[OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

I used to enjoy math, at least to some extent. But a lot of our teachers always preached about the "practical use" of math in your day to day life, but could never provide a good example of it. So my interest slowly died down. >_> Also my math teachers weren't the best at teaching either. xD

Only managed to complete 1 rune and mastery setup, which was for my old main champion. I don't play her a lot anymore, but it's lately been my go to champion when nothing else interests me, and we're not playing a serious match. When we do however I usually take a pick betwen mage carry and tank, as I feel those are my strongest role. I used to be quite good with just the 1 of several melee physical DPS carries, but he's mostly only viable at lower skill levels. So been switching between the 1 mage, and 2 tanks which I prefer atm. Although a recent buff to a ranged carry might make me try her out again. Anyway enough League of Legends rambling, as I know you won't understand half of it. :P Or well at least make sense of it in the context of the game, and giving advice on what new stuff to tr. Unless you've been ninja practicing on LoL.

I've tried League of Legends a few times, but keep having server connectivity issues.

**korialstraz** · 06-12-2011, 18:11

Which server are you on and at what times are you trying?

I know lately EU West have had quite a few stability problems that they're working on, and some time back (half a month ago or so) all servers basically had troubles. Capacity issues, due to the growth of the community, if we are to believe the developers. They partially solved it with splitting EU into West and East, as well as adding on more servers and making a login queue so as to not flood the servers.

I've not seen the queue at all in weeks though. Granted I've barely played any the last couple weeks either. :P

Math is actually pretty practical for my profession, so there!

I never said it wasn't practical either, just that my teacher could never come up with a good example. One would think a teacher should be better prepared for their class, don't you?

In fact in retrospect (retro-spect?), I wish I had paid more attention. I hear math is quite useful for programming, which I've wanted to try and learn at some point. >_>

Yea, I think my teachers always had good reasoning for why math is important.

Programming always seems interesting to me but I've never done much of it.

**korialstraz** · 06-12-2011, 21:14

That does help. Actually it does with most school related stuff. At least until you get to the point where you figure out what you want to do. Then most of the time you don't need a good reasoning, just knowing it will help you down the road is often enough.

Same for me. Never done much of it at all. Done a bit of coding though. At least if you coundt HTML and CCS for coding. I believe I heard someone say that that kind of stuff falls under coding, while actual programming is more advanced. IE doing stuff like pearl, C+ etc.

**kestegs** · 06-12-2011, 21:24

I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up

I definitely don't know how to program then!

**korialstraz** · 06-12-2011, 22:04

Ehh. I don't either tbh, but at least I've found something that interests me. A lot better than trudging through something I hate.

That makes two of us! XD
