So towards Season 4, Riot is making changes especially to these things:

• Visual Upgrades
• Baron changes
• Melee ADC vs Ranged ADC
• Support & Jungle gold income
• Stomped champions back to live
• Balancing

I don't care to read much about things that don't matter my role, because I will know them later on when Riot makes the changes and starts confirming / explaining the reasonings more.

I am however very interested to see how the support changes are going along. I've done some researches and collected red posts and this is what I've come up with (a little sneak peek for S4 support changes)

Support gold income, Warding and role

This is the current situation and issue;

• Supports are expected to not last hit, thus gaining no income
• Supports are expected to shoulder most of the gold burden for purchasing wards
• Supports are expected to roam the map and ward
• Supports are expected to buy expensive activated items
• Supports are expected to be effective without gold revenue
• Supports are often tie

I am considering changing my summoner name. When I chose Atropa72 it was out of habit than a real enthusiasm for the name.

Atropa being a version of Atropos the third aspect of the Greek Fates. The one known as the crone and associated with cutting the thread of life. All well and good but kind of gloomy.

I think perhaps I would like to venture away from that association, only now I can't decide on what to change too.


Not that it really matters, just sort of 'thinking out loud' via cyber space.

If anyone actually reads these or looks at my guide than you will know that I'm an avid Karma player. While I have found a way that I feel makes her work I still feel that as a champion she is still a bit weak compared to others and that's not okay to let it keep going. I think her re-work did her some justice in terms of a good kit and I believe the Mantra mechanic is in a good place at the moment. But I think her "ultimate" could use some work to really give her a presence outside of laning phase. To really be effective with her ultimate it basically requires you to always be in the right spot at the right time to utilize it to the fullest, which almost isn't possible. So Below I will entail some ideas that I believe could work for Karma without warranting another massive rework.

The first ultimate I have really put a lot of thought into would work similarly to her old move Heavenly Wave. It would basically work something like this:

At rank 1-5 she would only have her Mantra mech…

So ranked queue's seem to be a little bit broken in my opinion lately. I played a match where I was the only one in the match who was in silver 1, meanwhile my team is all bronze 3-2 and the other team is in gold 4-5. Now I'm not sure why that was, but similar games ensued after this for about 3-4 games. I'm not really qq-ing about this I'm just curious if it's a rare occurrence or if that's normal now these days.

Other than that I'm climbing back up to gold thankfully since I have a new modem now because my old one was so outdated it was no longer being supported. (Yay for ISP's for telling you these things! Cough, Cough.)Any who that's my rant for the day. I might make a blog later about something else....who knows and I hope you all have a good day , and win lots of matches!

So, this list is probably going to be changed a LOT in the next few days, I just wanted to get this out and I'm sure I made a lot of mistakes. A lot has happened in the past month and some change, so things will be different. Check back every couple days and check the changelog.

Jungle:
Tier 1: Lee Sin, Elise,

I've got some nice footage of me playing Karthus and showing my really polished Karthus mechanics. Both triple kills happened in the same match and were extremely funny.

I went to platinum 3 today with I think a 5 or 4 game win Streak, pretty nice honestly 2 face roll games with ezreal. I basically stomped everyone, tbh I'm not a big fan of those games and they kinda disappoint me. I look for a challenge when playing league and when I win and there was no challenge at all its boring.

I'm hoping that at least as I get closer to diamond things will start getting more intense. Although my first game in Plat 3 was a bust with a volibear and ezreal that thought they could base race the entire enemy team with a Nami left to guard.

So with group stage done, tomorrow (Monday) night will mark the beginning of the quarter finals in which Cloud 9, Fnatic, Royal Club, OMG, Gamina, Najin Sword, Gambit, and SK Telecom 1. 4 of those teams will move on to the semi-finals and then two of those teams will move on to the Grand Finals.

But let's take a look back in review:



Mineski and GamingGear.eu - These teams were both underdogs but not much was known about Mineski. Both teams were just massively overmatched and got stomped in pretty much every game, barring the TSM loss to GamingGear.eu. With that said, both teams gained a lot of experience and even quite a bit of fans. Mineski might have been the most popular team in the entire tournament.


LemonDogs falls - It was a rough couple days for LemonDogs. Group A was really hard, but they never really found their stride. The lost to every team in the group except GamingGear.eu and TSM once. They even got beat by a cheese comp from OMG. They were relative nobodies that cam…

So, i am Bronze 2 and 68LP at this very moment. I have been duo queueing with my nice friend who is in GOLD V. We have won maybe 55-70% of our games. I main support at the moment, and rarely i go top. Thank god, most people don't want to go support. Because of that i am usually allowed to go support. It's not even very hard to win these silver people, if it's up to my playing. Just sometimes someone from the team fails, or the enemy has better team composition. Shet happens.

I hope that i can climb to atleast SILVER V before S4 league reset is done, to get silver rewards etc. I think its not too impossible, im not sure when the league reset is done but i heard its very late october so i got a good month to climb. I even played with a GOLD 3 guy once, and won that game too. I am about that life. I even was Bronze 1 once, but got demoted immediately in august. Maybe i will write a new blog in OCTOBER-DECEMBER.

BTW my champion pool for supporting is; JANNA/THRESH/ZYRA/SONA.

Anyone invest in it? It looks awesome >w< I'm giving $60 to a friend so he can get the $175 pack (I get the plushy and other-region T-shirt) and I'm also putting in $20 myself to get a copy of the base game for online co-op.

For those who aren't in the loop, MN9 is pretty much the next Megaman game. It's not developed by Capcom, but it IS developed by the people who made the original Megaman. The graphics look awesome and there's a ton of cool bonuses. They've overreached their stretch goals, but it's only 6 days until their Kickstarter Campaign expires. I hope they hit the 2.75M goal so I can play with my friend >w<
