Darius, the Hand of Noxus

Riot has gave us a sneak peek to the new champion Darius.  http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=24308871#post24308871. Just by looking at the picture you can tell he is a bruiser or a tank. For sure a new top lane champion. Not much else to say but he sort of looks like a noxian equivalent to Garen. He just reminds me a bit of garen. They are both bruisers but from different "nations".

Not really anything else to say. I can't really see anything else to talk about him so I will talk a bit about Diablo 3. I was pretty pissed off how it was down for so damn long on the launch date. It was very disappointing. But so far it is a pretty good game I got to play for about two hours yesterday and I enjoyed it. If you do not have Diablo 3 you should consider getting it because it is a great game :).

a new change.

 I want to show you guys this "New Change" it has been something that we all have been asking for and riot has came through http://i.imgur.com/SwIRd.jpg. The creep score is now shown in the top right corner near your kills and deaths. No need to hit tab and find your self to look at your creep score. This is a great addition I can not wait to look at my creep score lol.

Also I have seen pictures of the new summoners rift and it looks really good. The dirt looks really good lol. Towers looks good. Everything looks good.

Summoner's Rift New look

Summoner's Rift is getting a new look. It is only for 

players who play on mid or low graphic settings. Here is the post http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=24273847#post24273847. Just a few fixes like updating textures and fixing animations. But the sickest part of this patch has to be the new ANIMATED shop keeper. This guy really needs this. He has been helping all of summoners out by selling us his trinities forces and his bloodthirster and keeping us alive with his potions. Looking at this picture 

He looks like teemo's brother or something lol. his had is almost alike just different color. I think it is teemo in disguise wearing a beard lol. I am glad he is starting to get some of the spotlight he is an important part of the game after all.

My thoughts on this whole update is really it is not going to do much to keep the Diablo III players playing LoL. Hehe that is what I think that this whole update is about.

So who else is staying up and playing Diablo III even though AP testing is still going on xD???

Varus patch is not this week.

Varus is unfortunately not coming out this week. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=23801309#post23801309. As shown by this post only spectator mode will be released this week. But most likely Varus will be released next week. Varus is probably not going to be released this week because they want to make sure there is not as many bugs as the Hecarim patch :p. We got 10 win boosts out of that so it was not to bad. At least this time we should be able to expect a safer patch, by safer I mean less bugs. So if you have been looking for Varus, like me, you gonna have to wait a week. Or you could get PBE. Public Beta Environment. It allows you to test patches. Here is the link if you want to check it out. It is free and does not require anything http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1490366. Just make sure you submit any bugs if you see anything :).

That is all guys. Have a nice day. :) good luck with ap testing if you are in high school :P I know I am going to need it.

Making a smurf? Help a brother out lol Play LoL

Athene's Unholy Grail- New League of Legends item

A new item has been seen on the patch notes for PBE (public beta environment). It is called Athene's Unholy Grail (Probably named after the famous gamer Athene :P). It is a item for ap champions. It stats are found here http://leaguecraft.com/news/item-changes-in-the-upcoming-patch-varus-185.xhtml. Scroll down a bit and you will see it. As you can see it is built from a chalice of harmony so you will have tons of mana regen. It also has some ap and some mr and a pretty sick passive. It restores 12% of your mana when getting a kill or assist. Now imagine that in a team fight.... lol, as long as you stay alive in that fight and get a couple of assist/kills you will not be out of mana. The problem that I see for this item is it is only good for champions that really need the mana regen. Champions like swain or galio. Other than that it a okay item. To me it looks like a blue buff (with some extra stats) on in item. So if you need the mana regen this would be a great item other than that it is alright.

A buggy League of Legends

After the Hecarim patch League of Legends has been experiencing a whole lot of bugs. Some of these bugs include http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=23431675#post23431675. Which have been patched. There has also been a ton of lag in the servers. There was also a time where the chat was not working at all. Yesterday no many could play because of a bug where everyone crashes at the loading screen and gets a bug splat message. It sucked to say the least but now it is better.
The things that confuses me is that Riot delayed this patch for a week to fix some bugs and when it was released it was buggy. Now in riot's defense the community really wanted this patch and I believe that is why they released it earlier than intended (even though it was still late). But this caused League of Legends to still be buggy and gave people bad times. I am actually thinking that they might compensate for all the stuff that happened. I think what might have caused all these bugs is the new text. I really like the new text but because of the new text they probably would have to change a lot of things. This would cause some mistakes to occur leading to some bugs. That is my 2 cents :P even though it really is not much lol.
But it all honestly I really like the Hecarim patch. I really like the text. That is my favorite part lol. So even though is buggy it is still an enjoyable experience. Hell it might even make it better to see some invisible champions that can't even go invis. It should give a good laugh for awhile.
Now I just hope that all this gets fixed and Varus patch does not end up like this.

Varus, the Arrow of Retribution, Skills

So at PAX East Riot decided to release Varus and Hecarim. So there are a lot of videos online of these two champs and I stumbled upon one of Varus' skills http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjQo_C1PURM&feature=youtu.be. Thank you person who posted that video :3. Now I want to talk about the skills.
~His passive is if he kills a champion or gets a assist he gets 40% attack speed for 6 seconds. OP 40% is a re-curve bow :o that is a lot ad but that is not all if he kills a minion he gets 20% attack speed for 3 seconds... Now this most likely will not stack or that would be wayyy overkill. It is a good passive if you are playing as him but not a good passive if you are playing against him because he pretty much starts off with 20% attack speed :P.
~His q is a skill shot that you need to charge. Looking at the skill it looks like the huntsman from Team Fortress 2 lol. So basically the first cast charges it up. The longer you charge it the more range and damage it has. It you fail to use it within 4seconds it will fail and you get half the mana back you used. While charging up you move 20% slower. It also pierces thru more than one enemy. So this skill could be great for clearing a minion wave or dealing tons of damage to people. Great for pushing and harassing.
~His W is a passive skill. His basic attacks deal more damage and puts a little charge called blight on them it stacks 3 times. Varus' other skills will detonate this blight and deal tons of damage. No joke. It does like 2% of the champions max health *~* PER STACK. OP
~His E is a skill that does AoE damage and leaves a slow on the ground and reduces heal. I believe this might be the purple pink fire from the sneak peek. This is probably his only cc due to the fact that he is op enough already.
~His Ulti is a skill shot that binds the opponent and deals damage it then goes to the surrounding champions and does the same thing. So it is a ulti that does damage and binds. A bit like Hecarim don't you think :p also it is a bit like ashes in terms of cc.
I honestly doubt he will be put into League of Legends with skills like that seems like a bit too much. This is probably a promotional stunt by riot so people will buy him. I am probably gonna buy him looking at his stats so their promotional stunt worked :P. Well I am out hope you guys have a great Easter and or weekend!
