[PC] League of Legends

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Played this for the first time a yesterday... spent the whole day playing it without realising. T'was good fun. Only on the beginner co-op stuff though, I'm to horribad for anything else. Played a bit of Ahri, which was fun - her blink thing is a little hard to master. Tried Morgana to, she's pretty fun, crazy farmage on her with that aoe thing. Tried a couple others to, but those stood out. on Oceanic servers if anyone else plays there, names Vexana.

Only real issue I have is the god damn bloody constant disconnects in the loader. In game is rock solid, but that loader is a piece of shit, it ended up purchasing me two lots of riot points, which was annoying. But most annoying is that It's like a 1:20 chance that I will see the god damn after game score screen.

^ I take it this is your first MOBA game (mass online battle arena), so welcome to the league

If you have any questions about the champions, the roles that they are suited to, game mechanics, etc., feel free to VM/PM me. Co-op intermediate can give you a harder time than PvP games btw :P Unfortunately, I'm on the euNE server, so I can't add you.

Co Op intermediate in league is crazy xD. Those bots can play better than diamond players, this coming from a diamond player. They do stupid stuff tho.

And yeah, welcome to league ^_^

[Zakoo]

I remember annie bot is totally crazy. at equal stuff or even if you have a slight advantage she can ruin you.

Bots excel at teamfights, because their teams always have amazing synergy. Still, their zoning, while heavy in trades that net them kills at mid, lacks defense (although Wukong just might juke you a few times). There's a limit to how many things an A.I. can assimilate, but I'm always looking forward to a hard level in the future.

Speaking of levels, whatever happened to the magma chamber from 2.5 years back?

Was it the "new" summoner's rift? If so, it has been cancelled, although a 1v1 version of the map will be released sometime in S4.

[Kafriel]

^ I don't know what it was supposed to be, but they had the map planned out and everything. Also, 1v1? Sounds intriguing...

EDIT: nvm, found a wiki input on it here, just says "planned for public release in the future".

Surely you exaggerate. I was mostly a bot stomper in S2 to get first wins, and I usually go 30+/1/XX (with the 1 death being the fountain dive usually). Intermediate was so bad that I actually got worse during this time in terms of my plays, that I honestly was playing like bronze during the normals prior to trying to get S2 rewards. XD

They only have 2 advantages... maphack (so don't run around the jungle at low health if they have karth or a lux else you get ulted) and next to perfect reflexes (moment you get into range, Annie will do ALL her spells in a fraction of a second). But apart from that they're really not very good, to the point that I tell all my noob IRL friends who just started to stop playing against them around lvl 15 or so (around the time they get used to flash).

'can'.

Try fighting them in a 2v2. Synergy OP.

Cass bot reaction >>> 95% of Cass players , her skills with q and e are beyond bullshit.

Also they have 2 other edges, perfect chain CCing the bots unless you flash or something late game will time CC perfectly so no duration is wasted on any of their CC, and lastly they have the boosted gold income meaning fighting them even when you're ahead can be dangerous sometimes.

It's considered too small of a population for riot to make a special skin or such for (I agree with it gold is >14% of the population on NA and diamond/plat >5%), and it does get different banner/load screen/icon/forum badge/etc compared to gold.

[Eisdrache]

I'm far from being diamond and I stomp bots, what are you talking about?

Dota2 bots on unfair are much more difficult.

Oh yeah, fought them 2v2 a ton of times. Heck it's how I trained IRL friends who just started, and it's still easy to wreck these intermediate bots WITH fresh players (just need to give them a little direction).

[Pocari_Sweat]

Intermediate bots are fucking hacks lol.

I tried SMITE for a bit, I really liked the 3rd person perspective in that. Really liked support characters in that.

Dunno if I have any questions really yet, mostly the things that get me is some of the lingo people use. Actually, can you change the UI? because health bars off to the side like they are annoys the shit out of me. I want them nice and center.

That firebreath stun is kinda annoying, but I really hate Ashes' fire arrow volley thing - that is incredibly annoying.

Wow Frost vs MVP Ozone, I can't believe I just saw SotD brought in a competitive match and then used to get a triple kill on zed .

Edit: Zed vs Zed mid lane in blind pick was so fun and silly to watch .

I feel like we played against different bots.

The Chinese internet is calling the new champion Obama. Kind of funny.

After 112 champions, they make a black one...and his other skin makes him white, wha!? <-

Although, to be fair, Nocturne's black too^^

[Last Sinner]

Karma's revamped kit/skin was black. Taric's Emerald and Fifth Age skins are black. Alistair available for a short while.
