Top Lane Re-looked: Garen


Changes


Courage now passively increases Armor and Magic Resist by 20% instead of increasing it by 0.5 every time he kills an enemy unit.

This is actually more of a nerf then a buff. You wont be able to reach the old amount of Armor and MR you would get from farming until you get 120 armor and mr. It does help tank garen later in the game though.

Courage defensive shield now lasts 2/3/4/5/6 seconds instead of 3 seconds. Now reduces incoming damage by 30% at all ranks instead of 20/24/28/32/36%. Now also grants 30% Crowd Control Reduction. Cooldown changed to 24 seconds instead of 30/27/24/21/18 Seconds.

I like this skills active alot more now. You can get 2x the time of the old skill end game once this is max rank. It also now gives some tenacity. When combined with the passive bonus late game you get very durable with just a few defensive items.

Decisive Strike now also breaks all slows affecting Garen. 35% Speed bonus now lasts 1.5/1.75/2/2.25/2.5 seconds instead of 3 seconds

Things I Have Learned Since Returning to League of...

Over a year and a half ago, I signed up to League of legends. I played on and off for about a week before I got distracted with shiny things. Earlier this year, I signed up for a special promotion with Blizzard which gave a free copy of Diablo 3 if you agreed to pay for a year subscription to World of Warcraft. I played a lot of Diablo 3 (I was a long-time fan of the franchise) before some patches nerfed the game to a point where it wasn't enjoyable for me anymore.
Some former guildies that I was friends with over Facebook said that they'd started playing League of Legends heavily, and that got me thinking that it was time to start playing again. And so I returned to a game that I'd enjoyed for a short period of time previously and left for no good reason. It was baffling that I ever stopped playing, but I have had to relearn and adjust to changes to a game that has added a multitude of new champions since I first started playing it.
Things I have learned since returning:

Top Lane First Look: Rengar


Champion Overview:


Rengar is a tanky DPS champion. He is alot like Renekton in the fact you build up a rage bar to unleash a Wombo Combo on your enemies. His gameplay is fun and unique and actually gives the feel of being on the hunt. His item is INSANELY good, for 1k gold it gives you stacking abilities AS WELL AS a good amount of AD. He is very versatile boasting damage with his Q, sustain with his W, the ability to receive ganks with his E AND The ability to escape almost any gank with his ultimate's stealth. He has a decently high skill ceiling and I can expect players who put the effort into learning him to do EXTREMELY well.

Skills Overview:


(Passive) Unseen Predator- While in brush or stealth Rengar will leap at the target (600 radius default, 750 radius with his item stacked) when using his basic attack. Also Rengar builds 1 point of Ferocity with each ability he uses on enemies. When reaching 5 points of Ferocity, Rengar's next ability becomes empowered, granting it

Why I Am Going to Stop Maxing My Q First as Lee Sin

For the sake of everyone, I am going to put the TL;DR at the beginning.
TL;DR: IF A LEE SIN MAXES HIS Q HE JUST DEALS ******ED DAMAGE TO LOW HEALTH TARGETS. ITS NOT A KS IF HE TAKES THE ENEMY FROM 3/4 HEALTH TO DEAD.

I was just playing a normals game, and all of a sudden we get this guy who insta-locks Ryze bot. I'm thinking, "Okay, I am down with that.", because I got Lee Sin top and, not to toot my own horn here, but I very rarely lose top as

Berzerk's Top Tier List

Bored in a long car ride, needed something to do. Made this. These are just my general opinions on tiers as seen by me.

This tier list is my rating on top lane champions AS SEEN BY ME! Everyone sees lanes and such different so everyone will have their own different tier lists. This is just mine. Their is no specific order within the tiers on the champions, it is just a general categorization. 

* means they are on borderline to going down and I'm on the edge with them.
^ Means I'm on the edge and could easily cave in on moving them up a tier.


Some strong common picks. They can usually do pretty well no matter who they fight. They typically can do well at all points in the game.

Tier 1: Nidalee,  Riven, Irelia, Nautilus,   Kennen, Udyr,  Yorick, Malphite,  Jax, Lee Sin, Kayle, Olaf, Rumble

Some picks that can be picked early on, but should not be first picks.  They are typically centeralized around 1 point of time in the game.

Tier 2:  Shen,  Jayce^,  Lulu*, Poppy, Drave…

Kat Rework

So I saw this morning that Kat is getting a rework. Although i'm not usually a mid player, she (along with Fiddle and Fizz) are my best AP mids. It's nice seeing her getting a buff. Her new ability looks interesting, the reduced channel time on her ult makes her less CC Vulnerable, and bouncing blade now has an Akali mark of the assassin feature, she might become a much beter AP carry.

All About Respect

I'm that guy that just wants to play.

I don't care about Elo.
I don't care about kill score.
I REALLY don't care about jungling.
I don't care about buying wards as my responsibility.
I don't care about dedicating to a single champion.

What I do care about, is respect.

In the 1-20 level range, I noticed a high population of people who used a lot of sarcasm, insults, and threats to communicate with their fellow players. This isn't kosher. This kind of attitude is all over the internet, and as of the last few years it's been bleeding into the real world.

People are forgetting how to be polite and respectful to each other. A little respect will go a long way. Many individuals have seemed to adopted a policy of "show me respect and I show it to you." Why did we let this become a social norm?

How do you expect people to want to play with you if you sit there insulting them all the time? Sure, I'll admit that some of those people with the rude social qualities are good at the game. While…
