With the end of Season 2 last night, everyone's elo has been "soft reset" to compress everyone closer to 1250. I thought it would be interesting to see the range of players I would play against while I started this season at 1570 elo. Most of the people so far have been platinum (in S2), with usually one diamond or one gold player depending on which way the elo is swaying.

Here are the two games I've played so far today:

Game 1

I played mostly AD Carry near the end of S2, so I was worried my AP would be rusty. It turns out that I was a pretty rusty mid, but it still worked out. Katarina had a rough time mid, so

So I'm waiting for my mom to get home so I can unlock the door for her (she forgot her key) cause I don't wanna be disturbed and after that I'm gonna do my first ranked game of Season 3 (and maybe even more depending on my mood after the game).

This is both scary and exciting at the same time. What scares me is not the fact that I might lose my lane but the possibility of getting matched up with trolls, dc-ers or scrubs in my provisional games.

What's exciting about this is seeing how Season 3 starts out for me and how it will progress as I play more. I've already made up my mind and this time I won't be scared to press the Solo/Duo Queue button and I'll just play the game, never give up and do my best in every game.

Let Season 3 begin for me!!

Heeeeey! what´s up guys? TLW here with another post on my blog...Where i´m going to talk about my impressions of my first season in League of Legends, and my goals for S3

Season 2: From Lvl.1 to Silver ELO

Well...Now that I see all that Ivé done during the five/six months that I have been on LoL, i can say that I am proud of what I have done. Maybe i am not a new Froggen or something like that, but Im proud of joining Ranked games so late and getting silver ELO...Gold was too far formy first season, and i have learned things of this first contact.

First of all...I think that i have been too greey this season. I mean, I started playing ranked with 1 champion mastered, playing well in 1 position olny, and with a bunch of champions that i "Know" how to play...Of course, that f*ck*d me a bit in the games. This is like a call of attention for me for …

WARNING:INSOLENT KID TALKING HERE
-DO NOT TAKE TOO SERIOUSLY

So I just lost 2 games(ranked), and I know I should'nt make a big thing about this but those placing matches, hell, they are important.
Last season I finally managed to climb up to 107/104 but my elo was still just 1120.
Now, how is this make sense? After your starting matches you start at a much lower rate
of Elo.

Now I would'nt be mad if it would've been my fault, but it actaually wasn#t.
And it wasn't the other players fault either(well, atleast, not directly).
It's that ******ed system, allowing fresh players to play against people who have 800 games but are in the same elo.
Naturally, some people have never played ranked before(or any kind of competitive play) and therefore, like in my case, go AP Yi botlane.

Not much more coming from my side, just kinda mad I need to win 50 games more than lose to get at 1200 elo again while having and equal win/lose count.

Here I'd like to quote our good friend Kog'Maw:
BLERGH!

nice new patch riot. Its not even doing anything. Can any of you tell me what in the world the new patch did??? i cant spot the dif yet and all I can see is that Zed is in the all champions view. I know its eing released later but what actualy changed? like 3 nerfs and a buff only? when is new season starting? all elo is reset can we play raked yet?

I have been having so much fun with twitch lately, he is an amazing champion if played right, sadly not many people do know that he needs to be nerfed more then he needs to be buffed, SO I made my first build and I already have so many hits on it! and I just want to say thank you for all the views already <3 made my day!

I NEEDED TO MAKE ONE TOO, MOB MENTALITY.  I feel my goals for this season were an overall success, considering I only really cared for the rewards and I got triple gold (3s plat, but that's meh no border on load screen =[ ). Overall for season 3 I hope to:
-Narrow down my roster and get about 5 champions MASTERED
-I want to get whatever the highest tier will be for next season.
- I want to remake my ranked team with my friends and hopefully finally find a 5th member.
- Get Vet on mobafire =3
-Make my complete guide to top lane more in depth and better.

I'm not sure if anyone really reads this, or cares for that matter, but I figured I'd post this anyway. (Sorry, I get depressed on the weekends...)

Like I said before, I was planning on overhauling my old Annie guide, "Tactical Tibber's Too Terse Terminations". And due to a distinct lack of time I've been unable to do so.

I have also had plans for a Sejuani guide and a Viktor guide to come out, but again, not enough time.

Well, the good news is that winter break is coming up in a few months and I will have plenty of time to work on things then. The bad news is, I've got too many ideas on where to start with guides, that I'm not sure where to start.

Basics on what I've got planned: …

The upcoming season seems to be a sort of New Year's occasion for League players. With the elo reset (more or less) coming up soon, a lot of people are setting goals for the coming soon so I figured I might as well write down some of my thoughts as well.

1. Rank up my soloqueue rating (surprise, surprise)
This past summer and early fall I finally started getting into solo/duo ranked and working on my elo. Though I have limited access to decent internet at my college (basically just Friday and Saturday evenings right now), I was able to reach my goal of hitting gold before season's end and passed it a bit to 1608, which I'm happy with. This coming season, I'm setting my sights on 1750 as my target elo, with an ultimate goal of 1850 if I can improve enough along the way.

2. Re-evaluate and solidify my top champions in each role
I pretty much had my junglers down this season, but with the new S3 jungle as well as the significant item changes, I might have to re-examine my current pic…

As most players here on MOBAFire we have our goals for season 3. Now a real quickie before I get started, I blame myself this season for making myself stuck at 1200 ELO.

*Skip if you don't care about the story!*

So It was just a normal day, I got my steam back because for some reason it wouldn't allow me to log in for over a year. When I meet my friends again I tell them about LoL and what a fun game it is! Sadly, they didn't want to make EU accounts, so I had to move to the NA servers. Which, I still think they're douches for, because I had spent a lot of money on my EU one. I couldn't play ranked in season 1 because on my EU one I didn't think I was ready for it and once I hit ~28 on the US one season 2 just started. Once I hit level 30 though on the US account I jumped into ranked games as soon as possible... But I couldn't win matches for my life. Now, I thought it was my team mates, but looking back it really was myself. I jumped into ranked WAY too early so I pretty much wasted…
