After long absence

I haven't posted anything here for about three weeks. Sorry for that, I was moving.

But now back, with interesting stuff:
I have dropped learning Caitlyn for the moment and started looking into other roles.

• Support: The first one was Soraka in a support role. This is what Soraka is mostly known for. She is a great support and the build suggestions are not too bad if you do play support.
  BUT after a few good matches with her in that role I wanted to try her as AP and you may not believe that but she is great and does a good deal of damage with her Q if you level it early and buy items for Magic Resist and Ability Power. Sounds like it's not much but you would be surprised! If play her well, you stay in lane and even in teamfights very long. I usually chose Flash and Heal for the D and F buttons which means that over all I have 3 heals! Flash to get out of or into range. So in a teamfight, given that you aren't out of position, you last, keep yourself and even the whole team alive and do a good amount of damage in addition. Here is a guide on Soraka in the AP role.

• Jungle: The second thing that I tried was Nunu for Jungling. Now this was a very interesting experience. I found that it is really difficult to keep up with the leveling if all you do is jungle. A lot of times you go for a gank or the jungle monsters. Not a lot of XP, with Nunu's ult though not too bad. He needs a lot of Magic resist and health items as far as I see it.

• Last but not least: Of course I did not stop playing my favourite Ashe. Today I had my personal highscore on the EU West Server. 7 kills, 0 deaths, 11 assists. Here my screenshot.

Some Links

As promised I am going to provide a list of links that I find very useful. This will include some gameplay and tutorial videos.
(All links open in a new window)

For starters let me mention, that if you have an account on youtube there are two channels that I find really good and am subscribed to.

Riot Games has a channel "RiotGamesInc" It gives regular updates on client patches and has the so-called "Champion spotlight" where they focus on a champion, tell you what it can do and gives hints on how to play him and how to play against him.

The second channel is Protatomonster and what he does is more for the community. He uploads special gameplay videos and lets the community decide on which they liked best. This includes awesome teamfights, lucky plays, fun baron steals, and much more. So if you like to get involved in the community this is one of the ways.

Some links I find useful:
1. League of Legends Wiki
2. Summoner School
3. solomid

 One of the videos I found useful for my gameplay:
 AD Laning Guide

Very detailed explanation on how to position yourself and what to be aware off during laning phase if you want to play AD (attack damage).
After this video I got ganked a lot less!












Also, useful if you actually want to play well, watch live streams and gameplay videos.
I am always watching videos on the champion I want to play.
The championships are interesting as well, just to see how world class players play. From those you will learn a lot of stradegy because, just like in other sports, there are commentators that tell you what is happening and explain why people are doing what. Helps understanding things a lot.

The only thing I find difficult at times is to find out where to go and what to do after laning phase, because at that point I never know where the enemy champions are.
So if anyone has tips for that, let me know.
