So then, I suppose it stands to note that I seem to be skipping every other entry here. Ah well, I'll get the others in another post at some point, though I'm sure it won't be nearly as detailed. Without further audeui, I present to you my rendition of my sixth victory straight with Caitlyn in a normal. In this case, the sixth case being a draft match, I am quite proud of how I did overall.

Lane: Bot
Role: ADC
Champ: Caitlyn
Endgame total score: 7/1/4
Support: Nautilus
CS:307
End Build: Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Berserker Greaves, Phantom Dancer, Last Whisper
Gold total: 15.3k

Our lineup:

Garen, Top
Lux, Mid
Warwick, Jungle
Nautilus, Support
Caitlyn, ADC

Their lineup:

Singed, Top
Morgana, Mid
Trynd, Jungle
Janna, Support
Miss Fortune, ADC

So again, early on, I got pretty well dominated by the MF. I'm starting to notice I really need to work on my early game with Cait, I usually have a much easier time with other champs, but I do make it fairly hard to gank bot lane from any s…

I am feeling like sharing my opinions on who might need a slight/moderate nerf/buff. TOPIC #1: Garen I feel that Garen is a bit too strong as of now. Whenever I play him solo queue top I stomp (I love playing Garen btw). Whenever I face him in solo queue top I get stomped. He is too much of a lane bully and his counter, poke, has a very mediocre effect on him. Change suggestion #1: nerf his passive's CD. It should probably be somewhere near 12 seconds (instead of 9). Change suggestion #2: nerf his q silence time down to 2 seconds (from 2.5). Then I would feel better about playing a "counter" to Garen. TOPIC #2: Thresh Now, on a completely different note, I feel like Thresh is a bit weak compared to other champs like him (aggressive support/bruiser). His ult has a WAY, WAY, WAY too long CD. Seriously wtf melee champs just go like "Oh ders a cage here. Better stay in it." It needs to A: Have an effect on whoever is inside it or have a MUCH lower CD such as: 110/95/80 (down from 150/140/1…

Well I made it to lvl 30and I'm excited to work with runes!
I was honestly surprised to see that my blog was even seen, let alone replied to by anyone. I received what seems like great advice which I intend to take. I will be waiting and preparing myself before I begin ranked play. Although I'm anxious to take my place in the tiers, you're all right, I should better prepare myself. Thanks!

Okay as of 6pm EST I have 41 LP. Just lost 20 LP and I felt like this would be a god time to make this.

Okay so here is the updated list:

MVP system: 1st, 2nd and 3rd MVP. If you are generally a good player and your team is losing then this can help you. If player 1 has a 5/2/4, 2 has a 3/1/8 and 3 has a 6/3/2. Then 2 should be 1st MVP, 3 should be 2nd and 1 should be 3rd. The points given for then are like this:
1st - 6
2nd - 4
3rd - 2

Honour System: Now this one is a bit new and isn't good imo, but hey it might be. After games you are able to honour your team mates and opponents. If you are honoured by any of them you are awarded one point more or one point back if you are on the losing team. Now this might cause a bit of trolling but might also inspire more sportsman like conduct. Now I have little experience of game programming and I understand this would be very hard to implement.

Now these are the only ones I can think of but please provide some more in the comments. When I m…

In my opinion, the AD Carry is one of if not the most important roles in League of Legends. Their role is to put out max damage from far away. As an AD Carry, positioning is of utmost importance. putting yourself in the backs and sides of fights draw attention to you dragging enemies through your team. One important thing to note that I think is important (JUST AN OPINION) as an AD Carry, I find it better for someone else to initiate fights. Carries are not tanky and therefore, if you get focused you will die in seconds. Try not to make yourself a target! Spread your damage out through the whole enemy team setting up many kills for your team. Find more than 1 AD Carry that you are good at and familiar with. My top two AD Carry's are Caitlyn and Varus. But the most popular are Graves and Ezreal. When you are a good AD Carry you become extremely annoying. Being teamed in bottom lane with a support Janna or Blitzcrank, I find, is one of the most fun groupings in League. Hope this helps. R…

Hello everybody, here is the deal...

Of course I'm not going to replace many vital guides/builds/links... think this as a manual, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'll be wasting many time on it so if you think it would be useful please bump/comment

Thanks for your interest =)

Here we are, a couple of days before the cup, and I've learned quite a bit in the last couple days.

Looking at support builds, finding strategic advice for supports in general, looking at items vs other itmes, and getting advice from an experienced LoL player (thanks DoughboyFresh!) and a good ammount of practice.

I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how far we've come compared from where we started.

Cheers :)

Generally, choosing colors that reinforce the subject colored will make the text stronger. However, there is a big issue- often the color contrasts to strongly with the black background of the mobafire site that it hurts the eyes and makes it harder to read. This issue can be easily fixed by simply dropping the brightness of the text, but not all people know how to do this. I have a general idea myself, but for the people who can't, shouldn't the background to this site be slightly brighter? This would allow making effective guides simpler because one wouldn't have to adjust colors as carefully. We have managed without for a long time, and I'm not begging, this is simply a suggestion. I just thought this idea should be brought to the communities attention.

Thanks for listening,

Its a pretty simple S3 Darius guide (but it also has the strongest BUILD on the site hands down :<). I didn't really want to make a match-up section as a lot of match-ups for darius are pretty straightforward, but I'll probably make one when I get the time, I have this bad habit of typing way too much in match-up sections though :<.

(Maybe I'll narrate it instead :O)

EDIT: Forgot link GG

EDIT 2:
Re-released it with a fixed cheat sheet and some added info, wasn't aware it was so overwhelming to people. Thanks to tehasian and OTGbionicarm for the initial feedback, wish I could let people preview guides without publishing them. (HINT HINT)

So, I'm not even sure if I'm going to make this into a real guide. I was trying, but meh. So now, I'm going to just going to put it here to help you guize. If you enjoy it, please spread it around. I was going to release it as a full guide, but there were bugs in releasing a general guide in the high elo section. This is extremely rough, but I think I got the message across.



Throatslasher's guide on how to gain teh elo'z


Who am I?
Hello, MobaFire. My name is throatslasher, and I hit 2k elo last season. Honestly, it wasn't that difficult. One of the biggest woes I hear about in League of Legends is the dreaded ranked solo queue, but it doesn't have to be.

In this guide I'll be sharing my tested, proven tips and techniques to increase your win rate in ranked solo queue. Individual champion strategies will not be discussed here, but I may give a brief overview of a large group of champions and their impact in a typical solo queue game. I'm not going to get …
