I'M BACK: ALSO, EXTENSIVE VAYNE GUIDE


So guys... I am back! I mean, this is probably not a good time since it's nearing midterms, and I have a lot of research work left undone, but here I am!


Things that have changed in my life:

-I'm getting my own apartment (moving into it July 1st), and hopefully then I can write more on this blog.
-I have picked up Vi and Vayne.
-I'm trying to get better.
-No one believes in me.

How to play Vayne, the master APC.

1) What runes should I choose?

You should probably choose runes that give you a lot of AP. We're looking to do serious damage as an APC to destroy the other team.

2) How should I build my pages?

Archmage, and maybe build some utility things, like gold. Also, lots of defense! We're going to be one tanky APC.

3) Okay. Summoner spells?

You should choose meditation and smite. Make sure you try to get as much CS from the jungle as possible, not to clog up bottom lane.

4) Starting items?

When you first spawn, don't bother buying starting items, just rush mana potions. You're going to need this because you're going to try to condemn, a lot. This will be the only move you need.

5) First back?

Start building your rabadon's.

6) Situational Items

If you're being blown to smithereens, you need to build more AP. Go buy something like Luden's Echo.


If you're doing good, you need to build more AP. Go buy something like Luden's Echo.

7) Core build

Your core build should look a lot like Ahri's, except in place of a Zhonya's, you need sightstone. Make sure you ward near enemy territory so you can go in for a gank.

8) Skill order

Put everything into condemn. Then worry about rolling and whatever. Honestly, you never need to tumble, or whatever w does, or even use your ultimate. Just smite them to kill them. Remember: you're an APC with a lot of stuns.

9) Final build

Your final build should have whatever kind of boots you want with mercury's treads (we're tanky) and you should have 3 slots with a pink ward, a green ward, and sightstone, and your final two should be your AP items.

10) Congratulations you now know how to play Vayne.

Hiatus

Hi guys,

I guess you could say I took an extended holiday. You know, League to me is getting to be kind of weirdly boring. And you know it's partially due to lack of skill, but also due to the extremely rude and obnoxious people who play. What is are their problems? Like, is League their lives? Because, that's... well I mean it could be really sad, but I guess it could alternately be pretty sweet. But anyways, like most people I meet who are over the age of 15 and are male are suddenly insufferable douchebags. It's like as soon as their balls dropped, their brain dropped out of their asses. I seriously don't know why everyone is a sack of complaints.

In other news, I don't really know if its worth getting good at this game. I feel like everyone else has been playing forever, and I don't want to be judgmental but they are telling me that they got addicted and well... that's not a healthy lifestyle. Also, not to be judgmental, but I feel like missed the train with this one. I started really late in comparison to everyone else, and it just isn't the same. I consider myself a fast learner, but this is just one of those things I can't learn.

I also have a theory about gender (sounds weird I know). But male brains and female brains actually work differently. I'm going to get flak for this, but I'm not trying to say one gender is smarter than the other. I'm just trying to say that maybe since I've been playing with/against predominantly males, perhaps they strategize and attack each other differently because of these differences? I mean, they could even be learned. This is true: most people would say that gaming males now played games in their childhood, so maybe early exposure is helpful? I mean I have female friends who play games, but they're not usually shooters or combat games (I'm going to get punched over this one, but I'm just speaking from experience.)

Well I'll be back soon~
