League of Legends!

[NYJetsfan]

Yeah, the genre is great. The people in the community well.....

I don't take it all that serious, so it is fun. Haven't played in ages though. Will probably get back into the scene when DOTA 2 comes out.

Yeah this genre community is one of the most unforgiving in all of gaming. It gets brutal.

And ditto on dota 2. I play dota quite a bit.

The community is unforgiving, whatever, it's a pretty hardcore genre. I wish people were nicer but I could say that any multiplayer game in general. As for the people on the forums and the people I've met in games vs. bots, they've been helpful. The other night I played a game vs. bots where one of my teammates was a level 30 on his other account. Instead of looking down on us and being an ******* he was very nice and helpful, offering up a lot of tips.

Re: League of Legends!

I'm probably gonna start playing this this weekend. One of my friends has been trying to get me to play for a while now.

I used to love DOTA, although I couldn't really compete with the hardcore folks — I even got cussed out one time for having the audacity to try to download the map by joining a lobby game. Always cracked me up how mad people would get when they have a teammate that hasn't logged 50+ hours in-game. Everyone's new once.

Once I've played a few rounds and sort of know what I'm doing I'll post my username and add a few of you folks.

Re: League of Legends!

I decided to give this a try. Really easy to pick up, with my Dota experience. Seems like an easier, more newb friendly, version of Dota. Not that it's a bad thing, as Dota can be very, very intimidating to start out.

I do like the champion, mastery, and rune system that adds an almost RPG aspect and gives you a reason to keep playing.

Pretty good experience.

Anyone still play this? I just started today, finally. I'm pretty bad but it's fun.

I still play this quite often. It's been hard to find a good balance between this and Skyrim. If you want to add me, my name is "FatNinjaMan" on the NA server.

Thought I'd give this a shot too. Perceptor2099 is my summoner name

Re: League of Legends!

I still play this game whenever I get the chance. I usually roll with Tristana. I'm about to try a new build with her this week so here's to hoping my numbers continue to get better.

Add me if you want to play - R1zzo23

Re: League of Legends!

I have played tutorial games of this a few times but was foolishly intimidated by the rep of the community to go online. I was thinking of getting Smite but knowing a few OSers are active maybe I'll give LoL a look again this weekend. I'll post my handle when i log in and discover it.

My summoner name is Wedgeit (apparently I was enjoying that Coors Light ad when I first found LoL)

You only need smite if you're jungling, and considering how new you are to the game I'm assuming you're doing that yet. Heal, flash, ignite and exhaust are about the only summoner spells I would recommend to somebody new. Maybe clarity if you're playing a heavy caster.

Been playing great with Tristana lately, but thinking of changing my abilities from Ignite-Ghost to Ignite-Flash. Any pros and cons I should know about between Ghost and Flash?

Most people would say flash is better but really they are equal. It really comes down to personal preference but when deciding between the two consider your champ's abilities. For example with Tristana you have the rocket jump and her ultimate pushes you away from the target. Those are two abilities that act as a flash, though not quite as potent.

At the very least try flash out for like a 10-game stretch and see how it feels. I've always preferred flash over ghost myself, just because I am more comfortable using flash.

Flash pros: instant GTFO! ability, can flash even while under several slows/stuns/snares, also you can flash through some walls.
Flash cons: easy to flash the wrong way or into a wall. also it's just a temporary jump. If you flash away from Yi guess what, he's still catching you.

Ghost pros: covers good distance and very good on slow-moving ranged champions. Also I think only Rammus can catch you while in ghost, and only when his ram ability is charged up.
Ghost cons: can't ghost through a wall or barrier, can't ghost out of most stuns/slows/snares.

Thanks for this. I think what is making me consider Flash is the fact that when I'm in serious danger of dying, sometimes I hit Ghost and it becomes wasted because I die anyways. I'll have to change it to Flash for a few games and see how that works out for me.
