In LoL paying basically means you have to play less to get access to all teh cool stuff, that you can unlock by playing a lot of games.

It helps out alot.. Heros cost 1300, 3100 or 6100 points (numbers not 100% accurate) And you actually get 100-200points per game. Buying them isnt really cheap either about 5e per hero if you are buying them one by one. You get extra points more you buy so... You also have to buy glyphs which can cost up to 1200 per glyph and you have something like 27rune slots.

If you plan to play a lot, I find it makes more sense to buy XP boosts. I bought the game when it came out of beta, but haven't touched it in a year or so.

Well, I thought it a bit unfair to not at least try the game myself. So I downloaded it and gave it a bash, it's quite interesting. Absolutely is a dota-style game with a more casual pace to it, certainly a great deal less stressful to play.

LoL has some neat features too, like being able to hold down right click on the ground, and your hero will just chase your cursor if spam-clicking isn't your thing, and the little lines that show your intended path on the minimap when you click a location. I also like the launcher's pages on the heroes, with little bars approximating their strengths, weaknesses and difficulty to play well with, as well as a story panel for each and tactics for dealing with them in general terms.

However, it does overall feel a lot less twitchy and precise as HoN or DotA, and would - I think - not satisfy people looking for that high-tension action.

It's largely well put-together, but some stuff in the interface feels a little too small, or unintuitive in their purposes, requiring a mouseover to work out. Spell descriptions/functionality for the one hero I played didn't seem too clear/concise either, and could use some better formatting a la HoN.

Definitely, there's fun to be had playing LoL, but it's a very different style of game indeed, and a bit less refined. I recommend it to anyone who liked the idea of DotA/HoN (team game with some pvp and some pve played over 15-45 minutes), but finds them too stressful or would prefer a slower-paced, slightly simplified game in the same vein.

He made me like it !

So, I've played I think 3-5 games now, and I'm really enjoying the game a lot. It's possibly because of the fact it has the zomgultimatesupport hero in it though, and that that hero is also a tribute to hatsune miku and makes harp sounds with every spell you cast.

My nickname for LoL is Toastcleaner, add me if you want to play with me I hael and buff and don't afraid of anything.

Haha, it's cool to see how people turn to this game and think it's fun. I started with the same oppinion on it, that it was horrible that you had to pay for heroes etc. But once you get around to it, it's alot of fun.

The other nice thing about it is that you can play alot of different builds. For example with Sona (that Kawe plays), you can either go full support by building up ability power to strenghten your abilities. Or you can go cooldown reduction by buying alot of those items. And you have items with aura's to support even more. So you can go so many directions with one hero. Where with Hon for example, it's basicly one build that you always take.

Oh common, it's true. You always go for agility items on an agilty hero! (which makes sense, obviously). In LoL you can go ability power, cooldown reduction, or crit, or even attack damage. So I think it's more diverse.

Don't mind me, was just cleaning some toast to a sparkly shine.

Lux is so crool to play as, deathstar hoooooooooooo!

You can dl free skins from here, only you see them tho, not others. But theres hatsune miku skin for sona which is quite well made

Also support casters FTW

edit: Unlike wow, it is actually legal to have custom skins in LoL.

[Kawe / Dave]

I did see that Miku skin! But vanity things are meant to be seen by as many as possible!

I've actually tried a decent selection of heroes now, think Lux, Janna, Sona are my favourites followed by Katarina and Akali.

Bought sorceress skin for lux because of pointy hats! Soraka has quite similar rule to sona and lux, so should try that out.

You gotta beat my 36-0-13 >_O

Tryndamere is a baller.

Im having a ton of fun on Dr Mundo atm. Pretty much inkillable while his ulti is active and with cooldown reduction glyphs you can pop it every 25 seconds.

My favourite champs are Tryndamere, Mundo, Pantheon (SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA), Morgana (Awesome solo laner with strong early and mid game, but very weak if the game goes for 50minutes), Malphite, Irelia and jax.

Eve is just fukkn OP aswell, played 3 games on her and did around 20+ kills each game, i just really didnt like being so squishy and having to sneak in when the fight ha started, i much prefer being the first guy to charge in and stir shit up.

Didnt think id enjoy Moba style games but there pretty awesome, havent played WoW for months now, havent even logged in since cata >_O been too addicted to LoL.

Guess i should try Dota and HoN.
