Basic skills guide

Well guys, the poll on our YouTube channel is now closed, and the results are in! We had four options for you guys to vote on, and the winning candidate would be the next video I make. The choices were:

• Guide to Amumu
• Guide to Master Yi
• First impressions of Twisted Treeline
• Basic skills guide (laning, ganking, engaging, retreating, team roles, etc.)

And now... the moment of truth! The results are in, and production begins! But on which topic? Bum bum buuuuuuum... Oh wait, what's that? You already know the answer because you looked at the YouTube poll? You sneaky little monkey! Well for those of you who didn't ruin the suspense, the answer is... oh wait, you guess it from the title of the post? *sigh* There's just no appreciation for suspense these days... Well anyway, the answer is...

Basic Skills Guide!

Yes, that's right. Basic skills guide. Preliminary interviews with the mastermind behind HDLoLcast reveal that he may in fact be planning on splitting the guide into three parts: basic laning & jungling, basic ganking, and basics of teamfights! Oooh, sounds serious! Well folks, stay tuned, because the first video should be out by the end of the week, and it will be the answer to all of your anxious voting, so you won't want to miss it!

Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll!

EDIT: We now have a video out to introduce our Basic Skills Guide Series, check it out below!


HD League of Legends Beginner's Guide - Basic Skills Guide Series Introduction

Patch v1.0.0.106

The new patch to accompany the arrival of Trundle is finally here. Along with the new patch of course, comes a few gameplay tweaks and changes. Given the fact that some of our favourite champions are getting nerfs, expect there to be a lot of nerd rage, but since the intention is to level out the game, it will hopefully be a good thing. You can check out the patch notes here for specific information, or you can read my TL;DR version below.

So basically, ranged carries are getting a nerf, flash didn't get removed from the game this patch like a lot of people thought, and several AoE spells are getting nerfed (here's to hoping that they leave my lovely Amumu ult intact!). Lots of bugs were fixed, too. Janna got a nerf, Morgana's spell shield got a nerf, her ult got a nerf, Galio got nerfed, Pantheon had some changes, and Sona got nerfed. Doran's Ring and Doran's Sword had some tweaks, and the Lizard (red) buff was changed to do reduced slowing when applied by a ranged character (5/10/15% instead of 10/20/30%).

That's all for now folks, check out the new patch and the new champion, Trundle, and stay tuned to HDLoLcast because in the next day or so we'll have a new video coming out!

Ionia vs. Noxus Grudge Match

Alright guys, hold on to your hats and get ready for a wild ride, because on December 10 there is going to be an official live match in League of Legends between one team of summoners allowed to summon various Ionian champions, and another team allowed to summon certain Noxian champions. The match is going to be commentated by none other than LoL's legendary Phreak. It should be an awesome event, and you're not going to want to miss it. (More after the break)
