About

Hi! 

I'm GrekMaR.

I created this blog, as an outlet for my my opinion about gaming, tech and news in general.

I'm a competitive gamer by nature, though my thirst for top ranks have been quenched lately, I mostly embark on other digital and real life adventures.

I love to learn and like to take a meta perspective on life and learning. 

I believe myself to be pragmatic and holistic, albeit somewhat lazy.

My view on guides

Image
Pff guides are for noobs, why would you use a guide ? - Any good player with respect for him/herself do not use guides, but instead look at streams or talk to other players on which items to use in different scenarios. Right? - Wrong, personally I like to use guides, they can give you alot of information on a short period of time. They are great for lookup doing games, when in loading screen or when wanting to learn a new champion, for those you aren't familiar with every champion and what to build on them. Even though you are not playing a champion, you can still look through a guide describing how your opponent should play, to give you a heads up, for what you have in store for the future. Especially with the new items every update that is made, sometimes it can be usefull to use guides for help, at the start of me playing LoL, I used guides from mobafire.com, lolpro.com, solomid.net but recently another great lol community side called lolking.net added guides, these guides have
