My name is Jakob, i'm born in UK and raised in Denmark and i'm a semi professional League of Legends player. I've been playing League of Legends for about 9 years, started back in Season 1 and got to high elo in season 5, peaking challenger for the first time in season 6, and been high diamond ever since In season 6 i peaked Rank 37 on EUNE with 799 lp, and in S9 i have peaked 100 LP Diamond 2 EUW. I've recently started playing in the Danish Competitive Scene, and now also started my twitch career for making content in Danish/English. | ||
| I do streaming on https://www.twitch.tv/erekkkkk where i try out new innovative builds, which i don't consider troll, but just very well set together in higher elo, going for grandmaster+ in season 10. (You should really come by and say hi, and be the first to try out the sleeperOP builds i create during the streams.) |

![]() |
|
Mana Surge (Passive): Not much to say, it gives mana? Use it.. Try get some safe Autoattacks on the enemy champion, since it will give twice the Mana back. |
![]() |
|
Arcanopulse (Q): Well, your main long-range source of damage with lowest cooldown. Mandatory ability, that you should always max first. Except for that, I guess there is not much to mention here, maybe except for the fact, that if you want to know some advanced mechanics (that you will not really use 99% of time), then you should go into practice tool and look on youtube how to make either way ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
|
Eye of Destruction (W): Another important ability, that you should rank-up second. Main purpose of this ability, except for damage is the ability to kite your opponents, due to pretty huge slow effect (especially if you hit the central spot of this ability). What is definitelly worth to mention is the fact, that you are able to use this ability to set-up opponent for your ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
|
Shocking Orb (e): Great tool to pin down your opponents and peel for yourself. Be careful about the fact, that if you hit this ability on melee range, it's duration is really small, so be ready to chain this with ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

W

The slow of your W makes it easier for you to hit your Q.
E

When your E lands, just follow up with W and Q for maximum burst
R

Both Abilities give you vision around the Ability Area!
But... Easy now, your R button has a 130/115/100 Seconds Cooldown

Both can be used to surprise your enemy. They cant react to those in time.
Just cast those Abilities and Flash directly after the cast!
