Hey everyone,

we have just released a major update for Anook which introduces a ton of new features and improvements. We also recently upgraded our server infrastructure which should further improve page loading times. Here are the most important changes:

League of Legends

After waiting for an official League of Legends API for months and a recent conversation with Riot (in which they basically told us to not wait for it), we have decided to use an API provided by Elophant.com to finally allow you to add your League of Legends gaming identity to your Anook profile. We are quite happy with the result, but unfortunately the API had some minor issues in the last couple of days (right now US accounts are not available for example...), so we hope those problems will be fixed soon.

Please add your League of Legends summoner or check out existing identities.

Twitter

You are now able to link your Twitter account with your Anook profile! Once you added your Twitter account on your linked accounts page you can choose to automatically post your contributions to Twitter. This works with status messages, pictures and blog posts. If your message exceeds the 140 characters, Anook will add a link to your contribution. If you delete content on Anook, that was shared on Twitter, the related tweet will be automatically deleted as well. This makes it easy to post gaming related stuff to Anook without losing your Twitter reach.

Real-time feed/notifications

From now on you won't have to refresh Anook to see if someone interacted with your content, sent you a private message or posted something new. Anook will automatically add new content to your feed and notify you about new messages and notifications. If you are not actively browsing Anook, new notifications will be announced with an unobtrusive sound. This can be deactivated in the notification settings.

Other changes

• You can now add a related game to a contribution after you posted it
• You can now link your Skype username, which will only be visible to friends
• World of Warcraft progress now includes patch 5.2
• StarCraft II profile pictures now include HotS pictures
• Small improvements to events, blog posts and private messages
• Plus: Bugfixes, bugfixes, bugfixes

We still have a long road ahead and many features we want to include before we are ready to drop the "Beta". But Anook grows faster every day now and 2013 has been amazing so far! We have so much more lined up for the next months... Thank you for sticking around and thank you very much for your support and feedback!

See you on Anook,

Chocy

You've got 3 kinds of supports:
-Poke supports
-Sustain Supports
-Kill Supports

Poke supports task is to bully and poke the other enemy laners out of lane so you can deny gold and xp. These supports counter kill supports since they have to stay out of your way to avoid getting damage.This lane works best with champions who have hard poke such as caitlyn and ezreal.

Sustain Supports task is to keep you and your adc healthy and safe so he can survive harrasment and farm safely. These supports counter poke supports since thney can easily tank the damage and heal back the damage applied to you and/or adc. These supports work well with champions that don't have a natural escape of themselves such as varus or jinx.

Kill supports task is to secure kills for you adc and other players of your team. You bring fear in the eyes of your enemies with you mountain of cc and lockdowns. Kill supports counter Sustain supports because the tend to be very squishy and you can pick them off easily. Kill supports work well with ADCs with high kill potential such as Vayne and Jinx.

Poke supports are supports such as lulu and zyra.
Sustain supports are supports such as Soraka and sona.
Kill supports are supports such as thresh and blitzcrank.

The weakness of the supports are as this most of the time
Poke supports: Balanced in terms of health and damage.
Sustain Supports: Lack damage and Health but make up for that in heals and utility
Kill Supports: Have to go all in to make stuff happen. Don't usually have skills for escape. Are usually very tanky and can lock someone down completely.
