Random Ramble: April 13, 2014

 

My laptop has been through desert for the past few days due to “Heartbleed” before getting back to normal. Heartbleed is a security bug that affects websites that use OpenSSL for encryption. Even though the PUP.Multi.Toolbar.A causes it to act slowly, websites like PayPal, Tumblr and even social networking sites were under “attack”, thus I received messages from them, prompting for password changes. Whatever you do, do not panic and change your password right away even if you ignore them.

U.R.F. (Ultra Rapid Fire)

I’ve played League of Legends for the past few years and nothing is more quite astonishing than this limited game mode. It is like “no cooldown” option of the original DOTA game with little differences thanks to “Awesome Buff of Awesomely Awesome Buffing”. As much as being fun, if you’re a laptop user, this April Fools Day extravaganza mode will literally kill you and your precious portable machine due to questionable lagging.

Even though champions will get 80% cooldown reduction, innate skills like Cell Division and Blood Well remain static plus due to game balance changes, with the exception of vs AI, some champions were removed due to being overpowered. Due to this, the summoner spell Revive has been removed due to excess number of deaths within the first few hours.

Needless to say, there are champions who are still overpowered by the U.R.F. and I can name them: Karthus, Teemo, Blitzcrank, Lux, Jinx, Fiddlesticks and Karma. On the other hand, do NOT pick champions with abilities that cost health like Zac, Aatrox and Mordekaiser unless you need Spirit Visage and Warmog’s Armor.

As for the items, Zhonya’s Hourglass, Guardian Angel, Thornmail, Banshee’s Veil, BIlgewater Cutlass/Blade of the Ruined King, Mercurial Scimitar and Deathfire Grasp are the only saving grace to save your bottom from worst case scenarios.
