MOBAFire Blog Feed

Before I get into it, I should probably give an update of what's going on: For the past few weeks, I've been ridiculously busy. I've been getting up at insane hours, and then going to bed ridiculously late. Enough to the point where I don't even play LoL all that much anymore. Thankfully though, Spring Break is coming up and I'll finally be able catch up on my much needed sleep. I'll also be able improve my gameplay skills, which have been deteriorating since I've stopped playing, as well becoming more active on MOBAFire! I've been neglecting my guide updates, which isn't very good with all of the rune changes and reworks, but hopefully I'll have them done soon~

Now onto the topic of my blog! My ranked team is about to enter in our first ever tournament! I'm one of the newer players on our team (only been playing for about 9 months, haha), so I'm incredibly nervous. It's nothing extremely big, but it's still the first time I'll be competing for prizes and stuff. I'm absolutely terrifi…

Slowly but Shirley really sums it up right haha. It's been a slow grind but finally feel like I'm climbing again. At the beginning of Season 4 I made the mistake of playing my placements with a friend of a lower mmr and it was more for fun, I didn't think I would go from plat5 to bronze1 from going 5-5 with him so I'm happy to say I feel like soon I'll finally be back to where I was! Woot! <3

Since I watch mostly the NA LCS I'll talk mainly about that but here's my thoughts on the EU LCS as well.



1. SK Gaming (18-10) - I think SK still have more growing to do as a team but their players are pretty good or decent at the very least. In my opinion, they have a 50% chance to win playoffs despite being seeded first.

2. Fnatic (17-11) - For some reason, I feel like Fnatic are gonna win playoffs. I hope it doesn't happen though cause I don't wanna see them win a 3rd time in a row. No offense to Fnatic fans.

3. Alliance (16-12) - At first, I had 0 faith in Alliance. I just didn't think a team of star players would be able to forsake their egos and work as a team. They proved me wrong. However, I still don't think they are THAT strong. They have more growing to do like SK.

4. Team ROCCAT (15-13) - Roccat have the individual and team skills. How they do in playoffs will depend on what kind of form they're in. If they're in their recent from, I think they'll lose to Ga…

Hello guys, if u want to carry your useless team, you only have to instalock Annie mid; why annie? She is 100% able to carry a fight, she is safe on lane, she has good farm, she is cheap, and if you are a pedophile, she is your champ.
Improve first W, and load your passive in base, once you have your passive with 4 stacks, its time to go for a possible invade/counterinvade.
Even a person with extra chromosome is able to farm perfectly and without problems if you have your Q available, so in lane phase, take it easy, just go with the flow.
By the moment you get lvl. 6, you will insntantly activate your bankai, use flash is enemy´s face and destroy him with PassiveTibbers, followed by Q and W + ignite. 100%Freekill.

At min 15 more or less, you should have bought Deathfire Grasp, with this item, you become something like Goku. Easy mode: on; just use active Deathfire Grasp + R + Q + W.
Everybody in your team will say: omg this annie/this carry/honour annie plz/i want you to be my son´s…

Playing a game in PBE. Yes yes...I know...it's PBE. Bare with me here. We're playing and I duo with a guy I played last game. We don't know each other and we just decided to duo. Was a nice guy. We get into a game and let's just say it wasn't a normal team comp. Our jungler is Zed (guy I was duoing with) and I guess he messed up on some fights. Our Miss Fortune just goes nuts and calls him out. Swearing and saying "You suck. Go play bots. Never play a normal game again." So I just tell him "Shhhh it's okay. It's fine." Next thing

I'm in the process of updating my ryze guide. I've updated the build and masteries and some of the text. I just keep finding little things to change and hitting publish. If you want to read the completed thing, check it periodically. Only major change I need to make is focusing it more towards top and cleaning up matchups.

Happy Ryzing, and also, he's t1 enjoy

Thought I'd do a quick video of me running through a couple of standard pages (and some fun non-standard things). I don't know if they're optimal or not, but the changes are interesting nonetheless and I believe they open up for a lot more possible variety in rune choices. Feel free to discuss the choices I made here.



Also, I made one error saying my bruiser page was fit for shyvana while it doesn't have hybrid pen.

Hello everyone,

As most of us are aware, Gragas has been a top pick for the last little while. He was an extremely strong pick, to the point of being "overpowered". Because of this, Riot has applied a few small nerfs to him, and then flat out gave him a slight kit rework, calling it a, "Gameplay Update".

In this gameplay update, Gragas has been re-directed away from the role of a long range sniper to more of an AP Bruiser. If you look on almost any forum related to this topic, you will find plenty of people saying, "RIP

Just took a fluid mechanics test. It went rough. Safe to say, i'll need some CH3CH2OH tonight (if you know what i mean ^^)

My professor - that son of a ***** designed the test so that it was impossible to finish. Two questions, 50 points each. The first question was long, but relatively easy - thank goodness. The second question though. That was nasty.

It went something along the lines of this:
Seems a little overwhelming, doesn't it? Thankfully, there's a ever so useful system of equations we learned that helps us called the navier-stokes equation. Oh. You don't recall what that is? Don't worry - we were given this equation sheet for the test.



Now all we had to do was apply the navier stokes equations three times... In thirty minutes.

So, this post is dedicated specifically towards the explanation of what exactly "Solo Queue" is. The reason is because of just how little people think of what they are doing the second they hit that matchmaking button and why it is frustrating to try and climb, as well as the sense of entitlement for a higher position that every player has.

First off, What is Solo Queue?

Solo queue is a single player or a pair of players who get placed into matchmaking for ranked. But what does that matchmaking mean? This matchmaking grabs 9 other people (or 8) of your skill level (same matchmaking rating) and places them into "balanced teams." Now wait, that means that you are asking to be placed with 4 other people of your same skill level, with a positive attitude, well rested, not playing their first match of the day, and playing their best role/champion.

How asinine does that sound?

Too good to be true, that's what it sounds like, and you are probably nodding your head like "what kind of madne…
