    I LOVE this game lol, found it a couple of months ago as well, can be addicting as hell! Plus the fact that they are always adding new skins/champions keeps the game fresh and appealing.

    If anyone ever wants to team up my user name is "cdbXart" , I usually play a few games a week :D

    content (champions) cycle every month, after atleast 4 matches you earn enough in game points to buy a character...you usually play 1-2 times every few days and you can earn the champions in no real time..only the uber ones are a bit rough and those roughly take a week or so to earn..Still a fun game :D

    20 bucks at best buy unlocks like 1/2 the champions

    Funny you should ask, just made level 15 so i could apply to this place as a game designer!

    But i'm addicted as hell and was just patching up to play when i saw this thread.

    Name's crazyfingers of course ;)

    Depending on the hero i'm playing and how many beers i've had, i range from pretty damned decent to being accused of smurfing, letting my 5 year old sister play.

    O....My...God only 6 months? o.o

    I've been playing it for about a right after when it started in their closed beta state when there was no lore to explain the heros back ground.

    Ya well, playing video game / sticking to one video game is not the only thing I do around my world :3.

    Regardless of the awesomeness of the game there is one problem and only one that ticks me off the most and this problem wont be fixed forever probably. Its people leaving the game doesnt matter if its ranked or unranked.

    I kinda stopped playing it after first six months because the dev team couldnt fix the collision of the nexus back then. Which gave ppl the advantage to stand in front of the nexus blocking all the mob summoning points and leaving their base with a huge mob after 5 mins. Later on when that was fixed, there were occasional bots found that were used to farm IP.

    Now everything is fixed and I do love playing LOL but this one problem still pisses me off!! >.<

    I'm a HoN man, and will stay so. My forays into LoL haven't impressed me too much. It's more or less the same asshole community, except on a game with worse balance and players.

    If you can spring for the $30 and deal with flaming, you should check out HoN .

    I'm totally with dfacto, I played HoN for 6-12 months or something now and its a great game. I tried LoL and its just unbalanced, there's little readability in the ability effects, the shop menu is disastrously designed and the community is full of the same douchebags just with lower mental capacity.
    I appreciate that its supposed to be more casual, and that it isn't supposed to be an updated DotA but .... Guinsoo and Pendragon dropped the ball. Big time.

    So what youre saying is, you have to PAY for what is still... at best, mediocre? :E

    Way I see it is that what small differences that there are only really effect those that invest a lot of time or want to play it to a higher level, but for those that play it whimsically its not of great concern, and when it means parting with cash... no thanks haha.

    Hell, doesn't LoL have a growing esport scene too? Hopefully they will start taking onboard some of the better aspects of other dota games and rts games in general (replays, shift pathing) to make it get even better.

    Oh and nitewalkr, dont say that in your defence with that kind of postcount :P

    Been playing this for the past few months as well. I'm full blown addicted since a few of my co-workers turned me onto it, one of our sound guys wrote all the music for it too.

    My login is vcortis. Feel free to add me, I usually play a game or two a night after work... like I said addicted.

    For a free game it's awesome, and I actually like it better than DoTA because of the customization options, it opens up a lot more strategies and ways to play specific heroes.

    No, you pay for something which is at best ... AWESOME.

    But you'll have to play with flaming russian kids and asshole noobs. Admittedly some people can't get over this type of caustic community (because they're dainty little girls).

    For a free game LoL is very very good, but coming from Dota it seemed far too casually oriented for me, which flies in the face of the whole genre. To play a game like LoL/dota/hon/etc anywhere near decently you need to memorize all items, their effects, all heroes and their powers, the map and all of it's aspects, and develop a pretty exact sense of timing. This isn't casual at all, and so you might as well go the HoN route over the LoL route.

    I wish there was a way to set up servers kinda like how polycount did for team fortress. I would say a "industry" server would be great, have LOL studio vs studio :p

    Liquid Vs 38 studios :p

    Trust me, the douchiness in HoN is off the charts compared to your run of the mill shooters and rpgs. Combine it with the sometimes unforgiving difficulty and it's a recipe for extreme rage.

    But how many people care enough to play it decently is more what i was getting at, youre preaching to the choire really by telling me whats needed to get good at a game because i will all too often put in the hours and end up reading guides/strats etc. My point is that on the surface theyre the same, some people may be swayed by the better graphics, but the people who know and care about the features youre on about are most likely already aware of it as theyre that way inclined.

    Not that i care enough about either game at the end of the day, i dont really like any game like dota/lol/wow at highlevel (although i only played wow to battlegroup top10, dota stuff seems interesting from a team aspect).

    Just outta curiosity, when'd you last play LoL? Have you tried it since they started season 1

    I think one of the main limiting factors, and one these studios have had to combat is the sever competitive angle the gameplay often forces on their player base. League of legends is built from the ground up to be a bit more casual friendly than the others. Yeah it sorta sucks you're limited to several characters a month, but at the same time it's a nice incentive to really learn that core set while learning to defend against them, it actually helps acclimate you to the hardcore gameplay by limiting the choices of most players, you'll actually know wtf is going on the first month you play after a week or so, rather than having 60 characters dumped on you at once with many abilities.

    I've intentionally skipped guides and strategies so i can BETTER enjoy the game. I find an RPG more enjoyable when i don't know the min/max strategy of every character. I am most definitely a min/ maxxer, but for me the joy comes from figuring this stuff out myself and catering it to my (most likely unoptimized) play-style.

    It's often overlooked, but you're matched with players of your own skill level, so playing well doesn't really have any bearing on your win/loss ratio.

    I'm pretty happy with the matches i get set into. Sometimes i'm playing with a more hardcore crowd, sometimes more casual, i'm right in an area where i can learn more advanced tactics if i choose, or just goof off and pwn nubs.

    i just cant escape! lol. first with minecraft now with LoL. nothing against the games.. its just that at my school, game-artists have a private lab, which has basically now been turned into the gaming lab.. for league of legends and minecraft. there is about 5 people total who work, and the other 15 or so are always yelling n screaming that they are getting ganked and they need to use their ult. lol.

    truth be told ive learned a lot about the game just by listening to these people, but i havent gotten into it just because of my fear of losing my life to a game just like the rest of those folks have (though there wasnt much of a difference before that im sure).

    who know's maybe one day....after i finished my production game....after i finish my demo reel...after i get a "steady" job.......then ill try it. :D

    the games fun but only cause it's extra awesome to win but extra crappy to lose. but sometimes the mechanics just all fall into a perfect line and it's just sublime.

    Jouste with all the random competition threads and all this awesome concept art, i think you should hold a competition for some 3d hero art for LOL.

    Hehe I was thinking the same thing. Jouste concepts are awesome, and a current gen rendition based off of Jouste's Rammus concept would be great. Then I remembered I already working on a one of Jouste's concepts.. and I'm slacking off...

    Other than that me and Purplepaint just kicked some butt! Kayle for the win!
