A treat to the other Touhou fans out there. I was bored so I made one of the characters into a champion.


Komachi - Ferry of the Departed Souls

Hi guys! I'm here to teach some beginners or even mediocre junglers effective jungle starts.

The most standard start right now is to start at the big buff near bot. (Red on Blue side, Blue on purple side).

Blue side Start 1 (Giving top lane xp advantage):
1) Take wraiths with the assistance of your bottom lane duo. Give wolves to top and get mid to help him.
1a) You could also start with small golems if your wraiths have been warded and you want to be unexpected. Get your bot lane duo to help you and give wolves to your top with the help of your mid.
2) Take red buff with the help of your bot lane. Don't use Smite.
3) Go to blue buff and solo it + smite it.
4) Gank top or mid.
5) Back / Gank again.

Hey guys, Lasty here back again with my weekly Diamond Jungle thoughts. Today I'm going to take 2 champions and 2 items and explain why you should NEVER build/play them.

First off lets jump into a discussion on the two DO NOT PLAY champions, drum-roll please....Shaco and Shyvana! Those of you familiar with my AMA will know how much I dislike those 2 champions and for those that missed it I'll explain why below.

Shaco: Shaco, despite the stealth falls into that grey area of being a melee ad carry. Unfortunately as we've seen with Tryndamere and Fiora melee adcs are in a really rough spot right now. Unlike Tryndamere that has some longevity thanks to his ult and Fiora that can go untargetable, Shaco only has deceive which can be completely mitigated by a 400 gold oracles. Shaco does absolutely nothing late game besides split push. He's next to useless in a team fight. Shaco also needs between 4-5 kills early game to really be effective enough to split push late game. When the …

Hello! Click it for a bigger picture to analyze it.

The purpose of this graphic is to outline the attributes of some common mid choices. This isn't a tier list, and one champion isn't better than another based on these facts. This is just here to show you where champions fall.

This shows how much utility champs have and if they are burst casters, sustained damage casters, or a bit of both. If you have any questions, ask them belooooooooow

This is a new series I'm trying input is welcome and encouraged ^^

Draft pick. The serious game type for league of legends in which ranked and pro games are played. Now the biggest part of draft is the picks and bans before the game. In this phase you are able to ban out champions you don't want to see and take champions from the enemy you don't want them on. However many Lol players see draft simply as a first come first served role type of gameplay. Today I will be talking about the things you should factor into your mind when picking a good team composition.



You know those games you are up on the enemy team and are much stronger in a fight but your team just can't seem to get on the enemy team. Well more often than not this is due to the fact your team lacks a good initiation. Initiation will serve as the primary way to start a fight and depending on how your team initiates could be the difference between an easy fight and a crushing defeat. Picking champions …

These Blogs are back. Im going to be reworking my top guide over the summer into 2 seperate guides one for champs and one for mechanics. As such I will be blogging about champs again (pretty much the ones since I stopped blogging/reworks). I figured I would start with Sej since she just got reworked and Ive seen alot of potential with her.


Sejuani is an tank/AP bruiser type of champion. She excels at CCing foes as well as initiating fights. She also rides on a boar =3. In the top lane She has the ability to deal a decent amount of trade damage to the enemies. Sejuani will scale as a tank for your team with a good initiate from a long range while still being able to peel for your carry at the same time if needed. Sejuani is strongest against champions who are in close range and use physical attacks due to the nature of her kit.

Passive: Frost Armor- Damaging an enemy with an ability or basic attack grants Sejuani 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 bonus armo…

So for those of you that don't know me my name is Lasty. I'm a Diamond Jungler, and I've recently become active in the Mobafire community. I'd like to start doing a weekly jungle blog. This will be the first entry, each week I'll take a popular jungle topic and offer my opinions on it.

This week we are going to look at the Sejuani and Trundle re-works. Lets start with Trundle because his position is a bit more clear than Sejuanis at the moment.

Trundle: The reason why Riot felt the need to re-work Trundle is because he didn't really fit the current jungle meta very well. He was single target so he never really had a fast clear. His ganks have always been fairly weak especially without red buff. So they re-worked him and changed virtually nothing. The changes look like buffs on paper, but in-fact they are pretty negligible. They gave him %health damage on his ult then took away the tenacity on his W. They gave his Pillar a bit more displacement and now it interrupts channel…

Trinity force + Zephyr gives more movespeed than any boots(apart from mobility boots out of combat, but even then this combination should be able to closely compete with them).


Zephyr gives tenacity. Zephyr gives attack speed.
