For mid I like buying crystaline flask and wards early on, then backing once I have the money for kages and another ward. Place traps the moment they are off cd to cover u from every angle.

Top though I can see the benefit of early armor but id still be tempted to go down the same route.

I did the same as AD carry twitch, flask and pots.

First back had 2 kills and 70cs. Sent the enemy vayne and lux back after a few minutes.

What makes you think it's the router? I've played with two people connected through an Eircom router just fine.

Strange i've played with 2 other people on the same connection.

Some obvious things would be:

Computer actually connected
2 separate LoL accounts
No severe firewalls blocking.
Can play it solely on each Comp.

What exactly happens?

There never was an energy regen mastery. There are runes and they're still there.

1 ward and 11 pots OP.

Does anyone have or know of a good guide for noobs ?
I've never played it, downloading atm.
But I hear the community is full of ***** who just aren't taken to assisting new players , especially ingame.

Everyones gotta start somewhere though, anyone any advice before I brave the backlash of the LoL ingame rage ?

A lot of useful FAQ's here: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=556519
Scroll down to watch some videos about the basics.

If you've never played a MOBA before it's going to take awhile to get used to. Just enjoy yourself and have fun with the leveling experience.

If someone is raging at you for no good reason just mute them and report them after the game.

And if you have questions just ask here or the above linked sub-forum of the official LoL forums. Reddit has a very active sub-reddit for LoL too and another that is specifically aimed at new players.

Today is the 4th time i have downloaded/installed LOL, and each previous time i played 1 game and thought it rubbish. Which is odd considering the amount of time i put into another MOBA called SMITE.

Although played a game today as Taric and really enjoyed it. I think playing as a support/tanky character is the best thing to do as a new player since there is more room for error. Thats the easy part though. Now i just gotta learn the skillset and how best to face 100+ champions :mad:

You should try out Nunu too. He's quite naturally tanky, has one high damage ability you need to keep track of and nice sustain in the form of a heal if you're being bullied in lane.

When I was starting out I watched the some champion spotlights on Riot Games' youtube channel between matches in order to get a feel for what enemy champs can do to me.

Also play with bots. I didn't when I started out and I quit a lot because of it. Later on though I would play bot games with my friends and we always loved it. I regret not practising on bots earlier.

Play Leona. Great craic.

Playing support is a very good way to learn the game and you can carry hard enough at low elo because supports at that level are typically atrocious. Just remember, wards and lane presence. Plus the likes of Sona and Leona have teamfight-changing ults.

New ranking system for season 3: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/new-league-system-coming-soon-ranked

Sounds very similar to the Starcraft 2 system; which doesn't seem like a good idea in a non-1v1 game

The best of 3/5 "promotion" matches sound horribly flawed. You could play as well as you always do and get trolled every time you start your promotion matches and so artificially slow your climb.

TheDoc · 16-01-2013 10:04am

Ugh, I have no idea why they are imitating the Deadcraft 2 system.

Nice site, but some of the stats seem quite dated, to the same extent as lolstats actually :S

It's very up to date, usually I can view my last game on it.

ED E · 20-01-2013 10:49am

Yeah, was my mistake.

Had a fair few bugs since the preseason patch. Not fun.

Add the channel "Irish Lol" to your chat(hit settings to auto join every time you login). You might get a few games out of that.

Watched SK vs Wolves and it bored me to tears. SK very slow to finish that game despite the massive lead they had, since that didn't watch another game for fear of falling asleep

You probably watched the worst match so far IMO.

SK have an awful habit of dragging games out too long (they know this themselves) and it usually bites them in the Ass (think the recent backdoors by CLG on them). They dragged the game versus EG out a bit too long too, but their teamfighting was seriously on form and they won everytime. Seems like they don't know when they can win teamfights and are always unsure about initiating.

Watch this match: Giants vs Gambit, giants close it out in only 30 minutes or so. All out aggression, probably the best way to take down Gambit.

-Vega- · 15-02-2013 8:46pm

Who counters AP Yi mid?

Was thinking Fizz because of his W that reduces healing effects, but tbh meditate is only 10% of the problem. His wave clear is super strong, his ult means he can run away, I don't want to just sustain the lane, I want to kill him.

Something with cc, tried morg but 2 skill shot dependent. So at the moment Annie or Fizz, anyone else?

Nevermind, Chogath mid, owned Yi.

YouSavedMyLife · 15-02-2013 10:33pm

Oh Chogath, is there anything you can't do?

It's actually the game that causes the anger. I mean the players are the same players that you probably play against in other games. The only difference with MOBA's is that you have to stick with the same four other people for a whole round. You can't just leave because your team is losing or someone is being a dick (well you can but you'll get banned eventually if you do). And so when you're stuck with a team and they seem to being doing things that you think are quite obviously stupid it pisses you off since they are essentially wasting 30~ mins of your life.

Riot's player behaviour and justice team is working on ways to solve some of the issues that cause the most rage; it will be interesting to see if they can come up with anything that works.

Icyseanfitz · 18-02-2013 3:03pm

yeah i just hate when im having a bad game and some asshat decides to be abusive for the whole game while they generally arnt doing much better, pisses me off just as much when it isnt even aimed at me, particularly in normal non ranked games where people should be learning the ropes of the game anyway
