Don't attach your personal worth to how good you are at League. You'll get to the rank you should be at in around 100 games if you are new. Probably somewhat less than that if you are very good and haven't let your skills lapse during pre-season by taking a break.

Once you've settled where you as to your rank you have to decide how much work you want to do to improve.

There is quite a bit of advice out there on improving.

I for one want to get things done in the early game so I have a bit of a bad habit of overextending to try and kill the enemy jungler or steal as many of their camps as I can. Which is actually a little funny because when I first started jungling anything past the river was "That Scary Dark Place Over There".

So how could I improve on this and also use the information I have to make the right choice to get the most for my time and my team?

From a game I played this AM. This was a bit after I woke up so I might not have been firing on all cylinders.

After the recent crit changes there are many different ways to build Kai'sa. I am currently confused as to which build is best and I will try and show everyone what the options are to building Kaisa.

Option1: Essence Reaver-Rageblade-Runaan's
This build was used by Rekkles earlier into the patch yet hasnt been seen much since. I tried this build out yet it has some fundamental flaws. Firstly, you severely lack attack speed until three items and you get your E evolution very slowly. Secondly, you dont get your Q evolution till late either and the same with your W. The mana regen is very useful on Kai'sa yet I dont think you should build Essence Reaver first item. I think it should be a key items in a Kai'sa build however.

Option 2: Blade of the Ruined King-Rapid Firecannon-Infinity Edge
This build is one i've seen on a couple of Kai'sa's yet I dont like this build anyway. The life steal and attack speed is useful, yet your early powerspike is delayed and your evolutions are again dela…

Don't have a lot of time for ranked at the moment since I'm spending some extra time prepping for an upcoming Aikido test. Should get a few games in come the weekend.

I'm wavering a bit on the ADC role. With Lucian dropping down it feels a little harder to take control of the lane with a crit based ADC. Or in other words the lanes feel more support dependent. (and the quality of supports is a complete **** shoot in soloqueue).

Not ranked, but I've had some good games on

What do you guys think of this build for miss fortune? I honestly feel at this point its the best one possible because of its high team fight damage.

The #1 problem with my teams in Bronze/Silver is handshaking on uneven fights.

You can take uneven fights if you can instantly delete someone or they are tanking an objective such as Dragon or Baron.

Otherwise winning an uneven fights requires that you and/or your teammates manage to outplay the enemy team.

But to outplay you generally have to have some sort of advantage.

-You have Flash and they do not
-One or more of your teammates has a level or item advantage

And you have to execute properly on that advantage. If you don't Flash the thing that will kill or CC you, then you auto lose.

Which is why trying to rely on outplays is a low % tactic.

A numbers advantage, all other things being equal, is the most reliable play in league.

You need to look at the mini-map and count heads. If you are at a numbers disadvantage or could be at a numbers disadvantage then the correct play is to usually chill and continue with the plan that works for your lane.

Are we a poke lane? Then w…

Hello,

we need 1 more captain to join our ranks so we can finally use our -TEEM0- club tag!:) Anyone interested in the same club tag, just add me on EUNE - RazyeLx

That one turned epic. We went down two inhibitors but managed to come back. Everyone was patient and stuck with it. Not much chatter in chat other than me doing some traffic direction around objectives. Even I kind of lost sight of what to do after we couldn't finish with our second Baron Nashor and an Elder Dragon. My Guardian Angel got popped and I died to a flipping

Jungle experience changes:

I think I am feeling it to some degree. Or at least theree are times I've noticed solo laners having a two level lead on me even when I would have been farming efficiently under the old experience system. Will have to watch some high level streamers and see what they've worked out. For the moment it looks like most of them are doing the same thing they used to do and haven't commented much on the changes.

Jungle playstyle:

I know what feels good. Counterpicking the enemy jungler with someone that can harrass them early and having lane priority. Those games feel like guaranteed steam rolls since you can keep the enemy jungler out of the game for a long time and get laners that support you ahead at the same time.

Losing lanes or having laners that just can't pilot their champions as well as they should in a particular match-up feels bad as it makes it hard to be proactive.

Hello,

another promotion today. (/◕ヮ◕)/ Slow like a turtle, I know, but I can play only few games a day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So far I am using with great success my build ( https://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/teemo-ap-top-9-2-updated-413736 ), so I can confirm, it works on every division so far from Iron (yes I was there too after not playing for 3 years:D) to Platinum very good!:) I am pretty sure I will have great success in Diamond too, once I promote there with my turtle speed:D

I like playing top, not against ranged matchups but I like the lane. And to all you Teemo mains: please die. There are some common mistakes that I see in low elo and when I play Renekton, Sejuani or Mundo I can easily take advantage of these. This may be for a majority of reasons but I am here with 15 tips to become better as a top laner.

1. Have enough picks - For every role this tip applies, because it is so true. It is OK to one-trick a champion, yet it is also very good to have multiple available picks for countering or if one gets banned. In the top lane you usually want to play a counter to the enemy.

2. Understand playstyles - If you are playing someone like Renekton you want to look for trades after level 3, yet if you are playing nasus you usually want to farm up and scale in the late game. Knowing your own and the enemy's playstyles will help you understand the matchup.

3. Warding - Know where to ward and also utilise Control wards. Try and locate the jungler on their rout…
