The League of Legends Megathread
((The Brand and Kassadin images belong to the ever-talented LupisDarkmoon))
A brief summary from myself: League of Legends is a combat-based RTS game. What does this mean? Although the game has its own lore, there is no campaign or story mode; it is strictly combat. The game is similar to DotA. Two teams start out on opposing sides of the map (except Dominion--I've no idea how Dominion works other than it looks kind of like AB) with the goal being to destroy the other team's nexus.
Website I personally use for champion builds and how to play the champions (It also includes some generic, basic game features guides): http://www.solomid.net/guides.php
There are other sites that offer sites that offer similar things; this is just the one that was suggested to me by one of my hardcore playing guildies.
Disclaimer: The purpose of this thread is to be informational and share about the game. If your only purpose is to come in here and say that this is a crap game, then please keep it to yourself. I don't want this to be a debate thread about the pros and cons of LoL, especially if someone isn't going to at least take the time to formulate a good argument about it. Non-constructive/overly off-topic posts will be reported.
However, if you've never played and are curious about the game, please feel free to ask questions!
I think some basic things to get us started can be:
Summoner Name:
Summoner Level:
Favorite Champion and why you like said champion:
(If you think of something else, feel free to add it.)
I'll start it off:
Summoner Name: TygerDarkstorm (Note: I don't mind if you add me, but please don't use the game like an IM chat session. I tend to be sort of anti-social and usually when I log into the game I'm there to play a round or two or I'm checking out my runes/masteries/ogling champions.)
Summoner Level: 13
Favorite Champion and why: Sivir. I know she's a bit of an underloved champ, especially before she got her much needed buff, but I got around to trying her during her free week and just absolutely fell in love with her style. I've been having trouble just clicking with a champion and having their gameplay fall into place for me and ever since discovering Sivir I've been wrecking bots' faces. XD
I really need to go to sleep atm, but later on I'll get around to posting some other, relevant information.
