I tried to log in as soon as I heard about the update. My position in the queue was "over 9000". I'm serious! In my opinion, this typically happens 'cause Riot's trying to slow down and decrease the amount of people trying to get into the servers, so they put up a fake number and make you wait in the hopes of discouraging you from getting in, to improve server stability.
That or everyone's trying to log in at the same time and you're, legitimately, over 9000 in the waiting line.
Edit: Finally, supposedly the servers are coming back online soon.
Edit #2: Apparently, it was a good thing I stated "supposedly" since they're still not up. The servers are "busy" and the play button is still unavailable. Something strange's going on with the forums too...
Edit #3: Wooo they're back...

Riot's huge down time...
...Was all for a few nerfs (massive unneeded one to Swain) and some pretty UI changes. Yay!
And still no Leona...

(massive unneeded one to Swain) Swain actually got buffed in a way. A couple of patches ago his healing was changed to 50% from all targets. Now he's not so dependent on fighting with minions nearby.

Wrong, Dogmantra. Because the ravens won't automatically focus champions, you can bet that most of them will go for the minions and give you crappy heals unless you're in that champion's face. Not to mention now that his healing's reduced by magic resistance, it means he'll heal ever so less, since a good portion of his heal and sustain (and tower diving) is draining from minions.
Now to get any semblance of his former heal, you gotta get up in their face more than ever. It wasn't a problem until his heal got hit so hard. And again, magic resistance means you will be healing tons less than you expect, and since you can't refill your hp nearly as well as you could with minions, it means he got hit AGAIN with nerf bat. BADLY.
What's the point of Swain anymore? An AoE snare bot? Slows? Since his ult may just as well be a cosmetic change, there's not much else to Swain other than being a huge freakin' demon bird that gets ignited.
Damage? Just go with Annie / Brand / Malz. I really fear that Annie's getting to be top dog too much among the AP casters, and that's just not right. Then she'll get nerfed, and consequently all the other AP casters that will replace her will get nerfed. Added in with the Rabadon's nerf and the bucket-loads of tanky dps that Riot's throwing our way, I'm pretty sure Riot's trying to kill AP casters.

I'm completely right about what I said
He's not going to be so dependent on fighting with minions nearby. Literally zero of that is wrong.
going to be so op on TT too
(oh hey I was on the summoner showcase fancy that)

I had a guy start calling me a noob because I accidentally stole his kill. It wasn't my fault he didn't kill them before the timebomb went off...
Also, just tried to log in. Says "Account has been suspended until July 13th, 2011" today's July 13th, 2011. I'm guessing its a 24 hour ban?

I believe so, RP mod, usually first infractions are 24 hour bans.
And there is no such thing as kill stealing unless you wasted something like your ult to last hit someone that was about to die just to piss your teammate off.
Zilean bombs? Not Kill steal. Now, if someone like... Evelynn is stunned, at your tower, about to die from say, Karthus' ult, and you just run in DEMACIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA their face, I'd count that as kill stealing, since you're wasting something that should be conserved (your ult) just to get credit.
Helping someone kill some enemy and accidentally get the credit, or hitting them just to make sure they die? Not kill steal. Running in and throwing your ult at someone that your carry's obviously gonna kill? Not cool. Help them if you want (throw a spell or two, auto attack, whatever. If you get the kill, you're just trying to help.) Throwing your ult just to last hit that 1 hp Miss Fortune under a Malzahar ult? That's just plain rude.
In all, there is no kill stealing, but there -is- being plain rude and getting more gold for yourself by making sure you get credit by wasting your high cooldown abilites / ult on people who are about to die.
Though, if you have to ult someone 'cause they're about to get away, or throw your spells at them to ensure they will die (100% guaranteed, no chance of escape, make sure they die quick and clean), that's fine. Your team mate obviously not gonna get the kill and you get it for them? It's fine. Getting it by accident? It's fine.
Wasting your 180 second team-fight changing ultimate to kill a teemo that's already under attack from 4 different people? That's just being an ass.

but what if you need more money for gunblades?
(killstealing is the absolute dumbest thing I have ever heard of in a game like LoL)

Again, not really "kill steal", but if you're depriving your carry gold, and making yourself look like an ass by using your ult and pretending it was all you...
Cait's about to get her ult out on the mid laner, he's 5 hp, no one's mia, he's about die, she's gonna be able to go back and get her B.F. swor--!! owait no, Garen popped out of the bush and Demacian Justice'd.

I believe so, RP mod, usually first infractions are 24 hour bans. This is like, my third. But it's for leaving, maybe that has something to do with it. And there is no such thing as kill stealing unless you wasted something like your ult to last hit someone that was about to die just to piss your teammate off. Zilean bombs? Not Kill steal. Now, if someone like... Evelynn is stunned, at your tower, about to die from say, Karthus' ult, and you just run in DEMACIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA their face, I'd count that as kill stealing, since you're wasting something that should be conserved (your ult) just to get credit.Lately its been heimer and the missiles as they run away, or Kog, who blasts them from the other side of the jungle with his ult. Thank god for that 6 second cooldown. Or 2 if i don't care about mana burn.

but if you're depriving your carry gold, oh god, carries complaining about KSing is the WORST "ks i need the gold" "THEN LEARN TO FREAKING FARM, IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S HARD WITH 200 AD" (the situation you mentioned? Garen did the right thing. Kill + Assist > kill alone literally always, even if the kill gold goes to someone who doesn't scale as well [and actually Garen should get the gold more because he's more reliant on a good early game than Cait so he's a better candidate for kills])

so who else in here is disapointed with the new champ Leona, and the fact that people try and play her mage.
