Last Days

As this will be the last posting I want to talk about my experience this semester. This semester I feel like I have grown mentally. At work I have elevated myself to a higher position. In school I feel like I have gotten better at not procrastinating. Though if you look at the dates I post you still see I waited till the last minute to post. Online classes I feel can be more beneficial than physical classes. You have to stay on task and make sure to check daily tasks. If you don't you will miss assignments or even fall behind. My first online class was so easy yet I failed. ICS 101 was the class . But I thought I could wait till the last minute and I failed. Now I am better at doing assignments. I want to note that I will be leaving here learning not only knowing communication skills but I will also come out knowing I am more reliable.

Ranked

I think I might have been over confident since I been losing more than winning. My win/loss ratio is at a 66% win rate decreasing from 78%. It makes me sad since I was so close to reaching Gold. Now I wonder if I will be able to reach gold. For now I will take a break from ranked and cool off before I lose more League Points. There is a term in league when a person has a losing streak. When that happens one of several things can happen. First which is the most common is that you will keep losing dropping in League points. Second you can chance it and keep playing hoping that the streak will end. Or the third which is take a break from league and hope things change. League of Legends is not only about strategy it is also about the mindset of the player and the team. Losing plays a huge psychological mind game on the player. There was a video I saw which showed why normals are easier than ranked, for one there is a challanger mindset which puts something on the line in Leagues case it would be League Points. In normals nothing really matters.

Hello Audience,

Today I will talk about my rank memories of the week. It was a fun ride this week went from silver 4 to silver 2. So I have made a huge stride in gaining my way to at least gold. hopefully I can at least get gold by the end of the season. Even if I cannot get gold I will be happy that I made it to silver. Being in bronze for the most of 2 seasons is not fun. For several reasons bronze gets a bad rap for being the AAA of the e-sports world. Even lower than that.A common joke in LoL about bronze or "bad players" is " what are you wood 5 player?". Is it only bronze that suck so bad they have to come up with a make believe teir to insult them?No. Bronze player usually don't have the mechanic like last hitting, knowing each champion match up. And map awareness. NA(North America) is know as the weakest regions. Asian teams usually have better strategies as a whole that crush other regions.  Though NA was strong in the past now they are a laughing joke.

League of Legends Regionals

Right now Cloud 9 is the commanding team in the NA LCS with TSM(My favorite team) in second place. I feel that TSM could have taken regionals but made a whole lot of mistakes in the game against Cloud 9. Even against their match with CLG, TSM showed their weaknesses. If they do not step up their game they will not have a fun time at the world championship. Although TSM made it to the championship, they will most likely have to go in the groupstage again. What the group stage is is like a round robin where everyone competes with everyone to get into the quarter finals. Hopefully TSM comes out strong, TSM  does not have a strong track record with any of the foreign teams, so the task looks daunting. What is even more saddening is that TSM usually had the strong votes when asked who do you think will win. but now it is now as strong. Everyone would chant. TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!TSM!!

Ranked week

I played a huge amount of ranked games this week and I am glad to say I finally made it to silver. I can no longer be associated with bronze. Although I am still low on the totem pole I am climbing higher to reach my goal of one day becoming a diamond tier player. How did I accomplish silver? It took alot of time to slowing get the mechanics down. One thing that will make anyone a better player is knowing the champion. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses will help in your favor. The you will know when to go in and when to play it safe. League is mostly strategy so knowing the opponent is half the battle. If anything I felt over the years I learned little by little on how to over come the weaknesses of the champions and turn them into strengths. Such as Anivia, Anivia is a slow and fragile bird. But her passive rebirth allows her to comeback to life without giving the enemy any kills. So baiting can turn her fragile feature into a strength,

Emulators

Emulators have nothing to do with League of Legends, but it is also the reason I am not talking about LoL this week. This week I have played with old games such as Pokemon and Digimon. I loved those games as a kid, back when there was dial up. I loved those days , now days we are stuck in a virtual world. Which is pretty ironic since Digimon is also Digi(Digital) mon(Monsters). All this gameplay the characters experience happens in the digital world. I loved it also because it was a game with High replay value. What is high replay value? Well to say it simply a games replay value is dependent on the level of replay one can go through after beating the game. so if a game is exciting and has alot of content the replay value will probably be high.

Current Meta

In  LoL the current Meta is a huge role in what people play. For example, last season the meta was all about the tanky champions.  This current meta the jungle plays a huge role in deciding the meta. right now we are all about the assassins. How is the Meta decided? Everytime Riot creates a new patch/ change the meta could change. This season the Meta had changed because the creators buffed the jungle and support allowing the to gain gold easier. Riot is always trying to balance the game out. Last season they took a look at supports and junglers and saw they never reached their late game goals since they always soaked up gold to buy wards. So this is a good thing Meta changing means the game is evolving.
