About me
I study Medicine, currently finishing up my studies. In my spare time I like to play League of Legends, watch movies/series together with my girlfriend and play around on guitar or piano when the mood strikes me. I read a lot; Scientific articles related to Medicine and occasionally Physics, but also Sci-Fi and Fantasy books and have been a long-time lurker on the LoL Wiki pages, until I finally decided to register!

I started playing League of Legends around Maokai/Jarvan release (end of february 2011) after my brother introduced me to the game. I've been playing on and off since, at first mostly custom games and Coop vs AI, trying out all the different champions, getting my runes together etc. I met a wonderful girl on LoL, with whom I discovered a lot more common ground than just the game. After the European server split I ended up on EUW and she transfered soon after. We've been together ever since (although unfortunately on a LAT-basis for now). With her, I transitioned into more normal games (and lots of ARAM once that got it's own queue!) and recently dared to venture into Ranked with her by my side, with decent results so far. (Life's good, but I'll stop nauseating you now, readers)

Playstyle
I see myself as a teamplayer, generally preferring to both encourage and enable my team to work together towards victory. As a Jack-of-all-Trades, I will communicate on preferences and try to fill for the team's needs in champ select. ADC/Marksman is the role I feel least comfortable in (so far), but I will play it if needed. For every role there's a small pool of champions which I currently prefer, although this list evolves with time and can be adjusted for team needs or counterpick strategies (although I wholeheartedly agree that any well-played champion is better than a badly played counterpick).

I am usually a pretty passive laner, meaning I will probably neither hardcore feed OR hardcore carry. I feel that I oftentimes do not punish sloppy play from my opponent as well as I could, so that's something I'm working on, because I think that a flexible playstyle adds to a player's overall value. I often catch myself ganking (as jungle) / roaming (as mid or top after first tower falls) to other lanes/objectives to assist there more than farming, occasionally causing myself to fall behind in farm/levels when nothing comes of it; something I'm striving to assess better.

I take most of my games (even ARAM and Normal) rather seriously and will rarily, if ever, troll or feed intentionally. At the same time I try to keep a breezy and positive attitude towards my allies, even when things are going sour. I dislike flamers, ragers, overly arrogant players or premature pessimistic attitudes (resulting in premature surrender votes, intentional feeding or defeatist chat); sometimes even a positive attitude won't help when 2 or more allies spiral the team spirit out of control. Overall, I'd prefer to lose a good game, over winning a bad game.
