Ah, a LoL thread. Very nice. I've indulged myself in LoL for the past few days now.... but sadly, I can't play with any of you people. I'm in Asia, so I play in Garena LoL server. D:
anywho, if you're in Garena, add me up [Summoner name : Gazelle]
EDIT : I main Urgot. Planning to unlock Sona and Kassadin once I've gotten enough points.

Funnily enough, my username on LoL is the same as everywhere else, including here. I am on a US server, I just can't remember which one...
Anyway, I usually play Zillian, Soraka, or Alistair (only when I have to for Al though), and I am trying to earn Sona after an epic game I had when she was free and I got 0/0/39. Also trying to get Kennen after I got pentakills on my first try with him in a game stacked with level 25-30 players (I'm level 13)

So i read this thread and decide to d/l LoL, just to see what the hubbub is about. Sounds pretty fun. Downloaded/updated in half an hour, rearing to go, launch the game... 3 hour queue. The only condolence i get is a flimsy meme reference 'Your position in queue: Over 9000' - ha ha bloody ha. Go on forums - people complaining about having to take LoL as a full time job just to keep up with champion releases. Many 'RP boycott' threads.

Guys i'm not liking the sound of this so far. -.-

Question: Are there such queues on NA server?

yes, there are queues on the north american server

the only reason the price of champions is even an issue is because the game designs itself around competition, and you are at a more severe disadvantage for every champion you don't own

K so need tips... played a few games coop vs. ai, bought 2 runes, got like 700ip left over: should i buy one of the cheaper champions, or stick with the beginner selection until i can afford a better one?

BTW yes, this means i did eventually get through the queue. *party*

Since you're new, I'd recommend trying out heroes from each free week (they automatically show up in your hero selection screen and the selection rotates every week) and seeing who you like. I've made a few buys that I've regretted because I only read the champ's skill set and thought that I would have liked playing them, but once I actually bought them and tried them out, realized that I thought they were boring as hell. Have never played them since and pretty much wasted the IP when I could have bought someone nicer.

So, try before you buy. Got it.

Is it the case that you can only have one person playing each hero in a team? So, no team has two of the same heroes?

Don't buy runes till you at least reach level 20 summoner, it's just a waste to use lower tier runes

This, but it's still nice to get accustomed to the rune page and know what you can and can't do.

As for me, I usually main certain types of champs, so my rune page is mostly all for that type of hero.

K guys new problem... I'm not getting any kills. >=O

I've been using Sivir, running round in my lane doing stuff. See, here's my problem; i often get most assists and buildings destroyed, but i can never actually nail a kill. I don't understand. xD

Yeah, knowing who you can go 1v1 against takes a bit of time to get used to.

Haha and yeah, fighting under an enemy tower definitely is not a good idea unless you know you can kill under it and escape without dying. Each turret hit deals 2 bars of damage (200 health), so judge accordingly if you are going to actually do something like that. XD

Well, i've got a few more days of playing during which i can blame all my failures on me being a beginner. After that, either i start getting better or i don't and i start stabbing myself and quit. =D

Also, with Youumuu's Ghost Blade (not sure of spelling, can't remember it), is it a homage to Touhou/something else or vice versa?

A lot of people on games like League of Legends are still beginners (or making very beginner mistakes) even if they have been playing for months. XD

And yeah, a lot of items in LoL's shop are references to other games. You are correct about Youmuu's Ghostblade. :D

Really? I would have imagined that many people play LoL and other such games because they've converted from DotA and consequently have an intrinsic knowledge of the game mechanics.

In any case, i guess i'll take it as it comes. What i have now is 1.) don't buy champs until you've played with them and know what's fun and what's not and 2.) don't waste ip on runes before lvl 20 summoner.

And 3.) don't attack champs under enemy towers. -.-

Tomorrow morning = LoL marathon. Wake up at 5 to start queuing... go back to sleep for 4 hours... wake up at 9 and play. =D

LoL is incredibly different from DotA and HoN. I don't know how many DotA players I showed LoL to, only to have them flip it off and move to HoN.

XD DotA players are much more likely to have higher stats than you and will be queued with others who have similar stats since they already understand the game mechanics.

I used to play some HoN back when it was in beta but stopped when it went retail and cost $30 for an account. I only play LoL off and on now on nights when I feel like dealing with the community. Haha if you were on US servers, I would be up for playing a game or two with you, but I see you're on EU. XD Best of luck to you, lol.

@Xi: IMO, I think DotA would be top tier in terms of difficulty, while HoN is a step below, leaving LoL on the bottom. LoL certainly is very casual in comparison to DotA and HoN. It's much more fast paced and you don't have to worry about denying towers or creeps or other teammates and you don't have to buy an item in order to recall back to your base. lol

Very surprising - to me at least. Then again, i don't know much about DotA, i just assumed based on the moba genre.

@neko Thank you :3

As for the matchups, i was just worried that there'd be SO MANY PRO PEOPLE that even the worst would be awesome in comparison.

Btw, "lol" - i c wat u did thar.

Sivir is definitely not a great choice for killing champs at the moment, she's in need of serious buffs and is only really good for pushing at the moment

you can only afford to buy 1 champion, really

the rest of your ip has to be saved up for when you hit level 20 to buy tier 3 runes, otherwise you'll be at a pretty big disadvantage

Yeah, each game (if you win) gives you around 90 to 110 PI. Derp champions 6.300 PI :/



Ranked one, I tought we were going to loose (derp 4 carrier).

You guys, prefer to buy runes instead of champions?. I haven't bought runes yet, I just want to own all the champions >_<.

I have always thought soraka sucked and still do. She sucks for the same reason morgana sucks: high cooldowns, useless afterwards. What's worse is that soraka actually provides less support than morgana, and substantially less damage. Soraka is just an aura bot basically.

I guess some people just weigh her health/mana restoration early game heavily.

Ahah, awesome IP boost.

Anyways i've been playing the game some more (as Kassadin) and i'm starting to notice that, much of the time, our turrets and inhibitors start to get smashed BEFORE we can push on into their base and take their Nexus. I have this moment in the last 10 mins of the game that they're going to win, and then miraculously we start working as a team and push back.

My question is, does this often happen, or am i/other random solo queuers just bad at teamwork?

(suspect it might somewhat be the latter)

So i played some Twisted Treeline earlier today, and found it much easier than Summoner's - not just in terms of pushes being much easier. I got a lot more early game ganks (as Kassadin) than on Summoner's and got on with mah build much quicker.

It's a bit more complicated but the basics are the same - ganking, farming, teamfights... it's a bit harder in that the items are a bit IMO, but it's got more champions, as is really fun :D

I wonder. What makes a person want NOT to play a map perfectionised over 6 years, and instead take an unbalanced new one?

Also, if you like fun you will like HoN. But HoN was really only good up too like 8-10 months ago. Now they have realized DotA 2 is on the way, and they are spewing out skins and heroes for people to buy. And that leads to no time for game and hero balancing.
