I played bad and I feel bad...

Lately I found myself playing way better on lanes rather than jungling (that time that I couldn't play cause of my PC failure did a number on me, it seems) so I picked up Ashe for another game yesterday... Sadly enough, I blew it... I only managed a 1/6/6 score early game and even though I managed to catch up a bit later on, the damage was done, as the opponents where pretty much fed already and snowballed us into submission. I finished the game with a score of 8/12/17, which isn't a "bad" score in terms of absolute numbers but I really think that we lost the game because of me.

What I mean to say is that, for the last couple of years (since I figured out how the ladder system works) I was thinking that the ranking system is faulty. And, yesterday, I totaly felt like I brought the rest of my team down with me. It's unfair for everyone to lose their hard earned Elo points just because one player on the team didn't perform as expected. Not that it was the first time this happened and every other game I played perfect, far from it. Just that since individual performance matters to the outcome of the game, you just can't be ranked for the team's performance...

Just putting it out there, I feel really bad for that loss, even though I won the very next game with Cait with a much much better score than the one with Ashe (10/3/11). I did bad and I should feel bad. And I WILL get better, I WANT to get better!!

That's all for now, I should mention the new layout I designed for my livestream (now WITH a live feed camera!! ^_^) but I guess you should catch me streaming sometime to take a look at it! Hope you like it, keep an eye out for my Twitter updates for livestream status changes! Take care everyone! :)

A year and 4 days! ^_^

I got my PC to work fine once more!! Even got an SSD drive to make it even faster than before, but I didn't get on setting it up yet! Anyway, my PC is fine once more and I can return to the League!

Also, 4 days ago, my blog turned 1! Yey! :D 148 posts and more than 4.500 blog views came this year! This sums up to almost 1 post every 2 and a half days and 12 blog views daily! :) Other from Greece, people from Russia, USA, Sweden, Poland, Finland, Romania, Denmark, Germany and Croatia visited my blog for 899 views! Whoever you are, thank you! :) Let's see if I can manage to get some more impressive stats this year! :)

Thanks again! Cheers Everyone! :D :D :D

Can't play... :(

Apparently, LoL uses up too much of my CPU and, combined with the environmental summer heat, it tends to overheat and crash my PC... I took some measures to prevent that from happening (removing the lid from my PC case, moving the case to an easier ventilated place, increasing the fan RPM etc) but still, my benchmarks show no reduction to CPU temperature when the CPU is stressed... Guess unless the weather itself cools off, no League of Legends for me...

Fair and square

This is how the matchmaker is matching players... Cause all is fair, as long as you have the same elo...
