Recently I've started leveling my smurf up and have noticed that there are other people that smurf that just abuse the hell out of the legit low level players, I try to help as much as I can but it just annoys me that there are people like that in the community, one time I had a yi on my team I called mid as viktor who I had never played before but it was a smurf so I'm like wth I'll give him a go this yi then just randomly says I'm mid and abuses me. I go top so I don't cause an argument and then because I was top and I was viktor I did terribly so yi just abuses the **** out of me for being bad. It makes me wonder if that is why there are so many trolls at level 30 or why the level 30 community is so quick to turn to abuse.

Two things:

What are your favorite console co-op games? Any game console qualifies. Must be co-op, competition doesn't count.

Honorable mentions:
Secret of mana (SNES)
Resident evil 5 (XBAWCKS)
King of dragons (SNES)

Compiling a list. Gimme your favorite co-op games of ALL TIME!

Also, I'm looking for younger people that haven't played some early snes/nes classics and would be willing to play those games and record your thoughts. Some of the games are pretty long on their 1st playthrough, so you have to be committed to finish the games in a timely manner (week or less).

Some games I was thinking about:
Secret of mana
Super Mario RPG
Chrono Trigger
Super Metroid
Actraiser
Various megaman titles

All of these are available in rom format. Got spare time and haven't played older games, HMU kiddies

Hey MOBAFire and welcome to another blog post of mine. Well, as an aspiring game designer I decided to analyze designs in other games and League of Legends is one of them. I won't just cover champion designs but also other aspects such as Roles, Wards, Items and perhaps even the Maps. Also, don't expect just League of Legends designs. I will also discuss other games such as Skyrim, Civilization, Legend of Zelda, etc. Anyway, my first blog will cover

I've played 3 games anddddd I've only won 1. I might as well accept I'll be in bronze T.T It sucks because I do everything right and I'm doing good it's just my teammates are like "NO. I'MA DO WHAT I WANT!!!!" Sigh. I'm trying so hard. Do you guys think I should just give up because I pretty much know at this rate I'm gonna get up in bronze. I've had high ranked friends say "Come duo with us" but I want to earn being in a good tier not have someone hold my hand. I'm just kinda disappointed I've only won 1/3.

Hey everyone!

Today marks the start of a new series of blogs I will write! I will try to write a blog like this weekly, taking a different item every week of course.
This week I want to talk about Executioner's Calling - one of the least bought items according to Elophant. As you can see in the second graph, the popularity is about 0 %. I've been wondering why this percentage is so low, and to find out, let's get into a more detailed description of the item!

• Costs: 1900 gold

So I just got the completely random idea to start writing about my experiences as support, and mentoring supports. My goal with this is to write some sort of a support-101 guide to help any aspiring support players. While writing this, I have been inspired by guides/streams by EG.Krepo and TSM.Xpecial. I would recommend anyone to check these players out!


First of all, I would like to cover the common misconception that a support cannot carry games. This is 100% incorrect. The reason people think this, is because they are simply playing too defensively, and simply assisting their carry instead of making plays themself. As a support, you are the brain of your carry. Basically, the only things your carry should worry about, is farming and positioning. As a support you are dealing with anything else. About 90% of the other things are orchestrated by the support.


That is why you are not a good support, when you are sitting back and waiting for something to happen, instead of making the …

So the name is Hothor and my in-game name is XHothorX and I've been playing League of Legends now for about a year and I've just recently wanted to try my hand at being a competitive player and make a big impact in the NA scene. Although I am only a Bronze T2 player at the moment, I feel like my game play is somewhere in the Gold Division or higher.
I am a really calm laid back type of player but when I play ranked matches I am totally filled with adrenaline and ready to do what needs to be done in order to become successful in matches. I tend to work with people rather than against them or work around their play styles or compositions. I haven't quite found my position that I want yet but I prefer Top Lane, Jungler, and or Support in most cases.
I would love to play in tournaments someday and until then, I will be trying hard to improve myself but also share what I know to other players so that they can learn and enjoy the game the same way I do.

A lot of people complain about their teams and when friends come to me and ask what they can do in certain situations in order to not lose a game that is going poorly they pretty much always state that it was out of their hands because "bot fed" or "top did nothing but farmed and never actually joined in the teamfights when we needed."

Statements like the ones listed above bother me because there is always something that you could have done in order to try to move things into your team's favor. I'm not saying you can win every game just from being clever, but there are things that can be done when it comes to your own gameplay that could have made a difference and it is going back an identifying these instances that will really help you grow as a player.

I'm going to pull a few specific quotes from a statement sent out by Scarra yesterday that is an honest and true assessment of his gameplay during the LCS Allstar competition to which I respect fully. …

Hi folks!

So I came out with a theory... a theory that I made to try to explain the reasons for sometimes we come up with a marvelous team, and sometimes with a full trolls team.

My theory is the "Win and Lose Theory", pretty obvious no? xD



It consists in the idea that, if you have a great success in a week or two (with a lot of carrying and a lot of good teamplayers), you will then suddendly come up with full troll teams in the FOLLOWING week.

I believe the reason for this, is for Riot to "control" the good players, so that they don't just win all games everysingle time.



I tell you to try this theory, play well this week with your main champion, and carry all games long. then you will notice the amount of trolls increase in the following week.

And if you can't carry this week... then you are already in a troll week :S
