And it's never ever your fault. That's the most important one.


Completely unrelated: Just had a shite game, played as Veigar and our jungler went 0/11/2 and blamed me for not warding his jungle.

My personal favourite bit of the community is that people get reported and harassed when they do badly, and the people harassing are dumb enough to think that being bad is a reportable offence and that harassing someone isn't going to end up with them banned (what an amazing member of the community, making people want to quit playing)

I've played just a couple, enough to be acquainted with roughly how the genre works.

I think one of the things that helped me the most when I started was watching videos of people playing, especially champions I liked. See how they combo their skills, how they use them 1v1 and in team fights, and then try it out for yourself.

Also don't confine yourself to one or two champions. Try as many champs as you can during free week and see which ones seem to click.

Also never ever even think about enabling all-chat

It cuts out so much stupidity from not only the enemy team but from your team too (every retard wants to argue in all chat, even if they're arguing with an ally)

I had some guy trying to troll my teammate, going all like U MAD!!!1! Told him he should kill himself. He then went on for 15 minutes calling me a nooblord even though he fed and I didn't. Then, he said he was going to report me for harassing. I facepalmed so hard and reported him for being fucking retarded.

My personal favorite solo queue trait is when people decide to take their complaints into all chat for no particular reason.

Just mid-argument "THIS X THINKS HE'S GOOD LOL".

I've been on both ends of it, and its really fucking dumb either way. No one wants to hear you complain, especially the other team.

Nah I'm fine here thanks.

Hecarim on dominion is some seriously fun shit.

[Dominicus]

I don't play Dominion so I can't confirm nor deny. But on Summoners Rift he's not all that good from what I've seen. The 3 games I played which had a Hecarim all ended up with him having some crappy score; Jungling or Top.

Then again, I could have just been put against Europe's worst Hecarims. Who knows?

Yeah, his ganking potential is amazing but his jungle survivability and clear time are pretty lacking.

Which is why Dominion is perfect for him. Speed shrines and lack of normal lane structure.

It's cause you didn't build Triforce

Shen is borderline OP. Banned everywhere, kicks everyone's asses.

Shen baby.

He's definitely not OP. Like most tanks, he needs a good team in order to do well. He can't do 2v1's (so as long as the people he's playing against aren't utterly retarded.)

It baffles me how people really think the "unskilled player" is anything more than a filter to keep the stupid reports out.

SO, I finally have acquired 6300 IP. I had originally planned to buy Ziggs, but I find myself stricken by many possibly choices. Now that I think about it, I'm not considering all of them but there are a few.

Nocturne, Lee Sin, Cassiopeia, Vladimir, and Viktor seem interesting. If I wanted to, I could even delve into the 4800 range, since Malzahar and Swain seem cool as well.

There is also Fizz and Wukong to consider.

The thing is, the only experience I have with these champions is with Ziggs, Viktor, and Wukong (and not very good with Wukong, at that.)

Hnnnng, so many choices.

All of my friends are saying I should get into this game. Any tips for a noob?

Try to play Annie first. She teaches you how to last hit, manage your cc, learn your combo, etc.

I suggest waiting until tomorrow and see who the new f2p champions are. Maybe Ziggs will get f2p this week so you could test him before buying him.

[zeebiedeebie]

Varus tomorrow?

[Feralicous]

Ziggs was on freeweek 2-3 weeks ago though

only really play ziggs if you're planning on buying RoA or if you know you'll be getting the blue buff from your jungler

otherwise you'll literally be out of mana all the time

How does Funion get the time to rate everyone? It's genuinely impressive.

[AzureAngelic]

you know what would be great

if you could change the recommended items for every champion so you could easily find the items you want (eg change recommended build to your normal build)

also i think im going to buy veigar since i played him ages ago and he was fun as hell to nuke people with, plus i need an ashe alternate for people who get to her first

[IJerry2595I]

what am i doing wrong ?

Everytime i play Irelia or Lee sin i have to build alot Ad to deal some damage but every other (enemy) Irelia/Lee sin can just rush Warmogs and build armor and kill everyone they see.

Can anyone help me out?

In my opinion from playing a few of these champs

Lee Sin is fun as hell while also being perfectly viable in jungle and lane (also dashing everywhere is fun)
Vlad has a huge amount of sustain because of his no cost life draining spell
Fizz is just fun with his playful/trickster spell. Can be used for just about anything.

I have studied the reasons behind this for many years and have come to the conclusion that it's the junglers fault
