The Faces of the league of legends community.

Links to youtube will be at the bottom of the bottom of the page.

So Gbay99 just recently posted a video where he shared his opinion on paying to get better at league and why you shouldnt and mentioned why pay for what you can get for free from him, Sky (gregidot), and Ciderhelm.

But what exactly are you getting for free?

We watch these youtube videos hoping to be diamond or gold, or whatever your goal for League of Legends is, but what exactly are we getting out of these videos, Gbay99 said it himself "why should you pay for what you're going to figure out anyway?"

So lets start with what you're getting out of Gbay99s videos.

His channel is called Become a Better LoL player.

He uses philosophy and logic to show how your attitude and mindset is affecting the way you play the game, talks about being on tilt and how that the feeling of time escaping you is also another factor. Using Sun Tzus art of war he mentions leadership roles in the team and how YOU are the reason you lost. If you want more information link to Gbays channel will be below.

Sky

A comedian who is really involved in community matters.

Not to say he's in the "drama" to use highschool terminology, but he is very into what is happening to the community at large, posting videos like the one inspired by all the Maplestreet haters and the other one about the kid who was put in jail for some things he said on facebook. Sky really won't tell you how to lane or strategic thoughts, but he says things we should all know in a way as if we don't. He uses rhetoric that clumps league players together to associate all of us together, and we are, we are all players in a game. Sky is like a tough love giving uncle or cousin, who calls you a dumb@$$ and says what you're doing wrong. He pretty much tells us to respect each other, treat each other well regardless of role. If you want more information the link to his channel will be below.

Ciderhelm

The family man who makes his living by making content for the viewer.

If we had to compare the youtubers to teachers, Gbay would be an english or philosophy teacher, Sky would be a drama teacher, and Ciderhelm would be a math teacher. 

Going through lane mechanics and last hitting, to positioning in teamfights, he analyzes replays from his own games and others, constantly saying what the player could have done that would have changed the outcome of the fight. teaching people how to stutter step and even creating videos on champion counters and how to deal with counters, he teaches you what you can do mechanically to get better. He does mention though very lightly in one of his videos that attitude does matter. He does have an E-book with even more information on how to get better at league, but I'm not exactly sure what is in it. you do have to pay for that, but I'm certain that most if not all that information is available on his youtube channel for free and the real reason he sells the book is for players, who enjoy his work and what he does, to support him. For more information the link to his channel will be down below.

Hope you enjoyed this post, Good luck on the Fields of Justice.

League Diaries (#2)

Ranked Queues, why you shouldn't be afraid to ranked.

Ranked in low elo is hell, elo hell may not exist but it is hell just to play some days. those days that seem like you're always against the team that seems to know what you're about to do and always seem to know exactly how to counter you. yeah those happen and it sucks, a lot, but in reality those games are usually decided by one person. one person can carry games, I have I'm sure most of us have. We have all been carried, your'e lying if you say that you go 10 and 0 every game and you always ward and help your team. we all have games were we don't do everything we should and that's okay, nobody expects you to be a diamond level player when you're bronze 1 or silver 5. It's okay to get carried but don't go into a game expecting to lose, or give up after first blood, or think the game is un-winnable when it isn't. (not to say that every game is winnable but just know when it is and when its not).

Treat ranked like normals, don't be afraid to thing weird things like fizz top (if you know what you're doing that is), be comfortable in your picks and understand where your champions weakness are and how to best work around them. 

Play your best in any queue and always look to get better.

Good luck on the fields of justice.

League Of Legend Diaries (#1)

The Random and You:

Plenty of people make friends while playing the game, or just have friends that play the game, we all enjoy queuing up and playing with our friends but what happens when there are 4 of you and you get into a lobby for a 5v5? This is where the random comes in. That 5th person is probably someone who you have never played with, there are millions of league players chances are you haven't played with all of them. 

Please respect the random, under any circumstance. If your random wants mid, give it to them, dont think because they are alone in queue that it gives you the right to force them into whatever role you don't wanna play. 

I just played 2 games with a different random in each game. We gave them what they wanted no arguments, supported them when they needed it and over all treated this person as if they were in group the whole time, open communications all game.

These players may only be silver but they were pretty damn good silver players and definitely worth putting them on my buddy list. 

TL;DR: Respect the random, I mean wouldn't you like to be treated that way?

Dishonored (game review)

This game, It's a bit late to review but what the hell. 

I played this game the week of its release on the ps3 and my first reaction was "damn this is amazing". From the gameplay, to the story. 

From the start the game tries to make you emotionally attached to Emily, invested, With a sense of familiarity in the rhetoric and a game of hid and seek it really feels like you know who Emily is even though you've been in game for 5 minutes. You don't just want to beat the game, you want to save her.

And the things you do to get her back. HOLY SHIFT. The mechanics are amazing, the game can go from free flowing to steady measured and methodical steps taken to make a clean cut on your mark. 

From a double jump to a blink the areas you can traverse are amazingly detailed, at least 3 different ways to go at any given moment. 

The games replay value is phenomenal, it feels different every time i play, and that's without the DLC "Knife of Dunwall" 

10/10 would play again and again
