League of Legends anyone?

Well it's official, Riot Singed will have a final sale before it goes limited. However, PAX Jax is gone for good :(. He's been replaced with PAX Sivir. Man, I really wanted that Jax too.

Anyways, here's a look at the new skins to come:

http://lol-game.ru/forum/index.php?/topic/45657-vzgljad-ukradkoi-predreliz-skinov-v100124/

Bizzaro Annie
Victorious Jarvan IV (The Gold Elo Limited Skin)
Demolisher Nunu
Pax Sivir
Dragonslayer Vayne
Pentakill Karthus
And Talon's double bundle, Crimson Elite and Renegade Talon.
 
I'm not even sure why they make Nunu skins anymore. Sure, there are champions that have more skins than him, but that Sesame Street Nunu and Nunu Bot are just too good to passup.

Talon's skins are kinda junky to me. Original makes him look like an unoriginal Marvel hero. Then he has one that makes him look like a Bandit meets The Warriors. And his final one is a pretty poor mesh of Magneto and Judge Dredd. x.x I was looking forward to him too.
 
If anyone is going to PAX or has a friend going that could snag a pair of PAX Sivir skin codes, I'd be willing to pay reasonably for them.
 
Any of you guys willing to help a complete newbie learn to play the game? I understand the general idea of the game, but have no idea what is the right way to play. I know this type of game is not friendly to new people so it would be nice if some cool people would be willing to help me out without being judgmental about it.

Learn to last hit minions during the laning phase. It's how you get most of you gold. It keeps your lane from being pushed (and less likely to be ganked).

Buy wards whenever you can. Place them at entrances into lanes (IN BUSHES which Flippr still hasn't learned), buffs, Dragon, and Baron.

Don't buy any runes until you're level 20.

Check www.leaguecraft.com www.mobafire.com and www.solomid.net for guides on Champions. I'd start with leaguecraft. Mobafire has a better layout but I find the guides more offensive-based than I like. Solomid guides are made by higher elo players, they don't always translate well into normal.

Know the role of your champion and play to that role.

Once you unlock Flash and Ignite, take them. Everyone takes Flash/Ignite.



Also, patch notes. Kind of small this time but it's going to take at least 10 hours since they're implementing some Dominion stuff.

Welcome MisterBee :) You can add me in-game, I'm Rabbitsuit. And I'd give you advice, but I just freaking lost a co-op yesterday.

2 v 5, after 53minutes, I couldn't push faster than all of the bots.
Felt bad.
Felt very bad.

On a good note, today's patches are GODLIKE. First off, Elo Bracket Changes!

Platinum elo is now just 25more than what old Gold used to be! Gold is actually less than the previous Silver elo! Never went into ranked, but damn it all, I am now.
 
Whats up Bee!

Add me in game: FlipprDolphin

I know everything, so you can ask me questions. The rest of these guys all learned from me.

So here is what to do:

1) Start playing.
2) Figure out what you dont know what is going on and ask us.
3) Then we will tell you.

Then go back to Step 1!

Look at what icedrake says, and ask us what words you dont understand :)

You dont NEED to push the ward in the bush!!!!!!!!!

Tell me a good reason to put a ward in the bush!

You put it between the exit of their jungle, dragon, and the bush.

You put it in the bush, it will be too late if you are extended.

You need a warning, not to see them standing there!

A wild Rammus appears charging down the river. Powerball, activate! Oh no, your ward is in the bush and you dont have enough time to run!

A wild Rammus appears charging down the river. Powerball, activate! Your ward is far enough to see him coming and you have time to run!

Crisis averted!

Others here are already covering good general tips. Just play games. Don't be afraid to ask questions while in game. Just know you WILL have people rage at you and be pretty vile abot it at times. /ignore them and keep playing. You will find helpful people too. By the time you're level 30 you should be well in the swing of things.

Now I just need to hit 1400 elo for siliver rating. Every time i get to the 1380s I lose. :(

First, you put it in the bush so everyone knows if they're standing there. They have to be looking at the screen constantly to know if an enemy went in the bush. And putting it where you do doesn't give that much more visibility.

Second, if you're chasing them for a kill, they'll still be targetable if they go in the bush.
 
So I bought Irelia and tried her 2 games. Sucked in both, more the last than the first (hate laning against Akali). In both games, one of my teammates just bitches about my build. Every guide I see, says build Tri Force early, then tanky late. In the second game I was working on a Gunblade just because I had no idea what else to get and thought I was tanky enough.

I'm just bored of always playing the same champions. I don't even care if I lose while I'm trying to learn Irelia.
 
Hate to say it but I side with flippr on the ward issue at least concerning the river wards. bot lane's should be at dragon anyway so no need to double up there. get it as close to the lane as you can while still keep dragon visible. top should have theres between the exit from top jungle and the ramp entrance to the blue rune. keeps you safe from ganks and guards your blue/lets you see if the other team goes to blue from river. when blue is up SOMEONE will always go for it so its a great place to get a free kill if you're in position for it.
 
You guys are wrong.

DUDE, Razor has a giveaway with League of Legends right now. They're handing out Tier 3 movement speed Quints (and Tier 3 Critical Damage, but those don't matter) for signups.

Save yourself 6000ip? Yes, please.

Their twitter for details -- http://twitter.com/#!/CultOfRazer


Such perfect timing with Riot Singed being on sale. Free runes for the optimum Singed build *_*
 
Ah, sorry. I thought it was linked on there at the time. Anyways they took it down again from the looks of it. Should be back up again soon.

I was able to get my Tier-3 movement speed quints though. I'm happy that I was able to pick this up :) Just a shame I won't be able to pick up the PAX skins.
 
I'm trying to do the Razer thing. Had trouble getting the site to accept my info, gave a database error. Then tried again on a different browser, and the whole site gave the error. I finally got in, submitted my info, and got the email. Now the email does the database error >.
 
Gave up on the free runes. Website is running on a 486 apparently. Razer is definitely saving PC gaming. Guys buy our $3000 shitty laptop so we can upgrade our web servers! Nevermind the fact that you can build a way better PC for under $1k easy.

inb4 Megazell saying he paid $17.89 for his entire rig
 
I now have my code for my free runes, and lol has over an hour wait to log in... I dont have that kind of time today :(
 
Haven't played much this weekend. Playing on my laptop sucks. Plus there was that hurricane thing.

I tried out Skarner in a custom game earlier. He's so useless. He just does nothing. No initiation to tank, no DPS, no burst, no support ability. He might be able to tank if his W gave him extra armor and MR instead of a shield.
 
[quote name='Waughoo']I now have my code for my free runes, and lol has over an hour wait to log in... I dont have that kind of time today :([/QUOTE]

The login queue is based on your Window's time. If you change the time of your clock, your queue is adjusted as such. You have a 51minute wait? Increase your clock by 50minutes and wait just 1 minute.

It supposedly resets itself if you don't do it at a close enough time to where you can login. So I hear, anyways. I haven't tried this, but it's being spammed on the forums.
 
and pigs can fly too!

so i hear, anyways


SO I UNLOCKED YORIC

no one fucks with him in the lane. it is pretty freaking hilarious

i just need to stop having fun by harassing and last hit more

but he is so silly fun
 
[quote name='Morphx2']hahaha

i was in 30 min queue

set clock for 30 min

no queue

haha

blah, it still wont let me in[/QUOTE]

Oh :( But the pig thing is still legit, right?
 
i got banned again. through tribunal this time and for 3 days. guess it goes up each time, but its kinda lame that the tribunal bans stack with previous bans. (got banned by a butthurt riot employee last time)

also it was on my smurf account so... guess i'll have to make a new one : ( i liked my name too.
 
Looks like AOE is broken. Champs like Teemo, Cait, Karthus, and Cass all have issues with their AOE being ridiculously large. I believe Morde, Orianna, and Urgot also have the issue, but it's unconfirmed, though my friend has been playing Orianna all morning and she definitely seems to have a much larger radius on her ball.

I've been playing Cait and it's been hilarious being able to cover an entire lane with just two traps. People are nowhere near my traps and are constantly setting them off.
 
Yeah, it's been like that for over a week now. Morde's Cone and Maokai's knockback hits far larger than it should right now. Brand's pillar is also absurdly powerful. Even with boots, it's difficult to escape it thanks to the extra radius around it.

Edit -- That finished fast. Also, QQ, I'll never have that beautiful PAX Jax.

The PAX codes are crazy, I was lucky to snag a Sivir one after asking at least a dozen people I knew that were actually there. Never had any luck with the Jax or Nasus ones.
 
Yeah *_*; this whole thing has been a mess really. I thought I had a chance of picking up a PAX Jax since they decided to hand them out if you played Dominion at PAX (or got lucky on Garen's Spin-to-Win wheel), but it was all to no avail.

I regret not buying one from a CAG for 25 at the last one.
