So here we go my first blog post on MOBAfire. The topic: the recently announced changes to the summoner spells.
#1. BYE TO FLASH: So looks like longer CD on flash and reduced distance.....wait, its possible to measure less distance on flash? Yeah great idea lets encourage agresive game play by eliminating escape mechanisms so we wont want to risk being aggressive. Am I the only one who sees a problem with this logic? Also since were talking about aggressive, I use flash to attack people. It makes a great gap closer or positioning for my combo. oh well new meta time :)!!
#2. AS IF HEAL WASNT ANNOYING ALREADY: So I have mixed feelings about this move. First off I was like YES now support champs can bring heal and actually be able to heal people despite the supporty move nerfs. That is when I realized that it means more annoying people bringing heal and never dieing cause they tank everything you got and then heal and tank it all again. So I would say 50-50 on this one and I'll live wit…

Hello again everyone,
Well season 2 started off this week and to be honest I am pumped about this. New mastieries, new summoner spells, new ladders, TEAMS!!!!!!! and of course the new spectator mode that was released not too long ago. I'm really looking foward to Christmas Break where I can have some time to really play a bunch and get back into the full swing of things. Not much to truly coment on yet (though the preview of Volibear looks like another EPIC champion design by Riot).
So hey let me know what you guys think about this new season, is this what LOL needs, is riot going the right way?, Are you guys as excited about this as me? Leave some feedback on what you guys think about the look of things here at the start of season 2.

LOL | League of Legends | Items | Meta | AP | AD | Hexdrinker | Executioner's Callin | Situational | FUN | epic | Summoners Rift | 5 v 5
Today I want to begin a series on under rated/under used items that are in reality kind of overpowered/amazing situational items. Today I would like to focus on 2 such items. The first is
Hexdrinker
This item is an item that I almost never see on anyone. My question is while this is not as ideal for meta being AD v AP mid. However, If you send an AD mid why not rush this. You get magic resist, AD, and wonderful little passive that will save your butt against AP casters. Also for those of you who need more help surviving
Karthus (my main) this passive may be just enough to keep you alive. For example I have on occasion taken 
Pantheon mid. Hexdrinker has both allowed me to do damage while keeping alive against current meta AP mids. My favorite example of this was my first time using Hexdrinker Where I comboed …

Hey everybody its me again
So first off I would like to add my opionion to the whole SOPA thing. Please Please Please contact your rep and tell him/her not to vote for it. For those of you who dont know what this is or want more info I am including the link to the League of Legends article about it and they have links there with even more info. Like I said tell them not to pass it, Riot is standing aganst it for our sake (well and there business). SOPA INFO
Anyway on to the skins. SKINS HERE use the link to see images of the skins :)
First up we have
with the Dragonblade skin: I like this skin as it is more assassin like then his other ones but there is really nothing that jumps out me that says oh I need to buy this now. but all in good and I do hope this brings a few more people to play 
Talon more often then what he is now. (seems a little low for such a good champ) and would give it a 6.5 out of 10
Second we have
with the Guqin skin: Now I have no clu…

Well folks with this weeks patch dodge is now gone. So what you all think of it being gone and how they remade stuff.
Personally I Think the new version of
Ninja Tabi is much better(great ad carry counter), and I am just straight up pumped about adding 
Ionic Spark in exchange for 
Sword of the Divine(I dont care who you play as, if your gonna auto attack a lot then THIS ITEM IS VIABLE!!!!).
Though to be honest I am nervous about the
Jax remake being a little more OP, but I do like how they tried to make him more of a jungler and sustainer instead of burster. I think they might end up nerfing the time on that 100% dodge move of his but you never know.
What do you guys think?

hey everybody
So riot announced today there newest update to the Co-op v AI mode. Not only are they giving lots more bots to fight XD (HAPPY DAY), but they are now doing something I've wanted them to do for awhile now. DOMINION CO-OP v AI FTW!!!!! anyway this should give us who like to experiment without hurting teammates in normal/ranked much better results.
However I would like to see Riot continue to improve the AI by making the AI from co-op v AI the AI available for custom games. Also I wouldn't mind seeing Co-op v AI added for twisted treeline.
So looks like a good update and Riot is going in the right direction. What do you all think? good? bad? needs more? do you not even care? whatever the case let me and the community know.

Hello MOBAFIRE community!!!!!!!!!
So Ive been noticing a lot of guides that simply say the same thing. Same items, same skill order, same masteries, same runes.........Even identical game play ideas. Maybe its just me but I feel like no one is willing to go out and release a revolutionary guide on something cause they dont want to get troll voted down? Is this just me or is this really the case. For example I have been maining Karthus for over a year and I have been jungling as him for about 6 months and there is not a single jungle Karthus guide thats rated at least 70% or higher. This confuses me because Karthus Jungle is very usable, currently under used there but its gaining popularity as I used to never see people jungle with him and now I run into some people who do it regularly. Thats just one example but there are many champs that can be used out side the norm and I see it every day I play yet guides are same thing all the time. As a community lets start thinking before we …

Its me sn0wwarrior
I was looking around and I feel like everyone cares about tiers. there are lists everywhere. On forums, in blogs, in guides. But there is no really central location to see lots of tiers at once. I mean lets face it tiers will differ from unranked to ranked, low elo to high elo. Solo que v premade, theres even dominion tiers out now.
So what I would like to do is create semi comprehensive guide that includes lots of people's tier lists. This way you can simply pull up the guide, go to the chapter that applies to what your looking for (i.e. SR Jungle, SR mid, SR solo top, SR solo, SR premade, TT junle, TT general, Dom....ecta) and you can see all the tier lists people have provided.
However to do this I need your help. if you have a tier list or would like to create one for the guide just PM me the tier list. I will add it. Please include the following with you tier list:
tier list type
Target elo range (or unranked if targeting non-ranked players)
summoner name (op…

So It hasnt happened a lot but it did happen quite recently with a person whose name Im not gona mention but they created a guide on Karthus. Now as a person who mains Karthus Im always excited to see new guides and what they say. To put it simply it was horrible. Nothing but a wall of text with little to no real info involved. (i.e. rune chapter consisted of "There is no Better" for every rune he used).
I had little time down voted and I pointed out some general stuff to work on and that I would post more specifics latter when I had time. (some one had already referred him to the "how to make a guide" guide). I went back to see if he had responded or changed anything and I found that the guide had been archived and I have still have revived no response and he has not been on site since he archived the guide.
This is not the first time I have noticed this happening. (it is the first time i had left a longer post on a guide that went archived and user disappeared). I guess what im a…

Hecarim sneak peek
So i dont know about you but im really looking forward to seeing the new champ. Hecarim, the Shadow of War is the kind of champion that honestly i think everyone wonders at some point as to why we dont have any of the traditional fantasy style champs.
I mean yeah ok yes we have yordles instead of dwarves but beyond that we have no elves, orcs, goblins, spiders, centaurs (at least not released yet), giants, or stuff like that. Granted we do kind of have a dragon and we do have a phoenix but not a traditional one (wouldn't mind having a rival to anivia that is a traditional one). So i like the direction this is going.
Like i said though, really liked the sneak peek and am really excited about it. Hoping for a semi natural ad off-tank that can be built into solid ad melee carry. But to be honest if this plays out like i think it will i dont even care if they make the new champ horrible it will most likely be the first champion I buy when go back to lol full time at th…

Hey so I wanted to discuss 2 main sections of the patch notes and also see what your opinions on it were.
First off is the item changes
Atma's Impaler Health to Damage conversion lowered to 1.5% from 2%
Doran's Blade Health reduced to 80 from 100
Doran's Ring Health reduced to 80 from 100
Hexdrinker passive shield duration increased to 5 from 3.
Wit's End combine cost increased to 700 from 550 (total cost increased to 2150 from 2000)
Last Whisper will now show up as a Pickaxe upgrade in the item shop
#1. Well I dont know about you but I like the nerf on Atma's Impaler because I was really getting sick of the never ending atmog's builds every singe game. Maybe you all like it but im hope this brings more variety to the game.
#2. Doran's Blade and Doran's Ring health nerfed by 20. I guess they are trying to force people to start with something other then dorans while making 
Doran's Shield a much more true survial item in comparison to the rest of the dorans items. I'm not s…

So it never ceases to amaze me the sheer number of new guides that come out within 24 hours of mobafire updating info for the latest patch. Now im not saying you cant learn and write a guide in 1-2 days of playing a new champ but i really cant help but wonder how many of these guides are actually good?
Yes theory crafting, good idea, I love to do that, but this seems more then theory crafting. Now I do give mobafire credit for not letting people vote on new champion guides right away(it really would be chaos if we could vote right away), but on the same note where do I start researching for info. For example I wait 3-4 days to buy the new champ because I didnt have any RP or didnt have enough IP yet. I dont want to have to experiment nearly as much as everyone else already has (trust me experiment enough as is). So with all these guides, and lots of blogs, forum threads, and other stuff telling me what to do it just seems to be too much sometimes. Granted I am kind of overplaying it h…

ALRIGHT EVERYBODY!!!!!!
yeah thats right its the first of my fall semesters weekly review update. This week I reviewed 3 guides I thought all of you should know about. 2 are for
Rengar and 1 is for 
Fizz
First off there is rengar fangs of ferocity: in depth solotop amp jungle. by CrimsonSkyz
This guide is one of the MOST in-depth guides I've ever seen as a persons first ever published guide. While there were a few things to work on/clean up, it was very well done, and very informative. This guide covers solo top and jungle Rengar and is amazing for people who are wanting to pick up Rengar and learn more about him. Honestly though if you ever have or want to play Rengar this is a guide you SHOULD read at some point when you get time.
WARRNING this guide is very very long so be prepared.
Secondly we have Remember Every Kill- A Solo-Top Rengar Guide by TboydSteam
This guide is a significantly smaller Rengar guide then the first one. It is more a of nice semi-compact summarized…

league of legends | Syndra | Mid | Support | bot | lol | question | debate | discussion
Syndra is that she kind of needs some buffs. However I wonder if she would make a good heavy harass support role? Also does anyone see her as a viable counter to some other ap mid champ? well there's the 2 questions, let the debates and opinions begin.

So I was able to get off and try the newest patch/newest champion yesterday. First Off I also used the Refund Tokens to send back a skin I didnt use much at all and bought Kha'Zix with it. Tokens are easy to use and your RP is spendable after re logging or playing 1 game.
As for Kha'Zix I had a semi-rough game due usually high lag, (went 5/7/7) However I love the feel of him, He should be a good jungler or solo top as a counter to some champs. Im Thinking about trying a rush a sheen early, not sure I want to get a full tri-force early maybe late game. Also he may need some hp from a frozzen mallet inside of about ay 25-30 min mark.
anyway would love to hear what you guys think about Kha'Zix and the latest patch. Also I was wondering if anyone has played Syndra post patch yet? were the buffs enough to make her viable now?

Anyway it was in some part a team effort aka the epic sona stun that hit all of them. I just went all in popped my ult and between that and ionic spark it was lightinging bolts everywhere and next thing I know enemy team is all dead in like 2 sec and im seeing pentakill on my screen. yeah it was epic, really wish my lol recorder would have been on for it :(.

Well the Shadow Islands patch notes are up on the league website.
Shadow Islands notes
I am absolutly pumped about the new Twisted Treeline remake. The map looks sick, the items and buffs and just eveyrithing should make this map more fun. Maybe we will be lucky and get some more tournamnet action next season out of this map now.
Also did anyone else catch that there is a very small trundle buff?!?!?!?!!? I love this, I mean i didnt know enough people played him for riot to even bother with him but they did. Bug fixs and manna cost buff.
Yeah love this patch cant wait to try it out.
What you guys think about this patch, is there any part that just jumps out at you?
Also has anyone played the twisted treeline on the PBE that can leave us some feedback on it?
