Hey guys look at my TOOOOOOTALLY original mastery trees!
Yes it is original, it's 18-0-12 not 19-0-11 :P

Once upon a time, there was a man named Crudsman McMuffin. He decided one day to play a game called League of Legends. He just got into Silver V and wanted to keep ranking up because he was finally away from people who are hard to work with. He goes top and picks Garen. A little way in the game, he notices that his bot lane was not doing to well and the enemy Miss Fortune started to get fed! Even though the bot lane is just pushing and getting killed against this MF, they decided to blame the jungler. We then found out that they were Duo Queuing so they refuse to blame themselves! The bot lane wonder Duo kept feeding until their was nothing the rest of the team could do, even though Top and Mid lanes both won their lane. Through this entire time, the bot lane wonder Duo would rage and be very ignorant to their terrible plays.

This, my friends, is an average day playing solo queue in bronze in silver. I can understand if all the better players think this makes me a noob for being in Si…

This post is brought to you by Enigma's Item Changer, for all your recommended item, shortcut changing needs.

Shameless advertising, but I like the program and it has yet to do anything irritating. If you the reader are a newbie, you should go ahead and invest in this free program. Any self respecting player should know that the original recommended items (usually) suck.

Now on to today's stuff. I've decided to go through my saved item lists and organize them to a more uniform code. Nothing screams fail like spending 5 seconds at the fountain trying to decide what to build next.

Though I must confess, I have spent 8 seconds sitting as Sona because I was something like 10 gold away from an item. I justify it by saying that I usually take gold quints on her so it isn't as bad as 1g/sec. Anyway...

Item spring cleaning is weirdly fun, probably because I get to improve on what already works. I did stumble upon an item for my Sona though: Will of the Ancients. I usually play a strictly s…

So when I first created my Ezreal guide, it was going well. It was at around 85% at its peak. But since then due to some trolls my guide has somehow fallen to 76%. Thus I am archiving my old guide and recreating it, this time with some changes to it like the masteries change and summoner spell changes. Turning on C2V the entire time as I don't want to get trollvoted so badly like last time lol.

It's been a while since I made a blog post, and I thought this would be a fun thing to share with you guys.

I'd been interested in aquariums and researching them for a while. One day I stopped by a local fish store just to check it out since I thought it'd be neat. The fish store was awesome! One thing that made me really happy is they had a few bettas (Siamese Fighting Fish) that they actually kept in community tanks with other fish instead of those ****py little cups like you usually see them in. My boyfriend was with me and we spotted a beautiful purple betta in one of the tanks (which by the way is my boyfriend's favorite color). We both fell in love with him and I decided to get a small tank.

2 days and a bunch of car trips later I've gotten my tank set up and bring my new betta (Roy) home from the store along with a couple of plants. I got a 6 gallon cylindrical tank. Unfortunately, this was not the best purchase because apparently the filter that came with the tank kit pulls w…

And no, I'm not talking about these people who try their best and still fail.
That's completely acceptable. I mean, everyone has a bad game, and I despise people who flame them for that.

I'm normally not a person who does these kind of things, I really don't like hatespeaking about other people, and this is moreover a rant, so please be considerate.

Now, I just had two people in my ranked queue which (premade) trolled after not getting the role they wanted to have. (Consider they were 4th and 5th pick). Our 3rd pick even went support, but ah well. I don't quite understand these people. I mean, you solely play ranked to win (Old human instincts blah blah blah) and then there are these people. I'm not mad at them because I lost 5 points for dodging, I'm mad because they're abusing the system. The reasoning isn't there. If they are playing ranked to troll people, they create another kind of elo hell, because they won't get punished for losing, they have fun on other peoples expenses and…

Well, as I hoped, I was able to rail off a quick 2 game win streak. I even played something besides support for one of them! I played Pantheon top vs Jax...sorta did a bad job at bullying him early and let him farm his way into scariness. Luckily, I managed to match his trades just enough to hold him off and keep my turret, allowing my jungler to camp bot and get our Ezreal fed. A couple of one-sided teamfights later, the white flag came out!

Same thing in the 2nd game, except I supported as Sona. Had a really nice team that warded everywhere. It's always nice not having that responsibility fall solely on me. Anyway, I think I played just an okay game, but I managed to bait myself for a couple of worthwhile trades which got my Tristana fed. Our jungler was very good too and helped get Tris and our Ryze fed. After the enemy's failed desperation Baron, the surrender came out.

Sooo now I'm in Silver I. Hooray!

Now that everyone is in the full swing of season 3, you can see that the ranked player pool is just exploding. In my opinion that is great! I love to see new people out and about in ranked play channeling their inner LCS Pro. It makes me feel like the game is doing what it is supposed to be doing: creating a great PvP atmosphere for everyone.

Here is the kicker though. People are getting so wrapped up in their climb to the top that they forget the game. Sure, I am all down for being a competitive junkie who want to win every game that they play, but ya gotta do it in style. The thing that I hate the most is that one player who is jusst all over everyone and is the biggest downer to the team. Come on man, it isn't like we are playing ranked to try to get as low as we possibly can.

I would just like to take this time to make sure that everyone knows that:
1. We actually do want to win, durrr.
2. No, we aren't all ******s. We just don't think saving you in a 1v4 is a good idea.
3. We ar…

Just made it into my Silver II promotion series. I was debating sleeping or playing it out. I decided to try and play it out. The game was fairly conservative for the most part. Neither team really knew how a teamfight would turn out. Most of the game consisted of catching players out of position. Even though we were losing by a few kills, we were actually doing okay by forcing the other team to split up by constantly split pushing, so we were winning in turrets and overall map control.

At some point, we got Baron, and we decided to group up. Unfortunately, as we tried to group up, our Zed got caught a few feet away from us and was annihilated, after which they immediately engaged (with a ton of AoE CC) and evaporated our team 4 for 0 within a matter of seconds. Just like that, game over.

Those games are just so unsatisfying. I'm okay losing a legit teamfight, but the fights like the one I just described really suck. Your team never gets a real fighting chance, and the late game deat…
