Syndra, the Dark Sovereign, Revealed

Here we have one more upcoming champion !

Skills

Transcendent (Passive): Each of Syndra’s normal abilities gain an extra effect at max rank.

Dark Sphere: Spheres deal bonus damage to champions.

Force of Will: Projectiles briefly knocks enemies into the air.

Scatter theWeak: Cone width increases.

Dark Sphere: Syndra conjures a dark sphere at a target location, dealing magic damage in an area. The sphere remains for several seconds and can be manipulated by Syndra’s other abilities.

Force of Will:

First Cast: Grabs a target dark sphere, enemy minion or neutral monster.

Second Cast: Throw a grasped dark sphere or enemy at a target area. Enemies struck by the projectile take magic damage and are slowed.

Scatter the Weak: Deals magic damage in a cone and knocks enemies away based on how close they are to Syndra. Dark spheres within the area-of-effect are also knocked back, dealing magic damage and stunning enemies in their path.

Unleashed Power (Ultimate): Draws upon Syndra’s full cataclysmic power, harnessing all active dark spheres to deal additional magic damage to an enemy champion.

New changes coming for katarina

So I guess you guys already heard that they're going to relaunch Katarina!

I really don't know why they would do that, she is a balanced champion, if she starts  to snowball it's a beast,  but can be easily countered with CC and she is extremely squishy, so what are the changes we going to have?

Katarina’s New Abilities:

Voracity (Passive): Champion kills or assists reduce Death Lotus' cooldown and refresh your basic abilities.

Bouncing Blades: Katarina throws a dagger that bounces from enemy to enemy, dealing magic damage and marking them. Striking a marked target with an ability or basic attack will consume the mark to deal additional magic damage.

Sinister Steel: Katarina whirls her daggers around her, dealing magic damage to all enemies in the area. If she hits an enemy champion, Katarina gains Movement Speed for a short duration.

Shunpo: Katarina instantly moves to her target's location and takes reduced damage from enemies for a short duration. If the target is an enemy, she deals damage.

Death Lotus (Ultimate): Katarina becomes a flurry of blades, throwing daggers with unrivaled speed at up to three nearby champions. Daggers deal magic damage and reduce incoming healing on targets hit.

Katarina’s Old Abilities:

Voracity(Passive): After a kill or an assist, Katarina gains 25 gold and her cooldowns are reduced by 15 seconds.

Bouncing Blade : Katarina throws a dagger that will bounce from enemy to enemy, dealing magic damage. Each subsequent hit deals 10% less damage. The blade won't bounce to hit the same enemy more than once on the same cast.

Killer Instincts(Passive): Each of Katarina's autoattacks and abilities will deal extra damage per hit. This gives extra damage to each Bouncing Blade bounce and each Death Lotus dagger.

(Active): Katarina's next basic ability within 15 seconds will have a bonus effect:

Bouncing Blade: Deals full damage to every target it hits and applies 50% healing reduction for 5 seconds.

Shunpo: Katarina takes reduced damage from enemy attacks for 3 seconds.

Shunpo: Katarina moves to her target's location, appearing behind it. If the target is an enemy, she deals magic damage to the target.

Death Lotus : Katarina channels for 3 seconds, throwing 30 daggers over the duration to the 3 closest enemy champions in a nearby area around her. Each enemy champion can be hit by a maximum of 10 daggers.

So what are the changes? 

Passive:

She doesn't win the extra 25 gold whenever she kills or assists.

When she kills or have an assist she will have the Death lotus cooldown reduced and abilities refreshed instead of reducing all cooldowns by 15 seconds.

Don't know if this will be positive for her or not... But I think it will , since she will now have all her abilities refreshed after assist or kill, so it will be easy to get another kill or assist. 

Q:

Now we have a Q similar to Akali's Q , whenever an enemy is hit by Bouncing blades it gets marked, and when you attack them it will deal extra damage. In my opinion is even better than Akali's Q , since in a teamfight Katarina can mark all the adversary team , it's multi target and Akali is single target. Just due to this change Katarina will become really powerful. 

W:

In W I believe that Katarina lost a bit.. She now has an area damage that gives damage and movement speed for a short duration, the only good thing it will be for chasing enemies, while with the old ability she could hit every target with bouncing blades for the same damage and healing reduction( a great debuff) or have reduced damage from enemy attacks. 

E:

So the new Shunpo has the combo with W from before, everytime you use it you take reduced damage for 3 seconds. So it is a trade in having this here and changing W. 

R:

The only difference in her ultimate is that she now gives reduced incoming healing , what will be great against an ad carry with Heal as a summoner spell . 

General conclusions:

With this changes I believe that Katarina will be even stronger and will be picked much more. She will have more burst damage, so it will be like an Akali but more AOE oriented. What do you think ? 

Have fun.

1000 RP for everyone that had the recent problems

So league of legends had some bugs in this past days.. In order to reward the players for that problem Riot is going to give 1000 RP for everyone that had runes disappearing, rp, ip missing. This happened most for NA players. So what we can say is , thank you riot. And try to prevent this from happening , it is really annoying when you are enjoying your game , owning everyone with what you learned in leagueoflegendsownage, and BAM! Disconnect! I'll leave the support page here for someone that needs to contact Riot. Later today I'll post my usual free rotation review!

Top Plays week 76

The jungler role, what is it ?

So today I'll be talking about the jungle role.

First of all I will give you a list of junglers, some aren't the best ones, but they can jungle:


Lee Sin, Udyr, Dr. Mundo, Nocturne, Jarvan IV, Maokai, Nautilus, Skarner, Trundle, Alistar,Riven, Shyvana, Olaf,  Amumu, Malphite, Cho`Gath, Shaco,Warwick, Shen, Hecarim, Jax, Gangplank, Master Yi,Volibear, Rammus, Sejuani, Fiddlesticks,Darius,Xin Zhao,Wukong,Nunu,Tryndamere,Singed,Heimerdinger,Evelynn,Twitch,Akali,Karthus,Sion ,Fiora.


Some of this champions can make you say, what the fuck ? But they can jungle and can be good. I'll give you some examples.

Karthus :

If he has the blue buff he can do the jungle really well , and having a ganker with slow and extreme damage output can be very good, of course you wont get that farmed, but you can get fed, since with your ultimate you will just kill people in no time. You will start your jungle with his Q.
To jungle with him , and with most champions you will need runes of armor at yellows, you can go with flat magic pen at reds, flat ability power at the quintessences  and ability power per level in blues.
You start at wolves with damage then you need a pull at blue, after that go wraiths and get back to wolves, after that do red and you can try to gank that it is overpushed.
The downsides : Well you won't get as much farm as you could in mid, Karthus isn't that powerful in late game. It is a bit hard to farm with him in jungle, and he has some hard time ganking.
Wolves-Blue-Wraiths-Wolves-Red-Gank?-Wraiths.

Singed

Singed is by nature a tanky champion so he can be useful in a team comp. He definitely needs to start at blue, he needs mana so you can use your Q to do the jungle . After Q you will be getting E, so you can farm even more easily. You should go with runes of armor at yellows, flat or per level magic resist at blues , magic pen at reds and flat ability power at quintessences. His main purpose is his ganking ability , just go in with your poison use fling on the target, or if he tries to flash you use the slow and then fling it , if he doesn't flash before fling , you fling and then you slow him . And it is an almost certain kill.

The downsides: He is a slow,slow jungler... He can be countered hard in jungle, just steal his blue and he is fucked!

Blue-Wolves-Wraiths-Gank?-Red-Wolves-Wraiths.

These are just two examples of not so much used junglers.

So I will be talking about the jungler role in general, I won't give you guides about each champion, and how you will play them in jungle. Maybe if I do guides on each champion , the ones that are able to jungle I will make a part for it .

So has jungler what will you do ?

You won't be in a lane farming , instead of that you will be in jungle , killing the neutral camps and helping your teammates through ganking. And don't ever forget! Take smite!!!! Always take smite, it isn't just so you can do your buffs more easily , it will help you securing your buffs, counter jungling, and the most important, securing Baron and Dragon.

Most of the times your items of choice will be : Cloth armor + 5 pots . If you are with a strong jungler you can take vampiric specter, boots of speed + 3 pots , or even with a Doran's Blade.

Ask mid to give you a leash on the buff that you start , if in blue ask top to help you in blue by giving some damage and protection, if in red, ask bott to come and help you the same way as it was in blue.

After that you will proceed to killing the other camps, since the new jungle , it is useless to do the Double golems, so don't waste time there, at level 3 you should be with red and blue buff. And now you should start ganking.

Ganking

To gank you must first look for lanes that your adversary is pushing, after you acquire your target lane you should start going there and always ask that lane if they had warded it. And warn the lane that you are going to gank! Most of the times that people don't warn the gank is a supreme fail! You should wait for the laner to start , or if you have a stun you should start, depends on the situation, and always remember! Making your adversary to use flash is a good gank!!! Don't be too greedy or you will die! There are alot of tactics to gank, I will give you videos of some ganks so you can see, it is hard to explain through text.

What you should do :

You should allways try to give your buffs to your teammates that need  them more, for example blue for AP mid. You should control your jungle and theirs, how  you do this ? Through warding! Always but always ward baron and the buffs , if someone tries to steal your blue or red if you have it warded you will just get a free kill with the help of your mates!

You should start jungling when you want, but take it easy , jungling without runes is really harder, but it is not impossible, you should just play it safer .

When possible ward the river to protect your teammates ! Having that ward will not only help them not being ganked but will help you in ganking, now you can see if they have warded the place or if there is an enemy there.

Try to buy oracles elixir or vision wards, it will improve your ganks since they will no longer have wards to protect them.

Also, when a teammates asks for a gank try to go for it.

And don´t forget! There are two ways of jungling , with ganks or without ganks! 

Farming the jungle:

The only difference in this one is that you wont be doing many ganks but instead you wont leave the jungle so you can farm, not to used because it gets you underleveled and it is hard to gain gold from this , it is easier to get it from kills or assists provided by ganks.

Counter-jungle :

Another important topic is counter jungling! What is counter jungling?

Well counter jungling is when you steal xp and gold from the enemy jungler! For example if you saw that the enemy jungler, just failed a gank at top , or is top you could go and do the main wraith! How will you do that? You  enter their jungle, if possible ward it , it will be useful , and just do some damage on the main minion and then smite it and get back to ganking or to your jungle.

Why just the main minion ?

Because you need to be fast, so you just damage and smite, also he is the one that gives more money, and because if you don't kill all the minions in some camp it will not respawn , so for example you steal their blue , you can leave one minion and if they don't go there and kill it their blue won't respawn.

Hope it was informative and helpful for you guys!

Free champion rotation week 29

Here is the free champion rotation for this week. I'll have a light review on each Champion at the end.

Corki(3150ip/975rp)

Corki is an AD carry, he has some good mechanics and can be really powerful but kinda hard to play. You will need to have a really good farm, and some skill with skillshots , he is based on his rockets (Ultimate).

Garen(1350ip/585rp)

Garen is a good top laner, he has lots of sustain with his passive. He becomes really tanky in late game but except for that he is a bit useless at late game.. Still a good champion although, and can counter lots of champions in top.

Jax(1350ip/585rp)

He had his skills changed recently, some to better other to worst, like his ultimate it was kinda a nerf... But let's talk about him in lane, he normally is played at solo top, or jungle . Jax is a dangerous champion, if he starts to snowball he will be unbeatable, but countered by some champions at top,but in jungle he has some good ganking abilities with his stun and leap. 

Miss Fortune(4800ip/975rp)

Her ulti... so much damage! So difficult to land and such a stupid mechanic... You can't move while you are channeling it. Still she is a good AD carry. Just needs some good support and she will counter some champions.

Rammus(3150ip/975rp)

A good jungler, he is quick to destroy the jungle, and he has lots of ganking power, with his Q and the taunt. One thing that can be done with him is making him AD , we will push towers like a beast! But usually he is made as a tank.

Ryze(450ip/260rp)

One of my first champions, he is really good . Really hard to farm with him but as soon as you get Tear of the Godess you will be able to farm with you ultimate and skills. Try it out. Can be played in mid, top or as a support. 

Singed(1350ip/585rp)

Normally played at top, he is known as the troll champion , if you are tanky enough you will just troll people around with your poison and slow. 

Skarner(6300ip/975rp)

Normally played at solo top or jungle, he has lots of sustain. A good champion , you should try it out. 

Xerath(6300ip/975rp)

Played as AP mid, normally not many people choose him. But he can be a good champion, you need quick reaction to play with it.

Taric(1350ip/585rp)

A good support, he has heal, his shield and a great stun . So he is a good support. And cheap so it is a good  idea to buy him.

New Mode in League of Legends review

Hi there, I'll start by giving the information that you need and I'll proceed to do my review on it, feel free to comment and give your opinion. There will be screenshots in the end with proof.

The Proving Grounds

So what will we have in this map ? 

AT THE END THERE IS A SURPRISE

• Increased gold rate
• Increased Exp rate, both this rates don't are as high as on Dominion.
• If you leave the base you can't buy until your dead.
• You can't use recall.
• Your base wont't heal you anymore!
• You start at lvl 3 with 1350 gold, just like in Dominion.
• You have 4 spots where it will spawn health/mana just like in Dominion.
• LIKE MANY PEOPLE THINK, YOU ARE NOT LIMITED TO RANDOM! You can do normal and draft pick also.
• There are items that are blocked. ( Bloodthirster, Bloodrazor,Wards,Prospector's items, Stacking items,Lightbringer,Wriggle's or Madred's items, Odyn's Veil (Banshee's is ok),Hextech Sweeper,Guardian Angel ,Kitae's Bloodrazor ,Entropy,Sanguine)
• Teleport is disabled too.

So my review on this map, what can we expect ?

I think this map will be cooler than dominion, it will take longer to end and it will be based on teamfights and not in conquering points, so for people that love to battle, like I do, this may be really fun to play. 

What will you need to win ? 

You will need to be smart and do tactics so you can overcome your enemy in just one lane. Since there is only one lane I don't know what the META will be... Who will farm more? Will there be a need to farm , having a passive lane ? Maybe not, and may the game will be based on Bruisers! For example, 2 bruisers , 1     Ap caster and a support maybe, only for heals and silence. 

What are your thoughts about this ? 

Can't wait to try it out and see if it will be like Dominion or better. 

Here's the proof.

The New Summoner spell!

Seems really useful. And this is supposed to substitute the recall , so you have more durability.

Team comp Hard Bind and CC

(UPDATED version since 9 June)
So beginning today I will bring to you something new!! Have a guess... oh wait, it is in the name of the post! Team comps that have lots of probability to be successful!
This is just a team comp, it isn't the most powerful and it isnt perfect, none is!

Team Comp Hard Bind and CC

This is a comp that I've tried with some friends and after some thinking we believe that this is a team comp really powerful. It isn't the most powerful comp of all , since there is no perfect comp, is just a comp that I find that works well in most scenarios, sometimes it will be countered, others it won't so just have fun trying it. I'll try to give other Team comps in some days.

Solo top !

The chosen one is Riven! As you guys know Riven is a powerful choice, she is tanky, does lots of damage and has lots of CC, this is what you want. She also is a counter to many META solo top champions, she has a good sustain, can do fair trades and pretty easy to farm with , later in game Riven does lots of damage and her CC can be very disruptive in a teamfight , her ultimate is handy too.

Jungle !

The chosen one for jungle will be Alistar! Or if you guys don't like to play him in the jungle you can always pick Amumu, he has lots of utility with his ultimate.Alistar has you know is a great support, an aggressive support, so why not playing him in jungle ? He has good ganks and can start to snowball , he wont be a real beast of damage, but will become your tank and the main pain in the ass for your enemy since will be throwing people in the air and giving headbutts.  

Middle !

The main one will be Morgana ( I know she his hard to get if you are playing ranked), the Binder! You farm just like putting a knife through hot butter and you have the CC from your ultimate and you bind, we're dealing with lots of damage here! If Morgana is banned.... Well you can always choose Ryze,Swain,Veigar,Annie, but the main one is Morgana! Why Morgana ? Because she is one of the most powerful AP champions, she can farm with ease, what will give her a great late game, and her bind is one of the purposes of this composition , it does lots of damage and is handy to pick the champion to eliminate and then take care of the rest of the enemy team. Her ultimate will just wreck people... And her shield is pretty handy for some friend that is in trouble. 

Bottom !

For support you will choose .... LUX! Double Bind, slow , a huge shield and a freaking killer ultimate, what could you want more for a support? And for the AD carry , it's a good idea to choose Ashe! Slow and a stun, right in our team comp! Kennen AD also is a good choice for this team composition. Some people dislike the idea of Lux and Ashe together, because Ashe as a weak start and Lux is a weak support without heal or whatever , but, in this composition it works pretty well. Just bind and harass , playing safe unless Alistar comes for a gank , and if Alistar comes for a gank, and uses Pulverize Lux will just Bind them and BANG! It's over! So the bottom lane just needs a bit of help starting, that's the purpose of Alistar, once they reach level 6 it will be much easier . Since many people said , and I think it is correct, Nunu would also be a good support, since it would be slow like hell!!! 

Hope you guys like it , I'll be waiting for your comments!

Free Champion rotation week 28

Here is the free champion rotation for this week, will give some thoughts on each champion at the end.

Cho'Gath(1350ip/585rp)

Cho'Gath can be a good choice for solo top, and if you farm your stacks from the ulti you become a beast. He can also be played in the jungle. He has alot of CC.

Darius(6300ip/975rp)

One of the most recent Champion, he can be played in the jungle and solo top, a good melee champion.

Galio(4800ip/975rp)

A powerful solo top, he his a good tank. And normally good against ap carries.

Gangplank(3150ip/975rp)

One of the champions with more roles, you can play him in the jungle,in solo top, as a support, he is really powerful. I would suggest that you five him a try.

Heirmdinger(3150ip/975rp)

Normally played in mid, he can be powerful but kinda hard to learn. He is a slow pusher with his turrets.

Janna(1350ip/585rp)

A good support with alot of CC.

Vayne(6300ip/975rp)

Hard to farm with her, but once you start to farm and get kills she gets really really powerful

Wukong(6300ip/975rp)

Normally played at solo top, has a great ulti , not so used in ranked.

Urgot(3150ip/585rp)

Just had a nerf, but he really is the master of harassment! A fun champion to play, give it a try.

Kassadin(3150ip/975rp)

Usually played at Mid. He is considered the counter of AP carries. Has great mobility but often banned.

Whirling Death in action

Draven Art Spotlight , the Brother of Darius

Here we have the brother of Darius, DRAVEN.

It seems to me that he his going to be an AD carry, like Sivir he seems to throw his swords.

Let's see what we have, another incredibly strong champion like his brother is?
