Playing as the Support

A lot had changed from Season 3, mostly the Support Meta. Items, play style, and many more has changed.
I didn't play a lot of support until support Annie was introduced. She is by far my favorite support right now.
She brings so much to the table, like burst damage, zone control, incredible stun, and you can stun everyone on the enemy team with Tibbers.

There are 3 new starting items for supports right now, which can be built into really good items:
- Ancient Coin (Replaced Philospher Stone)
-Spellthief's Edge (Replaced Kage's Lucky Pick)
-Relic Shield (New Item For Tanky Supports Like Leona)

I usually start with the Ancient Coin because the passive makes you gain 2 gold every time a minion dies near you. I also like starting with Relic Shield because it makes you execute minions below or at 200 health and it also heals and give the same amount of gold to your nearest ally. This is great against ADCs that harass a lot like Caitlyn.

I usually rush Sightstone for the early wards and swap my Warding Totem for the Sweeping Lens once I aquire the Sightstone. Then I upgrade my Ancient Coin into a Talisman of Ascension, which is the new Shureliya's Revelry.

In the Laning Phase, try to protect your carry and adjust to your ADCs play style and champion. If you're laning with a Caitlyn which is super aggressive early, then play aggressive too. Same thing goes with champions that plays passive in the laning phase and only go aggressive at the right time. Try not to overextend in the early laning phase cause you could get ganked and that could set you behind.

Once you take the enemy's tower, try to roam and help out the other lanes NEVER leave your ADC. When your team is ahead try to start fights by Flash Tibbers or landing a Death Sentence. Try to CC assassins that try to kill your ADC and buff them in fights.Try to know when to engage and disengage in teamfights.

In my opinion, the best way to play as the support is to duo with your ADC. I met this guy in SoloQueue named Rex Oedipus. He's awesome, funny, friendly, and really smart. He is the best ADC I personally know. I usually Duo with him and play as the Support and he ADCs and vice versa. Communication is key to owning Bot Lane, try talking through Skype or Garena Talk.

I love Supporting if the ADC is nice or co-operative cause supporting an ADC that's a pain in the ass is not fun.If you want to try Support, start with simple Support champions like Soraka or Annie. Then once you get enough practice, try using harder ones like Thresh, the Flaymaker ( dem punz ) or Sona. Supporting is really underrated but it's really fun! Well this ends my blog post so have fun playing as the Support and GGWP!

Trolling as AP Shaco

Sometimes trolling is good. Me and my friend played a normal game we had a lot of fun. My friend is just Level 11 so there were no Junglers so we had a duo Top. As you can see I have the worst CS in the entire game because I focused on putting boxes and I had to help the other lanes. At Level 1, I bought a Doran's Ring and 2 Health Potions and went to my Blue Buff. I was on Blue Side so I had to go Top. I killed the Blue Golem pretty fast because my turret's attack speed and damage. I went to the little bush near the river and placed three boxes. Then I told my friend to bait him into the bush and we got First Blood. Then we killed him like 5 times in row. We laughed our asses off and saw Mid having trouble so my friend baited him into the bush off death.

Master Yi carried and did a lot of damage. AP Shaco falls of late game so you want to piss off your enemies until they surrender. Here is my final build on AP Shaco:

-Sorcerer's Shoes
-Lich Bane
-Morellonomicon
-Liandry's Torment
-Rabadon's Deathcap
-Rylai's Crystal Scepter

You guys should try this and try to play with a friend for maximum troling. Hope you guys enjoyed my article!

Jinx, The Loose Cannon Revealed!

Jinx is a new upcoming champion. She is basically Harley Quinn because they have the same attitude. She is the Crime Queen in Piltover, where Caitlyn,Vi, Ezreal, Jayce, Heimerdinger, Ziggs, Corki, and Orianna live. She is probably Vi's sister and arch nemesis. She brings chaos and havoc to Piltover. She is probably an AD Carry with strong poke, high damage, great mobility because of her passive, and a global ultimate.

Here are her abilities and my opinions about them:

Passive: Get Exited
Jinx gets a massive movement speed boost whenever a champion
or tower she attacked gets destroyed or killed. It caps up to 677
and decays over time.

-It's an okay passive and great for running away after you destroy a tower or killed someone.
It's also great for kiting in teammfights because you move faster as your enemies fall.

Q: Switcheroo!

Jinx changes her weapons:

PowPow, the Mini-Gun: Jinx's basic attacks grant bonus attack speed for 2.5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. The stacks decay one at a time when she stops attacking with her minigun.

FishBones,the Rocket Launcher: Jinx gains bonus attack range and deals 10% AD bonus damage on her attacks, at the cost of mana per attack.

-It's the skill you want to max first because of the high damage and attack speed it can give. If you leave it toggled on and keep on auto-attacking, you might use up all your mana so it's better to turn it on to take down a large creep wave or if your fighting someone.

W: Zap!

Jinx fires a long ranged shock blast and slows the first enemy it hits and reveals them.

-Great for poking your enemies and sniping them for the kill.

E: Flame Chompers!

Jinx throws out a line of snare grenades that blow up after a few seconds, lighting near by enemies on fire. Enemies who step on a grenade will make it explode and root them in place.

-Great for escaping and setting up ganks. Great for chasing someone and locking them down
for the kill.

R: Super Mega Death Rocket!!!

Jinx fires off a global rocket that gains damage as it travels. The rocket hits the first champion it encounters and deals damage to all nearby enemies based on a percentage of their missing health.

-It's like an Ezreal and Ashe Ultimate combined but without the stun! It deals high damage and can be used to snipe off kills or to wreck a teammfight.

Here is a picture of her in-game model and her abilities!

I'm really excited and I feel that she is going to be an awesome ADC. Hope you guys enjoyed my sneakpeek!

Patch 3.12 and Garen Visual Upgrade!

Patch 3.12 is out now! I can't talk about everything in the patch so here is the link about everything on the new patch!

Aside from the new patch, Garen has received a new in game model and splash art! He looks really awesome and a lot more handsome. He looks like a new champion now and his abilities look really cool.
I don't like the new look on his ultimate because it looks really plain and I liked the look on his old ultimate better. Here is a picture of his new look and skins!

His skin look really awesome too and his spin looks magnificent! Before face checking a bush, you might expect a more deadly and more handsome Garen!

Playing as the Mid Laner

I love playing in the Mid Lane. Almost all of the champions that I love belong in the Mid Lane. Champions that go there can burst or nuke enemy champions and can gank other lanes. Almost all Mid Lane Champions are squishy. A lot of the champion I bring to the Mid Lane are Assassins. Here are the three types of Mid Champions: Poke, Burst, Sustain. I read this from the website SoloMid.Net.

Burst Champions can do a lot of damage in a short time period. They are often melee or have a short range. Their damage usually falls of late game and are hard to play because you can get poked a lot. Examples are Zed, Ahri, Talon, Fizz, Diana, Ryze, and LeBlanc.

Poke Champions can deal damage from a distance and are safe from harass. The usually have a long auto-attack range or long ranged spells. They usually have to poke the enemy down then finish them off. Examples are Twisted Fate, Orianna, Ziggs, Zyra, Kog'Maw, Anivia, Lux, and Lissandra.

Sustain Champions can stay in their lane for really long time and can stand poke. Some champions can keep their mana or health up for a long time. Some them have good crowd control and are a bit tanky. Examples are Galio, Cho'Gath, Gragas, LeeSin, Vladimir, Swain, and Morgana.

As the Mid Laner you should be ganking other lanes. Before ganking, you should push the creeps until the enemy's tower so he misses experience and gold. The first Mid tower is one of the most important towers to take down because it can deny more enemy vision.

Playing in the Mid Lane is really fun. I would recommend Ahri, Ziggs, Anivia, and Twisted Fate because their easy to learn and fun to play. Hope you enjoyed my article!

Champions That Can Carry You To Diamond

There are over 100 champions in League of Legends. Almost all champions can be used in a Ranked Game but there are some that can really be game changing. Here are some champions that I think are really useful and powerful in Ranked Games.

Ezreal

Ezreal is by far my favorite champion in League of Legends. He has a lot of damage and poke. He is a god at kiting once you get your Iceborn Gauntlet / Frozen Fist. In my opinion, he is the best AD Carry in the game. All of his abilities are skill-shots, so if you don't hit them you're basically useless. He also uses up a lot of mana, so buying an early Tear of the Goddess is very useful if you're ahead. You can also turn it into a Muramana when it's fully stacked. He is a little weak early but once it's late game you can burst the enemy squishies.

Kha'Zix

Kha'Zix is one of the best Assassins in the game. He can actually evolve three of his abilities and through out the match once you get a point in your ultimate. I usually evolve my (Q)Taste Their Fear first because it can do a lot of damage to low and isolated targets. After that, I usually evolve my (E)Leap so it can reset once I get a kill or assist. I usually evolve my (R)Void Assault so I can activate it three times and get reduced damage. Kha'Zix is best played in the Top Lane. You can also play him in the Mid Lane or the Jungle. He is very mana hungry, so buying a Tear of the Goddess can help. He is also very vulnerable once he has no Leap and he is very squishy. He is a great duelist and can get in and out of fights.

Zed

Zed has one of the biggest burst potential in the game. He can 100-0 someone in 2 seconds. Zed is kinda hard because he has a very high skill-cap and you have to utilize your shadow very well. I play him in the Mid Lane because he can burst the AP Carry once he is level 6. You have to play very safe before level 6 because if your enemy laner is ranged, you can get poked a lot and possibly die. As Zed, you want an early gank from your Jungler and you should try to kill the enemy laner even if you have to waste your Flash. First Blood is very important on Zed because you have to snowball to be very powerful.

Twisted Fate
Twisted Fate is one of my favorite champion in the game. He has a lot of burst once you get items. He can gank really well once he is level 6. He has great mana sustain because of his Blue Card and a stun from his Gold Card. He has long ranged poke and you can bust someone by only using two abilities. The problem is that once he has used his Q and W, he sort of useless for 5 seconds. He can apply a lot of map pressure and gain a little bit more gold due to his passive.

Lee Sin
Lee Sin is such an overpowered champion right now. He deals high damage, durable, and very slippery. I usually play him in the Top Lane or in the Jungle. He has great ganks and can escape or chase somebody very easily. He can create a lot of combos because you can activate your basic abilities two times. He is very hard to use and I recommend playing on Smartcast so you can pull off them sick combos better. You need a lot of practice with him and you have to properly use your passive so you don't lose a lot of energy.

PLAY YOUR FAVORITE CHAMPION! If you're good at Nautilus Jungle, then use him! Play your favorite role if you get to. Play champions that you know how to play. Try one of the champions I recommended in a normal game. If you like the champion you tried, then practice! Hope you enjoyed my guide!

Ranked Struggle and Some Helpful Tips

Sorry I haven't posted in a month because I was really busy and I had to do a lot of stuff. I just reached level 30 two weeks ago. I used my favorite champion Ezreal, and I won my first game and went 11/5/12. The following games were really bad and I lost 6 times in a row. After that, I bought Blitzcrank and I thought I going to end up in Bronze 4 or something after 4 games, so I played him in a Ranked Game. We actually won and I had so much fun playing support and I received endless praise from my teammates and kept saying " Nice Hook'' or "Good job Blitz for warding the map :D". I played Blitzcrank for 4 games straight and ended up in Bronze 1!

Here are some tips to cope up with Ranked Struggle:

1. Try to practice 5 champions that fit into each roles.
- This is such a great tip because a lot of people fight in Champion Select because some people fight over particular roles. So if you're the last one who has to pick and you're stuck as the Jungler, at least you have some one to use.

The 5 champions that I pick are:
ADC - Ezreal
Support - Blitzcrank
Jungle - Lee Sin, Fiddlesticks, Jarvan, Shaco
Mid - Ahri or Zed
Top - Kha'zix, Garen, Rumble, Jayce, Wukong

2. Try playing with a friend.
-This helps a lot because both of you have more teammwork and communication.
If your friend is far away try talking through Skype. It's better if one of you plays Support and the other one plays ADC. Me and my friends do this and we take turns playing Support and ADC.

3.Try Summoner School
-This is something my Mom showed me and it really my gameplay. It shows you what you should in teamfights, communication, what to do and what not to do, and many more!

I hope this article helps you deal with Ranked Struggle. It's normal to get demoted and have bad games, but with practice and teamwork, you can reach Diamond!!!!

Rampage 2013 Sucked and What They Could Have Done!

Rampage 2013 sucked. I got their around 12:00 pm and when I saw the line, I was blown away by how long the line was. There were more people there than the FIBA Asia 2013, and that was just the line to get in. The line started from the entrance of SMX and looped around and reached Manila Bay. Here's a picture taken by Mark Laroza of the longest line I ever saw.

When I got there I asked a guard where the back of line was. He told me it was all the way over Manila Bay. So I went there, good thing I saw my cousin who was at about half of the line. I asked him if I could join him in the line. He was cool with it. He introduced me to his friends and we just talked about how long the line was and we just talked about the game.

Around 2:00 pm, one of the event organizers came and told us that there are no more tickets and that we should go and eat first and come back around 4:00 pm. We didn't want to go and lose our spots. After an hour we reached the right side of the building and then the event organizer came back and told us that there were no more tickets and there was no more merchandise. Almost everyone was so mad so we just bailed and went to the mall.

We ended up eating at the Food Court and I went home.On the way home, me and my Mom talked about how they could have sold the tickets online so that there wouldn't be more people at the event than the maximum capacity. You could just present your ticket when you got there and claim your in-game freebies.

When I got home, I just played some League of Legends just to soothe my anger. Kha'Zix was on sale so I tried to buy him but I wasn't working so I wasted my RP on Kassadin. I played for a couple of hours and went home. Next year, I will wake up around 5:00 am and leave at 6:00 am and hope to be at the front of the line.

Is the new Master Yi OP???

R.I.P AP Master Yi. I was really sad when this happened. AP Yi was a really fun way to play Yi because the old Yi's Alpha Strike was based on AP and can do a lot of damage. You can basically get a lot of multi kills with your Alpha Strike. You can also one shot their enemy carry and get a ton of pentas.

Anyway, I like the new Yi. Reworked Master Yi is so awesome!!! He looks really good and he feels like a new champion. His Alpha scales off of AD now but can now critically strike and each basic attack lowers the cooldown by one second. His Meditate kinda sucks now but it is a really good sustain for the early game phase. His Wuju Style now has no mana cost and it's passive now grants a percentage of your attack damage into bonus AD, not just a flat amount, and when it's activated it makes your basic attacks deal true damage. His Highlander passive now reduces your basic abilities by 18 second which is really good. Highlander's duration is also extended by 4 seconds when you get a kill which means you can still get a lot of multi kills because Alpha Strike's cooldown is refreshed when you get a kill while your Highlander is on. He is kind of OP if you have a good early game.

Here are some pictures:

He looks really cool and more like a ninja. His armor now shows more and he has amazing animations. I also have the Assassin Master Yi Skin. It looked realy ugly and just looked like a black and white Master Yi.
Now the skin looks like a beast and I really like it.

Here are the new looks of his skins:
