So, anyone playing League of Legends?

[Hellraiser]

Either way we just had two splendid games on EUNE, by we I mean the fine gentleman of codexia and our associates. Sir Roxor proved that he hates nu-karma so much he had to KS her with the lazor when I could kill her with singed. Never underestimate the wrath of a gentleman outraged by the act of defiling a once proud woman of hindu origin into popamole worthy of low class rabble.

Scholars can also now finally confirm that singed indeed doesn't mind being ulted by skarner and can indeed pick up a tripple kill despite that and being outnumbered 4v2. In fact the sciences now know that if skarner ults singed as he flings him they both get thrown back behind singed's original position. A most amazing discovery that will benefit codexian society engaged in the fascinating competition within the League of Legends.

She actually looks pretty cool unlike Elise or Zyra or Diana etc.

I see what you did there

<Hobo> it was a pleasure
<Hobo> to wait for him to soften that karma for all that time
<Hobo> while
<Hobo> aiming a lazor straight into her face

Garen gets dove by Pantheon, Heimerdinger and Zac, and he runs after and ults Zac who just splits into bloblets, then gets a spear in the ass. What elo do you suspect this is? Also enemy Teemo mid, not enough to see that useless rat top I see.

ARAM Gragas, dirty lucky today. Buy catalyst, never run out of health or mana, just drink beer and throw beer cans until somebody complains in chat.

Wtf again gargas, 4 arams, 2 fatmans, and I have all but 10 guys. Well it's time to throw beer cans. OP

 

[Hellraiser]

Could be worse, you could see me jungling mao on your team. Go gank bot, taric without boots somehow keeps just beyond snare range despite not having boots while I did (and I also had MS quints ffs!). You just want to give up near the end of their bush when snare hits, then taric flashes under their turret.



Kill for graves, he snowballs.

Should have picked vi.

Everything is from Freljord now I see.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I heard Draven is from Freljord.

Freljord is from Draven, more like it.

Shouldn't play when tired, it's sad to not get any drakes in the game simply because you didn't notice bot lane is going to lose their tower before the ten minute mark, and seeing for maybe 7 times people get away with below 100 health with Lee Sin's shield makes you want to rape him even so much more, but whatever, it seems like it's gonna be my first ranked Zac loss, their Cait is fed and they're diving us with Rengar Zed Lee and Lulu is the annoying bitch she is, they the first and last baron too and had a huge lead. Then just out of frustration I decide to fling myself in for the last time, Riven follows (summoner name Riven or Singed. Well he sure knows what he likes to play), Ashe, Ali and Nid just kinda hope they don't get murdered by the divers. Well I hit Cait and in like a second she is dead, IDK how I though she had BV too but me and Riven murder her, then I turn back towards the enemy dive team and they have done nothing intelligent, Zed and Rengar are near death somehow and only Lee is in good health. Zed dies, Lulu runs, Lee fight 3 guys and gets raped (slowly, fucking Lee), Rengar also runs but I find his bluepill spot and slingshot him to death, GG.

Maybe I'll start banning Cuntlyn, she's like the Teemo of AD carries, a champion for total faggots.

I heard Draven is from Freljord.

Freljord Draven is from Draven, more like it.

(This is such a dumb meme.)

Like I said earlier she's pretty shitty late game. Her laning is all she has really, there's no other adc that can poke your tower with so much impunity. People pick her because she can win bot lane with little effort and outfarms nearly everyone. She's also has a fairly annoying albeit not that good escape making her a safe pick. It's really the adc pick for total adc noobs who don't know how to play as the skill requirement to do good with her is low. Which is why she's in nearly every fucking game in tinfoil elo. So yeah, basically the same crowd that picks teemo top (if you want to be a ranged faggot top get gayle, at least you'll ult your carry in lategame). When I see they pick cait I pick MF and make life hell for her.

Well that and banning caitlyn is a waste of a ban. Especially when annoying fucks like Elise, TF or Kayle exist, various pubstomping assassins (who get fed and snowball off the clueless idiots on your team) and of course the usual free LP picks like Amumu, Malphite or Blitz. Although personally I find the latter two picks situational as anyone with a brain will counterpick them. Don't get me wrong, malphite is a monster but his counter is singed who is also a real terror with farm (especially when he can kill malphite with relative ease post-6). Blitz counters retards but becomes useless if the enemy team is too tanky or has too much range. Amumu on the other hand always wins games unless an absolute retard is playing him or at least two of their lanes feed.

Is it free and is it fun? I mean the game.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

It's free and fun but if you get any sort of attachment to the game ffsRIOT is gonna rape your favourite hero, also be prepared to grind. would not play. Try dota2.

 

[Ulminati]

It's free and fun. Has quite a lot of grind. You can bypass the grind with money, but then you'll just end up matched against people who finished their grind and are way better than you.

It's community is shit, though nowhere near as shit as DotA2 judging from the average livestream. The userbase is also larger and the game recieves more frequent and bigger content and balance updates. It's the healthier of the two games, which causes DotA2tards like Zed no end of butthurt.

 

[Ulminati]

Riot going on a skin-spree with ice skins on PBE:

Also new lore for Anivia and volibear (hint: It's shit!).

Plus tweaks and stuffies. Minor graphical edits too. New particles for fear and stun effects that should be more visible. And items with charges (sightstone, crystalline flask) now show # of charges in inventory instead of as a buff.

Also, Lissandra!


Spell range is shortish, attack animation (and all animations for that matter) looks good.

And Lissandra totally isn't a rip-off of Vayl the Betrayer, Ice witch of the Legion of Everblight!

It's fun when you stomp or play with bros for the lulz and don't care about winning. It's less fun when you don't because even when it isn't ranked someone will rage in teamchat complaining about how others played, half of the time that person is indeed the worst player on the team and the sole reason why you are losing. As in every title of this genre it takes one person to fuck up the game for the rest of the team and lose. Expect half of the people playing not to understand the metagame or how the game plays at all but just blindly copycatting others even once you get to level 30 (the leveling is more like an extended tutorial which is still not enough to grasp the game without sufficient playtime after that).

It's grindy when it comes to champions so it takes a long while before you have a decent selection, which is irrelevant if you stay away from ranked games. The good news is not all of the good champions are the most expensive ones (which take the most grinding or money to get).

What is there to grasp beside the meta game?

 

[Ulminati]

What is there to grasp beside the meta game?

When to take/not to take objectives. Mechanics for some champions with multiple valid combos that can accomplish different things. Ward placement and movement prediction. Attack-walking and positioning if you're playing ADC. Map awareness - especially if you're jungling as the movement in lanes will tell you where it's safe to counterjungle. Which champions skillsets work well together in teamfights and which champions counter other champions in their respecive positions. Probably a couple of other things I forgot. All of that is seperate from the metagame of which champions/compositions/items are popular at the moment.

 

[Juul]

I know you guys are all RPG-y, but does the lore behind LoL champions really matter to you?

When to trade and when not to trade, when to go all-in and try to kill the other guy(s), when diving is a good idea and when it is a bad one, how to use walls to stay in fog of war so that you won't be seen until the last moment when doing an ambush. When to build what items and on whom, contrary to what some people believe just because an item is damn good it doesn't mean it synergizes well with the playstyle or abilities of a champion, case in point being building sheen on riven which is retarded in at least 3 ways despite how the passive of sheen works.

When to blame others for playing like shit. How to ward so you gain minimum vision of objectives/chokepoints you want to control. You must be able to completely crush your teammates in arguments when they whine about your unstopable Attack Speed Lux build. You must know how to CS as support and berate your laning partner for missing all the CS. When is the time to blame your jungler for various things that went bad (hint: always for everything). You must learn how to convince your teammates to give you specific role you want during champion select so you can get crushed utterly in lane later (blame jungler for that!).

Such abilities are crucial for any respectable League of Legends player.

To put a different spin on the same coin - do you care about how your beer tastes, or only about how drunk it gets you?

That depends: Do I want to get smashed as fast as possible or do I want to enjoy a good drink?

In other words: I can relate to lore or character having an important meaning in an RPG or game which mainly relies on narrative and character development, but in a game that is about pushing towers using heroes with different strengths, I could not care less.

Carlsberg drinker detected.

Seriously though, I'm not mondblutian enough to only care about mechanics in a game, fluff and aesthetics are important too. Can't say that it's a deal breaker, but the way Riot tends to change unique champs and make them more generic looking (Trundle) kind of pisses me off.
