FOTM OP

A female Melee AD Carry!?

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0000

That's right. Fiora is to join the ranks of Yi and Tryn as Physical damage carries. As a fencer, speed and agility, rather than brute strength, are her main traits and she uses them to disembowel her enemies.

Abilities:
Duelist (passive) - Fiora regenerates health over 6 seconds each time she deals damage. Striking champions will cause this effect to stack up to 4 times.

Lunge - Fiora dashes forward to strike her target, dealing physical damage. Fiora can perform the dash a second time within a couple seconds at no mana cost.

Riposte - Fiora's Attack Damage is increased. When activated, Fiora parries the next basic attack and reflects magic damage back to the attacker. Works against champions, monsters, and large minions.

Burst of Speed - Fiora temporarily gains additional Attack Speed. Each basic attack or Lunge she lands during this time increases her Movement Speed. Killing a champion refreshes the cooldown on Burst of Speed.

Blade Waltz (ultimate) - Fiora dashes around the battlefield to deal physical damage to enemy champions. Successive strikes against the same target deal less damage.

As you can see, she's very speedy, and she looks quite fun. I hate to admit it, but this is another insta-buy for me.

Another Ahri Song

I like this one even better than the last. Enjoy!

I know I've been neglecting this site a lot, but I've got a ton on my plate with http://www.youlaughyoulose.net currently. I'm almost finished with what I've got to do there though, so I should be back to full capacity soon! :)

A League Valentine's day.

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:16:00 +0000

A lady-friend of mine drew this for me for Valentine's Day and couldn't wait until then to send it to me.

Even though she misspelled 'health', I thought this was pretty awesome. "Have you seen my bare tibbers?" "I thought you'd never pick me!"

Also, sorry for the neglect, my smurf is almost 30 :>

Face lift!

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 06:48:00 +0000

We've gotten a facelift! There are some dead links, and stock photos to fix, but overall, the site will be much better now. Pretty happy :D

E3 and SOPA - Why I will not be attending.

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 01:10:00 +0000

This video explains it all. The ESA, the lobbying arm behind the gaming industry, supports SOPA/PIPA. It does this even though a majority of game developers stand against both bills. An interesting subfact is that the ESA makes a lot of money from E3.

So while I was planning on attending, this year I will not be. Or, ever again really, until the ESA pulls it's support from SOPA.

Will you do the same? Will you petition your favorite game company to join your boycott?

You can sign this petition, directed at the ESA, to help them change their stance:

There's also a forum thread on the LoL general forums, asking Riot to boycott E3:

New Holiday, New Skins!

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:23:00 +0000

Riot invented a New Holiday for the Champions of Summoner's Rift. Personally, I feel it's just another Halmark Holiday to get us to by some skins, but the Holiday did some with some really cool skins. I know, this holiday happened while I personally was on holiday, so I'm sure you've already seen them if you wanted to, but I can't help but post them.

Dragonblade Talon (who has new projectile art)

Goqin Sona (who has new sounds)

Jade Dragon Wukong (new spell effects!)

Dragonfist Lee Sin (has new animations!)

I really like that Talon. I might have to buy it, as a Talon main myself.

You Laugh You Lose!

You Laugh You Lose Facebook Logo

Hey guys, I don't know if you know, but FOTM OP is sponsored by That Blank Media. Long story short, TBM has recently launched a new comedy website, and asked me to share it. YouLaughYouLose.Net is a pretty funny website that posts great images from around the net. I personally enjoy it, and even submitted a few of the pictures myself.

I'm not too great at plugs. I hope this satisfies my overlords. But seriously, check 'em out, pump their social buttons a few times for me, and drop some "FOTMOP is awesome" comments in their comments box. :)

If LoL was Streetfighter...

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 05:06:00 +0000

Ever wonder what LoL would look like if it was actually Street Fighter? This video answers that question, with awesome.

Also, I'm back from my little holiday. :)

Charmed by Ahri - LoL song

It's rare that I enjoy a song about a game, but this one I like a lot. It was really well done, kudos!

Warwick - Lanewick guide!

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:25:00 +0000

(Continued from Warwick - Lanewick build!)

Alright. So, you've decided to give my topwick a chance.

Take your pick of:

I usually run Ignite/Heal

Flash: positioning for ults / escape
Ignite: secure a kill / proc bloodscent for speed
Heal: bait a dive / keep you alive
Teleport: dragon control / free returns

This will be your item core:

Very fun.

Every item is dual purposed.

Every item there serves a dual purpose. They all increase both sustain/survivability and damage. Mpen increase Q damage, which increases the heal. Malady increases attack speed (for more passive use), while providing mpen for the Q. Sunfire gives the armor and health needed to soak, while increasing DPS. With all that Mpen, the Sunfire really starts to hurt, and the ult forces their carry to sit in sunfire damage while fully stacking malady. The Wriggles gives armor, attack damage, life steal, and free wards: lane forever mode

A typical build order for is Boots+pots, wriggles, sorc, malady, sunfire.

After that, build depending on team comp. Shurelya's Reverie, Banshee's Veil and Spirit Visage all make great 5th items. Atma's is a great 6th, especially when they're AD heavy.

Your Runes:

I love this page.

Reds: Magic Pen* (Alt: Flat AD)
Yellows: Armor (Alt: Health per level)
Blues: Magic resists (Alt: CDR)
Quints: Move Speed* (Alt: Magic Pen)

*Highly recommended.

Your Masteries:

These aren't as strict. The only required mastery, is Arcane Knowledge. Magic Pen is the most important stat to topwick.

My favorite alternative is 9/21/0, being sure to grab Initiator and Mercenary in defense. You should tag many assists with your W, much free gold. Move speed is incredibly important for Warwick.

The Skill Order:

Q: take at 1, max by 9.
W: take at 3, max last.
E: take at 2, max by 13.
R: point at every opportunity.

Alright, so you've got the set up.
Now, how you play it? The premise is simple. Warwick's kit has high base damage that doesn't really scale well with items. His Q does damage based on his targets max hp, OR Base+AP, so building AP isn't that strong because until very high amounts of AP it will be doing % damage anyway. His ultimate deals magic damage, applies on hit effects (which are magic damage) but scales with physical damage. So, his two main sources of damage are magic, and neither of them scale logically. This leaves us with one DPS choice: Magic Pen.

So, you're top lane, and ready to get that magic pen.
For the first few levels, you're going to need to just last hit, and avoid exchanges. Do your best to avoid spending mana until level 5. Rank 3 Q is when you become a real terror. Exchanging is now ill advised for most opponents, as you will heal back most of what they can do to you in a single Q. Start to bully them. Keep them right around half health until you hit 6. Hit 6, Q > Ult > Ignite > Q. Kill.

Your job?
For the most part, it is your job to lock-down the most dangerous target on the enemy team. You are also to soak a lot of damage, and provide two excellent bits of utility to your team. Attack speed, and vision on low health enemies.

Viktor officially announced!

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 08:07:00 +0000

Still looks freakin' sick

Well, he's officially been announced now. I'm really glad he's the next champion, all of the leaks got me a little hyped about him. Haha.

If you're curious to see him in action, check out this sneak-peak: Viktor sneak peak

New champion, Viktor. Game play and commentary.

noreply@blogger.com (Breaku) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 06:02:00 +0000

Well, the commentary is a little weak. But, this champion looks pretty sweet. Very different, very new, I can't wait for him to come out.

Edit: Viktor*

Minecraft Chogath!

Ahri Patch - Mistletoe LeBlanc In game

I don't like this one as much as the Gangplank skin, but it still isn't bad.
