Runes & Masteries

Runes are an important part of League Of Legends because they provide a variety of early,mid,and late game support depending on the types of runes you buy.If there is one thing I know now that I wish i should have known earlier is that you should not spend your Ip points on runes that are not tier 3 considering you will just recycle them later on and have wasted your Ip.You should always use runes that compliment your style of game play for your most played characters.For example,if you play with most carries or mages you should have a page for each type of character and to maximize your effectiveness use masteries that compliment your runes.Buying per level runes help to maximize late game effectiveness, however, if you put these runes to use on a champion who is naturally less effective as the game progresses your are contradicting your strategy.On to masteries, they are even more effective than runes.With masteries you will want to take points in things that really make a difference rather than just putting a point because you have one.IE one point in reducing time dead by 4% is better than one point resulting in 2armor points.

Do Your Homework

You will come across playing against every champion throughout your experiences in LoL.In order to succeed and perform well in these matches you must read about your champions.It is important to read about the most commons champions you play against in order to know how to counteract their game play and better your own.Sure reading other champions abilities is a fine way to know the basics about countering specific champions, but what if that inst enough?I have come across reading champions tips that have simply told me as little as wait for him to use his ultimate before jumping in which i found useless and obvious.Instead read champions abilities so you know just how to avoid them or if not possible take the minimal damage possible.Although you may know that Malphite can throw a rock at you from beneath the ground, learn the range of this rock and if it applies things such as on hit effects, magic damage,stuns,slows,etc.1 thing you must note is that you will find yourself in matches that you may not think you can do anything to counter some champions such as Olaf and Tryndamere or Udyr,however there is always some type of method to changing game play and the little things do count.The closest i have got to countering or minimizing the damage if the champions listed is getting dodge boots and maybe dodge runes.Be careful though considering you may be taking away crucial item space for your champion and may alter the build limiting your core way of playing.Things such as early harass when you have range against up close melee works really well against champions listed prior.

League Of Legends Assassination

Assassinations in LoL are sometimes prolonged but mostly very quick not giving your opponent the time necessary to react with great measures.Akali is a great example of both prolonged measures and quick kills.Focusing on Akali, she has the abilities to burst down squishy targets at average and below with a 3-5secs.Akali excels in the beginning of matches because of many reasons.The main reason she excels is because she has stamina which works much better than mana due to the regeneration rate and the skill costs.She also has a decent range on her q which allows her to use it for 1 of 2 reasons .One of those reasons would be to farm and another would be to harass enemies.Although you may not deal as much damage as you would intend to, you have stamina and you will always be able to use this skill.While you harass your enemy they will become annoyed and either back out of exp range or start wasting their mana in which u can now use you passive and regenerate your health.Akali is cool and all through the harass,however, Akali becomes really dangerous with her ultimate.Many would think oh but if we are both level 6,I have my ultimate too.Akali is so mobile and stealthy that she will most likely get in her abilities before you throw yours.One tip you want to keep in mind when playing Akali who has a ultimate stacked a kin to Teemo is never keep 3 charges!
