Why some players should be gone or atleast recieve warnings:
No one in their right mind agrees with anything that Levidia says. His posts are outrageous, and really invoke no discussion aside from people pointing out his retarded thoughts. His blogs are full of biased material that litter the front page. Every single comment he makes is downvoted a 1000 times, and with good reason too. I think its about time we all get rid of this thorn in our community. His discsussions go nowhere, and all it does is turn newer players away from the community. I don't know if we're all getting trolled, but I am willing to take the risk to say this. I think the members of this community as well as the staff should atleast discuss this.
People can say "Yo don't read his blogs lol, you waste your own time lolol". But quite honestly, to grow this site, you really have to flush out some of the bad content. People might also say "LoL is you dumb, Ming trolls just as much and he's a writing staff". Well the thing is that everyone knows Ming is trolling, this is no surprise. It is advertised as such. However, someone such as Levidia is being dead serious, and it really isn't helping anyone.
But yeah anyway enough on that.
Rogue hints:
I have been playing a few rogues around different servers, but every time I play mediocre rogues (1900-2200), there are some major flaws with almost EVERY rogue I've seen. Today I'll go over 3 small (or big depending on how you look at it) things that you need to do right.
1. Positioning: This is pretty much mainly vs hunter teams, as every other team you are ALMOST forced to tunnel vision warlocks and whatnot. Chasing hunters will leave you cooldown-less very early. So do NOT chase hunters unless you have a purpose to. Either put enough pressure to make a paladin bubble, or actually go with the intent to kill. But if you're blowing prep vanish and the pally is still pretty ahead, I suggest doing a 180 and heading towards the nearest pillar instead. Also, if the paladin is kiting you toward his healer, only good things can come out of it. You can do drive-by shivs, drive-by gouges, kicks, etc. Also in some maps, blinding a healer is hard to come by because the match is so spread out. If you are being kited into no-mans land, just turn back and get a restealth (which is key, openers are huge). Also, if you are focused, it might not be a bad thing. Use pillars to LoS damage, and get restealths to counter with your own offense. Also popping sprint is a good idea to avoid CC. Sprinting towards a pillar to avoid a CC is not always a bad idea. But beware, 3/4 of the arena might be covered in a frost trap.
2. CoS, and other important CDs: After every match, ask yourself when you popped CoS. It is probably one of the single most important cooldown right up there with vanish, and even more important when used with vanish. So many terrible rogues use cloak on dumb things like "preventing" sheeps and fears, or using it on DR'd CCs that can be dispelled, or when your team is not in trouble. First of all, a warlock should not be able to get a shadow cast off, and you should never lose him until he ports. Second of all, your healer will eventually get raped with CC and that cloak will become very handy. Only use it if you are 85% or more sure that you can get a kill with it. Also, don't be dumb with vanish. Use it offensively and defensively, but half the time you can just LoS and get a restealth. If you are in trouble, then you are in trouble and you are kind of forced to use it. Just don't put yourself in those situations if you can help it.
3. Pressure: Know how to cause more pressure than the other team. For example, running after a hunter will give the other team more pressure. Pressure is huge in deciding games. The team that can continually play offensive will win 99.9% of the time. Know when to play defensive, and when to turn it around. When you are focused, that dosn't mean play defensive the whole game. Try to get as many restealths as possible. Rogue openers are pretty much the only thing we have left. Every CS-M-KS-M-M-Evisc is huge amount of damage, and if the healer is CC'd, even for 3-4 seconds, its generally something thats really hard to recover from.
Anyway, some pretty basic ****.

You can't simply TELL a player how to play, they need to explore and perfect the essence of Rogue by themselves if they wish to be a truly good player. Following instructions will only leave you mediocre no matter what.

I've never liked a Levidian Blog and his comments are often a load of **** too but as far as I'm aware these are the blog posting rules: http://wowriot.gameriot.com/blogs/GameRiot-The-Blog/GameRiot-Posting-Rules and he's not broken them. Anyway, having read your "Don't waste CoS yo" blog, I'm not sure you're the one to be asking them to flush away the ****.
