Apr 16	answered	Is there another ending to Don't Look Back?
Dec 13	comment	Do civilians panic? Civilians behind the frontline CAN be in danger, if a floater uses its 'jetpack behind the frontline' move-action. You'll get a turn to deal with it (since the move-action consumes the floater's entire turn), which is usually enough, but still a data point. Otherwise, great answer.
Dec 6	comment	Does the Captain Enchantment Tier 2 Boots Stack? Still not certain that answer is correct. This needs to be tested.
Dec 6	comment	How many gp10 items for support? Fair enough Yves; perhaps I'm adhering a bit too conservatively to the older items. Once I get a feel for how things are settling in, I'll edit my answer

Dec 5	comment	Does the Captain Enchantment Tier 2 Boots Stack? -1, incorrect. Unique Auras that apply to their owner can stack up to one other time if a teammate applies that same aura to the owner (such as Aegis of the Legion and Will of the Ancients). The reason Captain Enchantment will not stack is because it does not apply to its owner.
Dec 3	comment	Is it possible to prevent Max from switching weapons during cutscenes? Oh, I see. I misunderstood the question. Answer still applies though; I'm aware of no mechanism to get around that.

Nov 30	comment	How do I play Nocturne as a solo top? Oh, I see. I misunderstood the tenor of your post. All's swell then!
Nov 29	comment	How do I play Nocturne as a solo top? @Shaun: The topvoted answer in that meta discussion is exactly my argument for why this question is reasonable and acceptable (even if the question-author in this particular case has apparently not done a wit of research herself). As user badp quotes, "Great subjective questions invite sharing experiences over opinions." Gamei's answer below is clearly based one experience: Nocturne has a difficult time escaping ganks, for example. This is a brute fact of the champion, and the nature of top lane. If the discussion in meta was resolved, it was resolved in my favor, not your's.
Nov 27	comment	Is there any way to hide your Steam status from others? The 'appear offline' option is merely signing off of your friend's list. As made evident by the 'Sign In' button in your answer's picture.

Nov 27	comment	Is there any way to hide your Steam status from others? Ah. You read my post as suggesting the user go into Offline Mode, and not going offline on your friend's list. I can see how that would be misread. Ok.
Nov 27	comment	Is there any way to hide your Steam status from others? If you aren't, then why didn't you just edit in your picture into my answer?
Nov 27	comment	Is there any way to hide your Steam status from others? TIL giving the exact same answer someone else gave and adding a pic gets you the rep
Nov 27	comment	When/how to start farm Wraiths on Mid Lane? Whether or not a champ CAN do it doesn't mean they should. Vlad clearing wraiths at level 2 or 3 would be horribly, horribly slow. Speed is an important factor. It could theoretically be useful at that point to heal up, but if you desperately need to heal at that point, you're almost always better off just recalling.
Nov 27	comment	Are there any blocks that spiders cannot climb? Wouldn't 'nether portal blocks' fall under the 'blocks which do not impede the player' category?
Nov 26	comment	Does the intermediate AI cheat? Their levels, on the other hand, are not time-based. Meaning it is still useful to push them out of lane.
Nov 26	comment	When/how to start farm Wraiths on Mid Lane? I'd expect Ziggs would need at least level 4 to farm wraiths, and even then it'd be time-consuming (not to mention mana-consuming). Vlad certainly can't farm wraiths quickly until he gets a few levels of his E. Sion is the same issue. Meanwhile, you forgot Anivia and Karthus. Level 2 is a bit of a silly cut-off anyway; most games (at least, >1200 elo) will feature a jungler, and mid won't be farming wraiths until level 6 or later. By that time, mana hungry champs will have a Chalice (if not blue).
Nov 26	comment	How do I play Nocturne as a solo top? @Shaun: I disagree. While mundane and poorly worded, this is a great question for Arqade. Most of the top League of Legends questions are of a similar, subjective nature. Just because an answer is not in the form of an almanac-query doesn't mean it's not grounded in fact. As of November 2012, it is a fact that Nocturne is an inferior top-laner compared to many other top laners, and there are articulable reasons why.
