Let's look at the state of our game. Every time a new champion is introduced, we all start jumping up and down because the concepts are fantastic, the abilities are cool and they are like nothing we've seen before...
Personally, I feel like Riot nails a champion when it comes to how strong they are, and then makes a few way too over powered, and then an occasional few just very ****py. I will use Darius as an example of being overpowered since release, and went through several hard nerfs to get him to where he is today. The second is Rengar. The recent nerfs to him were some of the biggest I have ever seen... For those of us who can't remember that week of hell when he first came out, I can assure you he was even stronger then than he is now. Even after those heavy nerfs he is still viable.
But what about Hecarim? He tends to be very overlooked by players, he's extremely fun to play, to play with (the really important part, this is a game after all,) and he's really balanced. Hecarim w…

Dr. Mundo: Well, it's over, he's gone.

Shaco: Yes, we shall, miss him.

Narrator: As time went by (2 weeks) Mintleaves was never heard from again. Though it is rumored that his Ghost wanders these halls.

So I just played my first five games on the new Twisted Treeline update. I wanted to wait for two of my team mates before I played my first game, but they've been too busying grinding elo for the new (and hideous) Janna skin. So, in the end I opted to just play some solo games. At four in the morning. Not a wise decision by any means. Anyway, here's what they looked like:



Now, I wasn't really sure what to expect. When I first started playing, I played 3v3 games almost exclusively. However, by level 20 or so, I was mainly playing 5v5's. Since then, I rarely ever ventured back to the Twisted Treeline. When I did tonight, it was strange. Not just because of the update, but because I've completely forgotten the dynamics of a 3v3 game. It's safe to say I struggled in that respect.

So, first all of, I must say the map looks beautiful. It's a great map and it's a joy to play on in that respect alone. The inclusion of the altars is a nice touch and adds an interesting dimension to the gam…

When I first tried Katarina before her rework, I couldn't use her at all. For some reason I just couldn't get her down right and I ended up being the weak link in any team. This is pitifully sad since Kat is actually one of the most deadly champs I've seen in the game through streams and various vids on her.

When they did her rework I tried her again, still I couldn't use her at all. I just didn't get how people were owning with her so hard. Yes she can be item dependent but most champs are. So, I left her alone for a while and focused on just improving my over all game play.

Recently I decide to try her again just for a change of pace and absolutely destroyed. It shocked me to the point I thought it was just a fluke so I did it again, and again, and again. She works so well for me now I was very happy I spent the IP to buy her so long ago even though I thought I wasted it on her due to my own playstyle just not meshing well.

Turns out that her skill cap is just a bit higher than mo…

So, after the original buff they gave here a few months back I tried her again and found she was a lot more viable as a champ in general and played her infrequently. I knew she had high damage potential and was never disappointed when I played her even if it ended in a loss. When I heard they nerfed her again due to AP Eve being severely OP (wouldn't know, never tried) I picked her up again to see if it affected the build I made for her and found it didn't hurt her in the slightest.

She is a very deadly very ganky and very smexy champ. I usually play her as a Top/Roamer so I sometimes push hard and take my tower ASAP so I can free myself up to roam around to mid or even sometimes bot to help out if they're having issues or we wana do a dive 4 man on them to secure domination there.

What always surprised me was her team fight presences, her ult is OP IMO, especially if you hit 3 or more champs with it... I could just sit in a team fight after that and do major sustained damage or focu…

So I've been trying various champions lately that I normally don't play, my standard meta is usually APC or Supports. I dabble in Jungle and Top Lane but it's by no means my best skill level.

Mundo isn't new to me but lately my skill level on champs I was never good with has gotten to the point where I've been trying them again. Today was one of those days where I researched, crafted my own build, and went on a literal rampage. I figured out that early game with his Q (cleaver throw) he can harass quite well and still be a little passive in the Laning Phase.

First game was a Nasus and I straight dominated him. With his regen and outright bruiser style of play I had to be a little more aggressive than I'm used to but it paid off in a big way.

Second game I played was a Jayce, now this was a lot of back and forth, he got me early but I stuck to my guns and had a pair of really good ganks early by Kha'Zix which eventually lead to Jayce just not able to burst me down or even harass effe…

It's time again, fellas! Mundo is free to play again and that means ... i just hit 4 million views on my Mundo guide. I always love the Mundo Season, where Noobs and Low-lvls come and visit the guide to improve their knowledge on a character that has caught their attention.
I am honored to recieve 100k views per day peope. Just honored and proud. Thank you Mundo Season.
Thank You

Ok, well this is all I have for my first blog... Post below suggestions or guestions for next weeks post!

The coding should work as soon as Elise is added to moba database.
Making this to add to my complete top lane guide.




Elise is a semi tanky AP semi assassin champion. The reason I have the semis in there is due to the fact that she does not excel at either, BUT she does both. Just because I say semi, that does not mean she cannot make them work BUT it takes a decent deal of knowledge of knowing when to be in each mode. The versatility of her kil allows her to excel in the top lane as she has poking abilities as well as the ability to dual enemies 1v1 as well. Her matchups are very good as well in laning phase BUT her lategame does require you to have a team that can engage for you.
