There are so many badass people from back in the day. They are getting to be so few and far between these days. I think about the talent pool today in movies and music and I just want to jump off a bridge. Everyone is so shallow, talentless, and have no true personality of their own. There's maybe a handful of true, creative artists/performers these days. Does anyone else feel this way? Sometimes I feel like I should've been born way before I had been, so I could enjoy those people in real-time. I swear to God, the movie, Idiocracy has it dead on about the future. lmao

So yesterday I started to use Smartcast and it's really awesome you can react so much faster - even though you will most likely be a lil bit confused for the first games because you still want to click your skills :/

The thing is up to now I never used them and I think this will benefit me after some time greatly it makes many things much easier and better.

• instant spamming your skills by just rolling your head over the keyboard, no need to click with your mouse :) makes it really awesome for champs like Lux that have to fire their shots one after another!
• you can get way more cs with champs like Ezreal
• your reaction time is just better

I know I am a noob for not using it before :/
I'm lvl 30 about 550w and because I am not that new to the game and haven't used them before, so I wanted to share that information with you. So maybe some of you will start to use smartcast!

You can activate smartcasting ingame --> options --> keybindings
scroll down and there you can activate it!

As we progress into 2012,

League of Legends finds its champion roster closing in on the 100 mark. While many enjoy the amount of choices that are given, as DotA had a number similar to what League is getting to, I feel that having this many champions may too much for Riot to continue balancing. As we're seeing the new champion, Sejuani, looking like a scrambled mess of past champions put together, Riot ahould focus more on other aspects of League of Legends, and slow the champion making process: possibly removing some of the lesser used and forgotten champions.

Frankly, looking at the champions that are mostly used, I can think off of the top of my head some champions that you just will not see unless someone is out to troll: Evelynn,

So I just finished watching he first two episodes of My Little Pony Season 1. I have to say, I liked it more than I thought I would. At first since there was a pony thread on this site, I decided to watch a few episodes to see what I would think, and I ended up enjoying seeing Twilight make friends in ponyville.

Just shows that I should try something before I bash it.

How unexpected.

PVP.net v1.52

Ranked Teams
Ranked Team roster size has been increased to a maximum of 9
Provisional Ranked Teams will now be automatically disbanded after a certain period of time to prevent name squatting
Made it easier to invite members of your Ranked Team to a group chat
Team Tags will now show up in more parts of the PVP.net and in game UI
Team Game invites will now play a different sound to differentiate from normal invites
Team Member status will now show up in the Team Profile screen so you can see who is online and available to play
Cleaned up the Ranked Team creation process to be more clear
Tweaked the Ranked Team matchmaking algorithm to be more accurate

Looks all fine and dandy. My only concern might be the length of time for deletion of a ranked team, and possibly (unsure about this) the obnoxious spamming of team names, if there is no option to turn them on and off in certain areas. That asid…

I noticed a lot of my friends have been jumping in to League of Legends and asking for small tips. I decided to write 10 tips for you guys. First thing first ::

I'm not ELO 1737 like Phreak or anything. You can take my advices or not. I'm not sure if I should call this some sort of guide. Everyone has different playing style and you have the right to ignore all my words. These are the things I learned through experience or someone yelling at me. This is about Summoner's Rift 5v5. This is what I normally think about. You can always disagree with me.

1.) "You can't make Cake with just Sugar." When I first started playing, everyone played carry; that included Ash, Akali, Miss. Fortune etc. I lost a lot. LoL is about team cooperation and there's different roles. Everyone wants to be the best, get all the kills, and brag about how much they brought four other people into victory. You really can not win a normal game with only carries. Plus in my personal opinion carries can be tiring or …

Duo queue with TheGrandmasterD

Matchups:

Top: Gangplank vs Kayle
Middle: Xerath vs Vladimir
Bottom: Vayne and Alistar vs Graves and Soraka
Jungle: Lee Sin vs Udyr


Result:




Fun game, I decided to pick up a support to try and make sure our Vayne first pick would be in relatively good hands.

First blood happened up top as Kayle got a pretty early kill on Gangplank. He was losing his lane pretty badly, untill Kayle took the turret and Gangplank basically free farmed all day.

Every other lane seemed to go fine. Lee Sin was doing work everywhere and was really the one who pushed us to an advantage after a rather bad start of the game.
Bottom lane we managed to trade a few kills here and there as Lee Sin ganked. I did **** up a couple of times not taking turret agro soon enough so Vayne got it and ended up dying 2 times for it.

I didn't really see what was going on around the map as I was eating at the same time, so I can't say much more, except that we won the game by winning a cru…

at the Weekend i had rly nice game with a clan mate. We just started a ranked game duo q and we saw in the loadscreen: our jungler jax has no connection. well thats 1 thing i hate about the ranked games but thats an other story. However, we started the game and i went mid with Talon. i knew that we would loose this game, but i wanted to gave my best, so i owned as much as possible mid against gragas. i got ganked a couple of times from the enemy rammus, but i killed gragas like 5 times and killed rammus 2 times too. so, after i got my first item, i started a bit roaming after i pushed my lane. it was easy going to grap a few doubllekills bottem against Janna and Kog 'maw. wasnt that hard to kill the Jarvan on the top lane too. (a bit Of flaming from enemy team "REPORT FEEDER GRAGAS" and " YOUR SO ****ING BAD YOUR JUST FED" later..) i got my trinity and youmous, graped my mercurys and started to build bloodthister. at this point i was rly fed, but i had games like this before, but this …

Matchups:

Top: Garen vs Riven

Bottom: Vayne and Sona vs Caitlyn and Soraka

REAL THORNMAILS.

Last picked Vayne into Caitlyn/Soraka, was confident I could handle the lane and it turned out well. The pick was mainly aimed at dealing with Riven/Rammus as I was expecting them to get fed.

First blood happened mid as Nunu ganked for Xerath, Rammus counterganked the lane. Both Cassiopeia and Rammus ended up dying giving Xerath an early double kill and a very nice advantage in lane.

Bottom lane Sona and me were taking a lot of harass from Caitlyn due to her superior range but it was never really a problem. I managed to stay ahead on farm in the laning phase despite being outranged pretty heavily. Rammus tried to gank several times but it yielded absolutely no results.
The lane was won when Caitlyn went to buy and Soraka showed herself in our brush, all by herself. I picked up an easy kill and …
