Jhin “4 image description”

MHLoppy — Thu, 21 May 2020 12:58:09 +0000

A few weeks ago /r/leagueoflegends ran a contest for reaching 4 million subscribers to the subreddit. There were four categories, and four winners in each category. With around 2 days left on the submission deadline, I submitted a Loss parody for the category of “4 image description” and ended up getting first place, winning myself …

Olaf Top: Alacrity vs Bloodline

MHLoppy — Fri, 19 Jul 2019 17:19:19 +0000

Legend: Alacrity and Legend: Bloodline are two competing options in the Precision tree. When is one better than the other, and what do I personally prefer to use? This article started off as a reply to a question on the Olafmains subreddit, so it might look familiar if you’re a frequent visitor there. …

Worlds 2018 – Sterak’s Gage

MHLoppy — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 12:28:02 +0000

Between the upsets, close games, and clown fiestas, Worlds this year was among the most engaging yet. Granted things petered out a bit once things hit semis, but overall I’d still rank this as one of the most enjoyable Worlds viewing experiences there’s been, particularly as a western fan. Amongst all of this, there’ll no …

MR Itemisation for Tanks and Fighters

MHLoppy — Sat, 31 Mar 2018 07:08:26 +0000

For armor itemisation, check out the previously written companion post covering just that. Many a time a player has asked “What should I buy?” Perhaps more specifically, you might ask “This Singed is dumping on me in lane; what should I buy?”, or “Corki is wiping the floor with me every fight; what should I …

Armor Itemisation for Tanks and Fighters

MHLoppy — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 15:04:07 +0000

For MR itemisation, check out the companion post covering just that. Many a time a player has asked “What should I buy?” Perhaps more specifically, you might ask “I’m against Tryndamere in a split-push and need some durability; what should I buy?”, or “Tristana is wiping the floor with me every fight; what should I …

Yet Another “Unsealed Spellbook Sivir” Post

MHLoppy — Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:31:20 +0000

A quick disclaimer: I’ve only analysed a single full Unsealed Spellbook Sivir game: SKT vs ROX, with Sivir played by Bang. I am by no means the first person to write about this subject. However, the writeups I’ve seen fail to adequately explain why you specifically use this setup on Sivir, not other champions that …

Everything is Roughly Balanced

MHLoppy — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 11:30:04 +0000

This concept is applicable near universally: games, economics, computer parts, whatever. If the category exists, the things within it are almost certain to be roughly balanced. For “quick and dirty” comparisons between two things, this concept is incredibly valuable to understand. When you just need to know roughly whether something’s worthwhile, you can save a lot …

End of Season Reflections – Season 7

MHLoppy — Thu, 09 Nov 2017 10:03:21 +0000

Season 7 has officially ended. This year I didn’t reach Challenger – or even get within reach of it at D1/Masters. But I did learn and improve, and can carry what I’ve learnt into the next season. I also soared into Honor 5 despite it often being used as an “MVP award” – and I’m …
