Getting Started :)

Or post a video where I get owned. :D No one's viewing me yet anyways so I have pleeeeenty of time to get myself situated.

Until later my loves!

Why I don't think ELO Hell is as bad as they say

I hear people complain about ELO hell all the time. I'm here to say something. ELO hell isn't that bad. I have friends who are in Bronze V right now. All they do is complain about how teammates lose them every single game they lose and they only ever do anything in the games they win. Good examples of this kind of player are people who are bronze V with over 500 ranked games. If you're bronze V with 500 ranked games, it's not ELO hell, you're just bad.

A prime example is people who say " I went 14/0/2 in ranked and lost, ****ing ELO Hell"

this statements pretty dumb. If you're 14/0 and you can't carry baddies vs the baddies you got fed off of, you're bad. Think about it, if you're 14/0, you can probably instakill their threats, especially if you're playing a bruiser. Heck if you're playing a bruiser you might even survive.

"omg supports dont ward enough" is something else I hear a lot. Yes supports ward, but you know who else wards? Everyone else. If you're complaining that your tea…

First Blog / First LOL thoughts

I got League of Legends and immediately I started to wonder if I should even bother with it. I keep hearing on how online only games suck and ruin people's lives example = World of Warcraft, but even without that it would be hard for me to play the game since I live in South Africa where internet is poor when its at it's best and the prices are ridiculously expensive, but I decided to install the game anyway (case of where I already completed all my other games and I'm dying of boredom).

The first match was like everybody else's "woried, shaky and my stomach started eating
itself as if I had been stranded on an island for 3 weeks" but all that aside I did really
well for my first match, I played as Malzahar and got 12 kills, 2 deaths and 10 assists.
Immediately the ego went crazy and I tried another match and saw my *** faster than you can
say "pwned" and that went on for another 6 matches so my nostalgia and awe started to
dissapear as I began to think about punching a hole in my scr…

Confusing LP distribution

I mentioned in my earlier post that I was a the brink of dropping down to Silver II for some time, but managed to stay in Silver I. Well, I did drop and got back, but now I'm stuck at 10-20 points forever.

Who knows how the LP system works?
When I had gotten to Silver I the first time I got 20-27 points from winning, lost -20. That kept on for the longest of time till I got 65 points and I got +5 LP for a win. Then came the lose streak that dropped me to Silver II. I got normal +15 from winning so it was easy climbing back to Silver I.
Well, now I've been at that 10-20 points for a very long time. I don't know if it's amusing or frustrating, but I had a starting point of 27 LP after 4 wins in a row. Then yesterday I lost 4 games in a row, 1 more today and they left me at 9 points. I lost an amazing 18 points from five losses!
That is amusing. Or would be if I got more than 5 LP from winning...

So, does anyone know how LP is determined?
After my dropping to Silver II does the game thi…

Weight loss...

I think I've written in a blog once before about how I'm not happy with my weight. I'm not fat. I'm no where near fat,but I'm not skinny either. I use to be a size 2,and I have jumped up to a size 4. These past few months I've tried everything. Work out DVD's, cutting back on certain foods, and cutting back on soda. I've only lost about 2 pounds.

Well, I decided to go back to walking again. I love to walk.My neighborhood is in the shape of a circle and two "laps" is a mile. Back in high school, I use to walk four miles a day, maintained a weight of 95 pounds. My height is 4ft 8in, so nobody freak out lol. Anyways, with walking I can clear my mind,listen to music, and have time to myself without people bothering me. I started doing this on Saturday along with cutting back on calorie/carb intake, basically eating better. Just since Saturday, I've lost 1.5 pounds.

I'm not doing this for anyone,except me. I don't feel "sexy" anymore. When I weighed 95 pounds my body was perfect. I had a…

What needs to be changed in League

This game is probably in one of its more balanced states, given it's past. But there's no reason to simply ignore glaring issues that plague the game. There are always a few champions/items/archetypes that need examination, no exception here. The end of summer split LCS is a good point to stop and examine whats strong and weak within the game, after 12 weeks or so of lcs.

Thresh - if this isn't the most obvious head case then I don't know what is. The fact that a champion this blatantly broken was released should get the entire live design team fired. He's certainly no Xin Zhao release week strong, but he's comprable to that of

Praying Mantis Hatchlings



So my sister gave me some praying mantis eggs for my birthday that you can order from a seller. They are a way to prevent pesky insects from bothering your garden without using chemicals. We don't really have a garden but praying mantises are my favorite bug and they're cool to see regardless!

I had this little plastic cup with the mantis egg in it. I looked up how they laid their eggs since I was curious how there was a bunch of eggs inside one mass. Apparently they lay their eggs in a "frothy mass" and when this mass solidifies it becomes a solid ball with a texture similar to a wasp nest.

I woke up one day about 2 weeks later and there they were. I did not expect them to be so big, and there were so many! They were all scrambling around, and I'm really glad I didn't try to put it in my spare fish tank because they easily climbed up the side walls and were chilling on the roof of the cup, where my fish tank would have had holes that would be big enoug…

Life lesson? Idk what to title this.

Today was a nice and relaxing. I went to Walgreens to get more foundation and powder. I went into the pet section, just to look around, and found this adorable pet toy for my dog. I don't know if I've mentioned it,but back in December I adopted a 5 year old Maltese, well these past few months I've been slowly giving him things. He came with a whole bunch of clothes and beds,but this one he has is falling apart. I went on Etsy to see anyone had one that I liked. I eventually found one and fell in love with it. I love hand made goods. This is the bed I got him:

He loves it. I got it for $22 when it was originally 44. The day I got it and brought it out of the box, he fell in love with it. He won't sleep any other bed,but that one. Anyway's I found this cute little toy that is a monkey and it squeaks. When I got home and took it out of the bag, the look on his face was worth it. Now he's driving me nuts with the squeaking.

I've learned a lot in the past five months of having him. Dogs …

LoL Maths~ Clarifying some Misconceptions (Answer to...

Hey what's up MOBAFire community! In this post I won't really be answering to someone's question. What a selfish guy I am :P. I'll try to clarify some misconceptions and weird stuff.

*Disclaimer*: You may already know some of the info below. This is a long blog, if you don't want to read it all, skip to the conclusions :P.

Misconception #1:

Armor and Magic Resist have diminishing returns

Answer: Wrong. Only the damage multiplier number has diminishing returns. But that number alone has no meaning at all. What's the point of reducing damage if we don't even think of what effect damage has on you? When you take damage it reduces your Health. You HAVE TO take in consideration HP to see how efficient Resistances are. Each point of Resistance makes all of your Health points more resistant. When you put HP and resistances together to see how tanky you are, you can easily see that Resistances do not have any diminishing returns at all.

The formula is:

Effective HP = HP + 1% per point o

Really hate being MIA.

This past week has been ****. Around Tuesday I start feeling this pain in my side bellow my belly button, and I'm thinking maybe mother nature is about to bring me a gift so I just shrug it off. So, the next day I wake up and now the pain had gotten worse. I go to school and smile through the pain so people aren't like, "Omg, Laci are you okay?" and have to explain to them my side is hurting blah blah blah. Finally on Thursday, the pain is unbearable. I'm in bed crying,I didn't want to eat, and I felt nauseous. I tell my mom about it, and she's like "Hm, could be a kidney stone or your appendix." I'm like greattttttt I have finals, I can't be out of school. Come to find out, it I have "Irritable Bowel Disease". Once I went to bathroom,I was fine.

I feel bad because I went MIA again for a little while and I have signatures to finish. I always seem to go missing when they need to get done XD.

I guess this week hasn't been total ****. I received more money from FAFSA to go to school ov…
