EDIT: I am currently running 15 ad (ad marks and quints) 40 hp (5 hp seals) and (4 armor seals, 9 armor glyphs)10 armor on my main page. My page with mr (for backup) is 9xflat armor seals, 9x flat magic resist glyphs, 9x ad reds and 3x ad quints

For the purpose of bottom lane, I stand by my armor yellows, but you may see something weird out of me like 3 flat health seals. The reasoning for this is you get the best of both worlds in effective hp and damage with this combination (at least in my opinion). Consider that I am mainly concerned with mid to late game while also being potent... Read More

This blog post I made a week ago, ended up being right on the money basically:

http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/blog/cloudcarry/season-4-ad-carry-runes-ditch-lifesteal-quints-for-armor-pen-reds

So, what changed from last week to this week? Well riot has announced the rebalancing of runes and with this, a very significant change to Lifesteal Quints taking each one down to 1.5 percent each. Armor runes are also being reduced, but they are giving every champion a flat armor bonus to compensate. This is mainly to give an alternative to armor yellows. So this change actually... Read More

This post is made with the assumption that you have read and understand these changes:

Hey, guys this is just gonna be a quick follow up post to my other blog posts. I have titled it "Season 4 Support," however to avoid confusion with my other recent blog post titles.

I expect Supports after this Rune Update to be starting Health Seals, Health Regeneration Quints, Armor Reds, and their choice of Glyphs.

With the nerf of Armor Seals, Armor reds will continue to be chosen by... Read More

EDIT: It would appear that you can also run 5 armor pen marks, 4 flat ad marks and 1 flat ad glyph to have the same bonus ad as the 4 percent lifesteal page. (You still run flat ad quints) Noone would know you were running armor pen and not lifesteal, unless they looked you up.

As Season 4 is picking up speed, I am predicting 6 armor penetration reds, 3 flat ad reds and flat ad quints to become the standard for ad carries once again. These runes were seen as optimal at certain points in time and indeed, it was not uncommon for certain players to run armor pen reds AND quints. As we... Read More

I had some people asking me about season 4 masteries, and the pbe just happened to update today. You can find the complete updated masteries here : http://preseason.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/

Rather than having to tell everyone what I thought over and over again, I figured it would be easier to make a video or two and just refer back to them. So without further ado, I present my opinion on what's going to be different in season 4 as compared to season 3.

Disclaimer: I haven't gone over every change, but in the interest of time, I wanted to instead go over what was going to be... Read More
