League of Legends: Jinx

Today, I want to talk about Jinx, the Loose Cannon. Jinx is the New ADC that comes out on the 10th but in my opinion looks like one of the strongest ADC's to come out, be planned for Jinx to be nerfed as quickly as possible, she's most likely going to be really op. Jink is a type of ADC that runs in guns blazing (literally) get as many kills as possible, then get out before she dies. With her skill list this seems she's deadly at any range. Also........ shes's crazy. 
Jinx's passive is called Get Excited, and what it does, is give Jinx extra movement speed every time she gets a kill, or assist, this is also activated when you destroy a turret. This is good for catching up to targets to get more kills, or a nice way to get out of a battle once you get a kill.

Jinx's Q is called Switcheroo, which is and interesting toggle which switches her basic attack to be a Cannon named Fishbones, or a minigun named Pow- Pow. Fishbones deals some area damage per hit, which can also crit. The Minigun is the top most gun in the picture, while the Rocket Launcher is the bottom most gun.



Jinx's W is called Zap, where charges up an electric shot with long range, it also slows. Because it take a second or two to charge it up, it might be easily avoidable, this is a move that you can use on a running away target, or vice versa to slow them down to either get a kill, or get away.

Jinx's E is called Flame Chompers. Jinx throws out 3 grenades in a line blowing up on a timer, but if an enemy champion steps on one, they get snared and take damage. This is good skill to use to initiate, or to get away, but take note that the grenades take a second to set up, so set them up in front of your target, depending on their movements.


Jinx's Ultimate, or R is called Super Mega Death Rocket, which is a global ultimate that deals damage to the first enemy champion it hits, then does some damage in an area around its explosion. This ult is mostly used as an execution, to get away enemies that think they get away, or just to steal kills from your allies around the map.

I would build Jinx the same way I build every ADC, building Berserker Greaves, Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Phantom Dancer, Runnan's Hurricane, and maybe Last Whisper.

Jinx's lore tells the story of, well, Jinx. It says that Jinx loves nothing more than having fun, which to her is blowing things up, like the city-state of Piltover. Jinx could care less about consequences, and thinks the whole police force is a joke, she uses them as her play things to have that much more fun, and her favorite toy is Vi.
While Piltover was once the city of progress, Jinx is seriously messing that up, destroying buildings of all kind, some would say Jinx is anti-productive, while I like to thing of her as..... misunderstood. That doesn't mean shes innocent though, things that Jinx has done has put Piltover, and its residence into a state of decline, causing the worst crime spree in the city's history.
Most of Jinx's intentions are a mystery as well as her origins, people say her weapons seem like hextech weaponry, which is equal to a steampunk style of things, like champions themselves or items, or pretty much anything.
Caitlyn then noticed the danger of Jinx and what consequences it could have if she wasn't stopped, so she started a man-hunt, or rather a women-hunt for Jinx. Jinx saw this as an opportunity to piss her and Vi off even more. Jinx marked the Piltover treasury with a picture of Vi's face, with a place and time shes going to rob/destroy the most secure building in piltover. Vi accepted the challenge and met jinx at that time. When they both showed up they started fighting, while Vi was breaking walls down chasing Jinx, she was helping with a bit of explosions, when Vi finally cornered Jinx, Jinx shot some rockets into the building with them both inside, tearing it down.
When Vi got out of the rubble, She noticed that none of the money from the treasury they just destroyed was taken, then she looked up and saw a message, the lights of the city read out " You'll Never Catch Me!"

"Oh look- I'm opening my box of care! Oh wait- it's empty!"

League of Legends: Aatrox

9/10 times when I write this blog I want to or I would rather be talking about League of Legends, so most likely i will make this a League blog.
Today I want to talk about Aatrox, The Darkin Blade. Aatrox is an extremely powerful brawler that dominates top lane and is almost always played aggressive, with his skill list he can 1v1 a good amount of champions at level one, depends on which of his skills you pick up.

Aatrox is one of the champions that uses health to use skills instead of mana, his passive is, Every time Aatrox uses a skill, he stores the number of hit points he inflicted on himself into his "Blood Well" when you die he will extract how much damage you've done to yourself and come back to live with that much health, then recieves 1% attack speed for every 2% of blood that's in the well.

Aatrox's Q is called  Dark Flight, which is where Aatrox flys up in the air and slams down on a location around him dealing dame, anything in the middle of the damage radius makes knocked up as well as take the damage.

Aatrox's W is called Blood Price/Blood Thirst, It's a toggle ability changing between Aatrox doing damage to himself, but doing more damage, or Him just getting health back from every third attack.

Aatrox's E is called blades of torment which is where he shoots lazers in a cone shape and slowing all enimes they hit.

Finally, Aatrox's ult or R is called Massacre, which when activated, does damage around him, and gains tons of attack speed and attack range for 12 seconds, So best used in team fights or 1v1 situation.

What I build as Aatrox is more of a Brawler, leaning towards more attack damage and speed then health items, critical items to build on Aatrox are, Ninja Tabi (or Merc Treads) Ravenous Hydra, Blood Thirster, Phantom Dancer, Blade of The Ruined King, then Frozen Mallet, for a more tanky build, get the same boots, Warmogs, Ravenous Hydra, Frozen Mallet, Randuin's Omen, and Maw of Mal if you need the magic resist, if you're feeling a bit more like a dick, go for an early Gaurdian Angel.

Aatorx's Lore  tells the story about how Aatrox is one of the 5 creatures of the Darkin race alive today, and how the Darkin are extreme warriors. It metions a battle between 2 groups of people, the Protectorate, and the Magelords, the Protectorate were getting destroyed in wars with the Magelords, and in a single battle were outnumbered (and skilled) 5 to 1, Just as they were about to lose and all day the warrior Aatrox appeared telling them not to give up until they were all dead, and with his help were able to win the battle. The soldiers were in awe of how Aatrox cleaved through his opponents as if he and his Sword were one. After that one battle, Aatrox disappeared but having inspired and motivated the Protectorate troops that much, they kept fighting and eventually won the war. Others say they fought with the legendary warrior, and only seems to appear in times of extreme need or dark times, it also says that he has changed the course in many major battles in the world of Runeterra.

"Some fight for honor, some fight for glory. It matters only that you fight.''
