Rankup is the type of website where people believe their too good for and I can understand that. If you say the words "stats" to players, people start to think graphs and difficult information to understand. I completely understand that but Rankup is a little bit different. It's in my eyes, far more useful than any stats tool out there.

Rankup is a ranked dynamic stats tracking website, which is aimed to help identify weaknesses the player has. We allow the player to put in their summonername and then let them check whatever metric they would like to check to see how well they do within that metric. We added an average which allows a player to make sense and comprehend the information/stats which he has selected. This allows the player to understand how well he is doing versus the average person and therefore allows one to create his own conclusions about his ability to play League of Legends.



What you see is Dyrus's rankup profile which allows you to find out how he's been doing. …

Hello,

Just to add to another blog because I have lots that I wish to talk about as per always. So essentially people are starting to complain about the snowball changes to League of Legends and every year, you have people scared that League of Legends is going to go to ****. Here's the thing. Many and many of people wanted to change the game so it wasn't so long and it's true. The games were lasting a very long time on an average basis. The games were lasting 34 minute just because wave clearing and pushing towers were that hard. It wasn't a basis of skill at all. It was "I have a champion which can stop you from pushing but we know we aren't good enough to win and you guys are constantly snowballing."

What RIOT has done is "we're going to take of these nuances which slow you down" and that's really it. So straight up the changes to League means if you probably lose lane hard and allow the enemy match up to do what he wishes to your team, yea you are probably going to lose and you k…

Just some observations about some junglers that I've tried out since the start of preseason.

Tryndamere is still viable in the jungle even after the hot fix to Warlord's Bloodlust . I know because I did the whole thing with AP runes and masteries and still managed to contribute meaningfully to the game once I got some attack speed.

Since you no longer gain health except on crits on champions, you definitely lose more health on your first clear so you have to watch out of invades by junglers with executes like

League feels like complete **** now.

So I'm just playing Bloodborne, working on an online videogame portuguese store and eating like a pig.

Still not getting fat tho.
Life's pretty sweet. I kinda miss playing with some of the people here but I just can't bother with League right now, **** this game.

That is all.

To quote Garth "We fear change."

I've been playing since the middle of Season 2 and this Pre-Season has been the most disorienting one that I've experienced.

What do I buy? How to prioritize the new objectives? What Masteries work? Who to play? What happened to some of my standby champions? Which lane am I going to? Why is that "ADC" mid? Is all physical damage that bad if the games are going to end before the opposing team can itemize against you? WTF is up with towers being like tissue paper?

I could go on, but I'm sure a lot of you have had similar feelings and flogging them isn't going to accomplish much.

The changes are here. There will be more to come. And probably more after that.

I am going to stay out of ranked until things are a little less chaotic. That leaves up Normals or Draft Normals.

What I have been doing is trying out several different characters and tweaking masteries and build paths to get an idea of what works.

E.g. Master Yi has pretty good sustain…

Hi everybody!

My name is jokersprank aka nightray00 and I play since the end of season 2 but that's already enough about me. Today I want to discuss as you can already see: Keystone masteries. Why? Well, I had the urge to write about them and as well to have something to keep me sane in my examination period...

In general, I think that masteries have become this year more meaningful and are more than just powerful stats boosts. However, I'm troubled by some keystone masteries because some are being abused by certain champions and some will be abused in the near future.

Ferocity

The Ferocity tree is pretty much the old offensive tree but I think it's much more favoured towards AD champions than in previous seasons.

Warlord's Bloodlust

Critical strikes heal you for 15% of the damage dealt and grant you 20% increased attack speed for 4 seconds (2 second cooldown).

Thanks god, it's getting nerfed. On the PBE it only works on champions. That's a good thing because it's right now …

Hello.

Here's some kind of a jungle meta prediction blog. I'll post my own thoughts on the changes and how the jungle is going to work out. These are all predictions and nothing can be 100% confirmed during the pre-season. I'll also cover some champions that are going to be strong.


Jungle itemization:

Locket of the Iron Solari and Turbo Chemtank both went up in price and are not fit for jungle anymore I think. Those items should be taken by supports because they're too big money holes for junglers as they are now.

I feel like refillable potion should be a jungle starting item for almost everyone. Only start with 3 potions if you're not confident in being able to clear the jungle with only 2 potions. I wouldn't recommend upgrading the refillable potion because it takes too much money and it's not really needed.

Hunter's machete vs Talisman: Hunter's machete wins 100-0 in sustain. You want to take machete over Talisman for most of the champions because you will always end up gett…

Hey there FRIENDS, since I'm not only an incredible AD carry player but also a masterful genius at the videogame Legend League in general, I thought maybe you'd all like to see me vomit out some wisdom. All over the floor.


Stuff I think is strong:

Graves - Insanely high damage.
Lucian - His ult is practically 100% of a squishy's health at all levels, and he gets 30% CDR now.

More ***hats per capita than Washington D.C.

I hate muting people. But damned if haven't muted at least 4 people in the last 10 games or so, which is a lot of muting for me.

Literally whole teams griping about my play the instant anything goes wrong. What do you want me to do about the fact that you got your *** solo killed by your lane opponent while I was getting my second buff?

What do you me to do about the fact that you've gotten to half health within the first minute of laning phase Ahri and start pinging that you need help and *****ing about your jungler not helping you then die to the Lee Sin that ganks you while you are typing in chat about how I'm not doing anything? And then blame me for dying to Lee Sin? Really?! You are against an Ezreal, stay behind minions to minimize his Q poke and consider that he might decide to shoot you with

This is by no means a comprehensive list, however they are at least some of the things you should think about before deciding whether or not you are in a position to all in a particular target.

-Check your target's level
-Check their experience
-Check their items. How many health/mana potions do they have? Do they have more items than you?
-How many minions are present. Are there more of your minions than your minions? Or the other way around.
-Do they have any summoner spells up?
-Where is the enemy jungler?
-What abilities have they used recently?
-Do any of their items give them a shield that pop when they take a burst of damage? Sterak's Gage or Hexdrinker /
