If you've read my previous blogs, you'd probably know that I'm currently residing in the Philippines and I play LoL through Garena PH. And as I've been reading a lot of blogs about you guys going to Gamescon, I can't wait for our event here come this Saturday! XD


The grandest League of Legends events this year in the Philippines will be Rampage 2012. And I'm really excited to be there. I was actually planning to cosplay Shyvana, but as I've never did cosplay before, I'm not quite sure how to make the actual costume. And given that it's finals week in my school, that would be a real hassle. Too bad, because the winner for best costume will be receiving a 10,000 Philippine Pesos cash price (around 240 USD).


But what I'm really excited about is to see Summoners' Rift come to life. They will be decorating the entire event as if we're in Summoners' Rift, and there will be a lot of mini games around the place. Not to mention, we'll be getting a free Frostblade Irelia skin upon e…

I was trying to practice those things I've learned through people's advice from both here in MobaFire and from my friends. So I played some Co-op vs AI games (intermediate) while waiting for a friend of mine. Of the 3 games, I had 2 games with decent teammates that knew what they were doing and weren't just off hunting for kills. But that 1 first game was truly annoying (as you can see in my score, it was as if I'm a level 1 player, and I'm very ashamed of that).


I played Zyra twice and Shyvana once in these 3 games. The first game was truly painful and annoying. My teammates would not respond to pings, they would be off hunting for kills, and did nothing but trash talk each other. I stayed silent and only typed "def" or "don't overextend too much." But despite my silence, I was really REALLY irritated. In clashes, they would ignore a focus fire ping and end up getting killed, and then they would trash talk. One instance, I was simply farming in a lane when an enemy Lux…

I love playing tank and semi-tank champions. I just love the feeling of charging into a clash and that feeling when 3 enemy champs are struggling to get rid of me at level 18. But every now and then, I like to try out AP champs like Morgana, Lux and some other champs. The most recent craze I had was with Zyra. The moment she was released in SEA, I went into a craze jumping right in the pool of AP playing summoners.

Before Zyra, 95% of the times I played LoL I'd be using Shyvana with the jungling role. I was petrified with the idea of playing mid. I was kinda scared of being the focused champ and mostly, the idea of being squishy was terrifying to me.


It took many co-op vs. AI games before I could have the courage to step into a normal game using Zyra. I wasn't used to mana-intensive champs. In fact, I've forgotten the feeling of having mana at all since Shyvana uses fury which builds up everytime I use an ability and only spent when I use her ulti, Dragon's Descent.
