You played that great match, the team score was 50/37, your team played well, and victory.
Then you go tell that to a friend. "Hey bro, check this" *shows the screenshot* "I won this match today, really awesome".

OK, you played well, but what happened to the rest of the team? You got 50 kills and your allies died 37 times? Of course not, everyone did their best to win.
There are times that you kill enemies and your team just feed, but thats not the situation here.

Why you say "I won" instead of "We won"? Its a team game, many players do their best to win, and you want all the credit for yourself?

Next time you achieve the beloved victory, tell your friend "we won".

Hmm... Soraka.

I usually play Swain, but I purchased Soraka to hit my 16 champs, and decided to give her a try. Support is nice and all that, but I really like to stomp some heads in. Needless to say, I got crushed.

Then I fiddled with the build. Tried out the AP Soraka build that is ranked 1st on here, and it worked nicely, although I felt a bit squishy throughout a few games. Responding to a lot of AD DPS last game made me look at her in a new light.

I stacked on a Frozen Heart for the Aura effect, right after building Will of the Ancients. In team fights, I was a god. Was able to get Rabadons Deathcap afterwords to finish the set off nicely. Late game I started raking in the kills, and my allies seemed untouchable beside of me. It was awesome.

So now I'm trying to work on an AP Aura Soraka build. I'm new at it (as you can tell, I didn't link anything or "tag" the names and such like some people do), but I'll scourge the forums for information before I publish. I hope y…

Q: Who am I?
A: I'm a crazy person who is under the delusion that they are good at this game. My IGN name is TheNamelessBard, hit me with an invite if you wanna play some games with me.

Q: How did you get into LoL in the first place?
A: My Ex boyfriend got me into it. You can go check out his moba profile here.

Q: Wait...you're a baddie?
A: Let's paraphrase a fun convo from the mobafire chatroom-
TheNamelessBard: something, something, something (I don't remember exactly)...I'm such a baddie
TheSmokingGun: nah you're not a baddie, I'm a baddie.
Pwnzor1130: In what universe is nameless NOT a baddie
TheNamelessBard: ^IKR?

Q: Do you and Blydden really bicker a lot?
A: See...he has to go spoiling my fun by bringing up this stupid thing called "viability". I believe there is a difference between what should work and what does work, and he just doesn't get that. So yea...we bicker.

Q: Are you really a girl?
A: Last time I checked I still had a vagina...so I would hope so.

Q: Are you real…

So. The Jungle rework. Only thing I can say.
PLAIN OUT HORRIBLE.
1) They removed every kind of skill to it. You can counterjungle and still not affect the enemy jungler much. You can just afk jungle all day.
2) Lowered XP gains. You can't get to a level two gank from small golems.
3) Fail ganks make you SO MUCH SLOWER IN YOUR JUNGLE ROUTE.
4) Makes some junglers broken ****ing op while others are just meh. eg: Nocturne, Skarner, Yi.

OH MY GOD RIOT HURRY UP AND CHANGE THE DAMN JUNGLE.
I DON'T WANT TO FACE A SHACO WITH DOUBLEBUFF AT LIKE 2:30 WHILE I ONLY GET TO LVL 2 IN ****ING LANE.

Hey and Hello,

yesterday was a weird day - I lost almost all games I have played. Bad stars constelation maybe. But then came the evening and I met my buddy and said him:

"Hey man, wanna play ranked, duo que?" (we usualy play only 3vs3 ranked or 5vs5 normal - both with full team)

and he said:

"why not? Send me inv!"

And then we started and I get angry. Why? I pick my champ last, our "captain" (the one who bans) asked, what champs we want. I said I want Rammie and the rest said their choices. There was one "player" in our team, who instantly (faster than light) started to verbal harass, that I cant play him and bla bla bla. For explanation: I play Rammie in 90% of my 5vs5 games. The result of this "great player" was that he took him and I was thinking who I pick (dont forget I was last in our team to pick and last totally).

So far, our team was made like this:
- Sion (played by my buddy, he has over 750 win and > 1,2 WL ratio)
- Graves
- Xin Zhao
- Rammus (he was confident in his …

"Who am I?" That is a very complex question. How about a question you all care about marginally more.

"In regards to League of Legends, who am I?" That's better.

I am the leader and AD Ranged Carry of my team, The HappyHappy Brigade (THHB).

"What does that mean?"

I am an avid strategist and theorycrafter. I worship Chandro's math as if it were biblical writings. I want my team to succeed. My team, I think, makes up a part of me. We are made up of how we interact and respond to other people. Hence, blah blah blah blah.

"Who is his team you keeep blah blah blah blah-ing about?"

Evil Nosferatu - Our jungler, and my older brother. My big bro. My best friend. <3

Demina - Our support, and my older sister. My big sis. The only person I could find that s willing to execute my aggressive bottom lane play strategems.

Symphunny - Our Tanky DPS Top. Doesn't say that much, but is really good. Awesome duo Q.

The_Nameless_Bard - Our AP Carry Mid. We bicker a lot, but we get along where it co…

I get the most out of a game that is a challenge. I might play a game on easy to get the story but when it comes down to it hard mode is where its at. I have the most fun when i die 1000 times before completing the objective.

This being said. I think my best game of dominion was about 15 minutes ago.

We started off with the lead. Then they pushed us back. Then they crushed us for a bit. We held on. A few amazing kills were had. Some egos were broken. We went back and forth until it was 14(us)-7(them). They rushed one of our points while we tried to defend it another defender was ganked. They took that point. They spread out keeping a guy at each of the points we still had. They had theirs defended. If we pushed to grab one, they would have an opening to move in on another. Needless to say we lost.

But I haven't had so much fun losing in a while. That is what makes a game great to me. Win or Lose you always have fun.

I've been silent too long being that I joined a year ago and am constantly looking at guides.

First off: Kudos to All You Guys

The first thing I want to say is Thank You to all of the contributors to the site. You have made my life (and lots of other people's) so much easier learning everything about the game. I read great guides all the way from Jungling 101 to Janna Full Support. All your insights have been vital to my "success" as a casual player who has fun but can still pack quite the punch in matches.


And now for something completely different...

The Way Things are Headed:

The game is heading in a very interesting direction and PotatisFarfar made an interesting point in his blog, despite the majority of it being rambling.

"And we can probably all agree that Riot makes the new champions stronger on purpose, just for better sales."

It really seems to be that way. Volibear kind of seems to be the exception, but still nonetheless fits into this category. I've only jungled as Vo…

Dark *********s peered out from the corner of an alley at a nearby super market. Waiting in anticipation for the signal. The owner of the eyes turned to look at the small group of teenage boys behind him. You could see their ribs, and their eyes had an almost dead look to them. The young man no older than 15 scratched his head attempting to rid himself of some of the lice that had been biting at him the past week. Then he heard a noise like a car driving close to the supermarket. He looked over to see an armored car pull into the loading bay of the super market. The boys behind him heard the noise as well, and began to squeeze around him trying to get a look at their target.

"Come on Brutus! Lets go!" One of them whispered.

"No! We wait for the signal from Hilden!" the young man snapped back.

Brutus looked back to the armored car to see 4 men in security uniforms holding rifles, probaly loaded with stun rounds, step out the back. Eight employees with carts steeped out from the load…

i'm not sure yet about the new sivir. her range is good, and i like the bb changes. manamume should no longer be core if it ever was... i like her passive. kiting is awesome and you can't run from her. the new rico is more of about the same (8/attack was 40-100 mp5 drain depending on as, now it's 67-110 depending on cdr) manawise, but damagewise it's totally different. it can push as well, but combined with bb makes for a formidable burst. does anybody know if the ult still affects minions?

WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TO PEOPLE BUILD AN IE ON SIVIR? like, i understand it's standard on the normal aa based ad carry. sivir isn't that. i also understand it gives the most ad of any non-stacking item. but sivir can stack a bloodthirster to +40 dmg (20 more than the ie) in 5 seconds still, and there's the lifesteal. sure, it's not a crit item. sivir isn't a crit champ. please explain this, if you can


Tryn... as a recent forum has said, you don't need more than 65 base crit chance. so when i ge…
