I know it has been a while since I was last on here and updated my profile and what not. Well that is because I have been hard at working making a new YouTube show and channel called kills of the week. This is where we take awesome kills clips and put them all together to bring you the most epic kills. It is still a work in progress. However, it is coming along greatly. Take a look at our first week http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHyRJfQ035k&feature=plcp right here. If you like subscribe and like also comment and submit your game footage for a chance to be on our kills of the week episode.

Well,

I guess this post serves as a karthatic medium for me, so bare with me if my point of view is very subjective and personal.

This out of the way I would like to speak about the "other meta" in LOL, not gameplay wise but community wise.

I had a short break of playing LOL regularly as I could not stand the constant bashing and harrassing of the players any more. I found out that I myself get quite aggressive when people misbehave in chat and you yourself have to be the better man, always... The so often used term "toxic" is quite fitting for this environment.
So I took a break and found out that 2 of my friends were interested in playing LOL and asked me, if I would like to join them for a few matches to share some of my experience (I am by no means a very successful player, and as I usually play support or jungle, I rather pull the strings in the background so the carrys can shine);

I agreed and we played about 30 matches in the past 2 weeks so far. What I experienced when …

Sort of a first time champ post but not really first time playing her.

So, here's a champ which is very rarely played in any level but has a rather interesting kit. Basically a walking AoE CC/Slow machine with some ok damage burst but minimal sustain. Your function is be a walking meat-shield with 100% AoE Slows.

Her initiate isn't top tier but it's definitely strong; with a quick Q W E combo into a small group or add the R at the end for a full on engage as the initiator of a team-fight she should be built as a HP Tank with augmented AP/CDR items. But since your W scales off Max HP it's going to be the majority of your damage through out the game.

Running Merc Treads, Rod of Ages, Mogs, WotA or Zeke's Herald (depending on who's carrying ADC or APC), Soul Shroud and BV. Swapping Soul Shroud for Guardian Angel for AD heavy enemy team comp.

Her major problem is late game, she has very little damage late game even though her early/mid is slightly high. So she's very team player specif…

I admit. This one makes me feel a little sorry for the other team. We had a legendary Rengar by fifteen minutes and I had more farm than their top and bot combined and like 4 assists from

Tier 1: Master Yi, Diana,

So, I don't know what everyone else's experiences are like but when the system went into effect before I even knew about it I saw an extreme change in how players addressed one another. At first I thought I was just getting lucky and found a good batch of summoners to run normals and ais. About 5 games into the new patch someone complemented me after the game and said he had honored me. After figuring it out I paid closer attention and sure enough I haven't run into more than a handful of straight up trolls.

Now I'm curious, does anyone else have this same situation going or am I just out on a limb on my own here?

Hello Sumonners!

I've been working on some guides now, an Ashe guide an a Master Yiguide but i'm probably going to delete it because it sucks. Anyway, i have a question. I found out how BBCoding works, an want to use it in my Ashe guide so i can finally update it, but i don't know how to type [ or ] on a mac and it's very annoying to keep copy and pasting it. Does any1 know how to type it on a Mac?

Greetings, Mage Legend

Ok so the unexpected (at least for me) happened yesterday. TSM was eliminated. Please note that I didn't say TSM was eliminated by Azubu F I just said TSM was eliminated. I was expecting Dyrus to have a hard time (Damn Jayce counters almost everyone) but I have to admit that TSM was a bit nervous or something. It wasn't the TSM we all know, you know regi picking Gragas and making more explosions than a stallone movie. Anyway good job azubu frost on the next round I hope you can beat the one who stands after CLG EU VS WE. As for the other leg, I am seeing M5 proceeding as they seem more fresh and this can be a huge hurdle in the mentality of Taipei Assassins.

Please stop trying to use math to justify EVERYTHING

Math is only a tool for verification it's NEVER a tool for determining what's better or worse.

Reason?

Because the game isn't static.

Math is good, yes. It's good for checking out simple stat comparisons, cost-efficiency comparisons, and damage calculations.

I can check how much time it takes a gp5 item to become efficient with math.
That's one clear example of the proper usage of math.

However, people should never rely on sole math to solve everything.

You almost always cannot consider every single factor in the game.

EG:
Under what circumstance will you be attacking a champion straight on 1on1 and then dying?

In lower levels of play, yes.
Higher levels? Nope.

That's one reason as to why you don't build items for flat-on dps. You cannot factor in every single move the enemy will do. Will he kite you around? Will he use his ability to reposition himself?

Game flow is also another factor to be considered.

Should I rush a B…

Hi blackguy here, making a post about elo hell. I been and gotten out of elo hell myself and i want to help other get out of it also. this are the things you need to do...
1. Play positions that you know you can play and will most likely win in.

2. If someone says they call mid dont be an ******** and say no im mid im first pick. This will almost always make you lose.

3. Support your team and try to boost their self esteem.(you never want a teammate thinking you cant win and start to troll).

4. NEVER overextend or towerdive. Trading is not a way to win in lane. A kill for you is not worth a death for you.

5. Try to call mia's as much as possible, it will save you and your team alot of deaths.

6. Dont expect to have mia's call on other lanes. Most people in elo hell wont call mia.
