Know Your Role - Current Meta: Introduction

Well, our website's name is League of Meta. We're going to start putting up extensive guides on your favorite roles and their correlation with the position you start on the map. Whether you're a top lane ADC, mid lane bruiser, or assassin jungler, I plan to help you understand your role, what you should be doing, and how to play in different team comps so you can be effective in killing the enemy nexus. Hopefully this also helps you open up your champ pool so you can not only pick champs you want to play, but also champs that go well with a specific team.

I'm currently compiling tips, tricks, and general decision making for bot lane's baby: the ADC. With a handful of players from different leagues and divisions, LoM will soon have a comprehensive guide on how to play as an ADC and what your job will be throughout the different stages of the game.

Check back soon for our first guide in this new series: Know Your Role - Current Meta.

Preparing you for S4: Trinket System

With the new trinket system in place, many people have been just buying the recommended or yellow trinket for their champions. Well here is a breakdown of the new trinkets, how to use them, and when to use them, in this all new guide to prepare you for the upcoming normal season.

Level 1 Trinkets

As you can see the level 1 trinkets all provide much more utility than any other starting items before. The first one (yellow) is a free explorers ward. Very useful in lane bushes and/or following an enemy into brush. The next one (red) is basically an oracles on a cooldown, and the final one (blue) is clairvoyance.

Champion Pre-Release: Yasuo, The Unforgiven

Riot is creating their new champ: Yasuo, and I've decided to take a look at him. Not everything is set in stone yet, but he is proving to be a very disruptive damage dealer on the PBE.

PBE Jungle Item Changes

Here is a list of some of the changes out on the PBE right now regarding the early game jungle to help champions with surviving their first clears.

Hunters Machete
Riot just raised the health on hit to 5 from 3. This should help clearing not be as taxing on your health bars.

League of Meta Challenge

This site was built with helping you improve in mind. In the spirit of competition, we are starting a new segment called the League of Meta Challenge. I don't want to constantly explain the rules, so I'll be linking this post in every League of Meta Challenge.

For LoM challenges, you are to take full responsibility for your personal growth and the outcomes of the challenges. It doesn't matter that your team fed too much. It doesn't matter that your jungler didn't gank. Try to finish the challenge and see where you personally stand. League of Legends is a game to constantly improve on; play to improve, not to win.
