I am but an egg when it comes to minion wave control. These are some my observations thus far.

Under normal circumstances when your minion wave collides with the enemy minion wave this is the formation that results.

M=Melee
C=Caster
N=Cannon

CCC
MMM

or

There will be a gap between where the melee minions line up to fight each other and the ranged minions line up, unless the minions are reacting to your presence as they will preferentially target champions if they are in range.

So, one sure fire method to get your lane to push toward enemy territory is to kill the enemy ranged creeps in the next two minions waves. Doing this will cause your minion waves to stack (puts more than one minion wave together) because your waves will stop moving when they encounter the line of enemy melee minions that you left behind, which allows time for oncoming waves to catch up.*, **, ***, ****

So, if you have the time and want to make life easy on yourself, fol…

Welcome everybody,

I don't know if anybody even remembers me but

I am back!

It is true, I am back now. What has kept me from blogging on Mobafire you might ask? Well, here is your answer : Real Life.
I was blogging in 2012. That year, I graduated from school, got accepted in a college/university right after graduation and didn't really have much time to do anything :/ I even stopped playing League for about a year and checked back in for a few months after that.

Anyways, let's not talk about the past, a lot has happened but I am glad to be back!
Let's start talking about what you can expect from me in 2015 though.

First of all, I would really like to get back into League of Legends!
I started playing League again when Nemesis Mode was launched, I hated it and wasn't sure if I still want to play the game. Then they relaunched URF and it was a lot of fun for a few games.(Basically until everybody just picked Nid, Shaco and Zed)
Now I got back into normal games though. Not much seems …

I've been monkeying around with Volibear since Sejuani is pretty close to permaban in Ranked Silver. He is pretty beast. Last night I made a

Teemo

He can play any role but you pick him and everyone assumes you are trolling. I haven't had one Teemo game in rank that I haven't been assaulted in some way lol. No matter how well I play. he's strong in many situations including team fights. What gives? When did he get sucha bad rep?

Well I thought a blog would be cool to do as I am in a unique situation and I though it would be somewhat interesting to share my story with the community. On top of that I would love comments that would help me be an overall better player. I started playing in 3 years ago with my students and did marginally well. Got to level 11 and then life just took off and I stopped playing. I was a Caitlyn Main and did decently. I didn't lose the games for my team but I certainly didn't win any for them either. I was like a 3/4/3 line generally.

Take it all the way to Mid March this year. I was working and came across an article on eSports and a new app by TheScore. I read it and nearly fell off my chair. What an insane run this community has been on since I left. I looked at the competitive scene and though to myself: "I need to be a part of this again".

So I downloaded the game back on my laptop, bought a mouse (I play a lot of console games lol) and got back on the rift. The amount of resour…

Odds and Ends

Now You Don't See It. Now You Do.
So yeah if you are playing Graves and you hit someone with Smoke Screen and then start attacking them they can see you. This seems odd to me but that is how it works, so there you go.

Status: Bronze V - Position 17 / 42LP

Ban&Pick
There where two obvious kids in our team, using more *** in the chat, then there are stars in the sky. It seemed they had more fun to provoke with disgusting words then to play with LOL. I had the 4th slot and since jungle was already given away to a Xin Zhao in slot 2 I decided to take Corky.
My support was a Malphite. Our lane opponents were Quinn and Taric.
On the midlane we had an Ahri against Le Blanc, the opponent jungler was Akali and on top we had Shyvana against Volibear.

The Game
My support tried to prepare some kills, but I didn't go in. I tried to keep my health up. I don't know if he flamed me about it, because he was one of the kids and I muted both kids to keep concentration.
We had a hard time in our lane and lost the outer tower at 14 Minutes. My farm was poor. Our opponent teamed up much better and took me a long time to get enough gold for my items.
Out two tanks worked more as fighters. In two fights I used the wrong …

Leaguecraft 101 - Trading Ep1

Nice short clip on the mechanics and ideas behind trading.

I used these strategies to good affect against a Gangplank last night while trying out the new Omega Squad Teemo skin.

One thing I'll add using Ganglank as an example, but the idea applies to quite a few champions, is that if Gangplank uses his Q,
