Update: Draft is finished. Thanks to those who joined! :3 (I might make another league soon :3)

Kinda late but I figured better late than never. So, if any of you would like to join, that would be really cool :3

Excluding me, there's 7 spots. Let's play together! I'm totally "not" gonna pick TSM players xD...

Wooo~! I was lucky enough to get matched vs a Riot Employee! I was playing on my sister's account and a friend of mine wanted to play. In loading screen we realized there's a Riot employee on the enemy team. In the 4 years I've played this game, I've always wanted to play at least 1 game vs a Rioter and I finally did haha. To be honest, I'm fully aware Rioters are normal people and normal players but it's still nice to be able to say that I've played with a Rioter before.

I told a friend of mine about it and she said she has the Rioter on her friends list since her team played with him and 4 other Rioters. So yeah, I finally played with a Rioter haha. Pretty cool :P



And here's a link to the video where my friend's team plays vs the Rioters.

Riot vs OBC

I have started to gather some information and get some tips ready as well as some guides. I am hoping for it to be ready by Friday, but school is getting very crazy due to upcoming testing. If you have any questions please leave them below. I love to read every comment and look forward to seeing if you guys will like this guide.

Hello guys! I'm a bronze 1 adc/supp main trying to work my way up toward the promised land of the bling level! League is by far my favorite game, not only for the gameplay, but for the people I play the game with.

I know there's a stigma involved with the people who play league. I've heard it directly from game developers that are friends of mine and work for companies up in Seattle (not going to name names).

My girlfriend had just graduated from law school, and our friend had flown down from Seattle to see it and be supportive! She works for a well known gaming company, so of course I asked her if she was working on any moba type games. I also asked if she played any, and what she thought of league of legends.

Her response summed up was, "I'll play only with friends or against bots. Because the league community doesn't regard new players too highly, and is extremely hostile toward them. You have no chance to learn the game and get better without people flaming you so hard th…

Hello,

I am the current starting mid-laner for the Red Sons and i'm very excited to be apart of the upcoming Astro Tourney. Coming into this my team and I are very confident of our chances to win the whole thing. I think this will be a very fun tournament. We of course have a very good all-around team, but if we want to win this then we need to identify our weaknesses and improve on them. Having our shotcaller in the jungle make the flow of the game go a lot smoother and should improve our overall game performance. Our team just needs to work hard to get better and we will have a good shot at this tourney!

For those that don't know Riot has set up a fantasy LCS league for you to make with friends


I wanted to make a tier list of sorts or give a basic run down of what I think will be the best picks, maybe some sleepers, and perhaps some players that will regress:


Scoring is going to work in multiple ways

For Individuals

Kills worth 2 points
Deaths worth -0.5 points
Assists worth 1.5 points
CS worth 0.01 point per CS

There are then bonus points for

Triple Kills worth 3 points
Quadra Kills worth 5 points
Penta Kills worth 10 points
>10 Kills/Assists worth 2 points

Teams get far fewer points with a minimum of 1 for things like first blood and a maximum of 2 for things such as a Victory

Initial Strategy should tell you that individuals are far more important than drafting teams early. Teams can be a strong point stream; for example a team like Cloud 9 which consistently dominates each split with strong Objevtive, Baron, Dragon control and frequent victories will be a stead…

Been having a rough time in ranked lately went from 88 points in Diamond division IV to being demoted to Diamond V. Now it's time to climb back up again like I've done two times before after being demoted :P

Going to stream a few ranked games this morning so anyone is welcome to join my chat and talk to me while I stream, which I enjoy very much :)

Btw, did anyone watch this nights Bellator? MVP is such an amazing fighter with his flashy and illusive style.

It's been a while since I've actually been properly active, I've just been dropping comments here and there, but not really properly getting involved in much. I've fallen behind my review service and not playing as many LoL games (especially ranked) and my skill has dropped considerably in the last few patches among other things and I just wanted to give a quick update on what has been happening in my life recently.

- So I finished my final exam two days and have just been spending my freedom with some friends.

- I got an offer from Birkbeck College, University of London to do a MA Degree in Philosophy provided I get a 2:2 in my current course.

- I auditioned for a professional dance company back in March and got accepted. I now rehearse on Fridays, meaning I can no longer make inhouses, and some Saturdays, along with sporadic ones here and there, depending on when we next have a show. I have already done a video shoot for the BBC last Thursday to be aired on the 6th June on 'Songs …

Well it's been a long while since I've done one of these and I think it's about time I jump back in the saddle. This one's going to be a lengthy one and I feel rightfully so since it's about some very big things.

So recently I've jumped back into ranked and I'm silver 1 trying to get to gold and I almost get there quite often, but I keep running into these few issues at my rank. Now don't get me wrong here please, I am by no means professional or just amazing at league. So here are the things I keep seeing in ranked that bother me and have since the beginning of league in ranked. We see top tier champs always played. Why you might ask? Well it's simple... because they're easy to play and offer the least amount of failure state for their kit.

How would someone go about fixing this? A lot of people would say "Well just pick that champs counter and carry your team like you're suppose to." Alright let me tell you what I see wrong with this statement. "Carry your team" is the first thing …
