To add to this weeks All-Star festivities going down in Shang-hai, Riot Games unveiled a completely redesigned Magma Chamber map. While the original was intended to provide 5 man teams with smaller, more tactical fights across a large map, this new iteration is designed for just 1v1 and 2v2 fights with the overall map significantly smaller than its predecessor.

Although your favorite pros will be testing their skills on it all week, the Magma Chamber map won't be seeing public play until right before the start of Season 4, so enjoy this little taste of what's to come.

There is a new community getting created for 1v1 tournaments on the Magma Chambers map. They have been hosting successful tournaments for months now, teasing their system and preparing everything for launch. They give away Razer Prizes to the first place winner in the tournaments and Riot Points or Paypal money to the chatroom.

From the look of it, it seems legit. The founder is a streamer on twitch called cdxsc2 and his website for the tournaments is cdxstream [dot] com

Gotta love LOL; they did solething right... then realized their audience are brainless ADD "rush the middle with all assassins" and they change the game to cater to them XD, Large map with smaller tactical battles for 5 man groups......AWESOME and NEEDED....oh... forgot out audience buy assassins by the truck load andpour into the ARMA gameplay...guess we will patch that idea.... Screw LoL, uninstallled after "beating the game" (had best everything, rank, character progression, purchases).... just had to many basement dwellers, non competitice "we want instant action now" fan bois spill into the arena and change the feel. In fact, the division between cash playing zombies, and people that enjoy stratgic battles is so great they should just call the game League of Teemos and assassins.

My interest in League of Legends dropped substantially. It took me months of trying uninstalling and trying again until i finally understood why it was so popular. I ended up spending like 15 bucks on champions and leveld up to 30 or whatever i forget now lol. but every time i try to play now it is dead inside. I like Fiora and Nocturne the best and I used to like lux and miss fortune. etc. the game bores me to death the latest map i tried was terrible. i have been banned several times for leaving early on out of boredom. im glad its over. it hooked me for a good 2 or 3 months. i see the game as a novelty now but i will probably screw with it again. i like the original game mode and rarely dominion because of its fast pace.

I love to see new things adding to LoL but what i would much more welcome is, if the DAMN SERVER WOULD LET US LOG IN. 5 dam days now im not able to join at all with my account. Im not the only one. I also wrote on the forum already about it. Its so awfule.
After reading this morning thru the LoL forum again, it seems like the other servers are going to have the same problems now too.
5 Days i just cant log in.

They dont mention it at all. They just keep coming up with new skins and this all star weekend, like i do care. I DONT, i wanna play by myself.

sigh, im still so mad and if i wont be able to join on this weekend, i will go back to Dota2.
