Is this game worth it even if you can't really pay anything for it at the moment?

So I won't get a disadvantage against other paying players like that my free champions suck balls compared to theirs?
No, new accounts are all in the same place unless someone wants to go out and spend some 100$ buying up most of the champions(Which is rare, and offers literally no advantage other than them having a larger variety too choose from).Sniper McBlaze said:
And the free champions aren't just the weak throw away either. This week has some of the best for example(Vlad, Morg, Mundo). I started about 7 months ago and had to go through free champions, did alright. Started buy my own. Got some runes, etc. At about 23 champions now.

Also, IP builds FAST. If you zero in on a hero and a rune build, it's totally possible to have them fully set up quickly.

I'm ~35 champs right now, have all of the ones below 3150, and a good portion of the 3150s as well. Only 6300 I've saved up for is Kennen.

I have like 6, but I'm trying to get a diverse range of characters suitable for any team.
I still want to get Rammus, Blitzcrank, and Taric. I need to pick up another caster, though.

Haha, not that much any more. I played him a lot over the summer, when no one thought he was OP/annoying. I find that most games I play with him now I only do well until I hit lvl 18, then the other team either figures me out or starts to focus me or something.

I think the reason most people start playing is because you don't have to pay anything

I have found this, too.
I'm not the best player, but I played with a Lux yesterday that was just... baffling. She completely cost us the game.

The thing about MOBA games like LoL is that one bad player feeding the other team or being generally worthless costs you the game. Plus the whole fact that games last so long (at least 25min) and you can't leave without incurring penalties (like the leaverbuster and upcoming afk buster system, missing out on XP/IP, etc).
The other day I had a player mid who went 0/6/0 within the first 15 min and I knew the game was over (opposing mid champion was 4/0/2 and destroyed the turret at 8 min). The worst is when you've clearly lost the game (eg they have 25 kills to your 5, they destroyed 5 turrets to your 0) and call for surrender and your team votes 3-2 in favor of surrender...but of course that is an unsuccessful vote, you need FOUR votes if there are 5 voting players.

Surrender time should be earlier and it should only need 3 out of 5 votes. Had a guy berate another for the start of the game. He didn't like his character pick. The same guy who was 5/0/5 to his 0/5/5. Eventually I cut in and call the guy who keeps berating him a fucking retard. Takes it to offensive and starts to intentionally feed the other team, pouts around for 20-30 minutes, before deciding that he actually wants to win the game. A game that should have been over by 20 minutes. Turned into an hour long game.
Pretty much. Her best phase is the laning phase and if she doesn't get that gold - she's dead in the water. Like the range she needs to be to do her magic is short & can fuck her over since she has no survivability and that crappy excuse of a spell her W is doesn't help since it's small. I really do think she needs a specific team make up where she can do her magic. A buff was in place for the last patch but it was postponed.Macattk15 said:
I kept trying and trying with her til I bought Anivia and she offers so much then Cass. I feel like a hypocrite saying that cause I've feel a champion should viable be on it's own merits and not be compared to a better champ as it's measure of viability. But fuck me if that bird doesn't bring so much to the table. :lol
I bought Cass with real monies and felt burnt but I bought Anivia and felt a little better afterward. And that rant felt good. :lol

can someone explain how crit damage stacks with regards to the infinity edge?
Like if i have +5% crit dmg from masteries + runes, is that negated by the inifinity edge?

Man when you have a full team and one of the guys knows their champion well, the game is so much fun. On the other hand, when you start a game and people leave or go afk, it sucks. I love the game but the fact that one person can change the tide of the game in such a drastic fashion sucks at times.

That feature, along with replays/observers/magma chamber has been long promised but as yet there's been little progress.
Speaking of arranging a game, i figured i might as well try and arrange a GAF game here rather than just suggesting it as happened at the top of this page. With that in mind, I'm suggesting we play on this Saturday, at approx 6pm EST. So if 4 people want to reply that they're available, then we can do this rather than just talk about it. If that time isn't okay with you let me know and we might be able to change it.

First game back from not playing for a while and went 17-10-18 with Corki. Not too shabby.
EDIT: 10-1-5 on my second game back with Annie. Got my groove back!

Damn I get pissy in some games. Was the tank, and got told 3 fucking times to go engage. Got bailed on all 3 times and not one of the retards picked up Merc Trends against an entire team of Magic(single AD carry, poorly farmed), nor Bashee's veil
