I was diagnosed with both heart and gastric disease at 17.
My entire youth was ripped away from me, most days spent alone in hospital or bed ridden at home.
I could barely eat or move and even dropped as low as 39kg.
My daily existence required all of my energy just to survive.
I'm 26 now and have had about every, test, procedure and operation you can think of.
I've drank both radioactive milk and a full cup of pure concentrated urea. (Yes that is a cup of piss)
And while I'd love to say everything is better now, my days are definitely still difficult.
After an operation and life long medication my heart disease is mostly gone, and if I can tank throwing up every now and then my stomach is also doing a lot better.
But if there's one lesson I've learnt, is that if you're always waiting for every variable to be perfect before you start to "live" your life, your existence will pass you by.
I still have daily struggles, but for the most part I'm a far cry from my 17 year old self who didn't even think I'd make it this far.
For the first time in 9 years I'm healthy enough that I can finally say I'm no longer just surviving.
I'm actually starting to "live."
And for that I'm grateful enough that I wanted to share.
Love y'all.
Riot: We're removing Galio's taunt > flash interaction as there's too little counterplay
Also Riot: Completely invisible, lane wide AOE knock up + stun + one shot that you can flash and protobelt mid-cast
bot laners (adc and support) in soloQ from iron-challenger are the worst players mechanically and fundamentally
they are the only ones that consistently and willingly flip their lane and in extension the entire game before the rest of the team is even level 2
Imagine if there was an aimlabs but for League.
Where you could replicate niche game scenarios at ease to train the fine motor skills required for certain mechanics.
Without having to play entire full length games just to practise.
The current "practise tool" is ass...
New Ezreal tech: ER > MM > Navori > Shadowflame (Conq)
Ezreal's damage profile has now shifted more onto his W and R which are magic damage.
It also ties into Ezreal's "play patterns" very well.
It won't be meta but it's new, genuinely quite strong and a lot of fun.
Try it.
Karma buffs:
- Base health increased from 604 to 630
- Q AP ratio increased from 50% to 70%
- E base shield increased from 80 - 240 to 80 - 260
- E AP ratio increased from 45% to 60%
You're top 18,000 out of 3.5 million in literally anything in the world:
"Yo that's really impressive man, congrats."
You're top 18,000 out of 3.5 million in League:
"You pisser dogsh*t ape low master"
So funny

My 2024 so far:
- Father diagnosed with incurable progressive disease
- 7 Year breakup
- My debilitating illness worsening
- Grandfather passing
And I'm sitting here playing this silly little game as a career.
Sometimes it feels hard to justify.
But I will make it, I promise.
It appears MagiFelix has returned and is attempting to reach Challenger playing each champ ONLY ONCE
He's done it on every role already so he's just making up challenges for himself at this point...
I've noticed that (a lot of) League players are allergic to the smallest amount of effort:
- Slightly bad draft? Dodge.
- +24/-25 LP? New account.
- Favourite champ has 49.99% winrate? Flame Riot.
- Game looking hard? FF.
Do you enjoy playing, or just like seeing your LP go up?
So for Ezreal, Riot are planning on increasing his bonus AD ratios on:
- Q || (unknown amount)
- W || 0.6 > 1.0 (Are you insane?)
- R || 0.5 > 0.7
Insanity.
Player perception of balance is always so hilarious to me,
Pre-buff, Ezreal had a 130% ratio on his Q and was so weak he was considered a "troll pick."
They increased it to 140% and he became, rightfully, "broken."
It's now reverted, and many think the nerf does nothing.
I have never once bought QSS against Morde nor cared when he ulti'd me either way.
There's no way we're complaining about this as ADCs right?
Play range.
If he flash + ults, try to outplay in the realm.
If you die in the realm, he used flash AND ult is and now useless.
I've played league for 13 years.
I've had a 2 week ban once, when I was a 13 years old.
I have since, never been punished by the system.
How do people do it so frequently?
"if you don't play new champions you can't keep up"
Best champions on each role:
Top: Jax, Rumble, Olaf, K"sante
Jgl: J4, Bel'Veth, Taliyah, Graves
Mid: Syndra, Ori, Jayce, Tristana
ADC: Ziggs, Ashe, Xayah, Ezreal
Sup: Rakan, Rell, Naut, Ali
3 out of 20 are 2018+
If you buff ADCs, tanks are unhappy.
If you buff assassins, ADCs are unhappy.
If you buff tanks, assassins are unhappy.
If you nerf something, it's playerbase are unhappy.
"Riot, just listen to your players!!"
Listen to who exactly?
Ezreal is one of the strongest ADCs on the patch right now, he has so many builds to flex and they are all strong.
Here's another:
ER > Manamune > Navori > LDR > Flex Crit Item
And yes, if you have the APM for it and can front to back, this destroys tanks.
Item haste has been MASSIVELY reduced I'm sure to everyone's pleasure.
I have only 75 haste with these 4 items built.
In comparison on live I'd have around 104 with the same build.
It was hard to cap just above 40% CDR, so it's more like the old days.
You're playing Ezreal and land a Q on tanky target, it deals less than 5% of their HP.
Is your first thought:
"This champ is useless."
Or
"Guess I need to land more Qs."
You can tell a lot about the potential of a player from their mindset alone.
Fuck smurfing.
I play on my main account win or lose, long queue time or not and I sit there and educate and entertain.
If you're incapable of doing that without shitting on little Timmy in Gold 3, then get better at actually being a streamer instead of smurfing as a crutch.
I dislike how disrespectful smurfing is of the enemy team’s time. if I queue in ranked, I expect i’m 50% to win at baseline. if someone in my lobby is secretly chall, I definitely don’t have 50% to win. If I knew that beforehand I would not have queued for the game.
fair or no?
SO FUCKING CLOSE
The hardest Ezreal combo in the game:
W > Q > E > R (Forwards) > Flash (Backwards)
If you can pull this off and get a kill you're Faker idc
(Sorry to everyone getting inted by Ezreal's trying this)
I refuse to believe the internet is a real place...
A few days back I posted this shitty meme of me in glasses that popped off,
And soon after, I was sent a pair of glasses by Gunnar to model them as a partner.
Literally what the fck is the internet man.
While I'm honoured to have become a point of inspiration for others to play Ezreal.
My personal motivation to pick up the champion was Hanql, the Chinese 2000lp peak OTP.
The fact that even he has completely abandoned the champion in his current state speaks for itself.
Bro how can you not love TheShy,
My guy just whipped out a completely piss random Graves top at world's semifinal and is making a mockery out of the supposed best toplaner at the tournament
Just remember what Bin did to every other top, and look at what's being done to him...
A lot of pros testing First Strike lethality Caitlyn but aren't sure if it's strong or not,
I'm making the call to say this sh*t is the most braindead broken tech I've seen in a while,
Don't pick it into tanks, but even then it has surprising DPS.
Just look below... ⬇️
