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…

So I've decided that..if I don't get a good rating in Season 3 (1600-1800) then..I'm probably gonna quit league. I don't really want to and it's a fun game but I'm getting nowhere with it and there's a high chance I'll quit if I don't get better, improve and maybe join a team. I want to get into the competitive scene (and I'm sure a lot of you want to too) but if that's not gonna happen then I don't really see a point to consistently play this game.

Yeah..1600-1800 is a lot considering the fact that I'm in the 1100-1200 range but I don't really care. I'm gonna stop posting guides (i'll probably write blogs though) and I'm gonna stop screwing around and only playing ****ty normal games with people that can't even get past 100 cs after 40 minutes in the game (no offense to you guys if you are one of those people). I've already asked someone if he can teach me more mechanics of the game and I'll keep asking around. I'll probably search for some helpful info on mechanics and how to improv…

Hey guys, I'm making this blog post in regards to a conversation I had in the moba chatroom. Ardeon (I think that's his name, not sure) was touting Nightwish. I have a personal bone to pick with Nightwish. I was first forcefully subjugated to their garbage when they shared a stage with a stage I adore. At first, I thought they were intentionally raping my ears. Their music was uninspired, musically simplistic, uninspired, and obnoxious. Chick singer + boring riffs + uninspired lyrics = Ow my ears.

I checked out a vid he linked, and to my surprise, it had 5+ million views. This reinforced my notion of 'the majority of people' have a ****ty taste in music. He also touted that it was not only 'symphonic metal', but 'power metal' as well. Seeing as those are my 2 absolute favorite genre's of music, I corrected him, saying that just because they had a keyboard in the band, that makes it neither symphonic nor power. He linked me some wikipedia page about symphonic metal, which lists Nightwi…

Zed is an assassin type champion who utilizes hardcore juking and clones for his damage and survivability. Zed comes to top lane packing the ability to safely harass and clear waves even if the enemy is attempting to zone him. Zed does mostly sustained damage early on (Which I honestly feel is what an energy champion should do) and scales his damage into burst as the game progresses. All in all Zed is a high skill-cap, high risk/reward champion who rewards players who learn to play him very well.

Zed's passive is a bonus amount of % magic damage when the target is below 50% hp. This ability is really good for finishing off targets and adding damage to your ultimate. The main time you will notice this skill in top lane will be last hitting as the passive applies to minions making last …
