League of Legends: A change of line-up

I announced a while ago that my current League of Legends line-up was: Kassadin, Veigar,Teemo and Rammus. Now, I've had a change of heart and decided to change it up a little. 


I decided firstly to drop playing Kassadin altogether as the way I was building him was wrong and I don't think he'd be any good built the recommended way and he'd also be a bit boring after that.


Secondly I don't really play Teemo anymore, since my friends complain he's overpowered (To be honest he is a little bit) and boring to play as since kills are kind of easy to come across when playing as him. Veigar I do still play as, but not as much as I used to. The main reasons behind this are my friend has recently decided to use him and I don't like sharing my characters as well as the fact I've played as him too much and got bored of him.


Rammus still stays in my old line-up as he isn't used that much and is a very good initiator in battle and can tank a lot of damage and still deal some when built correctly. He is also a fun character in my books to play as, mainly because of his Powerball ability and his waddle.


The characters I'm going to be adding to my line-up are as follows: Master-Yi, Blitzcrank and Kennen although I haven't unlocked Blitzcrank and Kennen yet I still want to play as them.


Firstly, Master-Yi is a character I purchased because he is cheap and used by pretty much everyone in the League of Legends community and I wanted to give him a try. He will be my melee damage output character and general OverPowered character in my line-up and I have already bought a skin for him, so he'll stay in my line-up. 


Blitzcrank I've have the pleasure of playing as through the Weekly-Rotation and I always have fun while playing with him. Building him as a tanky damage dealer seems to be effective. Also using his Rocket Grab ability to yank enemy champions into your turrets at early levels for maximum damage is always fun. Also, for the same reason as Rammus - His walk is awesome.


Kennen on the other hand, I have had no play-time with and have re-watched his champion spotlight multiple times and he does look like a good replacement for Teemo. He is a fast ninja character with shurikens and lightening. What more could you want?


I might try and purchase some Riot Points to speed up the process of gathering these players, followed by getting some runes and setting up masteries (Something a level 15 should really be doing) 


I will hopefully be recording some gameplay of mine with some commentary over it, something I want to do with all the games I start playing. I will probably start it off with small Dominion games on League of Legends and then transition into recording Summer's Rift games and speeding them up slightly of something.


Thank you for reading and I'll try and keep you updated throughout the week!

Why I enjoy Batman Arkham City

I received a PC upgrade recently so my PC is now capable of running pretty much anything at maximum settings.  I also received a copy of Batman: Arkham City. I enjoyed Batman: Arkham Asylum for all the wrong reasons - The Riddler puzzles.

This trend of mine continues in Arkham City, but I do enjoy much more. Firstly, running around Arkham Asylum you didn't have many places to go. The main objective was the only thing going on at the time as well as the Riddler puzzles scattered around the map and some weren't collectible until the end of the game.

However, Akrham City has a lot of extra side-missions and the ability to Free-Roam around the City. As well as collecting Riddler trophies, of course. The graphics for this game are something that work well for the genre and the play-style. It's dark - Which goes very well with the stealth section in the game. The quality of graphics in the game and astonishing (Only comparable with Skyrim and Rage in my opinion) The controls on PC are much more easier to use than I also first expected, another plus I suppose.

I have been dying to play the Batman game for some time and am thankful that I have received it. The things I enjoy more are the bigger map and the extra side quests. The ability to scan Riddler puzzles is also a treat, although they shown up in Arkham Asylum on your map anyway.

I still need to play through the rest of this game, and I do intent to (As long as I don't get stuck into Skyrim, Rage, Dead Rising 2 or Fallout New Vegas) which will be a little hard to do. In further Blog posts I hope to gather screenshots of the game and explain why it's so awesome, failing that? I'll record some game play and throw some commentary on top of it.

Lastly, before I end this post I am thrilled to see old DC Universe characters come back into the fray, as Arkham Asylum didn't have that many (If memory serves well) and that's only with 8 hours current play time. I can't wait to discover more...

An Introduction To League Of Legends

I know this Blog post is late, and I mean very late. But I have been busy with other work to do with college.

Lets talk about League of Legends and what I enjoy about it. I don't know what it is that got me hooked on this game. Perhaps it was the new genre of game I was venturing into, I'm not quite sure. All I know is my friend recommended it to me as it recently became Free-To-Play (F2P) Which made it more attractive for me.

The game-play itself was defiantly something new to me, I had played  multiple First Person Shooters, RTS and more than a fair share of hours in Guild Wars (A MMORPG) But this was something completely new to me and I was eager to start playing.

The game is basically a 5v5 game, minions spawn and you have to attack a total of 3 towers in each lane (There are three lanes) And 2 more turrets guarding the main Nexus. Your goal is to destroy the Nexus. It's a mixture of attack/defend which I find quite enjoyable.

I started off as the character "Ryze" a magic character in which I had to focus on ability power to strengthen his spells (Or something along those lines, I just buy recommended items and hope for the best). I have now transitioned away from playing as Ryze and now play as the 4 main Heroes that I have chosen. The Heroes I use are: Kassadin, Veigar,Teemo and Rammus.

There aren't many downsides to this game, apart from the long lasting games (Up to an hour in some cases) Although I haven't played full PvP (I just play vs AI) the games can still be long.

I still need to practise this game a lot. Since you have a lot of different items and characters can be built different ways. (Like I build Kassadin to have a high attack damage and speed) which goes kind of well...

I'll keep reporting on how I'm doing, nothing will be positive though. I do have wins on my account playing PvP, but they were my friend playing...

More in-depth Blogs to come, thank you for reading.
