It's because the Blues got swept.

Yup. Literally anything not from this Christmas (and was holiday skin related) is 'limited' and will not be turned to 'legacy'.

Kitty Cat Kat was a 'limited' edition skin. Only 'Legacy' skins will be brought back in the future. In fact, in the post where they clarify this they specifically say that Kitty-Cat-Kat will not be returning.

Limited Edition skins are only available for a limited time, after which they will not be available for purchase again in the future. These skins include ALL holiday skins released before December 2011. These include skins like Kitty Kat Katarina, Ice Toboggan Corki, and Snow Bunny Nidalee.

There are a lot of skins that are 'limited' and will remain 'limited'. To sell any of the ones that were designated as limited edition would upset the players who have purchased the skins when they knew they were 'limited'.

Which, is why the legacy skin is a good concept. It will allow them down the line to sell some of the skins that they once had for holidays, yet still there are some from older holidays that will remain limited for the players who loyally bought them when they knew they were going away soon.

But in all seriousness. To this very day I regret not buying Happy Elf Teemo, Trist, and Workshop Nunu.

I think it could be caused by a few things. They want to keep file sizes down, especially with how they release new champions every couple weeks. They've said before they don't like large patches.

Compared to other Moba styled games, I feel that the things that your champion says while you're playing them is much less... frequent compared to Dota 2 / Hon.

So, PERSONALLY, I like the lack of 'champion' talk. With as much clicking as you do it's good that there is like a five to ten second delay between each comment your champion makes.

If they're moving Be a GM Mode to online, I'm pretty sure there will be improvements on it. Especially if it's going to be one of their most touted new features for this version.

When you're trying to make up LoL jokes there truly are a zilean of them. Okok. Here's my attempt:

What did the Solo Top laner say when Vladimir was picked? Let's get ready to Rummmmmmbllllllleeee!

Not good enough? Okay okay...

What player is always muted before you even start a game? Sona.

Still not enough? Fine fine...

No matter what, who always ends up winning a lane? The Viktor, of course.

Oh well, I tried. My efforts were in vayne.

I'm probably one of many people that have enjoyed some of the new 'holidays' that Riot has added to the calendar year already. Lunar festival, Yordle Great Hunts, and similar things. Can we expect to see more of these events in the future?

And, if so can we expect to see more variants of Summoner's Rift featuring some of these holiday themes much like Summoners Rift Winter (olympics) and Harrowing like we have in the past?

To add onto his question...

Would you guys be against the idea of perhaps changing Twisted Treeline in the future to a 5v5 gametype or a 6v6 rather than the 3v3?

As much as I want to be hopeful about Riot going back and updating older skins, I just do not see it happening anytime in the near future or at all.

From a company stand point they're not going to make anymore profit by updating the skin. Also with the legendary price tag it's still going to keep most away. They would be devoting resources away from brand new skins which they would make more money on because it would be cheaper, disgruntled legendary players may even BUY the skin, and they didn't have to go back and update any physics or effects with the model.

An example of something VERY simple they could go back and do to make the Alien Invader Heimerdinger skin better? They could add the 'laser' effects from Captain Teemo's Astronaut skin and make his turrets fire those instead. It's nothing too major since the effect is already in the game.

Again, I'm hopeful they'll do something for it. I mean, even minor changes could have positive outlooks for players who have purchased the skin and future buyers. For a company that prides themselves on being a company where their main focus is the playerbase and keeping the playerbase happy, being in the dark about it up until April 2012 isn't a good way of showing that.

Reminds me of Lou in a way. Great Vezina candidate and at times is remarkable. But, when it rains.. it pours.

The embarrassing part about all of this? MAF and Bryz are both 5m/yr goalies and they've played this way during the series..

Jonathan Quick? 1.8 mil...

It could've been messy if they retaliated. I mean. Their whole team was on the ice. What kind of glass pane could take that much punishment?

It certainly feels like that at times. But, if the CBA doesn't change too much. I'd see us putting him in the minors. It's doubtful they'll wanna take in anybody even close to Martin's salary at this point.

I was interested until you said Horcoff.

His contact is too big for the Pens to be interested. Plus, if they need to have center men. They can get Vitale to center the third line in his absence.

I don't know, I just have a strange feeling that if the Pens do end up getting swept management might overreact. I feel that the Pens might end up with two first round draft picks in Pittsburgh this year, rather than one...

Truly hope there aren't Penguins Icegirls joking about that and posting pictures up on twitter of it.

Normally on reddit it takes either hot women or cats to get karma. I think I've figured out how to get karma on /r/hockey.

Bash Crosby
Pierre McQuire hate
Post screenshots of upset Canucks fans
Mention Vancouver Rioting Jokes
Bash the Penguins
Mention how Philly throws snowballs at Santa Claus
saying "**** the leafs!"

Any of those topics fall under 'cat-egories' required.

HEY PHILADELPHIA. IM NOT SURE IF I'M ALONE ON THIS, BUT I ACTUALLY LIKE THE WAY YOUR TEAM PLAYS HOCKEY. ALSO, I REALLY LIKE THE SIGNATURE PHYSICAL STYLE THAT YOUR TEAMS TRADITIONALLY PLAY. IN FACT, IF YOU WERE LABELED WITH ANY OTHER CITY OTHER THAN 'PHILADELPHIA', I'D PROBABLY FOLLOW YOUR TEAM A LOT. ACTUALLY, I DO FOLLOW YOUR TEAM A LOT BUT I DONT WANT TO CONFESS THAT RIGHT NOW.

ALSO, I DO THINK THAT CLAUDE GIROUX IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE HART CANDIDATES YEARLY IN AGES TO COME ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR YOUNG CORE AGES A BIT MORE.

ALSO, EVEN THOUGH YOUR GM FORGOT THAT HE WASN'T PLAYING NHL11 THIS SUMMER WHENEVER HE WAS MAKING ALL OF THOSE DEALS AND YET SOMEHOW YOU STILL CAME OUT OF IT. SO LIKE... THAT'S KINDA COOL TOO.

BUT ANYWAS, FOR THE TIME BEING WAIT A COUPLE YEARS AND STOP EATING OUR RIBS. ALSO, FUCK YOU.

Something about key players all not being in at the same time seems a tad familiar...

I know that feel bro. :( It's not fun.

It's really hard to judge the intention of hits like this sometimes and knowing how ~~terrible~~ amazing Shanaban has been so far this season with this one being a 'borderline' I'd say there is a higher chance of him getting nothing. Normally the ones that are less borderline get the suspensions for whatever reason.

Anyways, just would like to point out why I think you're being downvoted. You're sensationalizing and trying to suggest that it's currently in the Penguins game plan to go out and knee-on-knee hit players. Which, wouldn't be successful for any organization that is playoff bound when the playoffs are literally starting next week.

All of the talk about Pens and Flyers players going out to headhunt each other on Saturday is literally getting me sick to my stomach because it's yet another reason why the general masses think lowly of our sport. I want to see any and all teams 100% healthy and going at one another. But... obviously that's not possible.

Just my two cents, sorry if you hadn't meant it to be worded in such a way. It's just the way it's coming off to me personally. I know there is a lot of Penguins/Flyers hate going around right now and I'm just trying to look at this at objectively as possible!~

Haha, I do appreciate it.

Every fan bases have their idiots and bandwagoners and one of the things I've loved about /r/hockey is that most of the members here have opened my eyes to not be prejudiced against all fans.

I remember when I saw the Asham fight between Beagle and almost being a loss for words at first because I felt the situation was so... ridiculous in so many ways. It was embarrassing for Asham, embarrassing for the organization, and it was embarrassing for the fanbase because so many people were cheering it.

Then again, every once in a while you do have somebody like "p3n1x" running around....

Sure thing!

"So you know, Crosby gets cross-checked, big whoop. He said after he came back from his 35th concussion, 'I'm not going to do this anymore, I'm not going to get into this scrums, I'm going to stay away from that stuff.' He couldn't help himself because there's a little punk in Crosby.

"He's not the perfect gentleman. He's not the sweet kid you see in interviews with his hat pulled down over his eyes. I'd say screw him, hit him."

"It's not totally uncommon," Milbury said of Laviolette's behaviour after the game, while the Flyers won 6-4. "I can remember being on such a perch, or at least trying to climb over the boards to get at somebody to make a point. And I thought Dan Bylsma should have taken off his skirt and gone over there."

His Comments:

“I reached out to David Morehouse and the Penguins about the comments I made yesterday on Philadelphia radio,” Milbury said. “In hindsight, I realize what I said was inappropriate and wrong, and I want to apologize to the Penguins organization and their fans.”

My opinion on it? Unfortunately, this wasn't the response I was looking for. I didn't want him to apologize to the Penguins. I wanted him to apologize to the athletes he insulted and made fun of. Post concussion syndrome isn't a joking matter and I still cannot even believe what Pronger has been going through.
