League of Legends (LoL) General Chat Thread

Anybody playing this? Think a general thread for team making, strategy discussion and general chatter may be useful if there are a few players on here.

4K or 6K Target earned, god this is slow.

I notice from your game history you play a lot of co-op vs AI. Not only is the AI very bad but you earn less IP and after something like 4 games every 24 hours you get no IP for any further games. So if you want to get more IP start playing normals.

Who's the best hero to start out with, preferably free to play.

Of the current free to play heroes, Ashe. Very simple hero to learn that is a top pick at the highest levels of play. Ranged AD are more forgiving when you start out as it means you're not in the middle of every fight (or at least you shouldn't be :P)

Yeah, last dozen games have been PVP. Was playing with lvl30s last nigth(2 games) and though obviously I wasnt up to their level, held my own from midgame on.

Pantheon vs Ashe is p.great. One guy spent a whole game just jumping her:D

As much as I can see 1 champion is about 5 quid? Does not look too bad.

I was told by my friend, who is lvl 30, and newer told us lol. That she is on game only 2 weeks? That's why she is so common?

So annoying when someone else picks her .

I do realise what does it mean that you need to learn few champions.

Off for tonight. 5 of us were playing bs a.I. All on vent. And we had so much fun. Then rest had to go and that was just me and anather fella.

I played 3 matches in a row and i loved it! Haven't played anything like this for few hours since settlers 7! I imagine playing vs people is even more fun. I will get some more runes and spec and some proper game experience. Atleast bots cAnt ./facepalm at me .

I have to say that skins and graphical design is just unbelievable! It's free to play too! Will be buying some characters and skins. Developers deserve some money.

Totally demoralized with LoL at the moment, kinda glad now that I won't be playing anything until Tuesday.

Bought Rumble, had some fun practicing in AI CPU matches then went to ranked and won three (Not much thanks to me but mostly positive scores and comfortable wins) then I play today and it's loss, loss, loss, loss... 4-5, can't remember.

Last match we were completely dominating everywhere until late game when the team just fell apart. Previous to that the game was a whitewash where I got signed up with a premade team I had got sucked into on a different day (I remember the main guy plays Blind Monk), both times they just completely lost, embarassingly, with me stuck in the middle as a spare.

Normally I can understand it if it's a case of me being absolutely horrendously clueless and thus causing a line to fall but it's not the case - Team just ignore blatant gank opportunities, or overpush into being ganked themselves, opposition outgear and level us, smash, long loss.

Come Tuesday I'll get back into LoL, also ordering a shiny new PC the same day so that should be fun. Until then, meh, don't check my match record, it's f'ing horrendous.

Law of large numbers. You won't notice the win streaks as much as the loss streaks either. As long as you play to your best ability every game you'll end up with a positive W:L ratio.

Also nice video above with the malphite and shaco; you sure do churn them out quick.

Downloaded this yesterday after seeing this thread, played the tutorial etc. then a co-op game against the AI which I had to leave during... played another two games and lost.

But - enjoyed them all the same. So this morning I decided i'd buy a few riot points, picked up a new champion called Alistar and finished a victory on 14/5/5 with a killing spree of 7. And 2 of those deaths were because I ran onto the opposing sides altar. Enjoying it so far, can see a lot of time being sunk in. Level 4, almost at 5 now.

Username is Rhinocen if anyone wants a game.

You should rarely engage an enemy champion directly, if the bots are owning you, try harassing and whittling down their health before lunging in for the kill.

Also try paying special attention to what the champion you are playing does well, some champions are really awesome at tanking damage, others really great at killing minions, some are just pure champion assassins.

Anyone gotten any funny tribunals today?
Had some guy "0-38-2 Intentionally feeding after 1 guy killed 1 junglemob." Summoner level 8. Love the hardcore kiddies.

Also had a guy reported for ruining multiple ARAM games so custom game reports do count.

Had my most enjoyable game so far just now. 55mins, back and forth between bases literally half a dozen times, every time each team would just hold on by a fingernail, eventually when most were involved in a central melee I ran up bot alone, took on a fiddlestix who twice tried to sap my life, then realising I was lifestealing at like 40/140% eventually leaving him to run off to the summoning pool, solo nexus takedown just as he came back. Supposedly he totally sperged to his team:D

Bad KPD, but I dont play Sion for the kills, do it for the wins :P

His speed increase on 50% Health is both godlike and an absolute curse. If you're trying to be sneaky and work around for a gank on a low HP character, for example, then they will hear you miles away and see the icon over their head, making hiding somewhat obsolete depending on where you are - They'll just know you're around so unless you catch them in the open, they have plenty of time to hide behind turrets or get to safety. On the flipside, in the open, it's delicious watching him claw people in the back as they try to flee. It's also an amazing help when you are the one trying to get away and some enemy nearby just HAPPENS to be on low health.

You can toggle blood scent on and off if you're trying to get closer to someone you know is on low health before activating the speed boost.

Screencapped my last game there(5on3 but we held em for 40+ mins, 5/7/0, Blitz) but the bloody thing only recorded the cursor. Gonna try and fix it later. Wanna avoid fraps as a 40min game @1920 is just going to be ridic on my drives.

If you have the performance you can compress a little from raw without going sub 30fps. I may map fraps to my mouse again and do it that way, but in battle I'd forget about turning it on and off I think.

Well the game (for me) was always default at 1024x768 at 30 FPS without recording. FRAPS always takes it down to 20, which is barely noticeable.

This old comp will be replaced soon as I have a gaming rig ordered and it'll hopefully arrive during the weekend or early next week - Once that's up and running, FPS issues will be a thing of the past.

Until then, LoL runs perfectly fine and smooth with or without recording, with exception to the fact I can't really play on any higher resolution if I intend to record. Will max it on the next computer.

Hmm, I'm running it at 1920 60FPS(Vsync) normally, and I get 40-60 while recording. 5770HAWK powering the whole thing(including a second 19" display).

What spec is the new rig?

SirAuronDX is my username on it.

Just bought Orianna. shes ok but i find her fun because of her mechanic. her early game is kinda weak but shes pretty much an amazing support character if played right. her shield is janna like and the AoE effect will speed up the person its attached to and anyone near it insanely fast. Was amazing watching olaf/morde/tyrn just ZOOM around

Heh I just played him myself today! He seems pretty beastly in the right hands (aka not mine).

I have loads of champions I still have to try from the collectors pack though, so it's gonna take me a while to find my perfect one.

I was struggling to find champ I like. I bought him just from impulse. As soon as I bought it - oh wtf did I do. After 2 games I felt in love.

Main thing I love about him: he is no fecking hybrid!!! Pure magic fecker!

Bought another 3k RP last night and picked up Nocturne, played one 5v5 with him and enjoyed it, only died twice and that was as the other team were pounding our base so I don't feel so bad (9/2/10). He has some nice moves, I just know Duskbringer is going to bring me some nice kills back on Twisted Treeline chasing after fleeing Champs.

Looking for champion recommendations - I have 2k RP left to spend. Here is what I have already:

Alistar, Annie, Ashe, Brand, Jax, Kayle (mistake!!), Master Yi, Nocturne, Ryze & Warwick.

Bought some of those based on others performances with them and recommendations but havn't played as them all yet.

One Master Yi I was up against had some crazy +Crit gear towards end game and was hitting me for 1200+, literally from full health to ghost in 2 seconds with basic attacks! Mental.

You could set up an Irish channel in the game (theres an option on the top right under the gear thing so that it will load each time you log in).

If you want to watch top level play, there's a load of people streaming I'd suggest trying:
http://www.solomid.net/streams.php?game=1

Last weekend was the dreamhack qualification, and there were 60k people watching. Some of the games and commentary were quite good.

Doing all my purchases the hard way, though I'm very tempted to fork out a handful of dough to the game, I can see myself comitting to it... Oh who am I kidding, I'm already comitted to it, I spent a whole week playing it each day and already about about 5-6 characters through IP, nevermind raid points.

Trying out Tryndamere - It's funny when you see so many others do well with him and yet when you pick him people inform you he's absolutely horrid in lanes and getting your foot in the door with him early game is a bit awkward without planned ganks.

Best game so far with him, ironically, was a loss - The enemy team where afraid of me, fully geared and taking a 1/4 HP out of them each speedy swing and if **** hit the fan, hell, Ulti!

Not been able to have much fun since then - Had a game just now with the worst Teemo ever who didn't help me on fights and we ended up feeding early. Pulled it back midgame but by then the 2xFrench player premade on our team where giving out about everything since the start and kept deciding to afk rather than partake, so we eventually lost... And, of course, it was all my and Teemo's fault, not the defeatists.

I know an early feed isn't a good thing to have to combat but when you reach midgame and it's all dead even, you just need to pull your weight.

i am no rasist lol, but i HATE playimg with french since wc3.

there is constantly some **** with them. they are more interested in everything that is not the actuoll situation in game lol.

still having fun with veigar. love that little bastord. trying to make an ultimate biuld now. got a good way of starting so far. need to tweak few ather items in late game

Loving Nocturne at the minute, here is some of my games from today:

Probably not playing him to his full potential, and some of the teammates+opponents have been laughable but this is my favourite champion so far.

It's an amazing day outside...

Veigar's got huge burst damage, and I think his voice comments are among the best.

I havent bought any points for myself, I did it the slow way heh. Valve are working on Dota2, and the way they seem to be planning the community bit gives me real hope that it could be good (they're looking at having more experienced players mentor other ones, give points out for helping others etc). I love LoL, but some players go literally crazy in the games. It's not as bad as HoN, and hopefully the Tribunal stuff will have an effect in the short term, but I wouldnt go spending crazy money on it atm.

When you've played a few games you realise just how things can turn around, even when both your nexus towers are down. ****ing hate people who surrender once their KPD drops below one.

Played a PVP game earlier with Velgar, really worked on my AP and by endgame I was just nuking people left right and center. It was pretty fun!
