill now.

Then there is no point in you arguing about the graphical quality of ANY game since you're evidently unable to recognize it. It's like arguing that there's no real graphical difference between New Super Mario Bros. and NES Mario games, because hey, all I see is the same fat plumber stomping on turtles! You should also probably stop trolling.

Models? Texture quality? Shaders? How about the fact that the BF3 pic has actual shadows? You can argue that the graphical STYLE is the same (gritty realistic bloomy 'brown'), but to claim that the actual technological quality is the same is pretty damn ignorant.

RIIIIIIIDGE RACER! There, we got that out of the way at least.

Who's 'us'? I'm not going to pretend that Smash Bros is anything but a party game (let alone a competitive game or an esport), because again, the developer shows absolutely zero interest in fostering a scene. Any game headed by Nintendo is simply not going to have baseline features required for competitive gaming like matchmaking, spectating, sponsorships or even balance patches.

Fun is just a buzzword that people use when they can't come up with arguments for why a game is good. It's actually also subjective, so I could totally see people enjoying Brawl more because of stuff like smash balls.

I always thought this franchise was one of the weirdest games to get a competitive scene, considering Nintendo has no experience nor apparent interest in catering to competitive gamers (In fact, the idea of Nintendo releasing something like a balance patch is downright hilarious to me), and the existing community has to jump through massive hoops (= 90% of the stages and items being banned, only a handful of viable ´top tier´ characters) to create something that has any semblance of balance whatsoever. What's next, competitive Mario Party?

So about that downtime...

The one hero that gets to steal and copy almost every spell in the game.

It was a legitimate complaint last year. The way Nintendo presented it by focusing on the new controller, it seemed like they were talking about a new handheld or a new peripheral for the Wii.

Diamond Skin absorbs only a certain amount of damage, and can be glyphed to absorb a higher amount. This is mostly theorycraft as I don't have an Inferno Wizard, but the way it is with the other two ranged classes is that at some point it's just not really feasible anymore to sacrifice any DPS in favor of survivability because you really need obscene amounts of resists, armor and HP to be able to tank anything. Typically you just want to kite and avoid everything while hopefully dealing enough damage to kill of your enemies before you run out of resources/cooldowns for your defensive skills.

If I had to guess it's because the damage block on Diamond Skin eventually can't keep up with the damage scaling from monsters so you get oneshot with or without it. It used to be exploitable with the Force Armor rune that reduced damage from every hit to 35% of your max HP at most, which, in combination with deliberately low vitality would let you shrug off a lot of damage. Of course, now Force Armor won't work if a single hit would take off more than 100% of your HP, so that doesn't really fly anymore.
