Well, went to bots 5 vs 5... Decided not to go 3 vs 3 because my friends were busy. Started by getting boots and 3 pots. Well, i will be honest, game ended with 4/5/3. But, there is are some reasons that i will speak about now:

1- It was my first time. I didn't know how to use the skills properly.

2- I did not know how to use that damn R! It was a serious rage in my head. Seriously must watch some videos about talon.

3- There was a HUGE kill stealer in my team. A lucian. Oh my god, I just wanted to find that guy in real life and slap him across his face.

4- Annie mid. I hate you and your pedobear.

Still, i think the game went well. Most of the times i died to a turret because i'm used to tower dive with riven... guess talon isn't the best tower diver. I will post my progress soon.

Well, I have always been a Riven player, but today, I am going to start something new. I bought Talon. I wonder how it is to play

Goodbye Silver, Hello Gold!

After 289 Games of spamming ranked with Zyra support and queuing up over 500 Ranked Games, I finally reached Gold.

I cannot believe that I actually came all the way here after I was placed into Bronze III (and once going down to Bronze IV at one point - I was at the point where I gained 2~3 LP for a win but lost 20 LP at one loss). I was about to give up when I rotated from Bronze I to Bronze IV in ranked. I saw some of my Bronze friends giving up their account and making fresh account (and they reached Silver with that), and I honestly thought "Should I do that too?" I was once a believer of Elo Hell, and while I was never a flamer or someone who got reported for offensive chats, I kept my opinion away from the chat, instead thinking "Why is this guy losing my ranked game..." in deep of my mind. I hated to hear my own mistake, and while I nodded in admit when my friends said, "You are doing this/that wrong.", I never wanted to admit that I was making bun…

Yo, welcome to my second blog post.

Couple things happening right now for me:
Firstly, College, I'll be attending it. That is to say my second year of college starts next Monday, doing a computers course for those who don't know. Hoping to get into game design, though Id be fine working as a programmer as well. Due to some course changes, the stuff I learned from one of my modules (networking) has become totally obsolete and I know have to cram in two years worth of the stuff thats on the new course :(
Still, I mostly enjoy it, so it should be cool.

On a much more relevant note, I just finished up my second guide, that being 2v1 Rengar: The Bushwacka. Right now I'm trying to find a bit of art that would work well for a line divider, but since everything else is done I decided to upload it as is and I'll update it later.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have been playing LoL now for quite some time now and I have tried every role in order to find what suites me the best ... oddly enough the role I hate the most is the one I am the best in xD, I am ofcource talking about support role and I tried to deny it at first, but my win ratio as a support is extremely higher than all the other roles I have tried and now I am searching for that one champion I can call upon to be my main ...

nothing ... really don't want any of them.

Morgana
Has a snare and a shield for ADC, downside that shield is only good for AP damage not AD.
Taric
Has a stun + a heal wich is nice, only downside is that he is gay (don't you people try to deny it ... have you seen his pink skin, holy sh*t).

So Xel'nath made this post on the EUW forum a while back and it's absolutely FLOODED with replies on how to improve support/jungler gold (NA link). I personally think the following ideas would work wonders at improving jungler/support gold without affecting laners:

• Smite: Every monster kill grants a stacking buff that increases the value of neutral monsters by 1 gold, stacking up to 15 times. This buff decreases by 1 stack for every minion slain. Note that taxing lanes is still mathematically better for the jungler's wallet than not taxing lanes; this simply prevents laners from taking smite instead of ignite and farming up a storm.
• Allow the purchase of Explorer's Wards for 45 gold, or decrease the cost of wards by 5 for every ward placed down to a minimum of 50/100 for green/pink wards respectively. Not sure if good idea, on second thought.
• Make GP5 items grant substantially more gold (something like 10-20 gold per 10), but add a 10s cooldown on them triggered by minion/monster k

I understand the high use of Ezreal in games now and he has become one of the most loved/hated champions in the game. I feel there are something with his kit and recent builds that have made him beyond annoying to lane against and lockdown in teamfights. His mobility via Arcane Shift isn't really the problem. The blue build and the new

For my second post ever, I want to talk about something that bothers me when I play normal games.

I main support and I have a win rate of around 66 % when I support but sometimes I like to do something different or if I'm stuck in another role. The thing is: I am able to fulfill other roles but my knowledge of the matchups and gameplay of the other roles is somewhat lacking. (except adc, I always see them play so I know) To remediate to that problem, I practice other roles in normal blind pick games.

Here's the thing: when I play normal, I always play versus people that are always lower than me in ranked (I'm currently silver III, it's not that good I know) I know that elo is not representative of a player's skill. I win most of my lanes with ease. This makes my practice less relevant because my opponent is rarely a good challenge... Example: Every time I top with Quinn in normal, I wreck my opponent. I tried her twice in ranked and got destroyed twice... And I didn't play any differ…
