I hate spring. I suffer from the worst possible form of hay fever and life in spring is just hell for me (even though I'm taking antiallergics).
That's not what I wanted to talk about, though.

I've been quite artsy and even attended my first event as an artist, yay.



Just wanted to share some pictures and tell you all that I finally created a damn Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/nanaxbanana

There'll be loads of League art coming up so consider liking it, okay? :D

Right, I'm out. Back to killing one box of Kleenex per day.

Hey guys!

So, awhile back I made a rushed announcement that I would be releasing tons of guides, blah blah blah.
Quite frankly, I've been lazy as ****.
I've been browsing some ideas for my Ashe guide, which seems to be coming along nicely, but still won't be out for a while.

However, I've decided to put full attention to a Jungle Olaf guide.
Reasoning: Current Olaf guides (no offence intended, guys) lack in-depth explaining and most are pretty bland.
What to expect: Pretty much a mirrored layout of my Udyr guide.
BroLAUGHing (Jungle) is the title.

Currently have lots of school work scheduled for the next month or so, but will definitely go HAM on this guide.

That's all guys, thanks!

P.S - If anybody is interested in making me an Introduction banner and a Chapter Header, feel free to give it a shot. I'll give you credit, contribution and +rep.

Well, since we already know how much I love me some 3s, ranked or normal, and browsing through the guides that are out there for TT, I see that there are not that many and of the ones that are out, Aseafy is wrecking with, but he can't do it all!

My shout out, well more of a question actually, is would the community like some more 3s guides on not just champions but roles and team comps and ranked play in TT.

This is going to be up to you. I will probably work on it while I am working on my new jungle guide but only publish it if the Moba world is ready, and want it.

So, here is your chance to let me know! Voice your thoughts below and what not!

The Xelnath post about how to edit the HUD made somebody create HealthbarColorPicker a while back. Since the topic keeps being brought up when people complain they can't find their own champion in teamfights due to allied health bars being all the same color, I'll save you guys some searching and just post it here.

We all know summoners like this, those that think "I know allot about the game and I rarely lose" or "I'm lvl30 so I'm a PRO", thruth is there are very few people around the world get to receive the title of PRO, but that doesn't stop the wannabes from thinking they are one too.

You can identify wannabes (or as I call them : WEAZELZ) almost immediatly, they keep harrasing teammates who made an honest mistake like fail to ping the map when an enemy is missing or fail to sacrifice themselves in order to save said wannabe. Thats when the word "noob" gets shouted out as if its going out of style, my advice is to play with friends or just tell the weazel that it was just an honest mistake, if he keeps harrasing you after that then you tell him straight that he should go **** himself.

Another way to identify a wannabe is when you help him kill an enemy champion and you get the last hit off (that results in you getting the kill) and he keeps shouting "KS / Kill Steal", you helped bring the …

Hey guys, this is a fairly new blog so bare with me.
Yesterday I suffered a massive loss of points due to me happening to dodge twice to idiots in my team threatening to troll and take my lanes so that's 20 LP down the drain.

But then, I played Akali and carried my team to victory going 17-7-11.
My build was Sorc Shoes, Lich Bane, Hextech Gunblade, Guardian Angel, Zhonya's Hourglass,and lastly Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
In the game changing teamfight at the Baron Pit I had so much SpellVamp that I survived at 1Hp not even requiring GA and then pushed to win.

The next day I felt like playing Shen so I was lucky when I got first pick, we were Blue Team so I didn't ban Shen and I picked him when they didn't ban him.

But what scared me is that Malphite was open and they instalocked him along with Sona.

When the Game Started our Jarvan literally camped top and Hood-Stomped Tryndamere giving me first blood and I Snowballed the Lane from there.
I started Cloth Armor+ Pots rushing Thornmail …

Hi guys! I'm here to teach some beginners or even mediocre junglers effective jungle starts.

The most standard start right now is to start at the big buff near bot. (Red on Blue side, Blue on purple side).

Blue side Start 1 (Giving top lane xp advantage):
1) Take wraiths with the assistance of your bottom lane duo. Give wolves to top and get mid to help him.
1a) You could also start with small golems if your wraiths have been warded and you want to be unexpected. Get your bot lane duo to help you and give wolves to your top with the help of your mid.
2) Take red buff with the help of your bot lane. Don't use Smite.
3) Go to blue buff and solo it + smite it.
4) Gank top or mid.
5) Back / Gank again.

Blue side Start 2 (Giving bot lane xp advantage):

Well, it is that time again in the year. Time for summer which means that there is little time for League. So, it looks like I have a lot of work to do in the time where my internet that I am running off my phone actually decides to work for me. The summer list is:

[1] Attempt to play somewhat to keep some skill (haha skill good joke)
[2] Work on my new jungle guide featuring J4, Nunu, Voli, Nasus, and Shen. Hopefully I will get time to work on that around work.
[3] Be more active in Moba Life. I really want to use more guides to see how people play as well as help people with ideas and champs.

Hopefully I can do at least number 3, but we will see!

Jungle is my primary role, my delight, my beloved. I don't normally like to counter jungle however I suppose it is effective. =D I can jungle most people, yes even those that seem to have no place in current meta. Which...as far as there are two solo lanes IDGAF about.

Simple reasons.
One) No matter how many times it happens people always seem to forget that every champ is powerful. It should be less about ensuring there is an AP mid, and more about ensuring team compatibility.
Two) Top lane. If you have a problem fighting you're top. Speak up. Sometimes us junglers have a hard time seeing everything that happens on the map. And you're creep wave position rarely tells us whether you actually need help or not.
Three) Mid....Don't first or second pick an easily countered champ. I know what some of you are thinking and yes, yes it is possible to counter a champion despite player skill.
Four) ADC and Support need to get along. They're practically married. And Junglers HATE havign to get i…
