1. Fnatic (-)
2. Origen (+1)
3. H2K (-1)
4. Giants (+2)
5. Elements (+3)
6. Roccat (+4)
7. SK Gaming (-)
8. Gambit (-3)
9. Unicorns of Love (-4)
10. Copenhagen Wolves (-1)


Things are super confusing in Europe after Week 5 of the EU LCS. I'll say it right now, ranking these teams after such a week was really hard. You may not agree with some of my choices but I'll try to elaborate on them as best as I can. The first thing that is certain is that Unicorns of Love are not looking good at all. They are stagnating. Unlike last split they aren't showing much diversity or improvement.

Gambit also suffered a heavy 0-2 this week but in their defense, they had a really tough schedule facing 2 of the top teams in Europe at the moment. Not to mention they had a really close and solid game vs Fnatic. Still, a loss is a loss and an 0-2 is an 0-2. Roccat and Elements had a big week as they won both of their matches so they rightfully move up the rankings. SK Gaming won only 1 game …

If sniping using Kog'maw,Nidalee or Xerath don't rush aim carefully if you notice him swaying through minions don't let him pass it make it your advantage observe your target carefully the SNIPE! done your target is assasinated [quick tip: if the target is close to a wall aim your target closer to the wall to apply pressure to your enemy target] -Arc

Kassadin is one of the few champs I feel comfortable taking Mid Lane and having a decent chance of doing well, if not in lane, then at least through roaming to other lanes.

I've been playing him off an on even before his most recent re-work. I've been called on to do mid duties more of late so I've dusted him off to try and terrorize the Rift.

It is hard to described the differences in before an after the most recent rework. His mobility is definitely lower. His ultimate feels clunkier. It is harder to get in position to insta-gib someone and his chase potential while still good, is definitely diminished.

Damage-wise his ultimate feels relatively anemic since it scales off mana and besides Rod of Ages and possibly

I randomly got Gnar in an ARAM and had a load of fun with him so I decided to start running him on the Rift.

I'll likely have more to say about Gnar as time goes on, but this is just my initial impression of the few match-ups that I have faced.

Akali - Not a fan of this match-up. At 21-9-0 with MR glyphs, she chunks you for a one bar of health every time she hits you with a

Lately on League, I have been playing LOTS and LOTS of games. So far, I've done awesome (DURR!) but others are not so good and really do crazy ****. A couple games ago, an enemy posted this little post:

[All](insert username here)(Vayne): Dude u such ******* n00bs go eat some docks man
[All](insert username here)(Vayne): I'm reporting you for trolling

AN ENEMY HAS BEEN SLAIN!

[All](insert username here)(Vayne): ARE U SERIOUS U GUYS SUCK I'M REPORTING YOU GUYS FOR TROLLINNG!!!11!

(This is about as close as I could get to exact)

And much more people do it too! (Well i don't want to put them or else i'll get tl;dr) So? Are people always ragers? Reporting for no reason whatsoever? Are they always intentionally feeding (XD lol sorry person you were)? Let me know some stupid things summoners say. If you do, put in the title: STUPID THINGS PEOPLE SAY ON LEAGUE. Thanks for reading this!

DID YOU KNOW...

If you have a skin that has sunglasses, such as pool party renekton, you actually have a passive on! The passive is used to block damage taken by Leona by 1% (well, it's kind of useless...) because Leona has attacks that use sunlight, and you have some bad-as shades that block sunlight!

HMMM, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE RITO.

so if you have skins with sunglasses or shades, you have this passive! (The 1% can matter someday...)

WARNING: THIS DOES NOT REALLY CONTAIN STUFF TO HELP YOU GO FROM n00b TO PRO!!!

Why, hello there! Do you want to hear the story of me going from a n00b to a Master Ranked Pro? Well, i hope you do!



ONCE IN A SR MATCH, I WAS KILLED FOR THE 21st TIME.

My teemo said,
"DUDE YOU ARE SUCH A n00b, BOI!"
And I Said,
"plz halp meh sempai i such n00b very rekt"
And he said,
"ok i'll help ya, (chuckle) use your super powers. Like Super-Croc."
And I Said,
"Ok"
He Laughed Until I Went Top and Rekt Some Champs, and Then He Was Like,
"WOW HOW U DO DAT DATS SO SWAG!!!!11111111111111!!111!!"
And I Said,
"Lol i used my powers now i'm a Ranked Master Pro"
And i got so much ip and exp and honor i turned from lvl 1 to lvl 30 in 30 seconds because i was epic and used my croc powers.

That's how you go from n00b to Pro in 30 Seconds, people. It really works! (Don't mind the disclaimer at the beginning it means nothing!)

"Natsu's Power Rankings - Week 2"

I'll go with this title and I'll change the number of the week as I go along. Seems alright. So let's get to the power rankings. If you don't know how I rate the teams, go back to my previous blog post and read it. Let's go!


EU LCS, Week 4:
1. Fnatic (-)
2. H2K (+1)
3. Origen (-1)
4. Unicorns of Love (-)
5. Gambit (+3)
6. Giants (-2)
7. SK Gaming (+3)
8. Elements (+1)
9. Copenhagen Wolves (-3)
10. Roccat (-3)


Fnatic vs Origen was a very solid match and Fnatic ended up victorious in the end. This was definitely Origen's weakest week in comparison to their first 3 weeks. With H2K on the rise, they move up to 3rd while Origen slides into 3rd. Now all eyes are on the Fnatic vs H2K match-up. Gambit have moved up a lot this week. While they still have a lot to work on, they are starting to look like a team now and that's great to see. The more competition the better! But don't be fooled, the other reason why Gambit move up so much is because the teams b…

A little late to the party on this one, but I finally had an opportunity to play Sion again a couple of days ago.

It takes Sion a lot of mana to trade. He has difficulty with anyone that can shield or sustain through the damage he does.

The nerfs have made it harder for him to flat out dominate some of the lanes he could when he was still overtuned after his re-work.

His ultimate and other crowd control plus his ability to infinitely stack health and still do respectable damage make him a super tank that is just about always useful to have on your team assuming you need a super tank with decent engage.

Patch 5.8 notes

Soul Furnace

After activation you have to wait 3 seconds before you can manually detonate the shield, assuming it hasn't already been broken.

% max health damage dropped from 10% at all ranks to 6/7/8/9/10%.

Analysis of Changes

Yeegads, the bump on self detonation from 2 seconds to 3 seconds is annoying. The increased delay definitely gives your lane opponent …

Hey folks! What few of you do come on here on the now and again, you were probably wondering; where are your thoughts on the last two patches!? Well, I have some, Ekko is some crazy stuff man! Lovin' your multitude on references on that one Riot.

So, where have I been you might ask? Well, work happened; yeah, it's summer, kids and adults alike are out of school, and I wanted to make some extra cash for the summer to repair some damages on my car, buy some microtransaction stuff from Riot, Path of Exile, maybe Wildstar once it goes F2P, etc. Additionally, I think I'm in need of some weight loss, not a ton mind you, I'm pretty below average to average of your typical American stereotype, so I've been working out. With my job, and working out, I've been coming home tired, and have wanted to relax and rest up. Additionally, Steam is being bogus with a ton of sales that won't stop grabbing my attention as far as games I want to play!

So the short of it all? Procrastination strike…
