So, Taric was one of the champs I had planned on doing a first time champ post on but I've decided to switch to something else...

I've been playing Taric off an on now for about a month and have come to the conclusion, I'm pretty sure I wasn't the first, that he's the idiots guide to supporting. The ease at which I play him it's almost like I'm not even trying. Worse is if you get your carry fed properly it really is like you're not even trying.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that anyone with half a brain could probably support their way out of ELO Hell on Taric or that I... Read More

Sort of a first time champ post but not really first time playing her.

So, here's a champ which is very rarely played in any level but has a rather interesting kit. Basically a walking AoE CC/Slow machine with some ok damage burst but minimal sustain. Your function is be a walking meat-shield with 100% AoE Slows.

Her initiate isn't top tier but it's definitely strong; with a quick Q W E combo into a small group or add the R at the end for a full on engage as the initiator of a team-fight she should be built as a HP Tank with augmented AP/CDR items. But since your W scales off Max HP... Read More

So, I don't know what everyone else's experiences are like but when the system went into effect before I even knew about it I saw an extreme change in how players addressed one another. At first I thought I was just getting lucky and found a good batch of summoners to run normals and ais. About 5 games into the new patch someone complemented me after the game and said he had honored me. After figuring it out I paid closer attention and sure enough I haven't run into more than a handful of straight up trolls.

Now I'm curious, does anyone else have this same situation going or am I just... Read More

So I jumped into a solo-q normal game, and asked for mid which no one argued about (usually people insta-locking Morg, or Ryze without any word). The second I pic Lux I had 3 people tell me to pick someone else... ? Am I really that idiotic or do people not know about Lux still? Our Jungler (Mundo) was the only one that actually said it was cool, but a Ez/Taric combo bot and our top Malph were skeptical to say the least.

Once we get in-game and we see I'm against a Morg the teammates are calling GG already... ? Wow... I know Morg was a fan favorite Mid and all but give Lux some credit... Read More

So, for the next installment of my first time experiences I bring to you a requested Jarvan IV, and Shen.

So lets kick it off with Shen, well, first I want to explain that while my map awareness is pretty good, it's not "Shen" good. Now those of you that play him, and play him well know exactly what I mean. For those of you a little confused as to what I mean, look at his Ult and just maybe you'll have a smidgen of a clue.

Farming - 4-5: Obviously if you're farming as a support, you're doing it wrong. That being said his farm abilities here were... Read More
