Looking for Authors & Editors!

September 28, 2011 3 comments

Right, so I myself haven’t posted in a while but more importantly my friends who normally do post are also busy with college. YET, we somehow average 100+ views a day. Why is this? Is it our League of Legends topics? Is it our random geek thrills and photography? Or is it my obsession with Deadpool? Either way, I feel really bad not posting and I know we have readers who would love to add to the site so, I am looking for Authors / Editors. I know we are called So Cash, and we haven’t been playing Eve online lately but I don’t care. If you play Eve Online and you wish to tell us a tale about Hi-sec war or better yet a 0.0 experience. Then I’ll let you. if you play League of Legends by Riot games and want to post your Tier list vs others or maybe you want to post a champion guide or build order, go right ahead! I will have it so. Tell me what you want to do, even if you are a photography major or journalist major at a university somewhere and you are required to or are just looking for a blog to add your own personal flair to, then DO IT! Ask, and you shall receive. The only guidelines I ask you follow is to credit people if you use their material. (No stealing!) and try to not post obscene material that would only be adults. A few curse words such as “Fuck” every now and then aren’t stressful but don’t post a game review bashing a game entirely with profanity. Post gamer / geek / student friendly topics and have fun. I will be approving membership to the site and if we get enough Authors, perhaps I’ll upgrade the site to have specific area for each topics. Maybe even make a private section, etc. This site supports youtube links, so if you post a youtube url in the HTML screen, it will embed it automatically.

How do you apply? Just email me at rockmanneo12@gmail.com
Topic: A So Cash Application

Goodbye GTX 280, Hello GTX 570

So my reliable gtx 280 fell victim to the Sims3 fps bug that forces it to render beyond 100 fps, until your card dies. That’s what I get for buying all of Sims3 on steam for it’s summer sale, for an early birthday present for my sister. Owell… Now Everything wants to run in ultra mode and boy does it look spiffy! O_O

On a different note, moving back to college in a few weeks. PAX funds are already put aside, and I really want to buy a PS3 just to play infamous 1 & 2. :D

Also: Been playing Spiral Knights.

Just remember this if you play it, okay?

If you are having the same sims 3 issue: Go HERE for a fps limiter

Music!

Getting back into writing music. Here are my first two tracks!

IQ Test by Logan IV

This one is a chill/relaxing drum and bass piece. It’s named “IQ Test” because it was me testing the waters of the intelligent D&B genre.

Jumping on the Elevator! by Logan IV

This one’s a bit heavier than the previous. There’s no real reason for it being named “Jumping on the Elevator”, I just kind of liked how that sounded haha.

Let me know what you think!

AP Carry Tier List – Leona Era (even though she isn’t out yet…)

July 13, 2011 Leave a comment

Top Picks: Twisted Fate, Annie, Rumble, Anivia, Orianna, Brand, Malzahar
Great Picks: Karthus, Vladimir, Nidalee, Mordekaiser, Fiddlesticks, Gragas, Akali
Good Picks: Zilean, Lux, Kassadin, Sion, Ryze, Cassiopeia
Situational Picks: Heimerdinger, Kennen, Kog’maw, LeBlanc, Morgana, Poppy
Bad Picks: Swain, Veigar, Katarina

Descriptions
Top Picks: These are the mages that shape the rest of the list. With the exception of Fiddlesticks, as he’s the only jungle mage, almost every team you can think of could replace one of the lower mages with one of these and get a better team overall. Some examples of ones that can’t would be a super campy Heimer/Nidalee comp, or a team focused entirely around kamikaze Karthus. These mages have tons of burst, a wide range of supporting abilities (Orianna’s shield, Anivia’s wall, TF’s ult, and the all have stuns/disables of some sort), and great initiation. The exception to this is Rumble, who just wins because his AP ratios stupid and he never dies. Dumb. (His ult is super good at initiating, though)

Great Picks: These mages can do well in a plethora of situations, but have a few weaknesses, such as the inconsistency Nidalee and Mordekaiser’s damage, the farm dependency of Karthus and Vladimir, or the short range of Akali. But other than these few weaknesses, these characters are extremely powerful.

Good Picks: All of these characters are very strong in some regards but have big weaknesses that the other team can exploit. For example, Zilean falls off hard late game if you don’t pair him with a really good, hybrid damage output carry like Irelia or Corki. The two characters I had trouble putting in this tier are Zilean, because he’s really amazing, just he fills more of a support role late game than a mage role, and Cassiopeia, because she’s very strong in lane, but I don’t really see her being picked at high levels except to counter specific characters (read: Rumble and Vladimir). She also requires an insanely good player, but you can see some of her potential on players like SYDTKO, SK Ocelote, and Hypnosiz.

Situational Picks: These characters are unordered in the list. Heimer you can pick for super defensive comps like the aforementioned Nidalee/Heimer push/poke strategy. Kennen and Kog’maw are both very strong on 3 mage teams, but it’s hard to carry a game with them in the standard US or EU style (1 or 2 AP carries per team). LeBlanc is an amazing counter to TF, but not great at much else (would like to see how she fares against Brand and Orianna more, though). Morgana is great when paired with certain characters, such as Corki, whose only real weakness is CC. Poppy is great if you’re Doublelift.

Bad Picks: Swain got nerfed hard and doesn’t really do much that other characters can’t do better (I wonder if he even still has the advantage against Vlad in lane…). Veigar requires too much farm and is just bad all around, his only good spell is his stun and it’s on too long of a cooldown, and his mana costs are atrocious. Katarina has an outdated mage design, as you can stop her damage super easily, whereas every good mage is either able to frontload all their burst (like Annie, who can do all her damage in a few seconds, then even if she gets focused down she’s still done her job) or is at least able to Zhonya’s and keep safe while it goes (Fiddlesticks, Kennen, Morgana, etc). Katarina can do neither.

AP Carries have been taken in a very boring direction ever since the original changes to Zhonya’s Ring, that gave it the 20% more AP passive. The best AP carries now are the ones who scale extremely well with AP, and are either super safe (Brand), have a lot of supportive options (Twisted Fate), or both (Anivia, Orianna). Before, the types of CC you brought, mobility, base damages, things like that were a lot more important, but that’s fallen off with recent item changes. Here’s hoping they’ll bring some of it back. WTB a high burst damage mage who doesn’t scale at all with AP :D
