    I figure a thread like this is pretty inevitable given the profusion of MOBA's out there so I'll kick it off and let the mods decide if they want to allow it or not.

    Feel free to add me in games, I'm pretty easy going and if I'm online I'm probably up for a game. I like to follow the e-sports stuff and read a lot, but I don't get to play much and am prone to occasionally dropping off radars for months at a time due to RL stuff.

    Games played:
    League of Legends
    Dota 2 (just getting into this)

    In game names:
    LoL:Sycopat
    Dota2:Syc0pat

    Would a google doc not be easier to navigate than a thread?

    Could still leave the thread open for people to introduce themselves if they like.

    See where you're coming from Doom but might be good to keep it in this format as you said.


    Games played

    HoN
    LOL (briefly)
    DOTA 2

    Only play DOTA 2 now when I have the time which is less and less lately :( . Was really hoping to get in to the competitive side of things with a few guys I've played MOBAs for years with but we all lost interest

    In game names:

    KaG/Sandor Clegane/Craig (steam kag1888)

    Spreadsheet now up. I've added some other games that'll probably prove popular in the coming seasons.

    EDIT: Actually yeah, a new thread would be better.

    Functionally, sure, I was thinking mostly it'd be nice as a way for people to introduce themselves to the community.


    Cherryghost: The spreadsheet doesn't seem to be editable atm.

    That's why I think we should have both :)

    Yup Cherry ghost you should make that editable, trust me you'll drive yourself demented trying to keep it updated yourself. Been that soldier.

    Hey guys, another Dota 2 player here. Great to see the new forum up and running (though why is it in the MMO section? :pac:).

    Looking forward to seeing the Irish MOBA community get bigger.

    Hola,

    I started out on LoL beta then played through a bit on main release, got to about lvl 18 I think. I still play the odd game but I'm pretty much a Dota head now. Bit of a MOBA addict though as I play on my tablet when I'm travelling too :(

    Hi All

    Playing LoL as Calvez. Been a long time MMORPG player and just recently made the switch to MOBA. Cant believe I had not become aware of the genre until so late as i have been looking for a game like this for a long time. I always preferred the PvP elements of MMO's but hated the grind but in LoL the grind is PvP so it's all good!

    Play when I can so that means mostly weekends and sometimes in the evenings if I'm not working too late. Just finished my provisional games for ranked at the weekend so intending to try and slowly climb the ladder in solo queue. Started in Silver II so hopefully i can at least maintain initially.

    If anyone is looking for someone to duo with then feel free to add me. Mainly play Support atm but comfortable as adc or mid. Need to improve top and jungle.

    cheers

    I play LoL.

    Garena VN (current active) Instagibbon

    Don't really have an interest in picking up any other MOBA's. LoL eats enough of my time.

    Well, that was our plan. We wanted to get a fifth player first though. Having some trouble finding one!

    I finally got registered here after some e-mail trouble.

    I've been a Dota 2 player/obsessive since around March. Still quite new in the grand scheme of things and I haven't played a whole lot of pubs (tons of human v bot match-ups, for what they're worth). I've probably pumped 100+ hours into watching VoDs, streams, tournaments etc so I like to think I have a good idea how things work by now... although I did find out a couple of days ago that pure damage doesn't go through BKB, so I guess there's more to learn :D

    It would be cool to play some games against other Boards members but yeah, I'm still pretty low skilled.
