MOBAFire Blog Feed

Welcome! To Taggrin's Blog! I'm not sure what I'm going to write about just yet, but count on at least ELO journeys and tier list updates to be here. I will probably end up writing about other stuff, probably even non-LoL stuff, but we shall see. For now, I will post one of my smurf games with some MOBA boys that I carried... Me and Winter challenged each other to a kill battle (note that this was AFTER champ select so he knew I was yi) and it was close till the very end when I just destroyed kids and vlad sat back and watched. Enjoy!

Well, this is will mark the day I lose my blogging virginity.
I'm glad to have given it to MOBAfire.
I have made a fair amount of friends here, as well as some really good works of art(guides).
I'm glad to have finally gotten a guide to the #1 position, and I'm glad it was for someone I see myself playing a lot.

Jarvan IV was the first champion I wrote a guide for... and wrote one for nearly every other newly released champion after.
I'm loving most of the responses I'm getting on my Riven guide, some are a little infuriating, but I know I can't please everyone's playstyle.

Anyway, a little about myself for anyone interested:

My name is Devin, I am a male living in the U.S.A.
I am 19 years old, and am addicted to LoL.
I used to be an avid Yu-Gi-Oh player as well. I don't play many other games, so if you have any you want to share with me, I'll try it out.

Prologue

In this post I will discuss all the attributes a hero will have in my game. Most of these attributes will be pretty straightforward and will not require a lot of explanation, however if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask them in the comments below.

Affiliation

Heroes can either have an affiliation or none. One team plays on behalf of the kingdom of Insomnia (yes I know its a weird name, me and my friends came up with it as a funny idea and I got used to it; I welcome all creative suggestions.) and the other team plays on behalf of Shadûz. Teams can only choose the heroes who belong to their side. There are also heroes around who have no affiliation so they can be played by both sides. However, these heroes can only be picked once!

Elements

Each hero is classified according to an element, the elements are: Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Void. Heroes can also be classified by multiple elements but I will discuss that later on. Each element has a damage modifier accord…

Here's my thoughts on Skarner, and why I myself haven't put him in tier 1 yet. He belongs in low tier 2 or high tier 3 at best. He's a really good CHAMPION, and a pretty good pick, but he's an average (or slightly above average) jungler, I guess similar to Amumu, in that respect. Here's why. -

He has fast clear times - sure (please note - only if he has his blue, he's extremely prone to early invasions, without it he's just above average at best), but I feel his early game survivability and mana in the jungle are a little ridiculous. I've tried a multitude of routes, and feel it's the same story everywhere.

He basically feels like an Udyr that's considerably worse
Same ganking style (run up and hit)
Same jungling style (spam abilities and rely on blue early on)
Worse speeds
Worse sustainability
Worse survivability
Worse counter jungling
Worse answer to counter jungling
Worse ganks
Less flexible
Less of a dragon threat

He is permanently on low health in his jungle - whatever skill yo…

Well, I think I'm going to keep a blog, of sorts, of some of the shifts in the jungling scene (buffs/nerfs/new champions/etc), some titbits of information, and hopefully a lot more.

I doubt it will be popular, but I'll try!

Since the blog system was released today or something, there's not that much to post about, but hey, I'll try anyway.

Shyvana -
The verdict is, she's basically Master Yi with better ganks and worse counter jungling. Yi's Q is incredible for counter jungling, but Shyvana's Dragon form and W are just crazy ganking abilities, not to mention her burst on Q.

She's pretty decent, and if she ends up being a good champion, she'll see some use. Her average jungling isn't going to hold her back. Not sure about how she is solo top, I hear she's strong there, but whatever, I never solo top so don't quote me on that.

First thing:
KNIT MYSELF A SWEATER (which, according to Psiguard, is weird xD)
this sweater, in fact (except I'm going to make mine green :D):



Why, you ask? because there's nothing like wearing something and being able to say you made it yourself, besides I want to prove to myself I can. I've been knitting for more than 5 years now...& in that time I have made 2 felted purses, a pile of wristwarmers (in pairs ofc), a couple scarves (I don't like making scarves much), a few hats, & several other things...but NO SWEATERS (other than the baby sweater I'm working on).



(my first felted bag)

This may seem strange as sweaters appear to be what non-knitters consider the quintessential "thing to knit"....or maybe that was socks (which I attempted to knit several years ago)...

In other news:
-the textless sigs are taking a short break
-Yum chai tea
-Is now officially on THB :D

Hello there.

I think i covered all i wanted to cover on the topic of MOBAFire. Now i am starting to cover the update on my guides.

Finaly i have some spare time @ work so i can run tests from here and also need to transfer fiew .docs to my PC @ Work with the guide descriptions.

Main Prio is ofc
- Warwick
- Master Yi

Next i think i will go non standard and skip irelia for ending up the Malphite build.

I am considering taking down Ezreal and Zilean builds permanently.

Ok so back to work :)

So Mobafire's got a blog now? cool. so anyway, I'm Mastajdog. I'm on the U.S. Servers, and I'm level 30. i plan on starting ranked soon. My mains are evelyn (DOMINION ONLY) nasus, amumu, cho'gath, and i'm starting as sion. SO... Anybody else being stalked by dufftime? If you feel like looking at any of my builds, just keep in mind that i took advice from chaotic bliss. I don't play champs entirely normal, since that's easially countered. however, don't expect stuff like AP GAREN. just to clarify. but i don't take you shalt play this champ with this item. there are some exceptions, such as ryali's on vlad and roa on singed or rageblade/gunblade on jax. but ohter than that, expect some randomness. thanks for stopping by.

Hello all!
Noticed there was a new blog function and it seemed pretty cool, so I'ma post one now. :P
Nothing much to say...
Anyways, I'm going to take a break from LoL right now; Might be short, might be long, I'm not sure.

If you're interested, feel free to add me in game (RosePhoenix).

Gl & Hf with your games. C;

Dear Summoners,

I am GrandmasterD (or Nick, whatever you prefer) and I figured I should make use of this new blog concept. I figured I did not have a lot to talk about as my life is not that interesting but I thought about something I could write about even though it is not really contributing to this wonderful community.

First, I will tell you a little something about me. I am a 19 year old Mathematics and Physics student at the Utrecht University and I'm an avid gamer. I play League of Legends a lot, I often find myself still playing at 2:30 am while I know I really shouldn't do that. Also, I am a programmer and really into game design. This brings me to the actual purpose of my blog.

Currently I am working on a game similar to League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth and Defense of the Ancients. The current title I'm going with is "Swords of Darkness" but I welcome all suggestions. One of the most fun things to do seemed to be designing heroes (or champions whatever you like to call …
