After the completion of my Solo Queue Adventures Builds thing, I started up my second solo queue game. I got duped into support Yorick, once again. But it was ok, the plan was for Master Yi to solo top (apparently was going to build beefy),

MY SEXY NEW DESKTOP ARRIVED TODAY~. It's a Dell 990, specs are pretty good imo.

Hey guys, I'm going to talk about Troll Storms today.

Recently, a few of my Mobafire buddies have had their guides brought down greatly. Although I knew troll storms existed, I never knew exactly how powerful it affected them.

I'll start off with Taneren. Met him recently on Mobafire, and he gave me great feedback on my Xerath guide that definitely helped me improve. His Caitlyn guide was at 91%! And the thing about that was, that he ACTUALLY DESERVES IT. His guide was fantastic, and it blew my mind off. Anyone can tell it was obviously placed a lot of effort into it, and it just seems to upset me that yesterday it was on the top of the "Popular Last 30 Days" section, and today it's near the bottom of it. His guide probably received about 6 troll down voters. They left no feedback, and because it exceeded the 20 comment required to vote mark, they down-voted away. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS? THIS HAS LEFT ME VERY FRUSTRATED. MY GUIDE IS NOW AT THE TOP OF THE POPULAR LAST 30 DAYS SECTION…

I have no time to update my guide, so I decided to archive it. Most of infomation in it is still good, but I don't think I'll be able update it if a huge change comes. So until I can find some more time to work on it, it will remain archived. Xin Zhao, Bane of Squishies For anyone who is looking for my guide, just click on the link.

Introduction: Due to recent nerfs in her power by mysterious force from above, Evelynn was no good for anything but scouting, still as cunning she made a plan how to pay the bills with scouting - doing the shows where she presents her work, and you just entered one, ladies and gentleman, you are presented with the most disrespected, humiliated and underrated lady of Valoran, Evelynn!

*Suddenly a great applause is heard as out of nowhere on the scene steps Evelynn in her tango outfit, taking the speaker as she yells out*

Evelynn: Hello there, Noxus! How are ya?!

*The crowd applauds some more before calming down as Evelynn continues*

Evelynn: Oh yea..you ****ers came on a good night, good night! Tonight, we will show that I am not the only one humiliated here..that I am not the only one who makes mistakes, and that I am certainly THE only one to blame!

So guys, you know that **** blond hair we call Lux? *the applause is heard in recognition of the name* Thank you, thank you- so, let…

First of all, I apologize for being out of action for such a long period of time. My entire future kinda counted on the past few weeks and I figured wasting it on MOBAfire wasn't quite worth the decades of anguish and sorrow. Fortunately, I succeeded in finals week and will still be with you guys for at least another 5 months! Anyways, Lets get on to it. I noticed a lot of tier 1 / tier 2 switches. The only one to rise out of tier 3 was Jarvan. He makes an amazing non-sustain support, and his jungle isnt half bad either. On the other side, the only one to fall to tier 3 was renekton. I just don't find him good enough for tier 2 anymore.

Maokai - His ganks are terrifying, and anyone who disagrees should try playing against one. He has one of the longest range reliable CCs from the jungle, and he can follow it up with a pretty reliable combo as well. Plus, with the change to jungles making it harder to carry, it allows maokai to do his thing and quasi-support / carry much better.

Vay…

Well after I finish up the story I am currently writing, and thanks to the hundreds of ideas I have bouncing in my head I would like to hear what ya'all would enjoy to ready.

Here is what I got cooking

More Warhammer 40k fiction
Warhammer fiction
League of Legends fiction
Dead Space fiction
Armored Core fiction

Medieval Fantasy fiction
(Possible squeal of this taking place in later medieval times.)
(Planned) Modern fantasy fiction x2

Fantasy world

That’s all I got as of right now. I probaly have more, but have probaly forgotten them. Anyways feel free to voice your opinion.

Please, for the love of god, if you are making a guide that is something like AD Malzahar, AP Garen, Mana-Mundo, etc. please file it under "Humor" guides. I do not want to see something that... awkward, getting into the top 10 anytime soon. It makes the site as a whole look really stupid.

Thank you. :D

Does anyone have a good lee sin build? I just bought him and I am not quite sure how to build. I realize that he is tanky dps champ, but I am undecided on how to build. I was thinking, Doran's Blade, Beserker's Greaves, Giant's Belt, Phantom Dancer, Atma's Impaler, Warmog's, and Infinity Edge. Please tell me if this is good or needs to be modified. Thanks! :]

So recently my friend brought up something quite interesting to me: THERE IS A RANGE IN BETWEEN RANKS THAT YOU MUST PASS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A DIFFERENT RANKING STATUS. Currently, I'm "stuck" in the borderline between bronze and silver (1375-1385). It's what he calls the "Ultimate Test". Get passed the borderline and you are eligible to enter the new league ranking you belong in.

Obviously this is a big deal in my opinion. This border line is fricken SCARY . I went on a win streak and brought myself up about 70 ELO. Then I lost one (my fault) and won one. The borderline isn't something taken lightly. He also told me in the borderline, you verse people of a much higher level. In consequences, he was right. Riot put me up against much tougher opponents, and I didn't take it very seriously. I ended up feeding (I also had a semi-troll which made another teammate a FULL troll), and lost that one ranked game. I had to win another to make up for it, and I noticed quite the difference. I thi…
