Still didn't achieve much but at least I managed to hit it in like 10-ish days of playing (from Silver II). MMR is still pretty high so I should be able to continue the grind. Fun fact though, I managed to hit it on one of my smurfs called FrankTheStego, also known as my Jarvan-only account. Current stats are below.



The last two games weren't really impressive. I died a lot by being the frontline so that kind of did a number on my KDA and average death count but overall I did play properly. Both games didn't go amazing and had to be won in the late-game.

How's everyone else's grind going? Playing on mains or smurfs?

Hello everyone, lately i forgot to update my journal regurarly... i forgot my password and was lazy to reset it :P. Well anyway i finally made it out of bronze... actually wasnt that hard, just needed lots of matches and heavy carrying.

I expected some improvements in silver matches, not much just a little... but i never been so wrong. This low silver tier is so damn toxic it makes me want to quit... Generally in bronze most of the players are simply bad or stupid, the amount of toxic players is not that bad, if they see you play good, they listen to you, if you carry them they ask you how can they improve, add you friend etc...

But in silver? Right now i'm in silver V and get matched with bronze I to silver III players, i hope this doesnt apply for higher leagues... Here all i see is people claiming they are plat smurfs or higher, or simply claiming they are higher but they constantly lose of bad players, telling how hard they can carry on a lane. But the truth is, they fail so …

On the strength of Pantheon, I Mantheon'd my way to Gold today, despite losing 2 promos in the past week and going on some sort of 5 game losing streak at some point. I feel happy and just relieved. Been a long time coming. Here's to not getting demoted to silver ever!

Also, I should never play during the day again. Day=losses. Night=Wins. I'm some sort of weird night owl.

Something To Think About

I've been playing League for a while, and just recently hit level 30. I started playing ranked and was told by friends who were already ranked, that ranked game play was gonna be hard. When I first started playing ranked, I was expecting it to be hard, of course, but what caught me off-guard was that it was harder than I ever expected. So until I earn the IP I need to buy my runes, I decided to play normal games. Now most of you are thinking, "What does this have to do with anything?"(Probably not but humor me). While I've been playing my normal games (and a few bot games), I've noticed that some people have been different types of play styles with their champions. Some I've never seen played. I just recently learned that Shaco can jungle. Another game I saw someone try Nidalee top lane. And to my surprise it actually worked. I'm usually one to stick to a lane a champion actually is fit to go to, but I've done lane swaps as well if you will, and made it work. …

Solo queue pairs me with a Sivir who has never played ADC before against a Challenger Lucian with over 100 games under his belt is this real life...

Hai guys! So I've been deciding on a champion to buy lately to refresh the fun in the game for me (cuz' experiencing greatness with "new" champions is fun for me.) I tried Shyvana this week and I found her to be very fun and frankly, beginner friendly (imo). But in the end, I decided I wouldn't buy her yet for some reason (mainly unsure if I would do well with her afterwards in Summoner's Rift or not after playing her in Twisted Treeline).
So now I'm deciding if I should buy Brand,

Hello fellow Summoners. TooH checking in to say Elo Hell is just as bad as before. This is my Third Season, and after I finished my provisional games I am still in the Bronze V division. I do not agree with this placement, but the game knows best. I will climb out of Elo Hell as fast as I can, but gonna need a hand from you all. I am looking for players that understand the Importance of Warding and Vision, as well as team members that can Engage, and Disengage. Summoners that know how to Defend as well as be the aggressors. I have been in Hour+ Games and won in the end, I know what I am doing in any Role or Position. I prefer Jungle or Top, but I can play all Roles, and have a Champion Pool to pick from. I look forward to meeting you all on the Fields of Justice, and hope to gain ground on my Climb outta Elo Hell. GL to you all and GeeGee to those who have earned it.

EDIT: It would appear that you can also run 5 armor pen marks, 4 flat ad marks and 1 flat ad glyph to have the same bonus ad as the 4 percent lifesteal page. (You still run flat ad quints) Noone would know you were running armor pen and not lifesteal, unless they looked you up.

As Season 4 is picking up speed, I am predicting 6 armor penetration reds, 3 flat ad reds and flat ad quints to become the standard for ad carries once again. These runes were seen as optimal at certain points in time and indeed, it was not uncommon for certain players to run armor pen reds AND quints. As we come to a point where everyone is hitting high amounts of armor late game the similarity to flat damage in the early game and reliability in the late game make armor pen much more attractive these days.

Let's say you even get outlaned by someone with 2 lifesteal quints and you can't justify dropping the lifesteal for early game. The fact is there will always be a most optimal choice for every game and …

Hey guys!
So i haven't blogged in a while so i guess here i am!

So last time i blogged about my ranked i was still a lowly bronze 2 player having climbed from bronze 4. That was back in October november-ish of last year.

Sadly like my original goal i did not achieve silver by season 3's end. But that whole i want to get Silver made me realise something. Yes i do play this game for fun... But i also want to improve at this game. Probably will never go pro or anything of the sort but hey i still wanna see just how much i can improve right?

And so pre-season start and i was at that bronze 2 level. I continued on with the playing ranked and constantly learning and improving. finally After efforts i finally managed that ever elusive silver sometime in december. In the end i finished pre-season in silver 4.

Reset came along and my ranked journey restarted after god awful placement matches that got me back in bronze 2. But i kept it positive and thought to myself. you know what? this is s…

Okay so my last blog post was about the rise of Ryze. This one...is about the rise of both Ryze and
