Champ of the Week returns next week

Good News.

I’ve got some good news and some bad news regarding the Champ of the Week series. First, the good news. It’s coming back next week! I know I owe everyone a Talon video and a long overdue Veigar video, but that’s where the bad news comes in. All of the recordings I have from those games is buried somewhere on a corrupt and now very dead hard drive. I’ve since replaced that drive, but I lost my LoL Replay data along with all of my video footage from those games. Yes, it sucks very much.

Back to some good news, though – I should be able to get a game or two in over the next few days with both Talon and Veigar so I can at least upload a replay for those of you using LoL replays. If I have the time, I might even do a quick and dirty video, but that seems unlikely at the moment.

So, check back at the beginning of next week for the return of the champ of the week series. If you have suggestions for a character you’d like to see next week, let me know in the comments.

LoL: Understanding zoning

I know that many of you have probably seen this video, but it’s so good I had to share it. I’ve played most of my games over the past couple days with a guy named Everett and we’ve been winning a ton. We even took down a high-tier TakashiX/Elementz combo, albeit largely because the rest of their team lacked synergy. In the games that we’ve been able to lane together, we’ve done an absolutely brutal job of zoning our opponents with combinations like Sion/Ezreal. With so much nuking power and Ezreal’s extreme range, we have effectively shut our opponents out of early XP, making the rest of the game very difficult for them.

Zoning is basically using your skills and position to keep your enemy away from creep lines, thereby denying them XP while still farming yourself. It is a rough tactic, and though some champions can counter it, most will struggle if you can do it well. Shurelia does a great job explaining the various aspects of zoning so I’ll save you the trouble.

On a side note, I may start a weekly learning series, in which I cover some aspect of the game, much like this. If you have any questions or a topic you’d like to see covered, drop a note in the comments. I’d also be open to guides if you need help with a specific hero. As always, you can find me in game as “The Wiggin Boy.”
