DISCLAIMER

This is my opinion. Some champs are stronger than others at different elos, but this is a general assessment of their kits and relative power ATM in a typical solo queue game.

Hello everyone!

Now for something completely different...

Note: this is my very first short story I ever wrote in English language, as well as from the League of Legends lore. Keep that in mind, please :-)) Any criticism is welcome.

************************************************************************************



He was running through the forest like a wind. Like a beast he - actually - was. His senses were keen, body in perfect unison with the mind. Even though this one wasn't very hard to hunt. He could smell its blood. Its sweat reeked of fear. But whou wouldn't fear for life, if hunted down by mighty Warwick himself? All in all, the poor man made it too easy for the bounty hunter.
"Easy prey." he smiled as he ran.

Warwick always referred to his bounties as "it". No need to get personal. Just get the name, description, last location someone saw IT and how much will they pay for the corpse. He did not like "fresh deliveries", as his bestial instincts were getting the best …

Here is a list of my sigs and a special thanks to who made them <3

Yo.

Wanted to talk a little about shoving lane to tower 24/7.
It works the best for bot lane due having more vision, sustain
and more range and/or poke than other lanes, so it's much safer.

I'm kinda tired of bot lane that only focuses on keeping lane
frozen and always landing the very last basic attack. Doesn't
create much action in the lane, but obviously this fits for
some of the ADC's, but let's talk generally here.

Basically very since you arrive to lane, you push the lane to
tower as soon as a minion wave comes. The advantage is for the
team that doesn't have to go help jungler with the buff.
What are the advantages you may ask ?

• Gain faster level and reaching 2 earlier than opponent is dominating.
• Since LS quints are so popular and Butcher mastery ignored, it's
  very common for ADC's to struggle farming under tower.
• Denying counter-play from support, because of minion damage and presence.

This does leave you more vulnerable to tower aggression and ganks.

Hello mates,

few days ago I was overwhelmed with some kind of good notions and wanted to help noobs in their beginnings. I thought it'll be nice to put together some basic stuff about how to play, maybe who to play, and what to do in various situations. You know, advise the newcomers to avoid basic mistakes, that I did and get into the real game quicker.

But then it hit me. Who am I to give anyone advice about how to play? I'm not even ranked, I played maybe 50 PvP matches so far... hell, I'm not even lvl 30! I'm a noob myself.

And what would be my helpful tips about, anyway? Not to tower-dive on lvl 1? How to do CS? What is the difference between scaling and flat runes? Or should I put together all those shortcuts like AD, AP, ARAM and make a little list out of them?

No. No point in doing that. It's too much of this everywhere. Anyway every now and then I see - even here in MOBAFire blogs - people putting together all the same basic tips and tricks and presents them as something n…

They told me it couldn't be done.

But I did it.

Silver II Veigar Main, AMA. Learn from the master.

In the meantime, I've been trying other mid champions, but no one is quite up to the level of Veigar. Let's talk about this week's free week champions.

KARTHOSE:
Skittles everywhere. What is a skittle? A delayed sugar bomb that gives you a temporary high but later results in a crash. Fortunately, on Summoner's Rift, Karthose's skittles have been modified so they only give him the sugar high while sending the crash to an enemy champion. Unfortunately, it is not a targetted skill. By nature, skill shots require skill. That's why I play veigar, no skill required. Farm until you can kill people, then kill people.

Verdict: Imposibru. Too much sugar for me.

ZIGGZ:
Take those skittles from Karthose and instead of popping delay, give them travel time. This does not bode well. HOPE IS LOST.

Verdict: Jumping around with the ground bomb pack thingy is pretty fun. They should give him a jetpac…

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately I will be hibernating and will be archiving my Kassadin,

Why hello there! Perhaps some of you remember me? Well to those who don't I'm cyberskull a.k.a Sword Art Natsu. I used to blog a lot on Mobafire and I did a lot of review in my Review Shop a while back. I kinda stopped because I was lazy and I wanted to focus on playing Ranked in League. I decided I'd return to Mobafire once Season 3 ended and here I am!

I guess I should start by telling you guys what I've been up to and what I plan on doing now that I'm back.

Season 3 was a season I wasn't particularly fond off. It felt like everyone was just copying the Pros. Every Ezreal would build the Blue Ezreal build (thank god almost no one builds it now), every game had a Top Laner who went 0/5 but still built Ravenous Hydra and as soon as the Pros played a champion in the LCS you'd see people immediately playing that champion in ranked despite not having any experience with him/her. In terms of annoyance Season 3 was definitely the most annoying.

During the Season I had ups and downs but i…

Hello mates,

today I would like to write something about troll-reports. By that I mean reports that are obviously false, and you (or anyone else) can get them from toxic players just because you are unfortunate enough to provoke the wrath of the mighty troll - on yourself.

Sometimes, when reviewing cases, I can't find much wrong with the player, and only by careful reading the whole chatbox I can find out, that the reported player was actually one of the good guys. But he did a grave mistake by opposing the troll.

And that same thing happened to me some time ago.

I was playing a bot game, just to get the daily bonus and not have to think a lot about the game. And when playing bot games, I don't care much about what other players do, as I understand they may be just trying new champion, new build or different tactics.

But there was this Jax, who was dying quite a lot. Not that much to be a feeder, but he was dead pretty much. I watched him for a while, to find out he was doing som…

hi friends

I haven't made one of these blog things in a while but I just had some things on my mind that I felt like sharing.

I went into this season without really setting a specific goal. I had reached platinum about halfway through season 2 and figured if I just played a decent amount of games I'd probably get to diamond. As it turned out, there were a lot of factors that let to 'just getting diamond' not being as easy as I believed it was going to be.

Besides some pretty frequent computer/internet issues, my main problem throughout the season was me not being able to stick with a main role. This was a problem that started off in season 2, as I switched from maining top since starting ranked in season 1, untill I started climbing out of silver in season 2 where I played mainly mid.

I started off season 3 as an AD carry 'main' (I say 'main' cause I didn't really last very long). I duo queued with Koksei for my first few games and got back to platinum rather quickly before the Elo…
