Ok, ok worst tank in the game. But tanks are inherently valuable in team composition, so maybe not the worst character in the game. I'd say that goes to Swain. Swain is slightly less useful than Heimer's turret. He allows you to see the map and does less damage.

I prefer to have one ranged AD carry per team, so having Miss Forune and Twitch is a bit redundant. You want to have that carry always get red and fed, and having to share between a twitch and MF is something I don't usually approve of. One of those heroes could be used to select an assassin with a shit ton of burst damage to eliminate the opposing teams carry. Something like an Akali or Kassadin, these are the kind of champs that can easily get to to the squishy and take it down. Even though you have Twitch which can kind of fill that role, it gets a lot more difficult when the other team has wards and oracles and what not, actively trying to counter its presence. Some also fill the role of being able to jungle so thats another option for your team.
TL;DR: Pick one from Twitch or Miss Fortune for your main carry. Consider assassins such as Kassadin or Akali to effectively nullify the opposing squishies.

Teemo is a step above that crew I think. He has my highest winning % in ranked right now. :lol

Nah Teemo's pretty awful. He's getting buffed next patch though.
I just solved the issue. Apparently the directory I installed LoL to was the issue. For some reason something was wrong with installing it at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Riot Games\League of Legends\" I reinstalled to the default directory, which was at "C:\Riot Games\League of Legends". Suddenly it worked after this.thestopsign said:
I've been playing this since yesterday and now I get it (I played the tutorial first). It's a lot of fun! I still haven't played as all the starting champions, but so far I would have to say my favorite is Katarina. Something that really annoys me though is the community in this game. They tend to be very elitist, and I'm only playing normal games! I would hate to know what ranked games are like! In my first match, I still didn't have too much of an idea of what I was doing other than "Stay with the minions, especially under turrets, watch out for other Champions". Some guy in there had the "Wow, you suck and are terrible" attitude. I told him it was my first day, he still persisted with it. I tend to run into a lot of people like this in this game. I just try to ignore it, and the game is still fun though.
This also has me pumped for Valve's DotA 2.

LoL isn't that bad. As long as you know what you're doing and don't do stupid stuff, most of the players won't say anything. If you;re an idiot and run into their jungle with no wards intent on taking red and get ganked terribly, then you get all the shit you're gonna get.

Start adding everyone in the second post, but I'm fine with playing with you if you want some pointers or to have a fun time. My LoL name is Chronos.
Tom Cadwell, design director, posted some interesting design guidelines that he uses.
It's quite heavy handed and esoteric, so if you don't know RPG mechanic terms, might be hard to read.

Wow good post, I can understand his reasoning behind not making skills like rupture but I for one enjoy doing out-of-game research on heroes and builds so not having this avenue of metagaming is detrimental to my enjoyment of LoL.

So after watching a bit of the finals between CLG and EPIK, I decided to try out a jungle Nunu/tank build. It works great apparently, but in the two games I played as him, I had a total of 6 leavers between my two teams. I'm not shitting you. My first game went down to 3v5 with us holding out for about 40min with a Garen, Tryndamere, and me as Nunu. It was understandable sort of why they quit, their mouses simply weren't working. They talked to us for a bit, but couldn't move. Then the second game I had someone not load at all, which caused someone else to leave as soon as the game started. Then I had a Poppy rage quit after dying twice. Then our Singed sat in base and told the other team where I was going the rest of the time. It's too bad because I was doing lots of damage and farming really well between Consume and Smite.

Sup, LoLGAF. I seek your assistance.
I currently own an iMac, and I want to play LoL. The release of the Mac client has been delayed again and again, but I found out I can engage in testing! I want to do this, since I hear it's practically the same thing as the normal version with a few visual glitches here and there but there's some sort of hideous Catch-22 in place.
I have to get the beta-test version from the forums, so I signed up. However, to sign into the forums, I have to sign into LoL itself to make a summoner. But I can't sign into LoL if I can't download the beta-test version from the forums.
So, can anyone help a fella out? This is ridiculous.
BTW, I used to be really heavy into DotA, being a decent player when I stopped about 3-4 years ago. So I'm not going to be completely retarded when I play.

you could ask a friend to log in the account for you on their computer to make a summoner name.

Why does this absurd system exist?

Nope, I already have an account.
But when I try to sign into the forums to get into the Mac beta-test, I am redirected to a page telling me to sign into LoL. But I can't sign into LoL until I can get into the forums to get into the Mac beta-test, so I can download LoL.
It's a Catch-22.

That could be a possibility. I'd appreciate it if you did!

Try Karthus. His ult ALWAYS hits, in all directions, at all distances ... unless they have a damn banshee veil!
So satisfying seeing someone get away with like 100 hp and you know they slam their Recall key but they see Karthus's red beam of doom come down on their heads.
Even more fun when it's doing 1200 damage.
Archie said:
Haha yes. He is a raging man child who is pretty epic with blaming poor play. I've seen him rant and rage for a whole hour after the game. :lol
He actually started a service where for as low as $5, he'll sign on to your account and play a ranked game and win for you. I could tell because I've seen friends on my list on his livestream being owned.

Tanks? Tanks? Where we're going, we don't need tanks!
PS Guys wish me luck, I applied for a job at Riot! Hope I can get it to make one of my favorite games even more awesome!
Edit: I thought about editing out my Elo, but whatever, you can all witness how much I suck :/ I'm on a good streak lately!
