Solo Queue (Normal): Game 4


In the pre-game chat, we were ***inged roles by one of the fellows on our team. He selected Udyr to jungle, directed two other fellows to select bottom lane champions (a Soraka and Xin Zhao), someone to solo top (the Tryndamere), and asked me to mid (I picked Annie for the burst, and stun combination). Well I locked in, happy with the team, as did the Tryndamere.

The Udyr who had just assembled a relatively well balanced team out of 5 random dudes lost his mind, and changed to Talon before locking in. I was surprised and deeply confused. We still had about 20 seconds left, so I asked him why he changed. "It's just a normal," he replied, "who cares?" That must've clicked with Soraka as well, because he changed to Teemo.

It was a weird laning phase for me as well, against a Tristana at mid. She outranged me, last hit faster than I could, and pushed me back without issue. At around 10 minutes or so, Talon came down, and ganked Tristana, burning her flash. Not a kill, but hey, it helped…

Support Skins

So long I've wished and waited for Riot to release more support skins, since I main supports and I'd like to have some versatility. As for Kayle's Battleborn skin I can't really completely put her to support category mainly because she's not a full support and not often played as a support by other players (I do play her as a support on Normal games). After that skin came the Kayle skin everyone else has as well, which imo is really ugly. Who the hell thought brown wings are pretty, seriously?

It took several months before they eventually made other supports skins and the next one they did make was for

Team work/Defying the odds

FYI I will be making a malphit build and a tryndere build ( other champions I own)

But anyways I was playing a game of classic 5v5 I played as jax my team consisted of Annie chogath veigar and Ashe. I felt fairly confident about my team untill the game got rolling and I saw the opposing team trydemere malphite maoki garen and xerath I couldn't think of a more terrifying team. But I tried to rally the troups and not show my true feelings that this was going to be a long game. I took mid with Ashe ( which was perfect ) veigar and Annie took bot and chogath soloed top. The game began as I thought though we were getting slaughtered. Infact the only words I heard those first 10 minuetes (beside my own) were
" alie killed" and " enemy killing spree". I did feel Ashe and I were doing a good job holding our own against malphite and garen. I decided that I needed to start farming to get my next couple of items ninja tabai and 2 vamperic scepters a total of 1800 gold after I had just finished p…

Solo queue game 10

Started playing ranked again, figured I'd start posting my games here again as well~
No screenshot of the draft, going to leave those in the future as well as there's no real point.

Matchups:

Top: Tryndamere vs Olaf
Middle: Cassiopeia vs Veigar
Bottom: Caitlyn and Sona vs Kog'maw and Soraka
Jungle: Amumu vs Fiddlesticks


Result:




Pretty hillarious game. Picked Tryndamere and got 'counter'picked Olaf. As I went in the game, my runes had bugged and I went in lane with full AP runes (thankfully the page with armor seals). It looked pretty grim especially considering Olaf should do well against Tryndamere in lane.

First blood happened mid as Fiddlesticks ganked mid and Veigar picked up an easy kill on Cassiopeia. Just seconds after I got my first kill on Olaf after getting 3 crits in a row and finishing the job with an Ignite. (Also AP ratio on Q es OP olol)

Not long after first blood, Fiddlesticks ganked mid again and got another relatively easy kill on our Cassiopeia. Mid was not…

Opinion or a Troll's Paradise?

You know, I just had a thought... aren't almost all the guides on here opinionated? I mean, I haven't had the "pleasure" of reading every guide for one character on this site but from what I can tell, everyone has their own way of building their favorite Champions.

I only bring this up because I recently had someone TROLL my Nocturne build and no, it didn't hurt my feelings, more annoyed me. I mean, the last game I played with that very build I was 14-5-10, and that's good right? I mean I THING it's good, but what do I know? I'm just a noob -- technically everyone is if you go by raging logic in-game.

I just wish someone could post their guide and honestly not have to worry about the trolls coming from beneath their bridges and caves to ridicule others for not building a Champ like they would, or what's considered "pro". Not everyone plays this game to be pro, much to you troll's disbelief. MOST people -- like me -- play this game to have fun, and isn't that what games were originall…

Want More Supports? Don't Plan On It.


Hello again,



I remember way back in early 2010, one of my favorite champs to play was Taric. He was the complete package in the Heal/Poke Meta: a bulky tank-ish character capable of quality heals and stuns for the entire team to enjoy! Taric these days is still enjoyable to play, and still consistent in the upper tiers of play, but what has been shown recently by Riot themselves is an abundance of AD carries and AP bursts, stacking the 6300IP scene and raising havoc across Summoner's Rift. For fellow players like me who enjoy helping other Summoners carry the team to victory, is there any future to see more Support characters join the ranks? I wouldn't count on it. Here's why.

Reason #1: Riot likes Money

The sad but truest statement I'm going to make here is that in the world of Montages, live streams, and Solo Queue masters: High damage champions are going to sell out the wazoo in the League Community. I can safely say out of every team, at least three players are going…

Secretly OP Champs that nobody plays

Here's where things get crazy.

There are a lot of OP champs... You just don't know about them.

First on the list, Swain.

While he is not a force to be reckoned with on his own, he brings great team fight potential with his ult keeping him alive and harming the three closest enemies. Combined with the ever-popular Will of the Ancients and the not-so-popular

LATE VIK THOUGHTS

tldr: imo a very solid and original kit, but with a couple shortcomings that keep him from being a top tier champ in my eyes.


I've been in love with viktor from the very start. I bought him 5 minutes after he was released and played him for days. I'm no master, but I've got some pretty damn strong impressions so far.

PROS:
a) decently strong spells overall
b) really high poke range
c) can move while casting most powerful non-ult ability
d) slow/stun designed to perfectly block off any jungle path in its entirety
e) powerful aoe silence
f) augment adds something really essential to his kit.

CONS:
a) all spells besides his lazer have a SHORT range
b) his shield does not activate until AFTER the spell returns to him
c) Fairly difficult to get used to the laser for multiple reasons
d) stupidly slow move speed
e) remaining two augments that DONT get used are really pretty necessary to make his kit perfectly acceptable (not perfect)

Dat LAZER man. The damage is incredible even early…

UNDERRATED AND OVERPOWERED

Hello everyone, I know I have kind of slacked off on my blog but not to worry I'm going to try and put 1 up at least every 2 days, so please check back often.

Today I want to begin a series on under rated/under used items that are in reality kind of overpowered/amazing situational items. Today I would like to focus on 2 such items. The first is Hexdrinker




This item is an item that I almost never see on anyone. My question is while this is not as ideal for meta being AD v AP mid. However, If you send an AD mid why not rush this. You get magic resist, AD, and wonderful little passive that will save your butt against AP casters. Also for those of you who need more help surviving

FnaticMSI.LaMia in Taiwan!


LaMia has been in Taiwan for two weeks now and is having a fantastic time. A meeting with Garena.LoL in Taipei was arranged and some brilliant work has been produced. With the huge flock of FnaticMSI fans, Manuel has had plenty of fun playing and socializing with the Taiwanese players.

During his stay he has been doing some much awaited food tasting and sightseeing. His reason for going to Taiwan once again is due to enjoying it so much on his first trip, where he and the rest of FnaticMSI.LoL was flown out there by our sponsor RaidCall in a promotional trip. This time around it's more of a personal vacation, but no gamer can resist some action, especially when invited to play in the offices of Garena.

Manuel has done an interview with Erika Tseng from Garena in their head offices. You can see the video below:
