My web design posting days are over

Unfortunately, this blog is no longer a grade in my web design class. Therefore, it is no longer a grade for me to write this. I will most likely post more in this blog, but they will no longer be posted regularly.

Skins that i own



These aren't all the skins that i have. To be honest this is only the tip of the iceberg. Skins are a great way to express yourself and distinguish yourself from other players

Urf The Manatee

Urf lives on in our hearts
Urf the Manatee was never actually put into the game. However, if you ask anyone about him, they will express a deep desire to play as urf the manatee. Urf was an april fools joke that riot games put into the game. However, people still clamored for urf to be a playable character. So Riot games did the next best thing. You may notice that he has a spatula in his flipper and a fish in his belt. The spatula was supposed to symblize the manatee people's cooking knowledge, and the fish was to symbolize their home the ocean. They made an Urf the Manatee skin for warwick.

URRRF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 They put the skin out for only three days. In those three days, 15,000 players bought the skin. It was such a widely loved skin, they put all the proceeds from it to savethemanatee.com. Urf continues to be one of the most widely talked about champions even though he sadly never was.

Singed the Mad Chemist

my brother's favorite skin of singed, surfer singed
Singed is a true tank if there can be one in league of legends. He can soak up damage like no other, he's very fast, and he threatens the enemy team enought that they think twice attacking him even in force. He's my brother's favorite character, a personal favorite of mine, and he's a great tank to have on your team. Singed's passive ability is empowered Bulwhark. Empowered Bulwhark gives him increased health based on how much mana he has. It becomes a huge part of his gameplay in late game especially when he stacks mana. His first ability is poison trail. Poison trail releases poison from singed that damages anyone  who steps in it. His poison is a huge deterrent from people thinking of chasing a singed. His next ability is mega adhesive. Mega adhesive makes a spot near singed that slows enemies significantly if they step in it. Mega adhesive is awesome late game as a disruptor for focused attacks. It also lets singed make an opening for his next ability. That ability is fling. Fling throws an enemy directly behind singed. A good singed will start a poison trail befire he flings. Flings is a good disruptor as well as a good way to initiate because it singles out one person. Singed's ultimate is insanity poison. Insanity poison dramatically increases all of his attributes for a short time. This is particularly good for turret diving and tanking in team fights.

Skins in league of legends

If you looked up the game, you mat have noticed that the champions have more than one appearance. People buy these skins because they want to distinguish themselves from other players or simply like the skin better than the original. These skins are bought using Riot points which are obtained by buying them with real money. Some skins are set apart from the rest as "legendary". These are skins that basically got a total rework for that specific skin. They get new audio clips, a new costume, new effects etc...

This is the Queen ashe skin. There is obviously a noticeable diffeence between this and the original ashe skin. These skins can seperate the people who play the game in their spare time, and people who play constantly.

Garen The might of Demacia


Garen can be played multiple ways. My favorite way to use him is as a dps/ad champion. Garen is a very tanky champion. He can basically make an enemy team think twice before confronting him, and with his passive, he is very hard to lane against. Garen's passive is perserverence. It heals him for .5% of his health every second when he's out of combat (hasn't been hit for 7 seconds). This passive ability helps a lot early game because he can't be killed without prolonged attack. His first ability is decisive strike. Garen gains dramatically increased movement speed  for 4 seconds. It also makes his next attack silence his target as well as dealing damage. Decisive strike is a great late game clincher against any ap champion. If garen can get that ability off, their ap carry, or healer can't do anything for a couple seconds in the beginning of a team fight. His next ability is great for a tanky garen. It's called courage. When he kills a minion, he gains .5 magic resist and armor. The bonus caps at 25. The active part of that ability is that he reduces all incoming damage by 20%. His third ability is judgement. Garen starts spinning and does damage to everything around him. It also removes any slows on him and reduces the time any new slows can affect him. Judgement is great for destroying minion waves as well as chasing enemy champions. Coupled with decisive strike, he can easily catch up to, and end enemy champions. Garen's ultimate is Demacian Justice. Demacian justice brings a huge sword down onto the enemy target. It deals damage based on how much health that target has. The less hp, the more it does. Demacian justice is great for a quick ending to an enemy tank, or suffieciently tanky individual. Garen is all in all a great champion for any game type.
