[PC Game] League of Legends

Razer is giving away free runes over this weekend, to celebrate PAX!

http://www.razerzone.com/pax/league-of-legends/ will get you the signup sheet - it's one +crit damage Mark and one +movement speed Quint, and if you're greedy (hint: be greedy) you can do it multiple times with different emails.

Just be aware that their servers are overloaded as shit, and I could only get any of it to work in IE.
Dangit, I already have a 3-set of MS quints >_<
 
Heh, I lucked out on that front. Just picked up Singed, and started eyeing a set of them. Saved over 6k IP because of this promotion.
 
Does it help to know that when I say I just picked up Singed, I mean it was literally yesterday?
Not really, you lucky fracker :< Still, I guess I have gotten some enjoyment from my 3-set this last month... But still, those 6k IP could've gotten me the full dodge yellows set, or the blue AP/lvl set. DANGIT

I'd never heard of this game, but I totally impressed that a bunch of users made the mac client! That is just completely awesome.
 
Need to get a little LoL rant off.There are these Twins is sometimes play with.They always go together and take bot lane (Usually play Nidalee and Yi) and feed the enemy Team like it is All-You-Can-Eat at Hooters.We usually win cuz I get to carry the Team (I'm lvl 30 and they are lvl 15,so i guess my enemies are around their lvl) but it is annoying,escpecially when we are talking on skype and in the middle of a Teamfight one of em answers a Handy Call and fights with one hand!!!And since I cant scream at women I have to bottle up the rage when I see its just 12 mins into the Game and the enemy team got already 5 kills off of them.How can one play a hundred games and not learn the concept of Zone Controll and overextending?
 
Did my first few ranked matches tonight. 3 wins and 3 losses. The 3 losses were a team that counter-picked us quite well, and the 2 times I had to jungle (idk if I was the deciding factor in crippling our team, but I'm not the best jungler out there, definitely).

Overall, draft is a lot of fun, specially with a friend.
 
I am back at Random Games instead of drafted for just that reason.To learn how to Jungle and Gank properly.I switch between Warwick (for whom you dont really need any runes) and Jarvan (who is very Rune Heavy,but a great ganker if played right.)
 
Combined my noob ass LoL playing with cross stitch for fun the other day. ;) (Maybe it belongs in the art forum, but I think it will be more appreciated in this thread!)

I need to make myself a Singed shirt, or poster, for having around. I had so much fun yesterday in ranked, with people chasin' me left and right. It's just like this image I got from a /v/ thread weeks ago told me:

 
I was playing a melee against Singed yesterday, I was raging because I couldn't do shit to him, since I wasn't going to chase him around. So my friend who was playing Sona and I sat up top waiting for back-up, but it never came because said back-up had to keep helping out our terrible mid. :'(

Singed is fairly manageable levels 1-8, and very weak levels 1-3 (specially before he gets a catalyst), so poke him hard early. Worst he can do is either poison you (very weak early) or fling you once (long cooldown, but stay away from his turret). He has no ranged attacks, so use any ranged skills you have (and, in this case, Sona's autoattacks and offensive chords) to annoy him. Stay near your low-health creeps so you can punch him whenever he goes in for a last-hit.

Once his poison is up to level 3 or so, he might start killing your whole wave in seconds, and that'll bring him close to your turret, where you can farm safer and possibly gank him from behind. Don't hesitate to ask for a lane change if you know that your champion can't do crap to him, it's better to send someone else than to give him all the free farm. Once he's level 8 or 9, stop feeling safe under the tower, he can dive in, kill someone, and dive out.

Never chase Singed, that just makes him happy. Oh so very happy :3
 
Yeah, we had no one else to send because our only strong ranged character was our one Pick Up person, who, like I said was being bailed out by our bottom lane the whole time, so there was literally nothing we could do about top. :( Hence the mad raging about Singed and his poison clouds. ;)
 
I've done a handful of ranked 3s so far, Singed is so much fun. Either he gets banned, the other team takes him with their first pick, or I get a full game of hysterical laughter and an all chat full of rage about how OP he is. It's amazing.
 
I'm really, really tired of having to queue dodge in normals in order to get a team that isn't absolutely fucked from start to finish. First time today, we have a jungler and no tank, so I pick Singed and say I'm taking the top lane. Miss Fortune responds with "I'm going with you!" I tell her no, it's a solo top lane, and her response is the following:

YES
YES
YESYESYES
I'm not playing that out.

Then later on I go to play another game - we get 4 AD melee characters, 3 of whom are autolocked. I ask about maybe getting the last person who isn't locked to play either an AP of some sort or a tank so we can at least have a small chance, and their response is "just play Amumu", then they lock in.

God DAMN this community sucks.

Yeah, the community of LoL reaches levels of toxicity I haven't experienced in a long, long time. The other night, somebody on the other team yelled at /all "WE LOST CUZ MY TEAM IS FULL OF NOOBS"

Someone else pointed out "dude you're 0 and 6"

"STFU I'll 1v1 AND FKN CRUSH YOU"

Yeah, cause that's what we all want to do... find the most obnoxious opponent and set up special custom games JUST to play more with them.
 
I had a similar experience just now.Some punk that wanted to take charge of the team,insulted everyone that wouldnt follow him blindly (we were 4v5 due to a leaver,thanks to Cpt. McDouche who insulted the guy till he couldnt take it anymore.) pinged the shit out of the minimap which annoys me to hell and then stopped joining the teamfights just to spite us.Then,just as we were winning, ( thanks to a spectacular counter after killing the enemy 3v5) he would loudly proclaim that it was ALL his doing,while none of us could play. He had 4/12 with Ezrael,while I had 11/8/20 with Malaphite build as pure tank.

I've noticed there are some characters that just seem to attract the assholes... Ezreal is one of them. Karthus is another.

Still gangplank here, with occasional forays to rumble or teemo. And I didn't say all people who play Ezreal are asses, just that he attracts them :p
 
Arg.I hate blamers.Had an berzerker Sona on team.played her as if she was using LeBlanc.Your a freaking support!SUPPORT! Was together with her bot as Teemo.Couldnt really do anything against a Caith and Soraka who played very well with each other.My Sona would go off into the woods and try to flank em but that ruse got seen through quite quick,but hell,shes gonna try it anyway.Then our Jungler Amummu.Whined that he wanted to be Jungler.Ok,we say.Once game starts he tells us he needs a strong pull for he donst have any Jungling Runes.Good start.It becomes quite clear that he dosnt have any experience jungling or using Amumu for that matter.His initiates are always way to far for the rest of the team to reach in time. And then ofcourse its blame time. "FUCK YOU TEEMO FOR NOT KILLING THEM!" Yeah..as if i can kill them from 3 screens away if I try hard enough. LoL is a team game,where everyone needs to fill his role if he choose it.But many people just dont seem to get it and once game starts,play like it was their first day.
 
I was playing terribly last night.

How much does ELO matter? I typically random up but I was level 18-19 last night, queuing up with a couple friends who are 30, and found that in general I was MUCH less effective, especially at mid levels.
 
From what I know,LoL uses ELO to team up strong players with weaker players to even teams up.
Added at: 14:29
If you got a lot of stronger players on your team,the enemy team should be compromised out of a lot of strong players too.
 
Yeah okay that's probably it then. The average player in that game was probably in their early-mid 20s, and thusly had access to the only tier of runes worth buying, which is a huge advantage over someone even at level 19 without that access.

I can't wait to hit 20.
