Game 6: Jarvan IV Jungle (Blue Side)

Started off well personally, got clean up kills, started 5/0/1. Decided to build damage, top lane Vlad had no damage. Ryze got beat hard mid by Panth, couldn't gank bot they were pushing too hard. Graves did well, but kept overextending and getting caught. They won a 4v5 team fight cuz Nid got caught out (Support Nidalee bad). They got Baron, took inhib, got baron again. Ended up winning that fight, but they just came again and ended.
First time getting really fed and building damage, but we just didn't have enough across the board.

End Result: Defeat -17 LP 81->64 6/5/8 193/167

Game 7: Vi Jungle (Purple Side)

First game Vi, started off really well, but then derped, got way too aggressive. Need to recognize who I am diving and if it is possible to kill and get away. One instance I dove Twitch under tower, but got locked up by Taric/Swain and died. 3/1/3 turned into 5/8/5, horrible turn of events. Other team pushed so …

Sup dudes and girldudes.

So I recently played a Kayle game, were I originally thought I was going mid, but ended up top. I was up against Kha'Zix, and it went horrible. Two kills later he went away roaming. I kept on farming refusing to participate in fights. I looked at the scoreboard and I was then the most farmed player with a good level advantage aswell. So, I decided to join my friends again, who had lost around five fights by now, and we stomped em. I went from 0/2 to 8/2 in just a few fights. We completely turned the tables and won the game on 30 mins.

So my question to you, is it okay to not participate in fights if you're trying to build up an advantage?

So, I've just noticed how sad it was for Riot to not keep Urf, the Manatee.

Just because he was an April Fool's joke, doesn't mean they have to take him out of the game completely (with the occasional appearance in a couple of skins). They should've just kept him as a champion and just not make him so bad. Especially his passive lol.

Like you know, Lee Sin. He wasn't actually blind when he was released, but he was ACTUALLY released, unlike our dearest Urf.

Sad. Just sad.

I hope Riot doesn't do something so disappointing to their fans this coming April Fools.

Yea, that's it.

P.S. BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU READ ON THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEBSITE IN THE UPCOMING COUPLE OF DAYS :)

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.
