At the recent MLG summer championship tournament, two of the better teams on the roster decided to be less than intelligent for the day. The tournament itself was in the finals, with the top two teams ready to do battle for a prize pool of $32,000. The two teams in question, Curse NA and Diginitas had plans that wound up falling outside what everyone was expecting.   The first thing that occurred to clue people [...]

In the newest patch Riot is changing to play style of the second assassin they added to the ranks of champions in the early days of the game. Riot is making strides to improve Twitch to be a much more aggressive rat, in an effort to make his ability to pop out of stealth and murder someone much easier for the player. Riot validates this in the same way they did with eve, by citing [...]

So, in a seemingly continual effort to let players get used to a style of playing Evelynn well before completely remaking the champion, Riot is yet again redesigning her to be “the best assassin.”   Evelynn is the first of two top-down remakes Riot plans to do. The Plague Rat, Twitch, is also set to be redesigned as Riot continues to work on a way to have stealth be viable in the game without it [...]

Some may ask themselves why I would sit down and write a post about this, well, the main reason is that it breaks my heart when I see people make their team fall over completely because of slight mechanical disadvantages. Obviously I do understand that some are new to the genre and don’t know everything yet, but there are cases where a little more focus on basic aspects of the game would help them do [...]

First of all, teamplay and map awareness, although these are required for lower levels [...]

In the previous two posts we’ve been talking about low ELO and how to handle it if you wish to improve your rating from there. Today is a little different, today we’ll be talking about mid level ELO, high silver to ~high gold. Of course you have to keep the basics in mind even here, but at this point you aren’t forced to carry your team completely anymore, which means you can be less greedy [...]
