Hi there folks,
I'm not really sure what to expect here, so I'm just going to rant for a bit.

Foremost, in the generally agreed upon meta, there are five unique positions--solo top, ap mid, bot adc and support, and jungler. Given how often that the mid is AP, counterpicking has become a common theme, circa de assassins such as Talon finding their way to mid lane. I'm curious how something like Sivir would do mid-lane, given that she has a very early edge on the ap's, especially given if she takes her shield at level 2 she can spam that Q like there's no tomorrow. I understand that this would invite early ganks due to her lane pushing harder than most lanes, but I feel like given what I've seen Sivir do lately, and how often her farm gets robbed on bot anyway, it might be a good idea to call for a lane swap here, as in for the meta.

No, she doesn't have any natural blinks/jumps/gap closers aside from her ultimate, and quite honestly, it's not enough to catch most targets in my experie…

After some time spent trying to masterize Ryze, I think I got the ropes of how a League of Legends player must behave when everyone is picking different sets of champions. Since Ryze is my first main, I stumbled against people calling me for because I autolock once I click on Ryze :(

One should not auto-lock before everyone else is finished picking their champions. Problem is, I can only do well with Ryze so, instead of hogging MID, I did Top Ryze, Bottom Ryze, Gank Ryze, Coffee Maker Ryze, Innibitor Disruption Ryze, Rage-Against-the-Tower Ryze, and sent foes direct to their demise (in 8 times out of 10). Another problem I found with Ryze is his lack of "legs". I'm forced to pick Flash instead of Ghost due to PEER PRESSURE, and when I fail a Flash due mostly because I get way too nervous when I'm in tight frays, the QQ from my team mates starts.

When I try to confront a champion I don't know because is the first time I see it, I don't have time to read about them and I get to slap th…

Today I tried to play Janna for the first time. I really love to play support and I thought testing her would be kinda nice. ;)

Well, I need definitely more practicing... but I really like her. ;) I think it will be a lot of work to get the right timing for her abilities and to find out how to support which ADC best. But for me supporting someone is really important, so I will find out game by game. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to play the first real match with Lvl 30 summoners. Was quite heavy. *giggle* Next time I will try SR in my level range, let's see how this is will work for me.

Cheers,

When I play with my classmates we usually play 1v4 just for the fun. With me on the 1 side.

I was wondering which champs/summoner spells/items/strategies would you recommend for me to have a high chance of winning?

It is an only mid lane on summoner's rift and no going in jungle.

I almost won once with fiddlesticks but I lost 'coz I stalled the game just to get full items. :P

Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

So recently i was asked, "Well what if someone asks how to play a champion and a team mate replied back with use Doran's Ring on say Vayne and took that as legitimate advice."
Well personally I would say I can't really answer that one, but i would say instead that knowing that they're at least level 30 with over 100 hundred wins maybe they would have some common sense and say "ha ha good one, but no really how do i build this champion." Not to mention yes you can look up builds on Mobafire*, but not many people will do so.

Truthfully I have asked people in the past if they have ever looked up a guide and usually the answer is no. So for that game I guide them as best I can with the knowledge that I have for that champion. Then after the game I lead them to Mobafire* in hopes that they take some time to look at guides. Also just telling them about guides sometimes is not enough. In my experience guides do help, but it helps to have a visual aid of some sorts or to see what your abil…

PENTA KILL THRESH...

Tim looked at Jack “Dude Super Fighter is the best thing in the world besides hanging out with Bob.”
Wrestling practice wasn’t the same for Jack. Kendra’s words echoed in his head. Jack came in last place in sprints and couldn’t beat the new wrestlers in king of the ring. After his first match Jack’s coach pulled him aside.
“Jack, what’s going on? You’re not yourself today I can see it in everything you’re doing.” His coach said. Jack’s hugged him and said “listen bud, you can tell me anything, I gotta make sure your good for this Saturday.”
Jack looked at him embracing the hug and said “ I got rejected and it’s just stuck in my head.”
Jack’s coach looked at him and said “Well you know what Jack, I think after this Saturday you could have any girl on this campus. Think about it we are hosting the tournament, which means our students will attend, all you need to do is be yourself and win.” “Ok” jack said.


After practice Jack logged onto �…

“Well we have a test today and I didn’t study so I’m writing the vocab on my arm.” The kid rolled up his sleeves to reveal a wall of Spanish words that covered both of his arms “Oh God, the test!” Jack tore through his backpack looking for a pen.
“Need a pen?” the kid said as he held it towards him. “
Yeah I do, thanks.” The kid then looked at him and said “You’re Jack, right? Hi, my name is Bob, Bob Dash.” Jack focused on writing the vocab on his arm.
After Jack’s last class he walked to the wrestling room. He felt the need to be there before everyone else to show his dedication and set an example as a team captain. He had little interest in the new wrestlers except for Alex Duval, the kid who every girl wanted and was the varsity quarterback. His hatred for Alex was insane. Jack had a 3.2 GPA, was captain of the wrestling team,145 pounds with blonde hair and green eyes, and a six pack; yet girls came to Alex, who had an IQ of a ****** and the face of a t…

The Ghetto Comeback Kids
It was the last wrestling match of the tournament, “This is my chance once again to try and earn a first place.”Jack thought. He battled his opponent, strategizing every move, Set-up to takedown to finishing move, repeating the process. Jack’s mind was split, one side thought methodically, calculating points, time, and position of his opponent while the other half was moving a hundred miles per hour acting on impulse. Then suddenly he sensed his head too close to his knee. His opponent’s snake like arms rocked him to his back. Despite Jack’s best efforts this move, the cradle, turned him into an infant, rather than the feared wrestler called the Hell Rider. The whistle blew and Jack stood up, cursing under his breath, knowing he’d been defeated again.
Jack the next day went back to his routine, waking up at six o’clock and biking to school alone knowing his only friend was himself. Jack planned out his schedule on the way: “School, then wrestli…

Is it just me or is my Pantheon guide actually suffering from troll votes?

I've asked many MobaFire contributors to review my guide and so far I've been getting great feedback and votes of confidence from them. Yet, everytime I get an upvote from a qualified source, I get an unexplained downvote from who knows where.

I want to believe that the quality of the guide will naturally convince people it deserves a higher rating than in the 70% range, but now I wonder if these alleged troll voters are too much to overcome.

I hope it's not true and these people have a legitimate beef (in which case they should explain their beef!), but I have a hunch that it is what I think it is. It's always sad to see politics take precedence over meritocracy
