So I'm buying a boatload of RP, setting up a stream, and making myself out to be something special.

I'm not special, but I like to pretend.

What I need are some handle ideas, because ianxplosion was something I set up like 8 years ago and I'm a different person now than I was then.

I don't really have any....specifications? I think I'm a very fluent people person and once I get my name out there people will respond to that.

Anyway, what I need from the mobafire community is a new handle. Something I can set up across all the e-sports platforms (streams, LoL, fansites, youtube/blog, new games as they appear). I am a drone and can't really stick to anything -I- come up with, so I want input.

Winner gets a 10$ Riot Card.

What I'm looking for -

-Originality: I need something I can use with very limited alteration across a bunch of different sites, and I need something not currently being used in game. This is the most important judging criteria, although if I really like it and I pick yours I can tweak it if it doesn't fit.

-Nothing 1337: I might be able to use a number if it's a sweet idea, but xXr4n5s0mXx is stupid and you're stupid for thinking I would use it.

-Wit: I wanted to use Revolverlution, but then I realized that's dumb and I'm dumb. Something witty is cool, something people can remember while still being witty is better.

-Recognition: It's gotta be something people can stick in their heads. YourMomsFaceIsThatOfADinosaur is funny, but it won't fit, and people won't know what to call me. YMFITOAD? It doesn't compute. If you can suggest the handle and then what you'd think the nickname to that handle might be, that'd be cool.

-Thought: Think about it, if you want to share why you thought it up, that's cool too.



TL;DR - I NEED A NEW NICKNAME FOR ONLINE GAMING AND AM TOO ADD/APATHETIC/STUPID/UNORIGINAL/LAZY TO THINK ONE UP. YOU THINK ONE UP, YOU THINK 5 UP, YOU POST HERE, I PICK ONE, YOU GET 10$ RIOT CARD. YAAAY.

-DRdreamEAM: (Dream within a dream IT'S INCEPTION) Not all that obvious to some I suppose.
-Notorious L.O.L.: Possibly taken, but I've never seen it.
-TrollosaurusRex: Might give people the wrong impression of you I suppose...But I thought it was funny.
-INB4UFEED: Speaks to the fact lots of people feed or fail. You just happened to be in before they did :P
-GoodGuyRegi: Insert whatever you want for "Regi" but I thought it'd bbe interesting choice.

There are the top 5 I could think of. Maybe one of em will strike your fancy. If not Ohhh welp :P GL ^_^

If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.

I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.

Hmm you could work around your actual name, for example ExplosiveIan would be a decent remake, tho I can see that not being so original.
The best I can think of is
Fragore
it's the word my people use for the sound of an explosion, it's simple, won't find it used by other people and it remembers me of Fulgore from Killer Instinct

For all you questions about jungling

Actually cant think of any stuff good enough that I'd take it myself.
I spent hours on my current one, but therefore I'm using it since '06, I guess.

If you want sth that leaves an impression you must avoid anything typical that sounds like some kid believing he has "gangster roots" etc came up with: Shadow-/Death-/Darkness-/Night-/Killer-/Leet- etcetcetcetc.
(If you happen to be able to understand german try watching "Barlow's Schurken Blog" on YouTube)

Also dont siply copy names that already exist/ are a variation of such or just use leetspeak instead of some letters.

Sth thats totally original and partly "normal", Leroy Jenkins for example (you all should know him at least). Or a parody of sort.
+ It shouldnt be "too" plain. (For example some of my other nicks: Moons/Riho)




Short version:
Using LoL as base:

Whats your favorite champ? Alistar?
-> BSE Powerhouse

Or favorite lane-phase position? Mid?
-> The Solist

Often doing backdooring? Try a simple one, easy but huge impact.
-> Running Backdoor

Try combining things. Other games for example with some LoL related. GoW3 + Favorite champ: Ashe.
-> Cold Train (You know the arrow and such)


Since everythings only a "set-up" anyway you mustnt actually do whats related to the nick.
But if you dont want sth that gives off a first impression of your playstyle only by hearing it, maybe I can bandy sth rnd around...

-> Justice Fieldtrip (teamname i guess)
-> TinkerCan (rndly thought about a tin can... ó.-)
-> X(under)rated
-> MaxLagomorph (Sam&Max)
-> BB copycat (sounds like some Pokemon/or toy mimicry to me..? Actually BB stands for Big Bang)

Just some rough rnd sketches I came up with in 5 mins.

That's some good stuff. I probably won't actually decide on one for a week or two, and I'm bumping here to try and get some more submissions.

I think just repositioning your name suits you the best. Old names that you've always used are always the best ones in my opinion, because it's been your persona. I suggest using "ExplosIan" or simply "Explosian" Has your name, and looks pretty cool imho.

Things to avoid.

BR, LoL Terms such as "feed, carry, elo, nexus".

Single words are always good, or names with a story behind them are good.

Basically, keep it clean, keep it short, and make it pronounceable.
Tri lane for life.
