"The ever increasing popular MOBA genre is soon to have yet another title added to the repertoire in the form of Hi-Rez Studios’ SMITE. A couple of years ago MOBA wasn’t even a genre but now it seems like a new one is being released every week. Recently Realm of the Titans was launched by Aeria Games, and now the developers of Tribes: Ascend are having a stab with their latest MMO title, SMITE."

For currently unknown reasons, Riot have removed the post but we were able to snag a quick shot of the newly improved model for the infamous Baron. Having been a dedicated LoL players for a little over 2 years, the graphics were always one of my biggest pet peeves with the game, but if this screens..."
"Riot Games used the strategy of League of Legends as a sport to boost popularity by allowing players to be viewed ala’ Hunger Games style in Spectator Mode. The live-stream of player’s matches is jumping on the Pay-Per-View sports bandwagon and of course some online outlets are starting to charge fees.
With this past February’s event, League of Legends was the most streamed game in 2012. Not just anyone can jump on the fast track of Gatorade and Fruit of the Loom endorsements; you wil..."

"The corruption will continue to spread until there are no further unaffected targets in range. Pretty awesome for when there are running (Like Ash Arrow but not that ridiculously long). Uses a bunch of mana though.
GOOD TO NOTE: It’s a AoE snare if the enemies are standing right next to each other. It will slowly switch targets near the champion and snaring them to place. It burns so good."
The latest Champion to join the league is the highly anticipated archer, Varus. He's already appearing in every game but what can you do to separate yourself from the awful players ruining a perfectly good champ? Check out Gamers Heroes guide and get rolling lanes in no time.

"Most of us have been guilty of putting in a little too much time on our favorite gaming titles, however, one Korean man took it a little too far after playing League of Legends for 23 hours. 23yr old Chen Rong-yu, arrived at a popular internet cafe at 10pm and paid to use the internet for 23 hours.

"GamingUnion: "Skarner is a rather interesting proposition. Before I started playing him a few weeks ago, I'd never seen anyone using the cuddly little critter, but since then he's been cropping up a bit - he even appeared in the ESL final between Moscow 5 and SoloMid.""
"GamingUnion: "It's been just over a month since I last entertained you with some crafty words about League of Legends in my little blog - I believe I was talking about the arrival of Season Two at the time. Anyway, since then I've decided to test out a new champion and I'm now going to share my wonderful experience.""
"Every now and then you’ll hear that PC gaming is dying. Well with the statistics that Riot Games just released this week regarding their free-to-play, multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA for short), League of Legends, I’d say that statement is pretty much moot. For those who haven’t been following the MOBA/MMORPG scene, League of Legends is a game that really caters to competitive fantasy players. Most online RPGs typically don’t do player vs. player (PvP) combat very well (yes I’m looking ..."

What follows are my League of Legends diary entries.""

"Hi there. You might know me. I’m one of those guys that plays Defense of the Ancients (DotA) / HoN / LoL, but not obsessively. I don’t have every build for every character memorized. I’ve probably tried most characters at least once. From this position though, it is very easy to spot the most differences between Heroes Of Newerth and League of Legends that *most* players would care about."
