Athene's Unholy Grail not in this patch.
Despite it's appearance on the latest PBE build, Guinsoo has confirmed that the new item Athene's Unholy Grail will not be added to the game in the next patch. This isn't really shocking though, considering it's absence from the Patch Preview's section about Caster items.
Athene's Unholy Grail will not be coming next patch, but look for it soon.

Jungle Mundo Awareness
I was listening to one of my League of Legends Podcasts, and they started to talk about why Dr. Mundo is a god-awful jungler. He may have the fastest clear time, but his ganks and mid game are garbage. I have actually found this to be true! I have played with a couple Dr. Mundo junglers, and each time I said that he sucked as a jungler, they said, "But he has the fastest clear time!". No joke.
As explained in the podcast, most efficient junglers have a form of HARD CC, such as a stun or snare. Mundo has none. While his

um....what. I don't even...
hmm....so it double posted yet came up with error on first post.
WTH trolling.
I might as well make this post useful lolz. So, I'm gonna go ahead and lol at this I have seen:
someone creating another account to play new characters so they don't do **** on their main account. like wut, really. LOL. WOW. It's not that bad I suppose, but I just can't see myself bothering.
Another thing to blab about. How to train your dragon is an mazing movie. I keep watching it over, I first watched it when it was out in the cinemas so yeah. Just telling people who haven't seen it to go and watch it now. GO. download it illegally if you must < For future reference, I never said that. Just saying.
If you're worried about age context, it's amazing for all genre of people. It's just one of those simply perfect movies designed and mastered. So watch it, or I'll troll you to you're deathbed. Actually no I won't, but still...
WATCH IT!!!!

Lessons learned
Every time I take a bad beat or earn a big win I try to write down at least one thing I learn from that game.
Typically I separate the lessons into categories:
- Mechanics
- Teamwork
- Strategy
- Counters
Sometimes I'll write down questions that I need to find the answer to, if I'm not able to crystallize an actual lesson from my experience.
I hope to use this habit to increase my skill at a more rapid rate than from just playing game after game after game with no reflection. When I write down what I learn, I hope it will condition me to recognize opportunities faster and make more effective analyses of enemy teams and battle situations.

Ashe is getting a make over.
Similar to the upcoming Soraka visual remake and the past Kayle/Gangplank overhauls, Ashe is slated to receive an updatin'. This information was brought forth by Morello in a post where the community has demand that the Amethyst Ashe skin contain purple particle effects instead of the normal, blue spell effects. While this change is on the menu, I'm much happier now that I know soon I will not have to stare at Ashe's ugly and blocky feet.
So, I talked more to the skins team about this - something pretty exciting to add.
As you've seen with Gangplank and Kayle, we've been trying to redo some of our old, outdated-looking models. Ashe is next up on this treatment, and with that should come the Purple arrows.
The reason to wait for this is that particles, model and animations are all really closely tied together - and when we change the model, a lot of the "how things work" has to be redone anyhow. It's really simple to add it in there, and you get a sweet new Ashe base too!

Eye, Take Two!
So, I really liked my last little eye art thing, so I tried it again, this time taking out that cloud and adding in color. I also massively changed the art style, thanks to Gimp's awesomeness. :D
Unfortunately, the right side came out terribly and nothing I do looks right :(
Oh well.
