#CODeSports v1.0.1 Ban List

Making this list of all banned items in the built in #CODeSports Ruleset seeing as they have now implemented it into Clan vs Clan! 
Just so it's easier to make a whole range of loadouts without any time constraints.

The Dissection of a Brackern - The Shadow Challenge - Final Part

For this final comparison, Skarner will be compared to Hecarim. 


With AoE Q attacks with reduced cooldown, a tanking aspect from a shield/heal, a sprint and CC, the two have, what I feel as similar kits and are played similarly in terms of their purpose.

The Dissection of a Brackern - The Sting - Part 3

So with Skarner's ability to affect the early game in terms of a ganking jungler considered and critiqued, it is time to move onto the most defining feature of this lone Brackern: His Stinger.

A unique suppression ultimate, where the target is left not only helpless and stunned, but also dragged around the battlefield at Skarner's whim and Skarner himself is left to do as he wishes.


For this comparison, CC Ultimates from other junglers will be looked at and damage will be disregarded for the purpose that the most important aspect being compared is the effects of the crowd control.

The Dissection of a Brackern - The Nitty Gritty - Part 2

After a quick overview of the rework, it is now into the nitty gritty comparisons.


Looking at the changes, the biggest ones are evidently Q and E, and Fracture [E] will be the main focus for this comparison between many other junglers and Skarner himself.

The Dissection of a Brackern - An In-Depth Look at Skarner's PBE Rework - Part 1

Hi everybody, Rob 'I am Lam' Lam here to share with you a comprehensive breakdown of the new Skarner rework that is looking to hit Live servers in the near future.

When it comes to League of Legends, I am fanatical about the competitive scene and all the work that has been accomplished on the eSports scene by RIOT, fanatical but unbiased. 
As a neutral viewer I like to appreciate each match for it's own quality and style, from stand-out individual performances of mechanics to exceptional team tactics and execution.
As a player, I didn't begin until introduced some way through Season 2 with Fiora the login screen I first recall and I have battled with constraints through University, employment, horrific internet and outdated hardware to play this game that captures my attention at all turns.
I won't claim to be a genius at this game, as my pretty horrific Ranked statistics would suggest I am rather awful, and mainly due to my own jitters and nerves that surround anything competitive be it a cricket match, Call of Duty GameBattles or a League Ranked game.
However my strength lies not in my ability to play, but my technical analysis of predominantly data and to extract conclusions, though made of opinion, that are as logical as I can guarantee.  


For RiotScruffy, let us dive into the Skarner rework that is currently on PBE...

32GB Premium Wii U is £179.99 at Argos/Very/Amazon, so we bought one!

Hello everyone, Kieran 'Mukea' Miller here again. So me and my fiancé have been wanting a Wii U since release, however we haven't been able to afford it till now. We had a PS4 pre-ordered but also realised we couldn't afford that so we gave the pre-order to my friend and we weren't really bothered about it seeing as every single good looking title got pushed back. We said we'd wait and pick one up at a later date, however, we then decided we didn't want the PS4 at all seeing as most of the games would also come out on PC and/or the 360 (Destiny) or the Wii U.

I was sitting there browsing Facebook when I saw a post from Official Nintendo Magazine saying how crazy it was that Argos were selling the 32GB Premium Wii U for £180! We jumped at this opportunity and got it put on her parents Argos card so we don't have to pay for it for six months, and I have to say, the Wii U is so much fun!

A Hearthstone tale of RNG, Legendaries and a probably very upset Warrior.


Hello everyone, Kieran 'Mukea' Miller here again and today "Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft" finally entered Open Beta! As of now it is only open in America but either way, in celebration of this I am bringing you a story that happened to me in a match earlier today. I am trying out a new script in which you can hover over the card names and it will show a tooltip of the card that I am talking about in order to make it easier.

Welcome to 5Piece Gamers!

Hello everyone my name is Kieran 'Mukea' Miller and I am one of the founding members of 5Piece Gaming.

We started as a small group of friends and since then members have added further friends to the group and we have become a community focussed on gaming. Now that life is getting in the way a bit more with members getting jobs etc we started doing less as a group.

This is our attempt to add an extra spark to our community and in doing so share our experiences and tales of gaming with you. We are a group of gamers, entertainers and artists who will be sharing our experiences, moments, thoughts and observations with you all through this blog.

At the moment I mainly play “Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft” and many of us play “League of Legends” but we play a wide range of games on top of this.

From me, and all the other members of our group, we welcome you to our blog, “5Piece Gamers”!
