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

Well, as I play League of Legends, I suddenly found myself becoming quite bored playing my typical and best role: Jungler. I also play Solo Top and Mid as secondary choices. But even playing those roles leaves me unfulfilled. I started Jungling with champions I don't usually use, like Lee Sin, Hecarim,

I'm so decisive
As it is I've started picking up on a lot of ways to improve looking over my replays
I managed to get back to 1600 elo again there but have dipped a bit again
In the mean time I've got two games that I've put up on Youtube, your thoughts and feedback would be appreciated

So I've been looking through all these guides and most of their names contain stuff like "Competitive s3 guide" or "ranked s3 guide" or "competitive ranked guide" or something of the sort.

Then I started to wonder. What was the definition of a ranked guide or a competitive guide?

I always used to think a ranked guide was a guide written by an upper-level player and a competitive guide described the many competitive playstyles of a champion.

Should a so-called ranked guide be a guide written by some 1.3k elo player?

Should a competitive guide be written by someone who doesn't attempt to explain or even put in tournament playstyles / builds in their guide?

Kinda confused here :/

I personally feel that 1.5k elo is a benchmark where people actually don't have misconceptions towards the game and that players below it shouldn't be writing these so-called competitive guides or ranked guides because all I see are people claiming to be knowledgeable and able to play at high elos when they…

Got denied my first Penta Kill twice in 1 game. First time Shen escapes on purpose just so I won't get the Penta. Second one MF tried to give it to me by rushing me (cause I was fed and it was obvious I'd kill her) but she didn't make it in time and it was unofficial.

2 denies..no comment on this ****..this proves how cursed I am at never making a Penta.

Hi there!

After reading lots of guides here in the last weeks I decided to join MOBAfire, too. I don't know what my summoners way is going to be like. Will I ever write a guide of my own? Will I be able to find my most favourite champion ever... and will be able to play it godlike? ;)

Who knows? Let's have some tea and start finding it out. See you on MOBA or ingame. :D

Cheers,

I have always used Armor penetration while a lot of other people use flat attack damage runes.

I have actually no idea which one is better by statistics, so lets calculate!

Data lvl 1
Average amount of base AD for an AD carry at lvl 1 = 55
Amount of AD gain from masteries: 3 + 0,58/level = 3,58 AD at lvl 1
AD runes grant: 0,95 AD each mark and 2,25 each quint
Armor penetration runes grant: 1,28 ArP each mark and 2,56 ArP per quint

The minimum AD at the start will be 55 + 3,58 = 58,58 AD


Comparison lvl 1
Full flat AD
The one with full attack damage marks has the following amount of attack damage at the start:
58,58 + 0,95*9 + 2,25*3 = 73,88 = 74 attack damage.

Let's say the enemy has an average of 19 armor, 19 armor blocks 16% of the physical damage income.
Though, we have masteries, that also ignore 6 + 8% of the armor.
So 19 * (1-0,08) = 19 * 0,92 = 17,48
17,48 - 6 = 11,48
11,48 armor blocks 10% of the damage income

So each attack you will do 74 * 0,897 = 66,4 = 66 damage at lv…

So I have played a lot of games. Almost over a thousand to be exact. Lately i have been wondering what does it mean to be a free week champion player. Well let me explain what it means, it means you're trying out the champion and learning whether or not you want to buy and possibly play that champion in future games, but you have on bad game and you immediately don't like the champion. So what's the solution to this problem you say. How about we start by going back to the beginning of the game shall we?

O.k. so it's the beginning of the game and you're about to buy, but lets not do that instead ask your team mates what you should buy and how to play that champion. I've had so many successful games being taught how to play a champion because i ask. Not to mention I have had many games where i help a free week champion player out. Even if it end up being their 4th or 5th game as that free week champion or they happen to own it try as hard as you can to be positive to turn the game aroun…
