LoL: First Defeated Ranked Match

 

First time jungling in rank match and it was fail on selection screen. Naut/Darius/Morgana/Shen/Shaco/Kass was banned, but seem like it didn't matter. Not to mention our Viegar started getting countered by Ryze extremely hard (had to start ganking him 24/7 since he was just too much on Viegar to the point of slowly getting fed). Riven gave up on top and bot was slowly getting ganked out too hard thanks to Viegar feeding. This is why I tend to play mid often because someone is just going to fail mid and it all spirals down into the crapper. Maybe we still would've lost, but jungling isn't my thing and Shyvana takes a while to lay down damage on certain champions. Oh well, better luck next week.

LoL So Far...

Not too bad actually. Slowly doing ranked games. My first game was lucky since I was Anivia and going mid against a Veigar would mean a free lane for him. Fortunately, that only happen in a normal game (that Veigar blew me out of the water) while I won mid and the game for the ranked one. Second game was with Ahri. Made a lot more mistakes with her than Anivia (go figure) but we still won the game somehow. I must say, she is one hard champion to do really good damage with. Every time I try to burst someone down while not doing so well, teammates instantly get mad at me for not doing any damage. I guess I don't have enough magic penetration or ability power. Either way, it just seem like it tickles people whenever I use her early game.

Anyhow, I have been taking a break from Leagues for a while and plan on going back up again this week. I'll still be a little bit inactive due to other things in real life, but it won't be under the radar this week.

Level 30

Well, I just got up to level 30. I must say, it's been one crazy trip with the LoL community, but I'm happy to get this far. However, I'm going to keep playing normally and such. I still don't believe I'm ready to be doing any kind of ranked matches. So to cover myself from ranked mishaps, I'm not going to jump in there yet. Not to mention I don't have all of my runes yet and still have to practice more with my champions. Still a lot of work needs to be done before I take the next step.

Anyways, I'm going to try and post more often for this blog. My other blog won't retire, but it'll be less active for now. Don't worry, it's not abandon at all. By the way, Ironscale Shyvana skin is quite spicy (no pun intended).

League of Legends

No, I'm not going to make a huge blog about it like my WoW blog. I have more devotion into that game than this one, but League of Legends (or LoL) is a pretty fun game. Right now I'm level 10, playing with my friends, and having a blast. I'm trying to work up my IP (influence points; a slowly accumulating currency for buying off-week champions) to buy a good champion, but it may take me a few more days. Everyone of the good ones are 6300 and I barely got 5000 in a few weeks. I'm not aiming to get every champion, but I would love to get the ones that I like.

Also, as much the game is fun, it does have it drawbacks. Like WoW (I'm not going to compare it heavily to WoW, but they have some similarities), you can't pause the game. However, instead of getting a debuff, leaving or "Away from Keyboard" from the game can lead up to a ban on your account. So if you're planning on being serious, make sure you have a lot of time on your hands and take your time to learn the rules and such. People at lower levels tend to be a lot rude if you're just starting with the game. But it's a lot easier to ignore them and play the game. Still, you're going to meet a lot of them.

Still, this game is a fun RTS. If you're new to them, you'll learn pretty fast from this game. So download it when you're not busy and give it a try.
