Anyone here have/know about Lenovo y50?

Thinking about getting a lenovo y50 soon, my current laptop sucks for gaming... Anyone who has one here or knows about, how does it run games like League of Legends, osu!, and Maplestory? Also thinking of playing FFXIV:ARR so I'd like some input on that too if possible. My budget is like ~$1300 , if anyone knows any better gaming laptops at that price, please tell me. Thanks...

y510p club!

y50 is pretty cost efficient for a gaming laptop, It is also looks great and should be better in heat management compared to the previous series. ^MSI was a nice laptop
but lenovo handles nearly the same and was slightly cheaper with just more points in the look category. Also at the time I was buying it, I heard so many good things about the ultrabay that barely exists not really relevant since the y50 doesn't have one.

I wanted to buy a Y50 touch, but I was too impatient. I ended up getting a U530 Touch.. I'm satisfied.
If you want a good gaming laptop with a reasonable price.. get the Y50.
I remember seeing $999 prices on newegg and amazon.
Gaming laptops that have an 860M are $1200+, but not the Y50.
To top that.. Really decent processor! 2.4ghz w/ turbo boost to 3.4!

THOUGH.. I might be wrong now.. this is based on what I recall from summer.

Lol I've been mapling on ThinkPad's for years (it's a brick~). As for the y50, you should be good for gaming I think

@ZaraByte
I'll probably have to save some more money if I wanted those, they look nice though, gonna look at the differences between them... thanks for the suggestion.
