I really do enjoy that game, more than I ever expected myself to when I installed it. It&#8217;s probably because I&#8217;ve got Essner and Jonathan hooked, so I always have actual teammates to play with. It also helps that I&#8217;m actually getting competent with people.<\/p>\n<p>The first character I decided to main was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/champions\/view\/18\/tristana_the_megling_gunner\">Tristana<\/a>. She&#8217;s nice, of course. I still enjoy her. But I really got the hang of her because she&#8217;s the first character where I really learned how to use all of her moves. I could do some serious killing.<br \/>\nYet, that&#8217;s not really my style. I enjoy having a heal. But I never really felt like I was effective with any of the healers I had played, except maybe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/champions\/view\/10\/kayle_the_judicator\">Kayle<\/a>, but even then, she&#8217;s very &#8220;heal herself&#8221; focused and not actually for healing a group.<\/p>\n<p>Then I tried <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/champions\/view\/76\/nidalee_the_bestial_huntress\">Nidalee<\/a> and fell in love. I purchased her immediately, and I haven&#8217;t looked back.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I don&#8217;t really care for her flavor, perse? She also doesn&#8217;t look particularly cool. But her abilities just fit me perfectly. Basically, she can, when she hits level 6, shapeshift into a Cougar. This cougar has a completely different set of abilities: one created to kill people. As a human, her set is extremely support, although her Javelin Toss can do some decent damage.<\/p>\n<p>This works just perfect for me.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, I can be support and defensive. I can use Primal Surge to heal and Javelin Toss to finish off foes. Bushwack is great for tracking traveling foes as well, of course, though it&#8217;s never really a big attack. Still, useful. Then, later, when I want to kill something, I can switch to the Cougar. Takedown is REALLY powerful, Claws are fun, and Pounce works similarly to how Tristana&#8217;s rocket jump works, in that I can use it to help me escape from situations, which is awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, I know how to use all her moves. I know what they&#8217;re for, and most of the time, I can apply them. I feel like I&#8217;m doing things as Nidalee, and she fits my playstyle. It&#8217;s completely badass. I&#8217;m even getting to the point where I can actually hit people with Javelin Toss, which is extra awesome, as I&#8217;m not really the best at skill shots.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s good to be playing LoL again, and now that Essner has a good computerbox and a headset, I envision many more rounds being played. I can&#8217;t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See, it&#8217;s supposed to be like Saddle, but I put LoL in there, because this post is about LoL. Amazing.
