Ability that goes invincible and pentakills the other team? Sounds OP, Fiora needs a nerf etc. :mad:

I still haven't gotten over quadra (probably Riven).

So what's the general consensus on Hecarim? Is he built pretty much like Skarner?

Our region just got updated and I have ~8k IP sitting. Unsure if I should blow it on him or just MS quints since I only have gp10 quints right now.

So is this game still worth getting into? More and more people I know are playing this but I'm not sure. Will I get a fair chance or should I just wait for Dota2?

Haha I think you'd have more of a fair chance here than in DotA2 - especially if you haven't played games of this genre before.

They're both worth playing. LoL has the advantage of being easier to get into, but makes the transition to DOTA harder if you used to LoL. DOTA is difficult to get into, but has the advantage of making you a natural at LoL.

Wow played a game with a friend who initially forced me to start playing this game. Hadn't played with him since I was sub 30. The normal elo he's in isn't so hot. Went 23/1/8 with ashe without even trying. The enemy team was Blitz solo top, annie mid, jax/singed bot, and jungle yi.

Yea, this is very true. All of the best times I had while gaming were the ones that had me teaming up and playing together with friends. I might give this game a shot but one more question, though. Is it rewarding for new players or do you get the feeling you are dumbed down or kept small?

I don't actually know what you're asking....
New players generally get to play with new players (unless you're too good for new players). Progression is personal as a player, but there is also metagame progression (account level, runes). Personal progression is much more important in the end.

As someone who plays Soraka this really hurts. Mundo changes hurt too but they aren't bad enough that I can't deal with them.

I guess the bright side of not getting to play your best role is you start to branch out more. Since I picked up graves I've been working on my AD carry. Getting better with it. AP mid is still my best role but it is pretty satisfying having 250-300 CS and mowing through the enemies in teamfights with auto attack lol.

I really have to work on my early game with AD bottom though. I think I get too aggressive and I don't really have the best handle on the matchups yet.

I'm really interested to see Varus in action. He might be the first new champ released that I'm going to buy. I was REALLY tempted with Fiora but I didn't for some reason. The only thing I'm not really a fan of is it looks like his base movespeed is really low. I hate slow champs.

More like her body looks really small and short relative to how big her head is and where her bottom starts. I just woke up though so my mind might be having trouble making sense of it.

I'll probably end up buying most of those skins anyways though. :(

There is still some weird artifacts and proportions in some of the character art. But Riot has been getting better at it.

That's totally what we need. I was just thinking, the other day, "Irelia is too wimpy. What she needs is a bit of a buff." >_>

Also lol at talon's mana change going the opposite direction from the other patch notes...I guess we'll have to see what the final result is?

The Bunny Riven art apparently drove some people nuts because of the both breasts + both buttocks visible at the same time thing. Presumably you can't have that unless you're a contortionist.

Three days ago I bought Kennen with my hard earned, just-started-on-new-region lowbie IP, and already got a pentakill when rushing in to save a teammate who's being chased by the whole enemy team. Pop ulti, activate W and BOOM, corpses, corpses everywhere. Soon after they surrendered even though they weren't doing so bad. Felt so damn sweet :)

This will surely be my new main account from now on. On EU-West, Ossh as my name. Now to just get flash :d

It just blew my mind.

When I remarked:

me: "Wow this must be low elo"
enemy team member: "WTF is elo"

There was weird stuff... like our ryze had teleport/ghost. Our skarner built weird too, Latern and hextech gunblade. I guess not terrible items, but never seen a skarner build them.

There was a also tons of "faggot" talk.

Luckily our random Nautalus was a nice guy. He stopped attacking even though I was at 50hp just so I could get the penta.

Getting matched with people who have 1500+ wins whereas I don't even have 100. Is this a good thing?

After I lose 3 in a row I usually just call it a night. Helps keep my sanity in check.

The correct action is presumably to take at least a 2-hour break if you lose 2 games in a row, but I'm usually too dumb to do this.

I think I had some surreal ranked games recently, where there were things like a top lane person on the opposite team who was eating food, so they were barely able to do anything besides die under their turret.

Probably the latter and a bit of the spoiler since I just run around facerolling my keyboard.
