For all things League of Legends related. I'd like to see more games discussed here, so I figure I'll make a thread of a pretty fun game I've been getting into.

Linky

Q:What is League?

ALeague of Legends is one of the first MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena)

Q:What do you do?

A:You, as a summoner, pick from a pool of champions, each with their own skins, skills, and lore, and fight on a field of justice, with minions and towers.

Q:How much does it cost?

A:It is absolutely free!

Q:C'mon now...

A:WELL. There is a paid currency, used to unlock champions faster than usual; However, there is no "best" champion, and the game cycles Free To Play champions every week

Q:Well, the whole Paid currency thing kinda turns me off...

A:No worries! There is an alternate system, called IP earned from playing games of league, which can be used to buy champions and runes

Q:Is it time consuming?

A:It honestly depends on which map you play on; some games can go for up to an hour, but my last game took about 12 minutes.

Q:Can't it get repetitive?

A:There are MANY play styles, suited for everyone, with different possible builds, ability levels, and players in each game.




Feel free to ask me questions, in the thread, or via PM.
I'd really like to get a community started here.

So that's it? You just pick a champion and then the game is over?

What do you do? You didn't even answer the question.

What a deep description of the game.

In Cod you shoot others.
In Halo you shoot others.

You would never know the difference of those games if I gave a description as detailed as yours. You make the game sound pretty boring I won't look into it.

Make a thread saying you will counter any argument against armor lock...

Then respond with Adapt.

I play it every now and then with friends and am terribad.

Playing as Riven helps though.

If you're competitive, yes.
It's really easy to get pissed at your team/at the enemies, and it more of a time-sink than a shooter or basic RPG.

Coming from a person who played the game for a year, Dota 2 feels generally better all round.

Youtube.

They're more cartoony, vivid, and happy than say Heroes of Newerth or DotA.

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

I loved LoL for a time. Sometimes I still look to the stars and think of Teemo. Yet, I haven't touched it since Dota 2 popped up in my games library on Steam.

I swear to DRUNK, I'm not GOD!

I enjoyed my time with LoL, but I'm really getting in to PlanetSide 2 much more these days... now THAT'S a Free to Play online experience! <3

Ad Infinitum

Terrible experience with LoL.

My first game I tried, I got torn apart by my team.
"OMFG learn how to play your champ!!!!"
"OMFG dude this is serious, y cant u hold lane? U -blam!- suck!"

etc, etc.

LoL community is WAY too hardcore. New players beware.
Edit: I was also making sure I played in a bot game. My teammates were still -blam!-ing at me.

Yeah, I hate that too. I suggest when someone is starting to either get a group of friends who already play show you the ropes, or only play bots for a while.

Dominion is also fairly good for beginners. Gets you the ropes on how champion abilities work and no need to farm really. no lane holding either.

Dota 2 > LoL. in fact, Dota is freer than lol, because there are no restrictions.
