Now I know...

My last blog, I talked about having trouble in games. I was always playing support and getting kind of pushed aside. Well, I've been breaking out of that. The lectures suggested by a commenter (thanks again!) have been helping me improve. I've been playing bots to try and get a low-stress practice zone...but it's biting me in the rear. Players don't seem to care about playing seriously and improving against bots. They treat it less like practice, and more like a competition to get kills.

Which leads to this tangent story, a game against bots. I picked Karma, and was going to go about being a support for the Ashe in lane with me. They were about the same level as me, but kept doing stupid things - 2v1, running into turret to chase with no minions around, not paying attention or retreating, so on. Add onto that our two top lane players arguing about KS (because they thought THAT was how you get IP and XP in matches), and this was shaping up to be the first Beginner Bot loss in a long ti…

Lifesteal and Spellvamp: Riot needs to Delete these...

Lifesteal and Spellvamp are problematic stats in LoL. They are complicated unnecessarily, hard to understand, and very restrictive.

The majority of Summoners are confused about how these stats work exactly, even Pros are unsure about the specifics. And for Riot Champion Designers, they struggle to maintain the balance between all the different spells on all 116 Champions. Some Champions can abuse Lifesteal and/or Spellvamp, and others find it abo****ely useless. Some Champions are nerfed into uselessness because of their ability to heal with these stats. I want to level the playing field.

My idea is to get rid of these two burden-of-knowledge stats... and replace them with one stat.

***For the sake of this essay, I will use the term 'Lifevamp' so that we do not confuse the term with Lifesteal or Spellvamp, and to show that I am combining them.***

Going at it

I have been a League of Legends play off and on for the past 3 years. I started mid 2010, and have considered myself a casual player. Lately, I've been really into the game and am looking to improve in any way that I can. This is also the first time that I've seriously considered playing ranked, so my first goal is to get placed in a tier. Since Season 3 has come to an end, I suppose I will hold off on that until Season 4 comes into play, and in the meantime, I'll really zone in on what I can improve on, and what champions I want to completely dominate with.

So far, I'm pretty competent with these champions (from most skilled role to least)

Mid - Katarina, Akali,

Is it worth releasing a guide right now?

With the arrival of Season 4 many things will change, runes, masteries, wards, item slots and many other aspects of the game might be changed with the new season. As some may know, i have a complete Karma guide that is almost complete and i have a doubt. So, what is your opinion? Is it any worth to release a guide now, with the new season knocking? Or should i wait a bit more to release it?

Changes to map vision (Season 4 teaser)

S@20 link

Summary:
No changes to green wards. PINKS changed a lot; they are visible and will last until taken out by an enemy (aka, won't fade with time). They will also cost less gold than currently.

Each player can only have 3 green wards and 1 pink ward on the map at a given time, essentially forcing the ward whoring on EVERYONE, but lessened with trinkets.

New item/item slot: Trinket. They cost no gold and the three trinkets are (1) Sweeper, which reveals invisible wards/traps (NOT CHAMPIONS), (2) Totem, bonus 1-2 minute green ward, and (3) Lens, essentially a mini-CV. There's possibility of adding more trinkets if Riot sees any need to.

What this means:
The ward limit APPLIES TO ALL WARDS, including wards generated from items. Meaning a support just needs to buy a Ruby Sightstone and maybe pocket a few pink wards for the entire game. They now have three slots open for non-boots, which will be important with the new items being introduced in S4.

the LP/ELo idea to riseing the sturgle

Hey guys, its lightningman74 here and i think mmy friend romingtoster and I have finaly figured out a way to ranked up more than one promotion when you in you series. okay so as most of us know the "ELO system is still in use we just don't see it as much as we used to. if you ever woundered why your elo wasn't going up or why you weren't in silver or uper bronze is because what the LP system shows is that every LP poin and ELO point are one and the same so therfore; If you gain say 21 LP you Elo raises by 21. so in by understanding this it takes 100 LP/ELO to get out of a section like bronze 5.

Not to say that Bronze 5 is the new "ELO hell" because there are some players in bronze 5 that are vary good and should be silver or even gold just they might not play alot of ranked, and there are some people who have 200 ELO and are in bronze five and they could posibly get to bronze for with close to 300 ELO but, We all know we win some and we lose some but with that idea were mostlikly cons…

The Truth about the Mobafire community

I have attempted to become part of a League of Legends community for a while and considering the "good" reputation that Mobafire had I decided to give this site a chance, I came in with respect for it and the people that were already members here hoping to be educated and Taught how to truly play LOL from the "better players".

I was wrong...

Since I have joined Mobafire I have been the unfair victim of bullying, disrespect and disdain from the same people I showed the utmost respect for since I have arrived here and for what reason? All because they hate the fact that a newbie actually had a few interesting ideas of his own and didn't want to be all "Yes I am so stupid and You are so smart" to them all the time.

I have tried harder than anyone else in Mobafire to be a part of the community, trying to learn from others and improve my gameplay whilst meeting new people but the truth is despite the amount of "Help on offer" throughout this page...absolutely nobody has lifted a finger t…
