Second time Ez. So fun. I am so buying him when the weeks end and when I have enough IP.

My first time was 7/7/2 in a team where Rammus have a Spirit Visage and tread, and Vayne that have a damage item at 30 minute mark.

Hey, I'm looking to play a bit of this in advance of dota 2 coming, seeing as how i'll try any valve game, but I don't want to come in completely terrible. Gonna try for a warm-up in LoL. Is there a character which deals a high amount of damage over time, preferably with high mobility? Like a disease necromancer, or light armor poison archer or something like that. I've never really played this style of game before, but I played a ton of wc3 back in the day so I won't be completely helpless.

i suggest you to play HoN, because it's exatly like dota2. LoL is way too different from any other dota colones.

I'm curious, why Warmog's on Irelia so early?
Click to expand...

I don't get it early :< I normally open with Philo Stone -> Phage -> merc or ninja tabi -> trinity -> atma's impaler -> something else depends on enemy team -> warmogs

I've just been fortunate to get a TON of gold due to farming and getting kills so it all builds quickly

Oh you were talking about the game Achtius posted -> It was over for awhile so I just bought it at the end

I am really warming up to Skarner, but I really wish his jungle was better. His mana costs are kind of absurd, so he's super blue reliant and kind of slow. Fun to play but just not really a very consistent champ since his jungle can be shut down so easily because he's garbage in one versus one fights. Want to try and take top with him a few times this week and see how that goes.

Getting people to buy pink wards in solo queue is like pulling teeth. An Akali will kill some idiot 10 times and he will refuse to buy wards.

Even NON-pink wards are this way. I was in a game with 2 other GAF people and 2 randoms, and unless I just missed it, I was the only one (as a Rammus with not much gold) buying wards all game. I probably bought 5-7 total by the end.

It's always a good sign when I'm in solo and I'm the only one buying wards all game (as the AD carry).

Played Ez for the first time in a few months, probably only ever played one game with him ever before. Just rolled over people in Dominion, 13 minute game and went 9/2/7. It was just stupid. I was even rolling with promote as a joke. What a poorly balanced game type.

I don't bother with ranked anymore for that reason. I've been in normals where people show more knowledge than I find in ranked. Nothing against people that like it but if I want to make a name of myself I will join a team and work up the way I did in fps or rts games.

It's not any better higher. I shared an account with some in the 1600-1800 ranage last season. Some people get in to high elos through grinding and luck and often make the rest of their team pick up the slack. I doubt unless you're in the highest tier you will avoid them like that because still happens just far less. Bad junglers are the worst especially since they screw up the jungle and whatever lanes need assistance.

the worst thing about a bad jungle is when you only last hit and let nasus push you to tower but they never gank

and a nasus that never gets ganked is gg

You might think that until all of your lanes push to the tower.

He has a gap closer and an ability that's supposed to nail people hiding behind tanks. I expect him to be blatantly overpowered and get 900 kills each game.

Or at least, I expect him to do a lot of damage.

Quick Draw is Vayne's Roll but worse.

Collateral Damage is Miss Fortune's Double Up (which is an underwhelming mechanic) but stuck on an ult.

The worst junglers always do the following to piss me off.

1. Come in to the lane for a gank and feed them kills because of position and timing.
2. Come in my lane and push it up when not necessary.
3. Never goes to the lanes that need the most help
4. Never ganks at all or uses their status for advantage, basically pve all game till the end.

Jungling is to for most part, dependant on ganks. If you have a shitty mid and solo top then you will just fall behind. Usually in this situation you'd want to TRY to help them with focusing on getting bot to work being the backup plan but any team with a half a brain can just defend bot with their mid or something. Then the game drags into a situation where you're getting no real EXP because you've killed the laning phase early.

I've found relative success with playing offbeat mids/strong solo tops/Galio and Malphite to stomp those AP/AD heavy teams.

For me, getting out of ELO Hell is playing Swain Mid, Renekton/Galio Solo Top, Malphite/Leona/Nunu bot.

Swain tends to be a low ELO master because most mids will get caught in your roots at that level so you'd most likely eat them. Renekton/Galio work well solo top because some games the enemy team doesn't have a jungler and they both do a good 1v2 lane. (Galio's Shield, Renekton's Lifesteal/Ult Tankiness/Kicking Ass)

With Bot Malphite, Leona and Nunu all help your partner win the lane. Nunu can just iceball bully, consume for infinate sustain and generally keep shit off your carry. Malphite can just poke them to death and Leona will keep them in one place so your partner can theoritically kill them.

Or you can just instalock Gangplank.

I find getting kills with riven easy

Just get your w up and time your windslash.

If you have trouble laning, become a jungler or lane with a ranged carryJj

Unique Passives don't stack if they are the same.

That's... kinda it.

Damn, I really need to buy Sona. I don't have to worry about farming, and that's pretty cool. Taric was a bit boring for me, and so was Soraka. Sona is fun because she has more than just heals to help a team out; I really like that. Plus, I like that her abilities are on low cooldowns, so, watching mana is a small price to pay.

1200+ IP to go until I can buy her </3

Excuse me for my ignorance guys, but what are the main differences between HoN, Dota2 and LoL?

(Never played any other game of this type except LoL)
Thank you for your time!

Same build, different game, different skin. More practice as solo top lane, think I'm ready to go back into ranked as something other than a jungler

The community and the competitive scene. It's fairly easy to adapt to the different gameplay mechanics if you master the essentials of one game.
