Yep.
Indeed, active spells are usually better than passive abilities until you get some items to let the passive scale.

Pre-made bots are letting me down, even though I do well at mid (not one of my stronger roles).
Thought I'd be going mid against Yasuo but it ended up being Xerath mid, Yasuo top, and Maokai support (???)
Maybe I'll get Arcade MF and just refund her if she's available at PAX.

Maokai support can work. He can poke with his sporlings, and if careful enough can use his abilities to deal some decent damage allowing the ADC to follow up on.

Seems like NA is going to shit yet again

I don't think Gnar is very good.
He's fun. I won both my games. But... I think his laning is really bad. His teamfight is fine but he's way too vulnerable in lane.

I guess Gnar was to gnarly for NA that hes causing the server to not respond.
Can't you safely farm with Q? I guess not very well... but it's safe! Maybe have a rune page with CD reduction?
you have to run attack speed and hybrid pen runes too.

I was running attack speed but not hybrid pen.
even still it's shit. Worse then W max Jinx.

Dammit. I came home for lunch for a quick LoL game. My day has been ruined. Damn you, Gnar!

I'm still finding it awkward with the Boomerang's return direction. Maybe I just need to get used to leading it like Draven axes, but there are times when I'm moving across the map where it either changes direction too much or not enough.
Global skillshot that costs no mana on a 20-second cooldown? That sounds problematic.

what do you like to play in Dota? That might make it easier for us to recommend you something.
Play all of the free ones as they rotate every week. You'll find someone you like.

this is also good advice.
I usually like magic users with CCs, the only Champ I liked so far was Morgana.
Part of the challenge of Gnar, I think, will come from nailing down the timing on the rebound.
There's a small window where it changes its direction, I think just as it comes back, and yeah I missed it a lot of times in my games as well. It's much harder than Draven's shit.

The AoE is tiny, the only people who'll make it problematic are xXxMLG180n0scopezGoSupRoSxXx.
And I think everyone wants to see global snipes as Gnar.

At best you could have 15% CD...by level 18. I say go for defensive runes for Gnar.
Then again it's still the first day, lots of time before we can find Gnar's potential.

You might also like Lux, Orianna, Lulu, Lissandra, Syndra, Ryze and Zyra.
I'd start with Lux and Orianna though.
With Draven's axes, after enough practice and when you get the rhythm right leading axes becomes second nature. Muscle memory really. It's a really cool feeling.
With Gnar's Boomerang I feel it stalls you in a lot of scenarios. Leading it feels off. But yeah, probably a getting used to it/mastery thing. Especially when you have to factor in Hyper's movement speed boost.
Lux and Karma are pretty similar to Morgana. Skill shot binds/slows and shields. Lux even has a "pool", but instead of dealing damage over time you have to manually trigger it for burst damage.

Yeah I've also tried Lux ,Ryze and Orianna. didn't like Ryze or Orianna that much. but Lux was fun. I haven't tried Lulu, Lissandra, Syndra or Zyra yet. I guess I'll have to wait until they're in the rotations before i can even decide.

Her arrow is more like Varus Q.
Although I really want Windrunner in League. CC, long range poke, 100% dodge and an ult that gives max attack speed.
I realise she's INT but man her kit would be broken as an ADC in LoL.

Yeah, Lux is the closest to Morg.
I dunno if you like QoP but if you do Kassadin is lots of fun.
Well you factor that in with his built in CDR of his Q and it should be hit down by quite a lot.
it's probably shit against other ranged top laners, yeah. especially in a mirror match which would make the hyper speed boost useless. mirror matches are terrible in general.
whats not shit is auto-boomerang-auto for 25% of their health and you get to be a vayne with jinx passive after that.

Orianna, Lux, Lissandra, Zyra, Lulu are some others to try out in that mold. I'm not really familiar with DotA slang for the most part, but in LoL they're generally referred to as Utility Mages.

A meta where she's not shit.
This is great advice. You'll find a champ that really clicks with you and you can buy it.
Also, you should save IP for level 20. You will need like 15k or so to build out two complete Tier 3 runepages. Having that at level 20 will give you a big leg up for the remaining 10 levels and you need it for being competitive at level 30.

Fiora's the best champion no matter what meta it is.
Seriously she's pretty good right now.
I might be misremembering things, but not all rune slots are opened up once you hit 20.
Fiora said:
She benefits from players having no clue what she does, like level 2 burst and having ridiculous amounts of AD in the early levels. Which is perfectly fine, of course. Playing low pick rate champions successfully has a lot to do with knowing how your opponents' champs play but them having no clue about how your champ plays.
Nah, it's just that the genius designers of this game have been turning (and keep doing it more and more) it into something in which champions without any kind of built-in escape are automatically inferior.
League champions in general lack the kind of CC/Burst DOTA 2 supports are notorious for, so no. It's either burst, or CC, and just a tiny bit.
You could try LeBlanc I guess, who gets both Burst and CC.

From what I can see, Lion Q is like Braum ult and his W is like Lulu's polymorph.
There are no mana draining mechanics in League and the supports don't really have nukes. They tend to have more supportive utility.
You might like Lulu though? She's a mage that's very utility heavy.
