Who says size doesn't matter?

This time my question concerns hitboxes. Nowhere does it say the size of a champion hitbox.

and also, do larger champions have larger hitboxes. this seems unlikely to me as it will make the game a little unfair, with a few champions being easier to hit than smaller ones.

e.g Hecarim and Nautilus bring easier to hit than

After a long struggle I finally made it back to Platinum. Though yes, as the title of the blog implies, I really haven't achieved anything for myself. The goal this season is Diamond and it's a long road ahead with limited time to go, so let's see if I can do the trick once more.

A fun fact, I lost the first game of the series with Viktor, my current main champion. Can't say that game was my fault though, I had the enemy

Spellbreaker Removed

The new AD/MR/Crit upgrade for Hexdrinker seemes to have been removed from both the AIR and Game client. This is likely due to the current PBE being polished up for a live release and Spellbreaker needing additional balacing / testing. No official word yet.

:((((((((((((((((((((

-Hey guys I just figured I would try out the new ARAM feature that everyone says is awesome.... I don't think it's for me lol. I'll give it another try and upload later to show you all how I do. :)

Patch talk time. Might as well throw my opinion out there into the sea of opinions.

Things I care most about about:

Sejuani's Soviet Bear skin
Now it just needs a special dialogue or passive with Volibear, then it'll be golden.

Things that I care about that you care about:

Jungle changes again. Seems like this is to counter counter jungling. I once got wasted by a shaco that invaded my jungle solo and ate everything on the red side. So I guess pushing back small camp times will give less incentive to stick around. Gotta play the changes myself to get a real feel for it.

R.I.P. Runic Bulwark. My Bruiser, Support, and Jungle builds will never be the same without you. I suppose having Aegis upgrade into Locket with the same aura is a step up. It will definitely be moved from my "In case of Karthus: Break Glass" list.

Banshee's and Spectre's Cowl. First impressions are bad. I don't see such a small amount of health over time useful to champs unless they can dart in and out of the ba…

Sorry this is delayed, I haven't been playing that much and I should update since I've let the last patch settle down (ken/jayce nerfs)

Not much has really changed, but the list should be at least once a month...Don't ***** at me for not changing much. Kennen is still a very dominant lane bully, but the nerf was significant and the tier list reflects it.

Jungle:
Tier 1: Lee Sin,

I'm gonna take a short break from Ranked and practice some champs. Two reasons: 1) my wife was gone to a training all week so I was able to play enough to get all of my placement matches in this week and 2) my internet has been pretty solid and I had several periods where I lagged a lot last night. I might play one Monday since I had to take the day off to get a recall on her car fixed, but other than that, it'll probably be a couple of weeks before I try ranked again.

I had a lot of yard work to do last night, so it was late before I got on. I decided instead of Ranked I would try a couple of champs. First, i tried out Rumble again. I really wanna get good with him, but I suck at CSing with him. That and I forgot that I needed to turn smartcast for his ult off. First time Nidalee tower dove I could have gotten a kill on her too, but my ult didn't go off.

Second game I played with some friends, so I decided to goof off and play

If you already read my Udyr guide, you will know, that I posted an experimental build there, because only if you search for new builds, you will find the best. And so many unkown builds (Blue Ezreal, lol) got through testing like this possible and popular, before that, somebody would have flamed you for building that.

So, lets start with my first experimental build. I latelty was thinking about a super tanky top laner which has high base damage and great cc, but isn't really played there. I found one: Alistar. As you know,

First thing to note: I'm unranked. I'm trying to master more difficult techniques before I throw my hand at ranked. I'd also like to stand on equal ground against some Silver-ranked friends or be able to occasionally beat my Gold-ranked friends. Part of this preparation is understanding how the ranked system works. This is what I've deduced so far about LP Clamping.

===============================

So from what I understand, LP clamping occurs //specifically// when a ranked player is ready to move up a tier (ie, bronze I to silver V, platinum I to diamond V). It may or may not occur between the individual divisions, as it might be a weakened pull for division changes.

The trigger for LP clamping is when there is a set "average" or "minimum" MMR (player skill level) that the player ready to move into the division does not meet the requirement for. That is to say, a Silver I player who is LP-ready to move into Gold V does not meet the MMR requirement for Gold V and/or Gold Tier.

As …

What's up, Mobafire!

I've been thinking about changing my summoner name for a long, long time. Together with my buddy harakoniwhawk (as he was called back then), I once thought about some cool names, at a time when the name change was on sale. Eventually, he became Gabriel Santar. I am still Wayne3100. The reason? It's simple: I have no new name I like.

To be honest, I don't think there's much wrong with Wayne3100. I like the number, I like my own name :3 It's what I always use, I fill it in automatically, because I'm used to it... It's me.

However, there also lies the problem. As I said, it's what I always use. It's boring. Bland. Uncreative. Unexciting. Now, something inside me cries for change. Something new, something fresh. Something like... A cool fantasy name, a clever name / wordplay, or even a funny and slightly troll name (not one I'll start hating after a while, though).

Who knows, maybe, if someone comes up with a brilliant suggestion and I'm in the shop, going for that…
