Play what you like, not what others want you to play (Game 11)

Game 11 - WIN (Overall Stats since Blog-Start: 10-1)
Current League : Silver V (Won Series now, promoted to Silver III)
Played Champion:  Nidalee (Support)







Play what you like, not what others want you to play:

I am and ever will be the worst support possible. But with a Champion that i really enjoy playing (Nidalee) i could do my best and had a lot of fun with it.

Always try to play what you like, if it fits into the lineup. Because if you have fun in a game, you will automatically play better. Also if you play with Heroes you're used to, you will play better aswell. 


In this game:

I played her like a huge AP Nuking Support Nidalee. I warded the whole map while managing to get a few AP Items. 

DONT DO THIS IN HIGH LEVEL PLAY, IT WON'T WORK.

The Creep/Gank Decision (Game 10)





Game 10 - WIN (Overall Stats since Blog-Start: 9-1)
Current League : Silver V ( Promotion 1-0)
Played Champion:  Zac ( Jungle )

Game Stats: 

The Creep/Gank Decision:

Now this is something you get a taste of in thousands of games. It's basically what differs a pro and a really good player. 

Everytime you run to another Lane to gank or join a gank you have to consider that you lost gold due to not creeping. Now here its getting complicated, unless you know you will definitely get a good Gank off (Helping your Teammates by forcing any1 back, helping them win their lane or even getting a kill) it's not worth to creep at all. I'm having a lot of trouble to do that since i started playing LoL because i cant judge the situations as good as i could in HoN, but this is getting better from Game 2 Game. 

So basically just keep in mind:

Is it worth trying to gank that bastard, will it help our Team to win? Am i sure about that?

The Asshole Strat (Game 9)

Game 9 - WIN (Overall Stats since Blog-Start: 8-1)
Current League : Silver V (Qualified for Series)
Played Champion:  Zac ( Jungle )

Game Stats: 





The Asshole Strat:

It's basically something i played in a lot of my competitive HoN Games. You basically play like an asshole. 


It's all about Teamfights. I played a Tanky-DPS Style Zac. Nothing unusual, i go in first cause i have hp as fuck right? Wrong. I come in at last, when everyone is clustered and has his Spells used.

This is good for several Reasons.

1) Everyone has calculated that he will live because no one is expecting anymore DMG Output. You can now roflstomp them.
2) A lot of red hped bastards are now just waiting for you to instagib them. 
3) You will turn the whole fight around and your team loves you.

Ofcourse you have to make sure your whole team doesn't get comboed that easily and dies before you do anything. In this game though they had Nasus (without THAT much dmg goign Tanky) Volibear (Tankybuild) Lulu (Support). 3 Heroes which don't deal massive amounts of damage, so i could do my asshole strat. If they have 3+ Damagedealing Heroes this won't work.

This is pretty standard on a few Heroes like Kata, where you wait till they have their Disables out, but coming from unusual Heroes like Zac this is a pretty surprising Strat IN LOWLEVEL Play.

A normal game. (Game 8)

Game 8 - WIN (Overall Stats since Blog-Start: 7-1)

How to lose (Game 7)

Game 7 - LOSE (Overall Stats since Blog-Start: 6-1)
Current League : Silver V (47 LP)
Played Champion:  Amumu (Jungle)

Fuck that Game. We had intentional feeders and enemies were Diamond Smurfs. I tabbed out and ran in sometimes. Nothing 2 say here.

Play what you're not used to! (Game 6)

Game 6 - WIN (Overall Stats since Blog-Start: 6-0)
Current League : Silver V (57 LP)
Played Champion:  Zed ( Jungle )

Game Stats: 




Play what you're not used to:

This was my first Zed Game ever. I'm also not the best jungler either, i've been playing Mid for 6 years in different Games.. (DotA, HoN) But it's important to play something like this aswell, so you know how to go up against it aswell. Some people play unusual things for years and are really good at it and will surprise and own you.

Positioning! (Game 5)

Take one for the Team! (Game 4)

Game 5 - WIN (Overall Stats since Blog-Start: 5-0)
Current League : Silver V (28LP)
Played Champion: Fiddlesticks (Jungle)

Game Stats: 













Positioning:
This is a thing you learn over YEARS of gaming but there are a few tips which may make it easier for you to learn. 
Obviously you should try to position yourself to get the highest damage output. But this would be in the middle of everyone. So you have to think about how much damage you can take and position yourself like that. I will do Fiddlesticks as example.

I'm playing him like a really high damage glas cannon. I can take no damage at all, but i dish out so much i can teamfight alone if i didn't have that HP Problem. So i have to position myself very far from everyone, wait till the Fight is going 4-5 seconds and then i port myself in with Ult and Flash turning the Fight completely. This is absolutely no Problem in LOWLEVEL Play, harder on MIDLEVEL Play and possible on HIGHLEVEL Play.

For Tankheroes and/or Heroes with HIGH Hp and Survivability you can go in First, and run out at Half or 1/3 Hp. This will make them want to get the kill on your thus losing their position and getting vulnerable. Also try to protect your teammates so sneaky Heroes won't catch your glas cannons.

To sum it up:

Tank as much DMG as you need, even as low hp hero, while dishing out as much Damage and supporting your Mates as much as you can. SPLIT THE DAMAGE.
