SO I have been listening to some awesome music when I play a few champs and wanted to share them as you might enjoy them too.

Twisted Fate
The Shape of My Heart
By Sting
This song is about cards. And Tf has a Jack of Hearts skin.

Kayle
Calling All Angels
By Train
This should be self explanatory as she is an angel

I doubt anyone reads this seeing as I don't have any (published) guides on Mobafire. But I'm so excited for the New Karma. She was one of my first champions after Nasus and Orianna and I have always thought she had so much potential. I always enjoyed playing her against skillshot champions such as Ziggs or Morgana because she always came out on top in those lanes. At least in my experience.

I'm a bit worried about her new kit though. The damage from her Q sound great albeit it being a skillshot. However if it's anything like Morgana's it won't be much of a problem unless you're a master skillshotter. Not to mention I'm pretty sure the aoe damage will explode behind it (behind as in on your side of the shot) where your enemy won't be. But I could be wrong.

Her E once again still lacks any sort of damage without a mantra charge. :/ I hope that the cooldown on her ultimate isn't too long or the reduction from her AA and spells are significant.

I'm worried that she may be another Morgan…

...I've been here for years!

So today I played my first game in about 6 months, with maybe only a few sporadic games in the 4 months preceding. I really missed this game, but didn't have that much time to play. Also, I sold my windows machine to buy a used macbook which broke, so for a while I only had a Linux machine, thus I had to cope without my favorite game :(

Recently however, I bought a new HP; and although I don't like Windows 8, I have to say I am happy to be able to play again. I dual booted linux on my new machine to use for work (I am a developer).

It seems like some nice UI improvements have been made around the launcher and game client; also with the ushering in of S3, there seems to be changes to masteries and items. This will take some relearning.

Well anyways, time to hunt down my old favorite guides and see which ones have survived and have S3 updates. Hope to be playing more now and actually finish my voli guide. Though it seems I may need to make some changes to…

When I started playing LoL Karma was just released the same day. I bought her and Sona and she was the second champion I played and I instantly loved her, because she was elegant, she shielded and healed. (And when I was a noob I played all supports AP :D)

Later on I found

Played some more ranked yesterday and got two wins in a row! Now I'm up to six wins. The new league system seems to be more forgiving.

I hope people learn to ban Darius. Granted I got him, it could've gone horrible had the other team picked him up. Also, my strategy of feeding top lane and winning seems to be going swimmingly.

Bleeech I've been stuck in silver 4 now for a few weeks. I can't get out no matter how good I do as a player. I can have the most kills on the team and be carrying but then we lose for no reason then a teamfight. I usually mid [twisted fate]] top Pantheon, but I try not to ADC as I'm not very good at it. Any ideas how to get out of this purgatiorio no troll answers please.

First Day of tracking my progress in Season 3. Doing this primarily for myself to try to identify weaknesses in my gameplay, but to anyone also reading, I plan on going semi in-depth into every game I play from here on out. Usually don't have LolReplay up due to latency, but if I do I will use that as a tool.

Currently Gold V 66 LP

190/164 In SoloQ. Highest Elo was 1403, was around 1330 when new system kicked in, and had ~125 wins. Placed in Silver II, quickly got promotion, lost, got promotion again, dodged a game, got promotion again, and earned Silver I. Stayed under 50 pts for awhile, picked up J4 as a jungle, and quickly rose. Got to 90+ and started gaining less than 5 pts per win. Eventually got to my 5 game tier promotion. Started 2-0, then lost two in a row. Game 5 their top got super fed (I was supporting) but bot lane too stronk. Made Gold IV but went 1-4 and got demoted back to V.

Game 1: Jungle Jarvan IV (Purple Side)

Typical *****ing in team lobby, …

My friend tricked me into playing this game, and now I'm addicted. I've had a lot of bad matches, but I just had a few good matches and went 1/0/2 with Swain, 11/2/7 with Ahri, 7/0/5 with Sivir, and 4/2/10 with Lulu. I won't mention all my losses and 1/16/1 4/18/9 games, though :P

So far having a lot of fun, and I still have so much more to learn. Like, I really never know what lane I should be on and always have to ask, lol.
