Welcome, Summoner, to the Jungle.

In Summoner's Rift, the jungle is the so-called 'fourth lane'. By running a jungle, a team can have 4 Champions achieving maximum farm for gold, level and early items. No one will question the needs of a jungler in a team comp.

So you, as me, wanted to try that role, huh? By now you should have noticed that one cannot simply start jungling. You will need a rune set and enough mastery points to make it viable. By level 20 one can start jungling/learning what a jungler have to know.

Now we have a problem: At level 20, and inexperienced jungler will be destroyed in any game, due to a failure on map awareness, wrong ganks and some other mistakes that a new player have no ways to know how to avoid. Here is the foutain of the rage against all the junglers.
If you pulled some nice ganks early, the things might go smooth. However if you failed your early ganks, you will most likely always fall behind in level/gold/items, which will make you less effective i…

Hey everybody I want to try out a new project and I need your participation.

The concept is simple, project CA or Challenge accepted, revolves around my creating champions, but in a different way.

Instead of just creating champions I simple come up with I have you lay out a challenge for me which my champion design has to fullfil.

Your challenge can be really simple or complicated at the moment I have no restrictions, it could be anything from a certain role such as a mage jungler to having to have certain type(s) of abilities.

But what I find important is that it needs to be something you're missing in the champions that are currently in the league.

The way I chose my challenge for now, will simply be the challenge I like most and find the most interesting.

In the future I'm hoping to use some voting system to create a top 3 or 5 and that I pick it from that top.

These challenges can be posted every sunday every 2 weeks, starting this sunday 20 may 2012.

Challenges need to be …

Welcome to Elo hell!
The first thing you should know is that a set up of doubble carrys happends from time to time.
From time to time you won't get a jungler or one of your teammates will start jungle at lvl 3 or 4.
People will flame at you since you can't play every single roll and every single champion.
"You're the last one in the team so you will play support or get a report from the team!!!1111!!!!!" Even after you have said that you can play any other roll in the team except jungler and support.
I would love to see any of the really good league of legends players that can play every single roll in the game at there elo level. I don't think that anyone can do that.
People will flame and use really bad language or threat with "connections at Riot games/the tribunal". "Do as I say or get permanent ban!"
People will act like they are 15 year old kids, using racial language. A german nazi word S*** H*** have been used numerous of times. Also sexuall things with peoples mothers, that th…

Dear Diary,

As of recently there have been quite a large number of people on the mobafire forums. Unfortunately for mobafire, these people seem to make ridiculous statements and post useless **** only for rep. They think Rep = respect, but anyone who knows me and most of the mobafire community here realizes what an ******* I am and how difficult it is to gain my respect and that rep doesn't necessarily mean you can have respect. Rep seems to be such a joke now a days, it really doesn't mean anything. Hopefully some day these noobs will learn

Sincerely,

Moony

Blind junglers
So another normal game and another lose and all is thank to a blind jungler or can anyone tell me how one can jungle wraths and miss that enemy vlad towerdives karthus even when Karthus ping on the map?

Total 40 min of gaming with only 1 "gank" in mid lane, this "gank" was Jax standing in brush on the way to red buff and last hit Vlad after earlier mentioned tower dive ....


Were did all the junglers go?
Also, what is up with this "no jungler" policy in normal games lately? In 2 out of 3 games one or both team goes without a jungler O.o

Champion Overview:
Nautilus is a Tank/Tanky Ap top lane. Nautilus top lane revolves around his Titan's Wrath allowing him to trade,DPS, Sustain, and Farm. Nautilus can receive ganks better than most champions in the game with a clicked knock up, a root, and a pullback. He is strong vs many lanes and can actually BEAT many popular FOTM top lane champions right now.

Skills Overview:

Passive:

Current rank: 393
Game 5: (win)

I'm going to slow down the chatter. Notable things:
ramon emilio is on my team again; he's on my ignore list. He chose Twisted Fate.

Bans are Kassadin, Morgana, Shaco, Dr. Mundo, Rammus. I guess we missed one of our bans.

Our team forms like this: Pantheon, Shyvana, TF, Malphite (me, jungle), Xin... really?
Theirs = Jax, Renekton, Tryndamere, Brand, Taric

This will not be fun.

Actually, it turned out to be fun. The other team was horrible. Final tally: 59/28/92 to 28/59/51 in 33 minutes. It was a bloody game and we came out on top acing them to our 3 or 4 deaths a few times, actually. Quite sloppy. Frozen heart for the win.

Current rank: 406
Game 6: (win)

Malphite again, support bottom.
I was last pick and gave them option of Malphite or Amumu; they wanted Malphite. Final tally: 50/48/64 v 46/51/54 and we won

Malphite - 6/3/16 (me)
Malzahar - 8/9/11
Olaf - 11/16/9 (two deaths at early jungle against minions)
Ashe - 13/13/16
Rumble - 12/7/12
…

Sorry for the wait between this one. Might do two this week because I'm cool like that.

Because some times, we all need a little boost (and sometimes, we need to procrastinate).

393 score going in
No big write up. A disaster as I played one of my favorites, Galio.

We had everything determined until our 4/5 pick set and I took Tank, Galio as planned... and our AD Carry slot went... LeBlanc... OH WAIT, no. Wukong. And then kicked our Garen who planned going top out to help at bottom. We were a bit zoned by Varus and Lux, be we held our own down there. One missed MIA to mid where Lux got our Brand.

Wukong and our jungle, Shyvana (conex ki zebbi and DeGuy, respectively) both got destroyed. Our jungle was awful, getting owned by their Ahri and Amumu.

Final before a 40 minute surrender:
17/36/18 to 36/18/46

Galio - 1/3/6
Shyvana - 0/7/8
Brand - 9/10/2
Wukong - 4/10/4
Garen - 3/6/1

I know I'm awful at some parts of the game, but I get tanking. My final items versus that group and the starving I did at bottom was

Chalice of Harmony, Philosopher's Stone, Merc Treads, Glacial Shroud, Force of Nature.

Minus 14 points, now at 379?

What the hell!I was busy, can you believe that?!
