Hi everybody,
I joined Moba months ago, 'cause when i was a fresh player i really liked the help of builds you people make here (heck, i still like to see what you guy can think of :P)
The reason I decided to make a blog post now though i didn't make one all this time is simple - I am so terribly tired with solo q ranked games...
When i started playing them LoL evaluated me for 1095 ELO and I though "hey, it's not that bad, i can make it to the 1300+ in no time" - man, i was sooo wrong... I thought that all players that want to play ranked games prepared the same way i did (collect few good champions for every role, prepare specs for them, buy runes, practice every role and see some PRO players' streams to make sure you know what to do), so imagine my surprise when in my first game 3 of 5 players told they only know how to play one role and generally dont know basics about this game (like supports killing ad's minions, not a single ward entire game or buying completly wrong items)...
A…

I had to be away for a time cause i was busy buying new PC and i had a family vacation and there was no internet connection or wireless but now i am back and i am gonna make improvement to my Master Yi guide and i might make an Irelia guide soon i tried it in co ops but still didn't try it in normal draft or ranked so if it went good in most of the games then i am gonna upload it soon if it didn't then i will not.

I fell by 70 elo from 2 games, 1 of them being my fault due to playing a bad Ezreal. This scared me a little bit.

So I am seriously making sure I get more practice with my roles and champions so I am prepared for the nightmare that is ranked. (I really didn't look happy in my last stream xD sorry about that).

Champions mastered:

Gangplank - Exclusive Solo Top *brofist*

ok guys and gals i havnt been doin much latley but im here to say IMMMM BACK and iv brought along with me a brand new build for malphite the shard of the monolith ist a tanky AP build and i think you might just like it so you chck it out mayeb up-vote it and stay tuned for more until next time keep rockin on shock out

Okay so my next guide is most likely gonna be on Fizz one of my favorite AP Mids or Support Nunu who I sometimes play but he's not really one of my favorites. I don't know who to go with. I mean Fizz would be the logical choice cause I like him more and I've played him more but it'll take me a lot more time to make a guide on him than it would on Support Nunu. And also..believe it or not Support Nunu is played more simply because there are a ton of choices for Mid Lane but there aren't a lot of supports and people can't be picky when supporting. So that's why in general Support Nunu is played more. But enough talking..let's list out the pros and cons of both suggestions:


Fizz Guide

Pros:
- I have more knowledge on him
- I like him more and it would be more fun to make a guide for him

Cons:
- Support Nunu is played more than him
- It will take me a lot more time to make a guide on him than it would on Support Nunu


Support Nunu Guide

Pros:
- The guide would be easier to make and I…

Watched the TSM vs Curse series. The first game I was like chilling and enjoying the game. I wasn't surprised when TSM won and I really liked how Chaox carried in Game 1.

In Game 2 I was really surprised to see Curse win but it was a deserved win. Cop and Nyjacky really dominated especially Cop with that Quadra Kill. I was kinda disappointed at TSM cause they said they'd 2-0 everyone but they didn't. I was steel cheering for TSM in Game 3 despite that.

In Game 3 I was like super worried when Dyrus was having trouble against Westrice at top but once TSM started snowballing I was relieved but I still thought Curse might win. When TSM won the last team fight and Elementz and Cop were the only ones who survived I knew that TSM was gonna win. GG...TSM! What I liked a lot in the series was:

- Chaox carrying his team in Game 1
- Cop and Nyjacky's dominance in Game 2 and Cop's Quadra Kill
- Smart Guy Dyrus' sweat escape in Game 3 when he got jumped on by 3 people
- General OddOne's escape B…

So I was talking with my brother after last night's inhouse, and he discovered for the first time that we had video logs of many of the games. And while I've been watching them as they came out, I do not have a list of all the games that I have been in. So, I've compiled a list of screenshots and videos of the games I've been a part of.

Some are games on NA (main account, full runes, lots of champions), some are on the EU West on my account (smurf, one rune page, less than 20 owned champions), and finally, some are on GMD's account on EU West.

SO myself and my IRL friend are starting a bit of a side business thing, building computers and doing minor tech support stuff for people, because 1. we enjoy doing it 2. it helps people 3. we can make a bit of cash from it and 4. it will look good on college apps (especially since I want to go into CE I think :3)


Since I've built my own computer I've done a lot of research and I know quite a bit about building, I've helped some people besides building on my own. My friend built a server, is an IT for his dad's company, and is actually microsoft certified in internet security lol


Anyway, my friend is going to set up a website (nothing too major, he's done sites before) and I'm gonna do some photoshop work for a logo, etc. Besides spreading word and posting on craigslist, does anyone have any advice to spread popularity/get known? Any sites/forums like craigs?

Any ideas? Unfortunately our school doesn't have any bulletin where we can post an ad :{

Any help appreciated =o

I'm going to bed but before I do I'll make this post about my Jungle Rumble game. I've always considered trying out Rumble out as a Jungler and today I checked out the Jungle section on Zakkers' Rumble guide on solomid.net (you can find his guide by clicking here also thanks for making the section Mr.Zakkers) and I decided to give it a shot.

I got in-game and I did kinda okay. We did win but I noticed several things about Jungle Rumble:

- His jungle clear isn't very strong
- Early on he has no sustain other than potions
- His E does provide a nice slow but the good thing about it is that if you miss it once you can use it a 2nd time which is pretty neat
- Since your shield is weak early on without any ranks put into it you'll actually take a lot more damage than you might think from the Jungle mobs
- Jungle Clear improves if you keep spaming your skills and overheating yourself to trigger your passive but if you get counter jungled while you're silenced you might die horribly


So ye…
