So I have been in a massive slump lately. It's been going for a while but it hadn't really bothered me/been as apparent as it's getting right now.

The main cause of this is pretty simple. After searching for a champion/role to play for an entire season, finally finding one and putting everything I had into her (Riven), I am now unable to play her due to her massive increase in popularity in high elo solo queue and as a result the perma ban she pretty much has now. I didn't really have a plan B either. I had a few back up champs that I enjoyed playing when Riven wasn't available but as much as I enjoy playing them, it's just not the same.
Now that I'm so close to hitting diamond 1, but no longer have my main champion available to me, I've just been feeling less and less motivated to play the game.

The way I usually deal with a slump is I just take a break from the game for a week or two, which I pretty much have done. I have had slumps before and they were always resolved by just doin…

I have been trying out support champions recently because I love the role and I want to find a support champion that I really enjoy. I looked up all of the available support champions, and I saw that Morgana and Lux both are listed. Never before seeing a duo bot

So I'm playing as Dr. Mundo in a normal game and I go up against an Irelia. Now I'm thinking..."She walks into a bar...and there is no counter". Well dang...what the heck. Looks like I should just farm up and rush a

Just watched Battle of the Atlantic. Glad to see my TSM boys are doing good with Bjergsen. They had a bad start in game 2 but they still played well as a team. I remember I hated Bjergsen when he first came on the team. Probably cause I didn't want Regi to move to Coach position. But he's grown on me quite a bit. Still miss Regi but Bjerger King is pretty good too :P

Go Go TSM!!

P.S - That Dyrus trashtalk at the end <3

VIDEO GUIDE IS UP!!!
Check out my Sona video guide to see how I play Sona with a full commentary explaining why I do the things I do, and hit the "like" button if you love it!

I finally got my video guide finished a few days ago, and now it's up on YouTube and ready to watch!

I've been wanting to make a video guide for a while. I've always enjoyed watching other people's videos since it helps me see how they play and when to buy certain items, as well as showcasing a particular champion's abilities and strengths. So when I made a MobaFire guide for Sona, a video was the next logical step for me.

In the video, I'm playing a normal PvP game (not ranked) with Sivir as my ADC against a Blitzcrank and

Starting Items

Strategy

Stacking your Dash

Stacking your dash is a great tool for increasing your DPS. To do this dash enemies until you have 4 stacks then proceed to dash the enemy you want to damage the most. Each stack increases the damage that the next dash deals by 25% capping at 4 stacks (100%). This helps you work around the single target higher cooldown while manipulating the lower .X cooldown to amplify your damage

Engaging fights Long Range

You can stack your steel tempest on near by creeps. Doing this allows you to charge your tempest prior to being in the midst of battle. After you gain your stacks you want to fire your whirlwind then ultimate a large group or single out an important carry through this method. This increases the chance you have to actually be active in a fight. Without having to dash in and risk being locked up.

Using Alternative knock ups to Ultimate

Last Breath does not need to be triggered by the steel tempest knock up. By placing yourself in a team with Knock up…

Battlecast Urgot


Price: 1350 RP
Skin : Imperial

Battlecast Urgot turns the Noxian Executioner into an spiderlike roboter created to kill. There are major changes at almost all parts of Urgot's classic skin.
His modell is changed into a iron-spider robot with increased weaponary like a rocket launcher and an acid cannon.His Acid Hunters(Q) got changed into new rockets with a new sound.His Terror Capacitor shield(W) also got visaully improved.On the top of that his Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverser (R) got blue particles which looks awesome.
Also his walking animation got changed a little bit to harmonize with his spider legs.

The Skin Icon is impressive. It presents Urgot in a combat where this machine seems to belong. In the backround you can see a burning forest which adds some combat atmosphere .Urgot is presented mighty and huge and you can see his weapon gear working. A really terrifying and awesome picture.

Overall Battlecast Urgot offers a ton of changes for a legitimate but …

Dragonknight Mordekaiser



Price: 520 RP
Skin : Legacy-Rare

Mordekaiser is a classical retextured skin that is well executed. Simply Mordekaiser's armor and Maze are coloured in bloodred and golden. The golden colour is shiny which looks nice. A golden dragon is printed on Mordekaiser's cape which defines the skin and is nice looking. The rest of the skin is unchanged which does not create a new experience but feels nice especially because of the good price.

On the other hand his Skin icon does not look that well. It reminds of Mordekaiser's previous classic skin without a lot action in the picture. The canyon backround is nicely executed and fits Mordekaisers's changed armor.

Rating: 3,5/5

Name: Morphodox the inter-dimensional drifter

Lore: "To be able to know your enemies, you need to be them... Then you can have fun." -Morphodox

Outside of our dimension, deep in the void, many creatures home themselves in the pockets of time, hidden away undisturbed. The protector of this world, Kassadin dedicated himself to the protection of this world, to keep it's harmony as it had been for centuries. The void's armies had been prepared for war since the declaration of "the league of legends" knowing that this longing for power over two continents would cause an uproar to be heard across galaxies... And so they were right...

The sound of weapons being fired into the ground awoke void creatures, disturbing their sleeps. An unknown energy emitted from the pods which landed with the explosions. It appeared that the void was part of a war which they knew nothing about, their attackers were known only as the 'spawns'. A race of creatures that could change into the shape of their enemi…
