Now, League of Legends is an amazing game; fast paced, incredibly active, and addicting, and one of the things that people love to do in that game is to kill an opposing champion. Nothing is more satisfying then outplaying an enemy and seeing your kill counter go up, but have you ever asked yourself “was that kill worth it?” Many of you would tell me yes without a second thought, how could not killing someone be better then killing them?… Read More »
Well the finals have come and gone and I have finally had a chance to sit down and go over the IEM League of Legends Tournament in New York. Now unfortunately I was unable to follow every match with the depth and intricacy I was able to at the kick off of the event but I am going to instead use this article to simply cover the final tournament winning match to you as in as great detail as possible….

There is a common misconception in League of Legends on how a carry “carries” a game. All agree, “Carries need gold to carry”, there’s no doubt about that (you ever see a Tristana with a full build, scary stuff). However, where this gold come from varies from elo to elo. “I’m a carry, I needz moar killz! Quit KSing!” Scrubs (or people who aren’t well versed in the game) will tell you carries should get all the champion kills and… Read More »
The IEM III Event is Underway!!!…after a two hour delay… The Intel Extreme Masters Event III in New York began yesterday (October 13th) and needless to say it was an extremely impressive showing of all the teams involved. Upsets and shattered dreams were most certainly a large part of every match of the day. Many victories and defeats were decided, as they usually are, by the victors of the team fight at baron buff. All in all it was an… Read More »
Now it’s no secret that League of Legends is a great game, as a matter of fact it’s considered by many to be the best DOTA clone on the market today. And obviously I’d have to agree or I would be writing HON articles instead. No offence HON guys, I just don’t like your game as much and I’m most certainly not alone. How do I know this? Well the pure size of the player base which isn’t officially documented,… Read More »
It has been a hot button debate for some time now in the LOL community, should the Elo system be revamped to allow players to have both a solo queue Elo and a pre-made team Elo? And if so how would such a system work? , Should the scores be completely unaffected by one another? Or should they be combined into a single score made up of some kind of averaging the two together? These are some of the questions… Read More »
Morale is an interesting thing. It can drive your average person to do extraordinary things, while also causing the mightiest of armies to crumble upon itself. It can be the sole factor which decides the outcome of wars, yet it bears no physical presence in our world. I know what many of you are thinking… “Wtf is Morale? And how do I get a hold of it” Morale is your team’s drive to win, or achieve their goal (in League,… Read More »
The term MOBA, for those of you who make a habit out of living under rocks, stands for “Multiplayer Online Battle Arena” and is the genre of games that League of Legends falls under. Now while DOTA gave birth to the genre as we know it today, games like LOL and Heroes of Newerth are making slight changes to the formula either by simplifying the system of gameplay to make it more accessible to everyone (LOL) or building upon what… Read More »
League of Legends – A strategy guide to strategy and teamwork From Etherimp Part 1 – Introduction There are hundreds if not thousands of guides out there focused on specific champions, or strategy for Twisted Treeline or Summoners Rift. There are guides for champion builds, team compositions, the Meta-Game, jungling, laning, raising your Elo, avoiding trolls, not dying, and even guides for making guides. Despite the abundance of these guides, I personally feel there is still an important aspect which is… Read More »
As an avid gamer I was never blind to the rising MOBA genre, all my friends would get together and play the original DotA while I would WoW Arena with my 3′s team. But I have to admit, arena was my gateway drug into MOBAs. I loved TBC arena with a passion when it was introduced, I loved PvP in every game. That love was what really hurt me when I had to sit by and watch competitive arena become… Read More »
