Janna - I stayed away from playing Janna for a long time. Probably because it seems like she doesn't do anything (far from the truth) and Howling Gale seemed like an awkward ability to use appropriately.

Tailwind speeds up allies coming toward her. More speed is always a good thing as it lets you get places faster and makes it easier to dodge skillshots.

Butcher's Bridge

Looks really cool, though I miss the Poros. They are a heck of lot cuter than the devil fish things that have replaced them.

Thematically using GP's new voice as the announcer is fine for Butcher's Bridge, but I find it extremely jarring on the Summoner's Rift Map.

New HUD

Is going to take some getting used to.

So far the most frustrating thing I've found is knowing where to look for how much gold you have.

I also don't like your teammate's champion icons being over the mini-map. The mini-map is so important that there shouldn't be any other information near it.

I've also noticed that I'm used to looking on the left for my items, so it is taking a me a second or two longer to find the icons of the items I currently have in my inventory. Do I have a potion? Uhmmm....oh yes I do in Slot 6.

I think I'll just try to be more religious about putting actives and consumables in specific inventory slots.

What the hell is with the SR Map going a little dark after you…

Well my name is Dayquan, I'm 20 years old. I am currently placed in gold 5. To be honest with all of you I'm stuck but i believe its time for a change. I want to climb but every time i try and do so it just gets completely shut down by feeders and bmers. I wont let that phase me anymore i will win, i will climb i will become the Best. ( Maybe not the best but really good anyway.)

The Climb to Plat!

Hey guys! This is my first blog post. :)

I am currently beginning my climb out of Gold and trying to get into Plat this season. I will be updating my blog about my progress, what champions and roles I am doing, and much more. Maybe I can help you all learn some new champs to try and carry with a long the way!

I finally got into Gold 4 last night. (Woo!) Today I will be pushing for Gold 3!!

Cross your fingers that I get some decent teammates.... My plat 1 ADC friend is going to be duoing with me, so maybe that'll help a little, huh?

Recently I've picked up Karma mid/top. She's a MONSTER. Her damage and utility is bonkers..
Maybe between her, Ryze, and Vi I can get myself out of Gold.

Well, here goes nothing. If you guys have any suggestions or anything, feel free to let me know! (Such as champion choices, builds, etc.)

Happy elo grinding!

Soloqueue Surrender Conditions

(This is predicated on the condition that you are already getting stomped.)

As long as your team isn't raging at each other, then fight the game out, especially if you have some turrets to fight under. I've had quite a few games turn when the enemy team over commits to a fight under a turret (yes, even Nexus turrets) allowing our team a chance to get back in the game.

Doran's Items vs Wards

If you are at the fountain and your inventory slots are full and you still have a Doran's item, think about what your team needs right now. If it is wards then sell your Doran's item and pick up a stack of wards. If you know a fight is brewing and those extra stats will come in handy for that then keep the Doran's item.

Overconfidence

It is great that you are fed. Hi-five. Go you. Stop running straight up Mid without the rest of your team and dying to 3+ man picks. Get the rest of your team together so they can ward and act as meat shields while you do work…

Ouroboros Esports is a group of friends who have been playing league of legends together for years now, the goal is to attempt at a higher tier of play than standard 5v5 ranked while maintaining a fun spirit and overall enjoying ourselves playing a game together the way we always have. We will rise from the bottom and become the ones walking away the prize in our hands

Infinity Edge

So What's The Big Deal Anyway - IE's Popularity Amongst ADCs

…

Vladimir is a champ that I’ve had trouble getting a handle on. When I faced him he seemed to put out immense damage and just generally be something of a bully. However, when I played as him, I felt like I could do no damage and found myself having to go back frequently after trading and burning through all my Health Potions.

And while I’m not quite up to feeling like I can carry with him, I do feel like I’ve gotten a better handle on him and the epiphany was thus.

Tahm Kench as Support

Super Troll. My buddy gets him better than I do and once he has a point in all three abilities the fun begins.

1) Walk up to an enemy laner and apply three stacks of your passive
2) Devour them
3) Walk back to your ADC and deposit them a present
4) They Flash or take a heap of damage
5) Tahm heals up the majority of the damage he took so he can just do it again when his abilities are off of cooldown.

Another thing he likes to do is waddle over to the the river bush or the lane bush like he is going to ward and instead or in addition to warding, he eats his jungler and then runs back into lane and spits the jungler at them.

Once he gets Face of the Mountain it is tower diving time as Tahm can tank a disgusting amount of tower shots (10-12?).

And in cases where you force your lane opponents off their tower, but do not quite kill them he can ult and take his adc or jungler for an
