So lately I've been playing a lot of ranked again (around 1700) well
to start with I don't play [[Graves myself but what I've witnessed is:

1. Graves is in my team sucks balls.
2. Graves is in their team when I am not botlane, not AD nor support. Gets fed like hell.
3.

Hello everyone,

My Nautilus build has just been completely and published, please let me know what you think of it. I have to rework some items on the Shyvana build a bit, I found a few things I like differently on her. Also the Nocturne guide will be scrapped and reworked. It is far outdated.

Enjoy

Vayne is a ranged carry that scales VERY HARD into late game. Vayne is more of a counter-pick then a generic top lane pick, but if you are able to use her as a counter you will be able to use her scaling from the lane to carry late game. Vayne has abilities needed to keep champions off of her and chase after enemies she needs to. She is like poppy in the regard of make it through laning phase doing well and have a good advantage for the rest of the game.

Passive: Night Hunter- Vayne ruthlessly hunts evil-doers. She gains 30 Movement Speed when moving toward nearby enemy champions.
This skill allows you to chase down enemies really well.

Q:

It would seem I'm always stuck in the jungle although I prefer mid. I'm ok with this though so from now on I will probably be playing more jungle in normals as well. If I am not jungling I will most likely be playing mid as Akali as I find her to do really well against most mids. I have a friend who will be playing top when we duo que and if he can't he'll probably be jungling while I do mid or support. At all cost I will not be AD carry since I'm terrible with them. If my friend ever wants to jungle and someone has called mid I will probably take top.

My junglers: Nocturne,

The sun is shining this glorious afternoon, and i've just logged on to see that the second build in the simple series, A Simple Support Taric has been voted up four times since i published it about ten hours ago! That's always a nice boost in the morning. =)

More than anything, this post is meant to serve as simply and introduction; both for my guides to anybody who many be reading them, and also myself to the blog feature on Mobafire. So in that regard, i'm Cyanide2x4, and i really enjoy creating guides on this site. I'm currently trapped in ELO hell (aren't we all?), but i like to think i can hold my own around a level of about 1400-1500. That being said, i build guides for this level of play and lower; a simple layout, basic strategies, and for the most part, a simple build. That's not to say i don't like to include a little bit of... questionable items. For example, i love building a Trinity Force on Nautilus top lane! :D

So yeah, by all means message me with suggestions as to …

First champion I ever played in league of legends Ftw.


Olaf is a tanky-Dps Anticarry. His goal on a team is to Rambo into the enemy team and kill their carries. He has amazing laning abilities capable of wrecking most solo tops. Olaf has the ability to spam true damage in lane essentially Darius Ulting you every-time you come close to him (If you like playing darius, I think you would like olaf). Olaf has the power to kill even the most fed of enemy squishies with his ultimate.

Hey guys,
what's up? I am planning to buy Rumble as I played him a bit this week and it worked out pretty well for me. But while playing Rumble, a few questions came up my mind.

First question is: What should I do against strong laners like Irelia or

This will serve as my intro and provide some general info.

- Top is an isolated lane where you're one on one, left to farm for nearly the entire early game and well into mid game in most cases. It's your job to stay top and farm and hopefully prevent your lane opponent from doing the same.

- Top is an easy lane to gank, the better CS you have the more pushed you are. You can expect a lot of pressure from the enemy jungler when you're doing good, and as a downside when you're so pushed from out CS'ing you can expect little to no help from your jungler in most cases. It's your job to be weary of the junglers position and to prevent yourself from being ganked.

- Top is on the opposite side of the map of Dragon you're going to be cut off from a lot of the early game action unless you're Shen, Pantheon or brought Teleport. Your primary objectives in range are countering enemy red on blue team when able, and vise versa. Same goes for protecting these buffs from invasions.

- Top ca…

After failing in my attempt to sleep I've decided to finally come on here and start something I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm going to be writing about my knowledge of solo top and match ups for different champions as well as some helpful solo top information in general.

In my early days of League when I frequently looked at guides for new champions I had bought I always thought the guides lacked key info on good and bad match ups. While it may be tedious to do so and it's something one can learn from experience it never hurts to have someone elses opinion and thoughts.

I'm not a high elo player and actually don't even play ranked for my own reasons(yet). However I play top lane primarily and I've been playing MOBAs for a couple years now. Everything I do write on will be my opinion and should not be taken as fact but rather taken into consideration. Feed back will be welcomed especially since this will be my first attempt at anything like this.

So, um here's a mini guide for those who don't know what to do with AP Mids

AP Mids with Mana:


Runes:
MPen Marks / MR marks - depending on ur playstyle as the runes suggest
Vitality seals - squishy casters who aren't planning to build RoA
Mana Regen seals - Mana heavy champs (generally mix in a bit of these with vitality seals
AP/lvl seals - when you opt for late game
AP/lvl glyphs - most times
MR glyphs - Against gay laner
Flat AP quints - most times
MR Quints - Against gay laner

Masteries

21/0/9 - 90%
21/9/0 - Against gay as hell laner

Items
Start boots 3
Get a Doran's Ring or two

If playing a relatively close range champ - get Kage's
If playing an autoattack-after-skill champ (eg: tf, fizz) - get Sheen (DON'T GET ON CHAMPS WHO DON'T NEED IT)
If playing Ryze (or possibly Kass) - get tear
If playing late game heroes (eg: Karthus) - get RoA (DONT GET IT ON CHAMPS WHO DONT NEED IT. MY LARGEST PET PEEVE)
If against high burst champs - Get abyssal
If going fine - get Rabadon's
If n…
