MOBAFire Blog Feed

Heya, MobaFire :3 Well, this blog is dedicated to the coding clusters I have created during my stay here. As I create more unique ways of displaying information, I'll include them here. Each coding cluster will feature an approximate date of creation (or manipulation) and will also display who first pioneered the look, if the coder wasn't entirely me (or if I created the coding cluster in conjunction with a friend). They shall be ordered chronologically.

18/05/2012, jhoijhoi (& PsiGuard-ish)

- I decided to deviate from the original "PROS | Hero Icon + Abilities in a Cross | CONS" format because it spread everywhere :P PsiGuard was the entire reason behind this shift due to his prompting via PM. He created something similar "PROS | Description | PROS" and I immediately copied and modified it! I absolutely adore the "Abilities | Ashe | Abilities" I created for the header, it's perfect! inb4 it spreads everywhere ;) …

So recently i picked up the champion Akali, just because I've been buying my way through all the champions in the store. i played her for one game, and after that, i fell in love with her!

Her ability to just dive in a snatch is a kill is under-rated, even though she has been nerfed she still has a fair bit of bite to her! I normally like playing her duo lane, as its fun to just mess about in 5's. i start with a boots and 3 pots. build that into a merc treads. then start to build my hextech gunblade.
This item is worth the money as it helps you to survive tower dives early on! i then build a shen with i turn into a lich bane. i then either decide for a warmogs or a frozen mallet, depending on how annoying i feel like being. then i finish up with a rageblade and finally either a infinity edge or a rabadons deathcap.
This build normally makes it easy to dominate the oposition!

So...I lied. I really tried to only post strategy and updates, but I couldn't help it. Deal with it. Or don't.

On to my real point. Has anyone else realized the inflation of blogs lately? It's Germany all over again. damn Nazis.
There are simply so many, everyone seems to have realized that a blog button exists and are madly pressing it.
Then they talk about non-sequential **** that no-one cares about. Like pfff, how stupid.
Oh wait...

Anyway, my point is that this blog inflation is ridiculous. We might have to implement a new system for blogs, to avoid blogs that get pushed down from ever seeing the light of day again.

I started playing Jax a few weeks ago after being recommended to him by my best friend. Now, the way that I play Jax is a top, preferably solo top, and with him, I can destroy using my build, which will usually involve going into Sheen and chunking the heck out of anyone who stands in my way. As a side note, be careful to play defensively until level 6/7, and to always make sure that you can take the kill, but not die in the process. He can be a BIG hitter late game, and can easily carry a team, and can even stand in 3v1s later in the game (all strategy). And with that, have fun, and remember, Jaximus to the Maximus! (I love the Jaximus skin)

So a friend came online and we're Skyped up. We're going to duo; he's actually my next door neighbor's son. Good kid. Cusses a lot; it's good rage. he's way higher ELO than me, so this is risky for him. Minus lots but plus very little. I'm last pick, as usual when we duo queue.

Bans, we first:
Tryndamere, Kassadin, Olaf, Morgana, Shen, Shaco

Picks, them first:
Lee Sin
Skarner, Vladmir
Karthus, GP
Fizz, Ashe
Leona, Tristana
Soraka for me. Not pleased about it.

Lee Sin jungling; they have two clarities. Karthus and Leona

Game summary
Owned by Leona; I'm long lost from playing Soraka. The mindset for support isn't there any more. I've been playing tank far too long to do it right, especially in ranked.

43/53/62 to 53/44/88

We had them early but they came at me late a lot. I just was out of position a lot. in position for Malphite, Galio, or Trundle (AD Tanky), but way out of position for Soraka. Oh, and I didn't have the right Masteries up. I was 21/9/0 b…

Hi everyone! I'm tehcheeselover and this is my first blog post on the new MobaFire blog feeds. Be gentle with your comments and know that I'm only writing for the purpose of informing, entertaining, and passing time. I would ask you to PLEASE post comments constructively criticizing, but not negatively demoting my work. Thanks a lot MobaFire community! Now on to the good stuff.

It seems like Ranked games are there to show others your skill level through winning games and increasing something known as an ELO, otherwise known as a personal ranking. This, however, seems to me like a misconception, or a mistake made by most people who are educated as such. As you all may know, League of Legends is a team game, and is originally intended to be one that involves multiple people that are familiar to you, in order to promote the idea of collaboration and communication to achieve victory. This is not the case as you are frustratingly wasting your life away jumping into a Solo Queue gam…

Current Score: 424
I'm captain, this doesn't bode well.

Champion Select and Banning

I ban first
Kassadin, Udyr, Gangplank, Rammus, Tryndamere, Vayne

I chose Trundle, again. I called Top when doing so.

Trundle
Shyvana, Mordekaiser
Katarina, Autopick Yi, it looks like
Shaco, Brand
My team doesn't seem to be here as auto-picking seems to be the way it's going now. Mundo and Morgana are picked. Maybe not, I think they had time left
Kog Maw

I'm not a fan of this and hope the autopick Yi means he's dodging. No dice, game is loading.

Shaco is their jungler. Are any of you surprised? Not much else to point out. They have 3 ignites.

Game Time

This jungle Mundo is awful. Reminder to never be on an AP Yi team again. This was a debacle; Mordekaiser had me as Trundle pretty well. I was holding nicely, but saw no jungle for 12 minutes and died once. He eventually showed up and I got an assist.

AP Yi is a joke. Morgana was an autopick that had no idea what she was doing.…

Current Rank Score: 424
I'm second pick; they ban first.

Tyrndamere, Amumu, Rammus, Shaco, Singed, Shen

Picks go:

Nautilus
Morgana, Trundle (me)
Kayle, Garen
Mordekaiser, Corki
Fiddlesticks, Katarina
Teemo

After some discussion, and when I mentioned I'd be top they tell me I have to jungle.

Game cancelled because someone dodged.

Champion Selection and Banning

I'm now third pick, we banned first.
Shen, Tryndamere, Shaco, Rammus, Kassadin, Singed

Picks, we're first
Kayle
Nautilus, Teemo (eff Teemo)
Morgana, Trundle
Varus, Warwick
Amumu, Ezreal

Amumu late says let me jungle; I say ok with 9 seconds left in queue. I change my summoner spells to Flash/Teleport to run solo top. My masteries are a bit awkward at 17/4/9. It's a massive sustain build. My bite turns wicked, but not finishing blow wicked. I tend to get lots of assists.

Missed it because my kids were talking.

Game Start and talk (first posting!)

We had it a bit shaky, but I did end up running top vs. …

Elo hell is referred to as the zone in which the summoners elo is 0-1200. After passing 1200 you get games where there are less "baddies" and less "trolls/afkers".
In order to get out of elo hell you need to play either duo que with someone of like elo, but that someone also is skilled(unlike others at your elo), or play 3 positions, Mid, Jungle, or AD carry.
Mid

is a great position to play considering you generally become a nuke mid to late game. I have personally carried many games 4v5 in which i was on the 4 side, just because my teamates would protect me in team fights while i proceeded to nuke them down. Another great position to play is.
Jungle

The jungler is able to control the lane directly and indirectly. A direct way to control the lane, is to gank. Via ganking you waste the enemies summoner spells and often secure kills. The indirect way of controlling lanes is to fake a babysit on a certain lane, say mid, And force the enemy champion to play it safe, hug the tower and miss…

First off I would like to say this post and all future posts are entirely my opinion and if you disagree with it, that's cool, leave a comment saying why you disagree, if you are gonna be an *** about it then there's no point in you reading any further. This is my opinion on where the champions stand at the moment.

Tier 1 = These champions are a fantastic pick for their position, they will usually dominate their lane unless they have been counter picked, and are a great addition to any team

Tier 2 = These are still good picks, they are very strong and can do well if your team works well together, however they can be hard countered, or it is possible to lose your lane if your team doesn't work well. If you are great at playing a champion from this tier, it is a good as a tier 1 pick.

Tier 3 = These picks are ok, but the other tiers generally have better picks and you could do a lot better with them unless you happen to be very good with a specific champion.

Tier 4 = I wouldn't recom…
