HATTON GAMES: When to buy armor

Image
Taken from:  Original post Hey guys, a quick guide for you here on the subject of when to buy or not buy Kevlar (+ Helm) in competitive play. I saw  a post on reddit  on the subject and thought I’d summarize the views expressed and also give you my two cents. Should I buy armour? Armour is expensive, you will only be able to afford a vest on the first round with only a small amount of money left over and on ‘buy rounds’ you will be blowing $1000 each time. So is it worth it? What does it  actually  do? - Kevlar reduces your damage taken from bullets  and  grenades. - Has no impact on your movement speed (unlike some other games). - There is visually no difference to your character, therefore you cannot tell if someone is wearing armour just by looking. So as you can see there are no real disadvantages to wearing the stuff, so obviously if you can afford to buy armour with a weapon then do so! Should I ever buy armour without a weapon? Probably not, no. Having a wea

Attacking/Defending bombsites (on D2)

So there are some major differences between defending and attacking bombsites in general. When defending (CT), I find the advantages to be the following: - Your enemy do not know how many you are defending that bombsite - Your enemy do not know your position on the bombsite - You have the time on your side , meaning you can just wait, while your opponents have to make a move. - Camping (yes, that is an advantage!), when waiting for your opponents in a choke spot, you know they have to go right through your crosshair in order to attack a certain bombsite, in which you get to fire first. When attacking (T): - You have the element of surprise with you , meaning you have the ability to adapt to your opponents setup, and rotate and maybe attack the bombsite where your opponents are not, whereas the CT's have to counter-react to everything the terrorists do. - With proper smokes and flashes , you can attack a bombsite while your enemies are blinded, giving free frags and possibl

Lolcounter.com now a part of solomid.net

lolcounter.com lists all of the champions and counters to them, you can find links to champion guides and how to counter a champion, what to notice ect. the original lolcounter.com could the same thing, but the design has been revised and is actually quite nice now, we can also see some information about which champions works well with the selected champion ect. So an example of a champion could be Cho'Gath: When you select Cho'Gath at the main page you get information like: Cho'Gath the Terror of the Void Tank Mage Magical Damage Jungler Top You also have three options to see: Summary of counter items, counter summoner spells and counter mechanics Stats of Cho'Gath (per. level, base stats ect.)

Who should you jungle?

Image
I came across this awesome guide on newsoflegends.com link made by Hersir, enjoy: The Jungler has the most potential to turn a game around, yet it is the position that most people find the most daunting. They have the ability to focus on any lane they desire, to slow down the enemy jungler and to help out failing lanes. They can act as an initiator or tank in team fights, or even a bruiser carry depending on who you play. All this makes the Jungler  certainly the most versatile role in the game. In a return to my series on guiding the beginner to ranked play in the right direction, I want to point out a few of the changes that were made to the Jungle and then show a selection of Junglers that are highly recommended to anyone wanting to learn the role. For the seasoned Junglers among us, you will already know everything I’m going to say. For those of you wanting to tackle the behemoth that is the Jungle, read on! I am not going to talk about the best champions to play i
