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…

Don't feed Katarina. Nuff said.

I did not got a picture of the scorescreen or have LoLReplay open. Here is a picture of my first game stats.

Hi all!

I wanted to start up a blog of my ranked games to receive input to help myself improve and hopefully help others along the way. Please don't hesitate to post criticism or feedback!

A little about myself:
-I am 20 year old college student
-I started playing LoL 2.5 months ago
-I like to think I am well suited to progress in this game XD
-I am a National Master of Chess (~2200 Elo) (Please PM if you are interested in chess!)
-Former Online Poker Player (.25/.5 and .5/1 FR on PS, slightly profitable :P)
-I watch and love TheOddOne's Stream

Roster, Elo and Goals:
My main role is far and away Jungling. However, I feel comfortable supporting but would of course like to learn this role better. The other roles I feel I can pass as but am nothing special.

Roster (In order of frequency/mastery of champion):
Jungle: Amumu, Maokai,

…

UGH!!!

So I had a bit of a bad streak. I got kind of annoyed and did something I shouldn't have.

One bit of advice NEVER lose a game then hit "play again" right away. It is just a horrible idea.

That being said, after three losses I played my lovely Sona and despite having a troll ADC Eze, we still won the game.
So far my ELO is sitting at 1097. So close to getting 1100. I think my goal right now to be reasonable should be 1200. After that maybe I'll make another goal.

It is odd, despite having a 6/6 win/loss ratio, I'm 5/1 with Sona. I guess she is my most played now.

I'll have to practice with other champions outside of ranked play a little more.

Had a fun day in League today :3

Went AD Yi mid and got a penta~

Found Fruyti and BBQ in premade 5s normals, and got rolled :D

Played ranked and lost both times :/ 1350 elo-ish now

Started picking up Kassadin. Kind of meh, but I need a bigger AP Mid roster.

And discovered how terrifying Nasus is late game.

:D So yeah, interesting and fun day.

I'm really excited for Season 3, a new start, new elo, new changes. So far most of what I see I really like. There are a number of things I'd like to see stay (such as Ionic Spark and other things I'd rather not see implemented, but for the most part I'm happy.

Many people don't think supports are going to be that much better, but I'd suggest the opposite. The gold flow on live summoner's rift is currently 1.3 gold per second, in the PBE it's sitting at 1.6. I've heard that they compensate this by reducing the gold that minions give but I'm not entirely sure. In any case, this is a total net gain for supports regardless of how they affect minions or jungle creeps considering we farm neither.

With that said we are losing Heart of Gold which is a pretty significant loss. In it's replacement we are getting Sightstone and Ruby Sightstone, but all in all it's not such a bad trade off.
