•                  Hello fellow bloggers.I haven't blogged in a while because i was busy with Uni but now i can finally pick it up again.So i just transfered my League of Legends account from EU-W to EU-NE and it was a huge mistake i think. The ammount of trolls and bad players is so high i dropped from 1860 to 1650 in 2 weeks.Now i started picking up elo again and i am slowly rising.I hope i can reach at least 2k-2.1k by the end of the summer. 

•                  My favourite streamer The Rain Man has been trying out for MTW-NA in the ''GGChronicle Tournament'' This week and he did great in the games he played.I hope they pick him up because i miss seeing TRM in the competitive scene meng.

•                 It also seems NintendudeX was kicked by TD today and replaced with Atlanta.You can find the thread with the full discussion here : http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/wntma/nintendudex_kicked_from_td_replaced_by_atlanta/

''The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority.''-Dunning-Kruger Effect

I stumbled across the Dunning-Kruger effect on the internet a few days ago and i realized that it can actually apply pretty well to the
concept of ELO hell in League of Legends besides the purposes it has in real life.


First of all i agree that it is possible to lose games where you are doing great and your team just feeds and refuses to play good/trolls.But there's an equal
chance you may get win even if you are playing bad because the opposing team has one troll or just plays bad.So according to this if you ACTUALLY are good sooner or later you'll get out of elo hell.

Now the second problem is there are way too many bads that believe they are good because they watched some streams and know what the current meta is.

Most of the times they are actually the reason their team is losing because they will not play at their proper level,they will disconsider teammates because they believe they are indeed good and will just act bad/flame throughout the game.

The illusory superiority of themselves is actually the reason they are in elo hell.

                   You hate that game in which you are playing good, but that Yi is just too fed.Nothing you can do to that Mordekaiser that will just decimate your entire team alone?That Katarina will press R and kill your entire team.Here is a list of how to counter pubstompers while leveling and at level 30 plus some champions that counter them pretty hard.

#1 Pubstomper ''es numero uno en BR'' Mordekaiser

Mordekaiser is a pretty decent hero and if left uncontrolled he can farm a lot plus if he gets a few kills he will snowball so hard there's nothing you can doto stop him.Even in ranked lots of people have trouble with the giant metal master Mordekaiser.
Mordekaiser is an ap carry/tanky ap/tank type of character with a decimating ultimate.

*Items that counter Mordekaiser:
-Hardest counter to Mordekaiser is magic resistance.Everything you can get your hands on will do wonders against him.
-Quicksilver sash is Absolutely AMAZING and works wonders against the Master of Metal:You use your ultimate on me?K ill just press 1 and cleanse it.
-Mercurial treads,Banshee and Force of Nature are also great choices against Mordekaiser.

One of Mordekaiser's weaknesses is that he is very weak if he gets ganked early on.He is very prone to ganks l because of no innate escape,so if he wastes his flash just go and destroy him.

As well if you are fighting him 1v1 fight him AFTER your creep wave is dead so he wont get full shield just by using AoE.

If you feed Mordekaiser he will develop into a great beast that will eat you,your teammates and your family but if you counter him early on,gank him a lot and you don't let him farm he will remain a metal toy.
-Udyr.
*Garen.After the buffs Garen top counters Mordekaiser so hard its not even fun.If you deny his creeps and won't let him farm and buy armor you sill simply burst him in seconds.




#2 Tryndamere the Barbarian

You hate it when that fed Tryndamere 2 shots your entire team and when you almost kill him he ults,kills you too and then just gets away.Yea i hate it too.But you can counter that pretty easy by not letting him get fed/farm. Generally this concept applies to everyone.Not farmed=pretty much useless. The question is how to deny him the farm.Well that's pretty easy.Tryndamere is countered by two things: Crowd Control and Ignite.

Crowd control counters Tryndamere so hard its not even fun.He ults?Okay you taunt him and wait till ult is out.He ults?okay drop stun tibbers + igniteon him and he dies.

*Tryndamere is countered by armor especially by Thornmail so if you are a tank/bruiser DO GET thornamil and stomp on Tryndamere.

Champions that counter Tryndamere:
-Anyone with a CC,silence.

#3 Master Yi


Yey the samurai that Presses R and Right Click to win.Hard to counter?Nah,pretty easy actually.He is almost the same thing as Tryndamere only that he doesn't have an ultimate that makes him invulnerable.So CC counters him EVEN MORE.Besides being incredibly squishy YI is also hard countered by exhaust because
his main damage comes from Autoattack.In case he will build Quicksilver Sash to cleanse it your team has to focus him as fast as possible because he can decimate an entire team pretty fast if left unchecked.

*Yi is countered by armor and stuns as hard as tryndamere is.

Champions that counter Master Yi:
-Anyone with a Brain.

                     So after seeing some costumes and League of Legends cosplay at Gamescon i decided to search the interwebz and see if i find more.Here are some absolutely AMAZING costumes with lots of detail.Found most of them browsing deviantART.Credits go to the guys that made/wore them.
                                       Nurse Akali.Found it on deviantART.
                                        Kitty Cat Katarina, by Mlaeyeu.
                    Leblanc.She looks pretty tough, Noxian baddie.Credits go to Mlaeyeu.

        
            So like everyone heard ranked season 1 will end at the end of august,probably at the same time dominion is released.
            RiotMarcou made a post on the League of Legends NA forums about the rewards you get by rating score.Besides the Fact that everyone that played 10 ranked games will get a Kayle skin here are the rating rewards:           

• Bronze-rated players will receive a bronze banner in their summoner profile.
• Silver-rated players will have their summoner icon framed in silver and receive a silver banner in their summoner profile.
• Gold-rated players will have their summoner icon framed in gold and will receive a special skin for Jarvan IV, a gold banner in their summoner profile, and a gold forum badge.
• Platinum-rated players will have their summoner icon framed in platinum and will receive a special skin for Jarvan IV, a platinum banner in their summoner profile, and a platinum forum badge.

          I am currently sitting at around 1380 elo and it is my task to get to 1500 in the following two weeks so i can get the silver-rating rewards.If i focus a lot i think i can do it.


        Every post of mine will end in a small tip from now on.Today's tip is: Don't take Perseverence in the masteries support tree anymore.Good hands is way better.Even if you think you don't die you rarely end with 0 deaths in a game.And those few seconds can matter late game.
Even if Good Hands is not an amazing mastery Perseverence is plain useless

Level 3 of Perseverance gives you 4% increased HP and MP regeneration.Once you get 100HP or MP/5, you will gain additional 4 HP or MP /5. Not even 1 mp/5.

            Since i am in summer holiday and i have nothing to do i played loads of LoL today.Almost got my elo at 1400.Got so many trolls i felt as helpless as Hermione was in that bathroom while i raged hard :(.Anyway all is good.Slowly climbing trough the elo hell although it seems in 2 weeks ELO will reset and we will say hello to season 2.
            After the new patch people seem to think Pantheon is overpowered again and he's banned like mad.Didn't get a chance to play him but i played against a few times and he seemed fine,Nasus is in my opinion at the moment a really good jungle and that Skarner,the new ugly scorpion champ is so underpowered it's not even fun.He is like Yorick at release.Anyway that's it for today.Peace!

            Last night continued to drink like a sore loser.Ended up being drunk and went to bed at @ 2:00 a.m.After 12 hours of sleep i felt terrible and had a bad hangover all day.
