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…

Soooooo I thought id start a blog on interesting things.
And since playing games on low elo queue doesnt particularly interest me anymore, and I have no idea what anybody else is interested in, I thought id do one on art.
Because you know, artists corner and all.
So this is pretty much my blog on Artistic stuff.
Enjoy!

Day 1:
Soooooooo did I mention I know nothing about graphics?
Cos I dont.
The last thing I remember drawing, I resfused to do in pink because thats a girls colour.
Because I was 5.
At last its nice to know that people try and include tutorials on these things...Which then go out of date.
Thanks Mobafreelo.
Now I'm not blaming whoever posted that video for not having it up to date, but what I am blaming them for, is me clicking on a button marked "DOWNLOAD" that happened to be directly below their ad, which led me to something that I may believe may possibly be malware. I think it might just be malware, because when I tried to cancel the installation, this happened.Well …

Whats up?

So today I had a free day (yay) and I played some league. That URF Gamemode though, I think Nidalee is quite strong. What do you think?

But thats not the only thing I played. You see, Ive been wanting to play Bruiser Kassadin since the nerf, but I always pussied out and ended up playing another thing.
BUT GUESS WHAT
I took courage and played it with a friend on a normal game :D

I dont know if its viable on Ranked, but with a good jungler you can make it work. I got a triple kill when I finished the Tear Upgrade!

This is what I used:

Masteries: 9/21/0
Runes: AP Quints, MR Glyphs, AR Seals, MP Marks
Summoner Spells:

Thresh hooks can change games and make lost causes into won team fights, so here are a few points I learned in a recent game I played.

1: consider if your enemy has a method of escape such as Ezriel's Arcane Shift or Lee Sin's ward jump

2: consider if they have flashed recently or if they have it up

3: consider which direction they will try to escape from, predict their movements

4: Take into account the wind-up on the hook

5: PRACTICE, it sounds cliche but you really just need to throw A LOT of hooks in order to get the hang of this mechanic

Thanks for reading, if you have any advice to help me with future blogs sound off in the comments and I'll try to get back to you, thank you again, Scorch

Been trying to play a lot of ranked since I want to distract myself and I actually got 7 wins in a row yesterday and 1 loss. Skipped a division as well. From Gold V to Gold III and I'm currently in my promos for Gold II with 1 loss. I'd say I did okay in all of the games for the most part. There were some mess-ups but they weren't huge or game breaking or anything. In 1 of the games my internet was unstable and I dc-ed like 3 times. The Riven I played against (as Shyvana) had a big cs lead on me but I just built full tank and just initiated/tanked for my team and they did the rest.

Right now, I'm trying to adopt the second way of playing Shyvana. Usually, I would just build some tanky items and get an early Blade of the Ruined King just so I can chase and kill carries. But you could also play more of an initiator/tank role where you just rush only tank items and start fights or protect your carries. Still not sure which path or playstyle I like more but I really wanna learn when to go…

So as far as I can tell, I just created the first URF guide in the world! Wooohoooo!!! xDanielWang: Setting world records one at a time!*
*cue maniacal laughter

Anyways, I tried out the ULTRA RAPID FIRE mode that Riot released today, and it is fantastic. Never had so much fun in a League game before. Spamming Lux ults is simply too fun. Thank you Riot for making our dreams into reality <3

The guide I made for ULTRA RAPID FIRE mode is kinda troll, but I had fun making it. I gotta prove my worth of my fancy badge somehow, right? I seriously doubt that anybody is going to stop and search up an ULTRA RAPID FIRE guide instead of jumping straight into the game, but I still feel triumphant for creating something that's never been created before ^___^ wahahahahaha

So, that about wraps it up. Sorry for the all CAPS in the guide, but man, the mode makes me really excited. Until next time, peace~

So this is a small excerpt of a section I've added to my 3v3 Gragas guide to try to help people with things I see over and over again in my Normal TT matches. I hope that posting it in blog form can help some of you twisted summoners out there to improve your 3v3 objective game because they're just as important in TT as they are in SR.


"Too many times have I lost Normals due to my randoms not knowing what objectives are more important than others. Here's a very important thing to understand:

For whatever reason, many people seem to think that taking the enemy team's alter is a smart plan while I'm the only person pushing to try to get a bit of damage on a tower, pinging away on the tower to get them to help :( Here are some things to think about after you get an ace.

• Taking a tower is permanent. It won't just respawn in 90 seconds. That thing is gone until you queue up for your next TT match.
• Towers give 150g per teammate whereas alters give 80g. That's almost

Hello, I'm currrently a level 26 with hopes of getting to challenger and so I have decided to start a blog about my journey to challenger and will be posting blogs about my games and what I've learned about specific champions in those games. (I've tagged all the champions I play at support so if you don't see a support that you think I should be playing there then let me know and I'll try them out). But there will be many interactions with you guys on this blog as I'm creating it to try and get better and Improve as a player. I will be posting daily and would love any pointers you could give me, thank you! - ScorchOne23

So after seeing so many signatures on MOBAFire, I really wanted to try and make one myself. To be completely honest, I've never even used photoshop before. So (probably completely biased here, haha) I think these look pretty awesome <3

Feel free to give me any tips, but if you do I probably won't even understand it lol. These were made from me just following tutorials word for word or just me messing around and trying to make it look pretty :3

Edit: I've been adding new images to my album, so you can see my work as I learn more about how to make sigs. If I get good enough, I might even start a Graphic Café!

So after disappearing for like 2 or 3 weeks, I'm back. During most of those 2-3 weeks I just didn't feel like doing any blog posts. I guess you could say I was pretty lazy. And as for yesterday, I had probably the worst day of my life because the girl I liked actually got together with one of my really good friends. Was one heck of a horrible day. Didn't even sleep at all.

But yeah, I needed to distract myself and I figured I would do a blog post. I'm not gonna be following the schedule for now because I really can't. Sorry bout that. So how are y'all doing?
