How to Play Graves as a Ranged AD Carry in LOL

Graves the Outlaw, a character from the online moba game, League of Legends,is one of the strongest ranged attack damage champions currently in the meta(standard) game.
The main play style of most ranged AD carries are about the same, but what makes a person average to awesome with a champion are those tiny differences you learn only by playing the champion a lot.

Are you having issues staying alive in team fights? Try this, stay in the back, wait for everyone to start the team fight, once they initiate dash in and start hitting the closest target.  If you get focused, dash out if it is up, flash out if dash is down, use your imagination.

As a ranged AD carry like graves the outlaw, you have to remember that you aren’t supposed to EVER be getting hit. I 100% believe character control and positioning are key to getting better in league of legends.

In conclusion, here are some TL:DR tips.
1. Learn positioning as a Ranged AD carry – Graves especially because of his ult and his AOE Q, he can dish out serious damage in team fights if unfocused.
2. Use dash situation-ally! Remember that dash can be used offensively or defensively, adapt its use to how the team fights are going.
3. This is kinda the same as above but save flash!  Flash can also be used offensively or defensively, it’s all about just adapting to what the enemy team is going for in team fights.

Hope these shorts tips could improve your AD carry or graves game play slightly! Keep on pwning and remember that AD carry is one of the hardest roles to play perfectly in league of legends.

How to escape ELO Hell in League of Legends Easily

First off, you have to be somewhat lucky to get out of elo hell. For example, you can’t have a boots of mobility champion with 12 farm after 25 minuets in your team, that champion, be it wukong, or miss fortune, is gotta be in the enemy team cause people like that are not possible to carry.

I have ended up with some many people that trolled and just fed intentionally but now ive finally made it out of elo hell. I have duo ques a lot but it always seem to go bad when me and my friend were playing, we always get the retards on our team and despite the fact that we win our bot lane all the time, we endup loosing the game.

So what i did was that i started playing top lane, as Lee sin mainly. Lee is probably the best champion around lvl 2-3 and you can get first blood really easy, specially when you have ignite. And since theirs facts that when a teams solo top gets first blood the chance of winning is 88%. Lets say you get an early kill or even first blood, you will rule the lane so hard that you can go down and grab dragons, gank lanes, counter jungle and pretty much do whatever you want while snowballing like crazy.

Dragons is a very easy way to win and always remember to time them so you can stand there ready to pick them up again. (6 min cool down on it, Baron is 7 min). If you counter jungle and take their red for example time that one as well (5 mins).

Ofc you don’t have to play lee sin, its just a good choice IMO. But solo top is defiantly the way to carry your team out of elo hell.

Always remember to talk a lot and to stay positive, tell people what to do and remember to be selfish, try taking all the kills you can get cause you never know if your AD carry for example that would have gotten the kill is a complete idiot that cant even use the gold properly and buys a Tiamat or something like that.

Some games you cant win just cause theirs to many trolls, but if you win your top lane grueling you will be able to help the others in the team 80% of the games to actully win. ‘

Loosing your lane will happened sometimes ofc, after you loose, think to think about what made you loose your lane and change the problem.

If you have some other thought about getting out of elo hell please post them to help the poor people trying to get out.

Moscow Five Dominating Big Tournaments in League of Legends

We’re witnessing a huge leading team change in the League of Legends professional play scene. With two beautiful tournament victories – topped by their perfect run to the IEM trophy in Hannover –- Moscow Five has elevated the game to the next level. Beyond their raw skill, solid preparation and crack timing contributed greatly to their dominating win. They arrived in Hannover ten days early to prepare for the match and it showed on the field. Other teams are beginning to realize that they must push themselves further in order to compete with the best.

One of the most heavily affected by this revelation is Team Epik, which has witnessed a recent exodus in members following the Hannover tournament. Epik first emerged shortly before the NA Regionals back in Season One and immediately made an impact. Founder and leader Dan Dinh led his crew Dyrus, Doublelift, Salce, and Westrice to a second-place finish in the Season One Regionals. That earned them a spot in the Season One Championship, where they placed a respectable fourth. While Doublelift left shortly thereafter for Team Curse (replaced by Nhat Nguyen), the remaining players formed a consistent core upon which Epik could build.

Following Moscow Five’s domination at Hannover, that changed. Following a disagreement about practice habits and strategies for improvement, SoloMid member Rainman left the team. SoloMid immediately recruited Epik’s Dyrus to fill in the gap. Dyrus shared a house with members of SoloMid, and both SoloMid and Epik share common roots on AON, so the replacement made sense. It also left Team Epik one man down… which became two men down several days later, when Dinh himself left Team Epik. Both Dinh and Dyrus had been serious League of Legends players – active since beta testing and with a substantial fan following – and created a significant hole in Team Epik’s roster. ClakyDeeee and DontMashMe quickly filled out the roster, but it remains to be seen how quickly the new team can gel. Dinh soon joined up-and-coming team 4Not, which has already seen improved results since adding Dan to the team.

Nor has Team Epik been the only team to feel the shift. After Dyrus joined the team, SoloMid acquired a coach to help them up their game – one who cites Sun Tzu in public postings and states an intention to implement curfews and eating regimens onto the team. If it sounds crazy, remember that SoloMid experienced Moscow Five’s tactics first-hand in Kiev and again in Hannover; they recognize the challenge that faces them… and every other competitive team on the circuit.

The concept of living together in shared accommodations takes on an increased focus in this equation. SoloMid’s new coach shares living space with them, as did Dyrus, whose familiarity with them presumably helped him function more efficiently as a teammate. In Korea, Counter Logic Gaming and FnaticRaidCall received invitations from OnGameNet to practice at their gaming house. The impact of such a move comes hand-in-hand with other factors, but there’s no question that living and playing together in the same quarters demonstrates an increased focus on performance. Much the way a professional baseball or football team lives and trains together in order to increase their effectiveness, League teams now look to work more cohesively as a unit.

The full impact has yet to be seen, but the shifts in these top-ranked teams indicate that many of them have come to the same conclusion. With their dominating play, Moscow Five may have heralded an end to the “casual professional” on the League of Legends circuit. Only serious teams, who devote time and resources to honing their skills, can withstand the heat on the battlefield. Fans can expect to see the action grow even more intense, with top teams executing more complex strategies and honing their timing to lethal levels. It’s a whole new game out there! Expect to feel the impact of Moscow Five’s wins for some time to come.

What is a Good Creep Score in League of Legends?

League of Legends is an awesome game, so awesome that most people strive to improve their game play.

What is the best way to get better at LoL? Creep Score / Farming Minions

Items are what make you better than your opponent, and the only way to do that consistently, is to farm creeps consistently.   You can go for a lot of ganks, and sometimes snowball, but other times the gank fails, and you die.

What are the negatives of dying? Well, for one you probably were not in your lane so you missed creeps, you gave the enemy team assist gold and the player who killed you almost a full items worth of gold.  The time you spend at the fountain and dead are all hurting your creep score, hence, putting you even more behind.  You can see how this will add up over a few deaths, and while you might think that the rager on your team is just a rager, usually they are semi-right in what they are saying, but need some communication lessons.

What is a good creep score at 10 minutes? The normal standard is 10 CS every minute.

Okay so that number seems unrealistic in certain game scenarios, but by knowing that number you will know where you stand at every point in the game.

Another good way to tell how you are doing is to hit tab and check your lane opponents creep score.  Are you above your enemy’s cs? Then you are doing fine (as long as you aren’t 0-5 to his 5-0).

That really is all there is to say about creep score in league of legends, please discuss any other points you would like to add!
