Fake Upvotes

Ok I'm not one for *****ing, but something's been pissing me off about certain guides in the community. No better place to rant about it than here.

It's about fake accounts. I like to browse the new guides whenever I get on MobaFire, and I do this because about 90% of the content put out is either garbage, walls of text, or misguided people putting up things they don't know about. I like to help these people and most of the time what I do is pretty helpful. Hell, this guide used to be a huge wall of text with wierd builds:
Dat Kog'Maw Guide
Not exactly the one I was planning on showing, but I can't find the one that had like 7 "Very good" comments on it;
I mean it's not their fault most of the time. My Jax guide was literally just like it when it first came out. But the thing that ticks me off is seeing people use fake accounts to upvote a trash guide. I mean MobaFire has IP tracking, but people manipulate this by using friends or a different IP. It's just annoying to see undeserving…

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?

Just an idea. I feel like the PBE forums have the potential to be a great resource for designers and players alike, so I created these to give a shot at putting some life into the forum.

JOIN ME!!! BE THE REVOLUTION!!!

There are so many badass people from back in the day. They are getting to be so few and far between these days. I think about the talent pool today in movies and music and I just want to jump off a bridge. Everyone is so shallow, talentless, and have no true personality of their own. There's maybe a handful of true, creative artists/performers these days. Does anyone else feel this way? Sometimes I feel like I should've been born way before I had been, so I could enjoy those people in real-time. I swear to God, the movie, Idiocracy has it dead on about the future. lmao

Smart Casting

So yesterday I started to use Smartcast and it's really awesome you can react so much faster - even though you will most likely be a lil bit confused for the first games because you still want to click your skills :/

The thing is up to now I never used them and I think this will benefit me after some time greatly it makes many things much easier and better.
  • instant spamming your skills by just rolling your head over the keyboard, no need to click with your mouse :) makes it really awesome for champs like Lux that have to fire their shots one after another!
  • you can get way more cs with champs like Ezreal
  • your reaction time is just better

I know I am a noob for not using it before :/
I'm lvl 30 about 550w and because I am not that new to the game and haven't used them before, so I wanted to share that information with you. So maybe some of you will start to use smartcast!

You can activate smartcasting ingame --> options --> keybindings
scroll down and there you can activate it!

As we progress into 2012,



League of Legends finds its champion roster closing in on the 100 mark. While many enjoy the amount of choices that are given, as DotA had a number similar to what League is getting to, I feel that having this many champions may too much for Riot to continue balancing. As we're seeing the new champion, Sejuani, looking like a scrambled mess of past champions put together, Riot ahould focus more on other aspects of League of Legends, and slow the champion making process: possibly removing some of the lesser used and forgotten champions.

Frankly, looking at the champions that are mostly used, I can think off of the top of my head some champions that you just will not see unless someone is out to troll: Evelynn, Heimerdinger, Karma, Katarina, Urgot; these champions have not found a way in recent times to be remotely useful [With Karma and Katarina being the closest to useable] and sit on the sidelines to only be used when someone feels lucky and hit…

So I just finished watching he first two episodes of My Little Pony Season 1. I have to say, I liked it more than I thought I would. At first since there was a pony thread on this site, I decided to watch a few episodes to see what I would think, and I ended up enjoying seeing Twilight make friends in ponyville.

Just shows that I should try something before I bash it.

New Skins in the Store

Sabretusk Sejuani
Darkrider Sejuani

How unexpected.

PVP.net v1.52

Ranked Teams
Ranked Team roster size has been increased to a maximum of 9
Provisional Ranked Teams will now be automatically disbanded after a certain period of time to prevent name squatting
Made it easier to invite members of your Ranked Team to a group chat
Team Tags will now show up in more parts of the PVP.net and in game UI
Team Game invites will now play a different sound to differentiate from normal invites
Team Member status will now show up in the Team Profile screen so you can see who is online and available to play
Cleaned up the Ranked Team creation process to be more clear
Tweaked the Ranked Team matchmaking algorithm to be more accurate

Looks all fine and dandy. My only concern might be the length of time for deletion of a ranked team, and possibly (unsure about this) the obnoxious spamming of team names, if there is no option to turn them on and off in certain areas. That asid

I noticed a lot of my friends have been jumping in to League of Legends and asking for small tips. I decided to write 10 tips for you guys. First thing first ::

I'm not ELO 1737 like Phreak or anything. You can take my advices or not. I'm not sure if I should call this some sort of guide. Everyone has different playing style and you have the right to ignore all my words. These are the things I learned through experience or someone yelling at me. This is about Summoner's Rift 5v5. This is what I normally think about. You can always disagree with me.

1.) "You can't make Cake with just Sugar." When I first started playing, everyone played carry; that included Ash, Akali, Miss. Fortune etc. I lost a lot. LoL is about team cooperation and there's different roles. Everyone wants to be the best, get all the kills, and brag about how much they brought four other people into victory. You really can not win a normal game with only carries. Plus in my personal opinion carries can be tiring or …

Duo queue with TheGrandmasterD

Matchups:

Top: Gangplank vs Kayle
Middle: Xerath vs Vladimir
Bottom: Vayne and Alistar vs Graves and Soraka
Jungle: Lee Sin vs Udyr


Result:




Fun game, I decided to pick up a support to try and make sure our Vayne first pick would be in relatively good hands.

First blood happened up top as Kayle got a pretty early kill on Gangplank. He was losing his lane pretty badly, untill Kayle took the turret and Gangplank basically free farmed all day.

Every other lane seemed to go fine. Lee Sin was doing work everywhere and was really the one who pushed us to an advantage after a rather bad start of the game.
Bottom lane we managed to trade a few kills here and there as Lee Sin ganked. I did **** up a couple of times not taking turret agro soon enough so Vayne got it and ended up dying 2 times for it.

I didn't really see what was going on around the map as I was eating at the same time, so I can't say much more, except that we won the game by winning a cru…
