Matchups:

Top: Riven vs Warwick
Middle: Zilean vs Brand
Bottom: Caitlyn and Soraka vs Ezreal and Taric
Jungle: Nocturne vs Fiddlesticks

Result: Defeat (forgot to take a screenshot)

Sigh. Same guy who trolled my last game as Twitch got in my game again as Caitlyn. His pick gave me a slight shimmer of hope but his play was pretty much identical to last game.

First blood happened top lane as I took out Warwick by myself at level 2. I learned alot since my last Warwick matchup as Riven and completely dominated him this game, getting twice his creep kills and killing him twice before the laning phase ended.

Mid lane did 'alright' at the start, picking up a kill after Nocturne came for a gank, but that advantage soon came to an end as Zilean died to Brand over and over and over.

Bottom lane... oh bottom lane. Bottom lane went 0-12 within 15 minutes of the game. 0-16 if you count Nocturne coming to 'help' them and dying as well.

Bottom and mid lane got fed so hard there was l…

Top: Gangplank vs Riven

Bottom: Twitch and Sona vs Kog'Maw and Soraka
Jungle: Cho'Gath vs Warwick

Result:




So this game started off with our 4th pick instalocking Twitch. Now I have seen some good Twitches so I didn't lose all hope yet.

This game was an absolute nightmare. I carried SO SO SO HARD. I got first blood top and ganked Riven another 4-5 times with 3 succesful kills within the first 10 minutes. Gangplank still ended up getting absolutely destroyed by Riven.

Mid lane, our Xerath wasn't really doing much, Vladimir was free to roam whenever he pleased and kept diving bottom lane who were already getting stomped, again, despite my numerous ganks. Though since Twich was intentionally trolling us, ganking bottom was pretty much impossible as I just can't 2v1 a Kog'Maw and Soraka and when I did get close to killing them, Vladimir would show up while Xerath was busy picking his nose middle.

My only 2 deaths this game was where I …

Matchups:

Top: Gangplank vs Rumble
Middle: Brand vs Kassadin
Bottom: Soraka and Graves vs Taric and Ashe
Jungle: Trundle vs Nocturne

Result:




Can't say much about this game, didn't really pay too much attention what was happening as it was all happening top and mid lane and bottom was just a farm off mostly.

Basically Gangplank killed everyone and everything that dared cross his path and bottom was pretty hard in our favor as well as soon as we hit level 6.

From there it was just a huge steamroll with Gangplank leading the charge, still killing everyone.
To sum it all up, we all just hopped on Gangplank's shoulders and enjoyed the ride.


CURRENT ELO: 1442
WIN-LOSS: 58-52

Hi guys, I feel that this is a recurring theme that has been brought up to me time and time again, and there are always people who want to know how I feel about the subject since I don't always agree with what is 'Commonly accepted" yet are a very successful and strong player using my own preferred methods.

So the question is, if Duff could have it, "Duff's way," every single game, and get to decide what his team comp looked like, what would his ideal team compositions be?

This is both a hard and a simple question to answer, so please, consider this blog an eternal work in progress. I will continue to update this as I go.

Over time I will add more champions and more explanations as to why these champions do what they do well, and why I -personally prefer- these champs to other champs.

Not to sound like an ******* or something. But really, the name of this genre is not MOBA, it is ****ing ARTS!

To make this clear:

ARTS = Action real time strategy.

MOBA = Multiplayer online battle arena.

This entire genre kinda spawned and became popular from the game Warcraft 3. An RTS. It took the more action focused things from this game(mostly the micro.) and made it into DOTA. Hence the name. Action RTS.

MOBA on the other hand kinda fits also. Only thing it fits into so many other game types. I could say that most FPS's is a MOBA, because it fits onto the description. Same goes for games like Wow arena and bloodlince champions.

So for the love of god stop calling these games MOBA's and start calling them ARTS's.

Thank you. hugs and kisses, your love potatisfarfar.

Just as a little insight into the situation, Guinsoo posted on the US forums and twitter a while ago (since he doesn't post on the EU at all - I might get some of this wrong, but from a collection of tweets and posts, I've found a lot of it out myself) about a few jungle changes/reworks that will be coming in soon.
Edit: Here's a link to some of the stuff caught on his twitter. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=223225&d=1310934858

Basically, to sum it up -
1. Reduces effectiveness of counter-jungling
2. Decreases camp respawn times, but decreases XP gained
3. Red buff no longer slows, but gives you a speed boost
4. Creep camps hit lower, making jungling completely sustainable for almost all champions
5. Allow lower level players to be able to jungle without runes/masteries
6. Allow more champions to be able to jungle
7. Makes Smite 'no longer essential' for junglers

Now, I'm COMPLETELY against ALL of these changes, with the exception being possibly numbe…

Oh man I got carried hard this game.

Never laned against Warwick as Riven before so didn't really know how to approach it rune/mastery/build wise. Decided to go tanky as it turned out we were going to need it.

First blood happened top lane as Shyvana ganked top twice, we picked up the kill the second time as Warwick had pushed all the way to my tower and had no way to escape.
From there the lane was pretty even, I could never really go agressive with his sustain being so high and the threat of his ult/ignite combo.
I ended up dying twice in lane cause of Udyr ganks (grrr purple side top lane)

Mid seemed to be even, traded a few kills here and there, nothing special.

Bottom lane however was getting stomped pretty hard and Vayne was getting pretty big and scary, ended up being a real pain too.

Hey there stranger!

Hello,
My name is Bryan, also known as "Obtains".
I'd say I've been around for quite some time in the MobaFire community.
At first I used to just look through site for guides and builds and decided that I should make a guide to actually contribute to the site instead of just taking. So I made one, Akali: The Epitome Of An Assassin.. Now before it did not look anything like that at all. It was had a very "amatuer-ish" look to it, so I finally decided to lurk in the forums in hope for some advice. Alas, after posting in random threads, I met jhoijhoi she had created a "I Will Review Your Guide" Thread, and immediately posted in it asking for advice, I can not say how much she has helped me improve my guide, and soon after recommending it along with wRATHofVulcan (Will fix later).

Now I'm here to attempt to help others as quite a few have done for me, (PsiGuard<3).
Although, I haven't been chatting much, I will try to help through my busy schedule.

Greetings fellow MobaFirites! This blog will be about how to write a good paragraph for your novel, or story. We've all had those days when "Harry hit Jennifer", and when you read back over it you think to yourself, "Wow, that was written so badly, wth was I smoking". I know sometimes I read an old paragraph and go all OCD with my need to "fix" it up. So I thought I'd share with you all my tips and tricks to writing a good paragraph :)

First you want to start off with an idea. For the sake of this blog, say you're writing about a young man of noble blood (but he doesn't know it!) and the genre is fantasy. He's currently in a duel with his arch nemesis, who is also noble born (and PLOT TWIST, they're brothers!!!) and slightly better at swordplay.

Good guy: Radyr Movelique
Bad guy: Jawn Harkson

So at the moment, you've got something like:


It's okay, we can work with this, it's fixable, I swear.

We need to look at this sentence and see what we can…
