League of Legends

[Vad]

I'm here. I'm hot. Let's play.

[Orion]

fucking stupid friends not connecting bullshit

[Kaden]

Sorry, guys. Waff and I had to bail.

Just ran back to give you a heads up cause I felt like kind of a douche.

[Vad]

A Okay, K-Man. Catch ya on the flip side.

[Ashe]

Hahaha, Jack was accusing this guy of hacking and cheating the entire game we played just because he knew how to both play and gear out Ashe. He was very skilled with the character, knew exactly when to use the ultimate for the best advantage, knew how to gear correctly, etc. Jack every five seconds when he died "DAGAN IS CHEATING, WTF, WHAT HAX U USING???"

XD was hilarious.

Meanwhile, that dude is going nuts over my Master Yi.

[Jack]

Ashe is a ho. The two things that kept pissing me off was that HUMONGOUS arrow that seemed to be able to fly across the entire map, and every hit he did slowing me. I would use Ganplanks move to remove crowd control, but it'd be right back the next time he hit me. wtfpwn

Where do you buy the Lucky Pick thing?

There's a glitch where after the match is over, everyone on my friends list will either be shown as offline or In Game (when I know they arent, we just finished the game) and if I IM people they won't respond. I'm assuming they don't see it. So basically I have to relog after every match. Did everyone leave?

[Ashe]

Lucky Pick is in the Ability Power section. There are others in different sections as well, one I know of in the Crit section.

I have that problem too.

[Jack]

patch day

[Vad]

Yeah. I'm giving this a break for awhile.

[Jack]

y wtf

[Vad]

Same reason I quit WoW. I'm tired of doing the same thing over and over. Even among friends.

yet you're still a bloody wanker

[Vad]

At the moment, I don't know how to respond to that.

[Jack]

You can respond by playing LoL

[Tyr]

server is down and I like really wanted to play. boohoo.

[Jack]

Give it a couple of hours or so. I think I'll watch Collateral.

[Ashe]

Don't worry about it Vad. For people that need to take a break, take a break. I can understand the frustrations. I pretty much always want to play, but I also basically never like playing with random people for the same reason I got to the point where I'd refuse to do instance runs with PUGs: People on the internet go out of their way to be fucking assholes.

[Kami]

What are some successful strategies you guys have used? I can't seem to figure out a way to enjoy the game (as I keep dying and loosing which is frustrating) Are you stocking up on certain items to do damage/get armor/health/whatever? Is it all run and gun or what? What do you usually do?

[Kaden]

For me, the first ~7 levels are "push minions until a champion shows up then run back to my own turret." It's 100% counter-intuitive to the way I usually play games ("Hey Waff, won't it be funny when I charge this dude and get us all killed? I think we can win") but the best way to start.

Really the best thing you can do is run the same champ over and over. If you're still not used to the items, just buy the recommended until you've used the champ enough to figure out whether you need more AP or crit chance, or whatever.

There are very few constants in the game, though. I usually start matches by buying a Mana Manipulator, but not all champs have mana. I also like to buy the Boots of Mobility (the boots that give you extra movement out of combat) but some champs get too much out the boots with attack speed (Berserker's Greaves) or dodge chance (Ninja Tabi).

If you don't really know what champions you like to play, or even what styles you like to play, I'd suggest flipping through Master Yi, Ryze, Sion, and Twitch. All four of those have pretty drastically different -- and definitive, really -- play styles.
