im an irish player 2-3 of my friends also play

Ironically, choosing Pantheon is a really good way to learn the game. Pantheon is a really strong champ (early and mid as explained), melee based and can tank which means you last longer in team fights. He's also, commonly, used top lane which means you're a solo lane (most of the time). Combine all of the above and you have a really solid recipe to learn basic mechanics; last hitting, pushing, global ult, etc.

Good luck.

Add me in game at any time (I play A LOT) at: IRLSinisteR

PS: WHO WON BETWEEN CRS AND TSM LAST NIGHT?!

EDIT: Gotta love Reddit.

The signs for that are closed and have been since early this week.

Iv played dota a bit but not league of legends so just out of interest why do people prefer this over dota and vice versa, I'm not wanting to start a flame war but just curious. Is it because they played this first and got used to characters and styles or is there extra gameplay mechanics that are not in the other game? Or is there other reasons?

I mainly prefer LoL over DOTA due to stuns in LoL not lasting for 17 minutes.

LoL is a lot easier for a new player to pick up. Works more intuitively and the graphics are far more clear and defined. The likes of HoN I just look at and wonder wtf is going on.

The gameplay seems more fluids in League of Legends compared to Dota2 and in Dota2 if you fall behind, you're ****ed! At least that's my experience.

Current LCS Allstar EU standings:

Jungler: DiamondProx
Midlane: Alex Ich
Toplane: sOAZ
ADC: Genja
Support: Edward

Such a pity only 3 from any 1 team can go. If all could go we'd just be sending Gambit !

So that means Snoopeh is going?

Pretty interesting. Probably have it spot on too. Saint votes Dyrus over Voy? Also, Regi!

Ravenworld

Hello guys! I am Ravenworld, player support coordinator at Riot games and I live in Dublin. As you may know, our European offices are located here. It is therefore easy to go casually and play someday at an internet cafe and have some fun!

If you live close by and you would like a weekend to meet up, send me your suggestions for a meeting place (an internet cafe that we could find enough computers) and I can arrange something!

You can send me your suggestions at my email: ravenworld@riotgames.com, or via facebook Ada Spiratou (Ravenworld) or my page Riot Ravenworld, at my tweeter @RiotRavenworld, in game you can find me usually on EUNE server in PlayWithRiot chat channel, on our official forums or of course right here! xD

Looking forward to your suggestions and possibly meet up with you guys!

Sam is bad at all things.

I've been playing LoL for a little under a year now, which I know isn't long compared to how long others have played for. I'm only Silver IV, although I'm not really that interested in playing ranked, normals just seem more fun, especially when you have a five man premade.

Feel free to add me if you want, my summoner name is 'Kyubeyy'. I mainly play top/jungle, but I'm willing to play anywhere.

I also have a Raidcall group set up, it's mainly an Irish group, but we have a few English/Scottish guys in the group as well. The group ID is 5558321, come join us if you'd like!

Oooh a Rioter! We're moving up in the world!

Unfortunately as a blow in to Dublin, I don't know any good gaming café's. The only one I'm even aware of off the top of my head is the one on liffey street (Extreme? Xtreme? something like that), but I've never been in there and only know of it because of it's position between Gamers World and Games Workshop, so can't say if it's any good, or even still open...

Basing this off a very old LAN I went to I direct you towards this thread.

It was the build up of a LAN from literally nothing to something that filled the entire bottom floor and half of the top floor for over 12 hours. The gaming centre you're thinking of is the XGC (where the LAN I'm about to link took place) and it is still open. I walk by it everyday on my way to work. The location is ideal. The computers, not so much. However, the issues shouldn't be as large for LoL as they were for over 35 simultaneous log ins as they were then.

@IRL_Sinister: That looks like it went pretty well, although I probably shouldn't have clicked on a link to some photo's from the event: Made me feel like an old man ;p

Didn't know that place was still going at all. Last time I was in there was like 2007 and it was full of xboxes downstairs . is that still the case ? or they been replaced by pcs ?

Good thing about lol is it doesnt need a beast of a computer to run.

Consoles are upstairs. There's about 30 PCs downstairs and plenty of space for BYOC upstairs.

I do not have a phone number, can try and call in when I get a chance.

TBH XGC is a ****hole of the highest order, or it was when I was there a year ago.

TBH, that description can apply to every internet café I've ever been in, gaming or not
The one exception went out of business shortly after a ****tier, place opened up across the street, which was typical really.

I'm sure people are happy to consider alternatives if you know any? (Kind of surprised there haven't really been other suggestions yet.)

<derp>

Came across a team with 5 smites once. They raped our jungles all the time and took every dragon/baron there was. They would just run in even if we were doing them and smite, smite, smite, smite, smite. "Blue Team has slain the Baron"

Was damn annoying ! Our team didnt have a buff all game. But they spent so much time messing around in juingles we outleveled and outfarmed them. Plus having various other summoner spells helped us too. It was the 2nd most mental game ive ever played.

The 1st being vs 5 briusers all with tp. Game started, they all went top, constantly tping top. The whole match was just in the toplane ... good times. Need more games like that, it was deadly fun .

IRL_Sinister

Double jungle is a legit strategy in YOLOq :P

What am I looking for in that pic? Typical retarded chat?
It's the worst part of LOL
