Ok time to update my ranked climb for the first time in almost a year. This was the first ranked game I played since forever ago. I probably wouldn't post this, but it has an interesting story to it that should outline a few good habits that people should get into.

It started (as always) in champ select. I banned the usuals, but Shen got through. A guy on my team told me he'd swap me for shen so I grabbed him, and the other guy grabbed Akali for me. It then occurred to the man that he did not own Shen. As you can imagine that was quite the ****up to make as it was my first promotion game.

I could have gotten mad (as is my style), but instead I tried to try out the DST. The DST is simple. Always compliment people, and try to stay positive. So I calmly said it was all fine, and we'd just switch our intended roles. At the beginning of the game it looked pretty grim, as the Akali fed Lissandra pretty hard. Still I kept a positive outlook. I told our jungler to camp my lane as I no…

I haven't ever mentioned this but I like to write poems cuz that's what real men do with their free time. I was just wondering what the populace of the internet thought about this one since I'm thinking of presenting it at a talent show. Also if you could think of a good name for it that'd be great. Anyway without further ado:


Some come at me for stu-stu-stutterin

Words that I’m lookin for
Whole sentences on the tip of my tongue
Cuz talkin for me feels like I’m tryin to walk on
Water
But look down and suddenly I’m moon walkin
But I’m not walking **** it I’m marchin
And I’m marchin to the sound of my own damn conscience

I’m always yellin so I never have to listen to anyone
And if you got a problem with me then you have to wait in line
You tell me to get bigger?
Like a tree you can…
Get cut down, up rooted, fed through a wood chipper
Tower over me with your six foot two
Well it’s hard to call you tall when I’m always lookin down o…

This game was amazing. My friend and I played on the same computer. He was mouse, and I was keyboard. The room was full of yelling and laughing.

I hadn't played league since season 3 came out, but I played today. I still have it with Nidalee. I got my wisdom teeth taken out a couple days ago and I'm still on meds so it was kinda weird playing, but besides the unicorn I speared I'm pretty sure everything went alright.

I've been playing Nidalee almost exclusively lately, mid and top. I honestly cannot see why I didn't try her before. The things you can do are so funny at times and hitting those spears at max range never gets old. Never.

But what I wanted to talk about was the fact that it seems like she's one champ that people refuse to see as powerful. Even after seeing her multiple times in the championship (including the final game in which she beat a yorick in lane) she still isn't FOTM. She sees constant play in higher levels of play, I mean it seems like every featured game has a nid in it, but she is rare to see in lower levels of play. I can't understand why that could be though. Orianna took off and they have the same premise: damage+utility.

I just can't see why she isn't seeing more play in the lower levels that openly embrace all things that pros call good usually. I'm not complaining though. No one that I play against has the slightest clue what Nid is capable of, referenced by the fa…
