What Your League of Legends Role Says About You
http://gaming.stackexchange.com

Ah League, one of the most popular free-to-play games in all the world. On average 27 million people play this game every day, and approximately 67 million different users play per month. Although not everyone follows the competitive aspect of it, it is one of the largest eSports out there as well as one of the top broadcasted games on Twitch.tv daily. Even if you've never played League of Legends, chances are you've heard of it at some point or another. This MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) it based on real time strategies and quick tactics, which then causes the player to assume different roles throughout their playtime of the game. Stereotypes for roles are something that has long circulated in the League community as well as even breaking down into a stereotype for the 129 playable champions in the game. These 129 characters break down into 5 roles, Mid lane, AD Carry, Support, Top Lane and Jungle, with some champions being playable in multiple positions. Here's what your position says about you:

Top Laner:


Top laners are considered the outcast or loner role. This role would rather the game be a strict one on one than anything else. They usually are tanky and are meant to grind out and plow through the enemy minions. Their only goal is to win lane, and they're going to do their best to do it alone. Top laners often ignore the rest of the positions and only teleport into other lanes if absolutely necessary. This is their game to win and they're not there to carry you.

Jungler:


Junglers are gluttons for punishment, because basically anything bad that happens in the game at all is somehow their fault. They are macro game players, more concerned with ebb and flow than with being the big play-maker. Rhythm and structure people, and having the free flow to run after whatever their heart desires. But if the Jungler doesn't gank accordingly, you're going to have a bad time with your teammates.

Mid Laner:


Mid Laners tend the most self-centered personality types, which is fitting after all given that they are literally in the center of both the map and majority of fighting scenarios. Most likely to think they're capable of doing anything, often overextending and dying first but that's okay with them as long as they get the trade.

AD Carry:


With the name Carry, ADC players often see themselves as the best players in their game. Even though they can one shot kill their enemies, they often overextend and find themselves in trouble. This position has lethal attack moves but is often lacking in the defense area so they are killed as easily as they kill other champions. They usually are quick to throw out the blames in the game and are more concerned with their kill-death ratio than anything. They also tend to think they lay claim to the minions in their lane, often bullying the support into a standby.

Support:

There are two types of support player, the quiet types who are super passive and those that take charge telling everyone where they need to be in the mom role. Usually disregarded, but supporting champs are the unsung heroes of their respective games whether it's laying down massive stuns or healing other champs. Support characters are the most utilized and least respected, but that's okay because they know they're needed.

Bonus:

Fill:


Although fill isn't technically a role, these players basically will do any position that hasn't been taken (usually support). These players are usually the passive people who can't make up their mind so they get bullied into roles, and are usually passive about most things in life. Do us all a favor and make up your mind.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
