League of Legends

Post by Fandral »

I haven't seen a topic for this game yet, so I thought I'd make one!

For those of you that don't know (somehow), League of Legends (LOL for short) is a free-to-play MMO that has been around for a couple of years now. You can play as many champions, each with diverse appearances and abilities, against other people or computers. You can play with friends or by yourself, but unless you're doing the tutorial you're going to be either with and often against other people that are at a similar ranking/level as you.

It plays a bit like a RTS game, but instead you control only your champion. Each champion has 4 spells, and different stats. The main goal is to take out turrets alongside (rather weak) minions that will soak up the hits for you (so kind!) and then reach the enemy team's inhibitors, turning many of your little minions into big, bad super-minions! Through killing things, you gain gold that you can use to buy items for the match that greatly increase your champion's power. With you and your minions all nice and buff, you have to reach the enemy team's Nexus and destroy it to win the match! All while combating 5 other champions, of course.

You can sign up here and download the game here.

The game does not support macs, but there are a few places you can download the client for your system if you have been bestowed with such a curse.

Prepare to wait a good while for the download on either system, it's rather large, and the patching takes a few hours the first time you start up the client.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For anyone that currently plays or wants to begin playing, this thread serves as a communication center for those that wish to talk about recent experiences, ask for tips, or look for people's summoner names so you can play together.

As for me, my Summoner Name is JQueenston.
The primary champion I play as is Fiddlesticks.

I just went 13 kills/0 deaths/4 assists in one match, then 15/2/7 in another, both quick wins.
I've enjoyed most of the time I've spent here, I hope my actions have not ruined such an experience for anyone else.

I've been playing LoL since April 2011, on the NA server. I don't like solo queue, so I'm often seen in premades with my friends.

Summoner name: Midnite
My main champion will always be Skarner. <3 Nowadays, Vi stands for... Midnite's main.

Jungle is my favorite role, by a longshot. However, I'm content with almost any role. The only time I'll really support, though, is if I'm comfortable with supporting the ADC on my team (which is likely another reason why I avoid solo queue).

EDIT: Just got out of two great games with Fandral. His Fiddles is good!

^ thank :3

I realized that I had never won an intermediate bot match before, so i decided to try one out after a long night of losing. I got a bunch of hilarious (and good!) teammates and managed to win in about 40 minutes.

I played this twice because my friend couldn't stop complaining about me playing it. I know a lot of people who play it too.
I was playing as Ashe, but got blamed for feeding because I had no idea how to play. I WAS apparently good at running away and using Ashe's arrow. We also were playing against a bunch of level 30s, so that was pretty unfair to me.

I do have a complaint of why I even have a username. No one uses it, I always get called Ashe.

^ it's to keep your account name safe. It's almost like a second password. Also, people contact you through your summoner name (friend requests, messages, etc.)

I'd assume it's because it's easier for most to identify someone he or she doesn't know in a team game like this by the character they're playing, rather than their username.

I don't see why it matters as long as you get the message from your teammates lol.

People would rather call someone they can identify easily with rather than have to remember a name they'll only see once.

My friend told me today that it is similar to Savage II's gameplay in champion controls, so now I see no reason for me to try it out.

My summoner name is Luyoka.
I use Blitzcrank and Nautilus as Support champions.

Add me if you're up for playing, just pm me letting me know it's you.

I also play Dota 2, but I don't mind League of Legends, so I only play it if a friend asks me to play with them.

My summoner name is: The red void
(No fancy coloring from me.)
My most used (and only used) character is the terror of the void. I can't remember his exact name, but you can see why I chose him for my first and only match so far.

I know about it from RoosterTeeth playing it. It didn't look particularly interesting, but I'm not gonna judge as I haven't tried it myself.

I started playing like two months ago.

Summoner name: Bathul
Most played champs: Nami, Veigar, and Soraka.

I really like being a support as long as my ADC knows what their doing. If they dont or they refuse to listen to me, its a big headache.
Seriously people, listen to your supports.

I've been liking ARAM lately because its forcing me outside my comfort zone.
