*** League of Legends ***
- Thread starter tals
- Start date
Depends on the team and how seriously they take it tbh. I prefer the banter that a team game gives - however you do tend to go against harder teams
I'm aiming to be on 9.30pm+ tonight (Euro servers) if anyone else fancies joining me in vent

Nice patch on the US version. Euro version I assume will be shortly
fixes one of my biggest irritations with the game which is where people drop out of champion select
http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=64844
and this one should stop a feeders being able to outlevel on a single weak player

There certainly seems to be mixed reactions in the official forums regarding it. I think what they were trying to stop is people bailing because they didn't get the hero they wanted - I reckon the majority are for this reason. I hadn't appretiated some bail because the setup of the team isn't working for them. I treat each game as a challenge - never yet bailed from a game, maybe I will change that position when I get better

Well it doesn't seem to make much difference people still are bailing on that screen.
I played the turret guy - heim for the first time last night. I love his style. No kills but 15 assists and the other team got distracted by trying to take down my turrets. His rocket and stun attacks are also pretty powerful. I love the diversity of the heroes. All quite unique in playstyle.

At least it seems people are now willing to give it more of a chance now than back then
When it was initially released they were quite tight on the beta, they kept the pricing model very close to their chests and they were not saying whether Euro's would be able to play on US servers and vice versa. In addition I had tried Hon and being disgusted with how poor the community was. All of it was shaping up to not being a great experience. I was in the beta but really never got a chance to try it. Come January I fired up the tutorial, really just in one of those bored moments, played some of the well written videos and I was hooked.
I've been playing PC Games +13 years and this is starting to look my favourite game of all time. Love the gameplay, love the diversity of the heroes and even the community is pretty tolerant - even compared to Demigod which were teddy bears compared with HoN's but still painful.
Incredible game and if people are reading this and haven't tried it - just grab it
Not all will like it but if you're like me you're be hooked. And of course I can still play with my US buddies which is a bonus.Tals
By the sound of it you need to try some of the harder heroes. I love the easier heroes - yi in particular is great for taking down the other side, but I suspect if you want a challenge some of the more complex heroes will suit you better. I can also understand you finding LoL lacking compared to Hon. Hon as I understand it kept all of the complexity of Dota and cleaned the graphics up whereas LoL looked to how they could make it more accesible. For the hard core that maybe a sacrifice to far.
The stash is a balance issue imho, you have to juggle what you get with the slots you have available. With a stash it would just mean you could move these out to rejiggle builds which I am not sure would actually improve the gameplay. Like a microwave I guess - once you've had it you don't want to loose it but if you never have experienced it you can't see the use

Ryze is supposed to be a good one to start with, I found him a pain to play against however I have read that hes pretty easy to deal with if you know what you're doing. Good for pwning noobs like me though
I've been playing Yi a lot and he can be awesome if fed early, really fun if you get the right items and outlevel the other team then hes just a ganking machine. Again, like with Ryze, good players won't feed him and judging by the forums hes thought of as a pretty average pick.
Love the game. Tals we should definitely team up sometime mate, I'm sure you can teach me a few things
Yep definitely - although i'm not sure i'll be able to teach you anything, just be fun to play.
I'm always on the US servers but I have a paid for account on the Euro and can easily flick over. My game times are generally +9.30pm Monday - Friday, Saturday and Sunday tend to be all over the shop. If you see me online holler and i'll do likewise. I also always have xfire on (tals)
Game name is talsworthy on both US and Euro - Evil I will add you now
For those who need the free champions, this thread identifies those available on the euro server for the week

Accepted, on my list
I usally play support/tank role ingame so give me a shout if u need one of those
Also grab the Euro version - Barno and I have been having a great session tonight, really good fun
Yep, loved it. Was super fun mate. Great to get some vent tactics going. Cheers tals
Now all we need to do is persuade other's it's not scary on vent and we could get some very fun games going.

OK What you have to remember is the game match making does work, at the moment your Hon experience and just good play is giving you a good march on the others,so you'll be playing very new players generally. As you win your elo (in game rating which you can't see) will be going up - by the look of it fairly rapidly So the more you play the better your matches are going to get. But don't get too excited that what you are seeing will continue unless you are a top tier LoL player. Great play though - way more than I have ever achieved.
Re the creeps it is probably more reliant than Hon on team play in terms of pushing, yes you can push by yourself - as Ashe probably not - he is good but more a ranged player. However if you had tried pushing (even if you could) by yourself a good team would have obviously just taken you down out on your own.
You probably have found them but use the pings
Alt and click. So alt and click a tower - if yours defend, if theirs attack. Alt and click a champion - gank time Alt and clicking along a route - a champion is missing and he is probably coming this way. Helps team play no end

p.s if you can grab the us client as well - use my referral link to create the account https://signup.leagueoflegends.com?ref=4aac95f943b83. That way if its just us euros we can play on Euro server but I have a bunch of US guys so if they are around will help to play with them. Also look up on the thread for my vent info - quite happy for overclockers to use this to play together - would love to see some ocuk team games. The best way to get together is probably via steam (talsworthy) or xfire (tals). I tend to play quite late (10pm - midnight)

Sweet I think Barno and I are about to hit LoL Europe if you are game. Vent info above or we'll spot you in thegame client.
Good game with both yourself and Barno - your HoN skills certainly helped out. That second game was strange, I think the new XP changes stretched the game because they couldn't get the level advantage that would have happened before. I am unsure if it is a good or bad thing because it was an epic game!
I'll be on most nights 10pm+ and Vent
