League of Legends
 

I could not find another thread of this here so I made a new one.

Q: What is League of Legends?

A: It's a freaking awesome game of 3v3 or 5v5 where you control a champion and bash other people's faces in with magic or lampposts, pushing down towers until you finally infiltrate the enemy base and gloat in their faces.

No seriously though, it's basically DotA or HoN, if you know those two, but this game is completely free to play. If you don't know what those two are, it's basically World of Warcraft meets Starcraft. And if you don't know what those two are, it's basically a game of strategy, but with role-playing game elements, such as leveling up.

In the beginning, you're really playing for the feel of the environment, but once you get more experience, you'll see that it is a very deep strategy game that is constantly being adjusted and updated, keeping you on your toes.


Q: Why can't I just play HoN or DotA?

A: You could, but this game is free, which means it's that much easier to get your friends to play. Graphics, while worse than HoN and DotA in comparison, are still good enough that it won't affect your gameplay. You'll still have the whole experience without being interrupted by bad graphics. But if your concern is that you WANT to spend money, well, that is also an option if you want. There are certain things in the game you can buy with money, but nothing that'll give you an advantage in the game itself.


Q: Hmm, I'm not totally convinced.

A: There are tons of features in this game that you'll never get bored of. Masteries, in-game items, summoner systems, runes, over 60 champions to choose from, 2 maps, tournaments and events, different queues for both casual and competitive gamers, it'll keep itself fresh forever. If anything, just try it. If you don't like it, uninstall it. Not everyone will like it, but since it's free, the only thing you have to lose by trying it is a little bit of your time. And that goes for anything else you try.


Enjoy!

Wineandbread, like usual. I'll be happy to play with you guys too, if you'll take a noob :')

Re: League of Legends
 

Hey phe0nix, Skype's a lot better for chat IMO. That's what me and mah buddies use.

Re: League of Legends
 

Just started playing and I love it. summoner name is coldshy.

Re: League of Legends
 

Oh fun, and yeah skype is pretty easy to use, free and has good sound quality.

I main Rammus and Mundo (because he's fun, I don't care that there's better dps, Mundo goes where he pleases) and sometimes easy-mode Kog'Maw.

I don't really play ranked games because I can't be bothered but I do enjoy me some LoL.

Re: League of Legends
 

As a matter of fact im on right now prolly for the rest of the night

Re: League of Legends
 

Definitely, level 11, names Naletol- I play Annie and Swain

EDIT: Oh, and Rammus too

Re: League of Legends
 

holy **** you tracked me down


and wait Chauster is actually Chauster?

Re: League of Legends
 

game rules hehu

also i started a rammus main account. its about level 6 now. add DecrepitDeath if you wanna OWN IT UP WITH SOME NOOBS (aka get wrecked because my team keeps feeding and does stupid ****)

Re: League of Legends
 

yeah, chauster is chauster and he won the wgc **** so hes too good to play with us
lmfao

Re: League of Legends
 

So what you're telling me is that he can beat me in Stepmania and League of Legends.

Re: League of Legends
 

u mad bro ?

I laughed when I saw that though haha

Re: League of Legends
 

he can beat you, me, lurker, paex, nick, stargroup, and whoever the **** else he wants
he pubstomped with us once but i wasnt there, ask stargroup about it

Re: League of Legends
 

all i know is that he solo qs pretty much all the time

Re: League of Legends
 

I played one match with him, and he basically blasted our elos through the roof. everyone on our team got COMPLETELY ripped, except for chauster who somehow managed to go 1/0/1 or something like that

Re: League of Legends
 

do any of you ****s play hon

Re: League of Legends
 

HoN is gay and for being a game you have to buy, its kinda behind LoL

Re: League of Legends
 

My only gripe with HoN is the pacing

If I wanted DotA on cocaine, I'd play myself some HoN.
but it ends up not working out too well

Re: League of Legends
 

This was a reply in another thread. I'd elaborate on the other posts but you'll understand what I'm trying to point out here:

Re: League of Legends
 

if I ever get bored of LoL which I doubt so far, I'll buy HoN

Re: League of Legends
 

I got bored after an hour.

Because that was how long the first game I played had gone on for and we had barely made it into enemy territory. Zzz.

Re: League of Legends
 

Lrn2play.

Then it won't be boring and you'll be wishing for 60 minute games because of how awesome they are instead of 25 minute dominations.

Re: League of Legends
 

@Litodude that must be the most ridiculous description about LoL that I've ever read. Almost everything you said there doesn't make sense because you don't even know the game that well.

Re: League of Legends
 

1) is true; everybody who plays lol is horrible except for people who have regular teams in ranked 5v5
2), based on how killing your own creeps+losing money when you die = needing to find some way around getting items in dota/hon, is true
3)... yeah pretty much rofl, the idea of a "tank" in lol is basically "champ that can be built to ignore tower damage"
4) however is wrong
you do not need to spend real money on anything in the game except for skins or certain bundles, but usually the skins just introduce some gimmicky theme (hippie zilean! tango evelynn! GENTLEMAN CHO'GATH!) so you can just ignore them, and everything in the bundles (minus the skins) can be purchased using game points
ultimately success in lol is based around how the teams' champions line up, and the strategy is basically "you kill them, don't let them kill you"

this is exactly the same in lol wtf

anyway, i would love to try dota at some point, just cuz
it'd be hard as **** to remove the lol goggles but i'd try to look at the game as objectively as possible

you're 15 so i'm assuming you didn't even try

Re: League of Legends
 

I would have typed a response similar to this for Litodude, but this man sums it up nicely

Re: League of Legends
 

not neatly organized and no recommended items? hmm I guess you're right

also everyone must play this game

Re: League of Legends
 

GTFO [30]

Re: League of Legends
 

that fiddlesticks icon looks badass

Re: League of Legends
 

because that makes all the difference.

And like I said, it was my first game, so meh. I like the concept but it just isn't really my kind of game, kthx.

Re: League of Legends
 

this is a legitimate reason to not like the game

this is not

Re: League of Legends
 

also the interface design was horrible, I hope they've fixed it in the last month since I played

otherwise ick.

Re: League of Legends
 

damn an interface that tells you everything you need to know while not being annoying as hell must be terrible


unlike most barmods for WoW which are super useful like this

Re: League of Legends
 

this

Re: League of Legends
 

No I meant as in, how the launching/lobby/entering a game/etc. process works. It's weird as hell.

Re: League of Legends
 

I admit the partying system is majorly flawed but I think everything else works seamlessly, and it is very simple to navigate.

Re: League of Legends
 

Fair enough, but at first it made me go...wat.

but wait i'm only 15 so obviously i didn't try hard enough.

Although, i'm fairly interested in giving it another go. My only other gripe is that on my netbook I can't reach the bottom of the main interface screen [namely, buddy list and friends chat], but i'm grateful that I can even play without plugging in my old external monitor.

Re: League of Legends
 

Herp derp.

Re: League of Legends
 

I didn't pay a dime, so i'm not complaining ~

except for the occasional bitching about the resolution

Re: League of Legends
 

just switch to windowed and shrink the box a little

Re: League of Legends
 

A netbook will play this? That's pretty impressive. Or I don't know **** about netbooks these days.

So, anyone do any unorthodox builds? I like my dps Rammus.

Re: League of Legends
 

what lurker said, you can resize the client window

Re: League of Legends
 

I've done sunfire Shaco, is that unorthodox enough?

Re: League of Legends
 

hmm, windowed mode lags like hell [fullscreen I cap at 18fps if i'm lucky, anywhere from 8~18], but worth a try, thanks.

Re: League of Legends
 

i was talking about having the client windowed so you could actually see the friend list/chat/request and whatever else is on the bottom of the screen, not in game
holy dumb fck

Re: League of Legends
 

guys, i need the vent info, i reinstalled it by accident rofl

Re: League of Legends
 

Used to see that pretty often until they took off clone item procs so it's not as useful.

Re: League of Legends
 

AP mother****ing Yi

Re: League of Legends
 

Alpha Strike and Meditation both scale with AP. AP damages towers. Highlander gives AS.

What exactly is unorthodox here?

Re: League of Legends
 

you best be trolling
I remembered the last time I used AP to attack a tower






I was heimerdinger

Re: League of Legends
 

rofl I don't know why but this made me laugh hard

Re: League of Legends
 

client windowed = windowed mode = ??
Just wondering.

Re: League of Legends
 

When you log into the game at first, you get a window where all of the interface stuff is. This is the client.

After you finish selecting champions, the client places itself into the background of your computer and opens up the actual game, which can be fullscreen or windowed, depending on your settings.

You said you couldn't see your buddy list because the window was too big. The buddy list is accessed from the client, not the game. Resize the client, not the game.

Re: League of Legends
 

ah, okay. I know I had set the game to fullscreen but the client seemed to be somewhat windowed, can't remember if I tried resizing. thanks. ~

Re: League of Legends
 

DotA 2


that is all.

Re: League of Legends
 

tieks is retarded as ****

that is all.

Re: League of Legends
 

nah that's HoN
LoL is basically cory in the house as an RTS

Re: League of Legends
 

so yeah more people should play this game

Re: League of Legends

<3 u

Re: League of Legends
 

Cool people who play this game, my summoner name is Soverence, i like to play fiddle, send me a fr and we can play some time =D

Re: League of Legends
 

Am I cool enough?

I added you.

EDIT: Holy balls, I'm your sig.

Re: League of Legends
 

Its such a honor to meet you again xDD, and i accepted it lol

Re: League of Legends
 

I really want to try this out but I'm afraid I'm going to get too addicted and it's going to affect me doing my schoolwork D:

Re: League of Legends
 

It is really time consuming, i am only level 14 right now and 1 5 v 5 game takes on average 50 minutes, i hate too see how long a game goes with all level 30s x.x

Re: League of Legends
 

Aaaaahhhh screw it, it looks too awesome to not be played. Downloading right now

Re: League of Legends
 

All I know is, when DotA 2 comes out, **** league of legends.

Re: League of Legends
 

I'm a 26 but play with mid-ELO 30s almost always and games last an average of an hour with my longest game being 95 minutes.

Also, C@!, send me a friend request if you want somebody to teach you how to play. My in-game name is Kibblre.

Re: League of Legends
 

pretty much, I really miss some of the hero playstyles from DotA that makes it such a balls-deep game

Re: League of Legends
 

Summoner Name = StiffNipplez (Add me for a few games when I'm around)

Main Heros - Miss Fortune, Master Yi, Jax, Teemo, Ryze, Critplank, Tristana, Garen, Nunu and last, but certainly not least Annie.

Level like, 28 or 29 ? Maybe 30 now, Idk.

Miss Fortune's balls are bigger then mine. Just sayin'.

Btw, it's TC_Chronichild420, damn my memory and it's forgetting of my old password.

Re: League of Legends
 

that's because people who are new to the game don't know how to push. the average game lasts around 40 minutes if you know what you're doing.

if the teams are really close and the match is really intense, sometimes it'll go to about an hour, but it really isn't realistic for it to go longer than 75 minutes.

and it's not really time consuming, but you do need to set a chunk of time if you want to play a match. the great thing about this game is that it's NOT and mmorpg, which means that you can play it on and off and you'll be fine. there's really no reason to grind if you're worried about it taking up too much time.

Re: League of Legends
 

Just sayin, had a game last a little under 2 hours yesterday. 114 minutes.

I played Galio, had a Twitch and a Trynd on 3 v 3 map.

Was against Garen, Xin Zhao, and Miss Fortune.

Helluva match, lost by ****ing backdooring MF when we pushed for what we thought was going to be the final push before we won.

Never push when the enemy DPS has a summoner spell teleport. ****. So annoying.

Re: League of Legends
 

a 3v3 lasting 114 minutes?
pics or it didnt happen

Re: League of Legends
 

I should have fraps'd the whole thing man, it was ****ing epic.

BTW, got my FFR account back.


SummonerTag - StiffNipplez (29) - Galio/MissFortune/Jax/Evelynn(Since she got un-nerfed from the latest patch , same with Jax ;D) are my favourites, but I play more heroes than just that.

Re: League of Legends
 

I really don't understand how that kind of game is possible, especially 3v3.

When you have a late game teamfight and someone initiates, chances are someone is going to lose, and during that time one of the teams has over a minute to take down at least one tower or inhibitor. Repeat, flush, rinse, and in about 10 minutes you should be done.

How both teams managed to last that long is completely baffling to me.
