League Of Legends Catch All

O.K.
New rule: If you want an invite, post a link to your Steam profile or contact me over Steam. The first would probably be easiest.

Those were some fun games last night, gents. Hopefully we can get some more in tonight.

I'm finally up to summoner level 5, so if there are games going on tonight, I'm definitely in. I'll hang out in the chat room on Steam when I'm available.

And if any of you haven't tried Evelyn yet, she's worth a look. I compare her to Wolverine - She's the best at what she does (but she only does 1 thing).

OK, having fun with it, so far. I think I've got a handle on a couple of the characters I've played with.

Steam name: [GWJ]Sephirotic

Oh, sorry, didn't see that.
Invite sent.

Uh, nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

Move along...

Mind sending me an invite?

[GWJ] Rexneron

Played a bunch during the beta, then a slew of games hit. I'll be getting back into it now.

Sent.

May I have one as well? Please!?!

Had a few issues playing the game through Steam (I'm assume it's the overlay) but I guess others haven't had problems.
Anyway, I played through the tutorial and can already tell I'm going to f-ing love this game.

Haven't even tried adding it in, is it worth a try? I've added a couple to the LoL friend system to enable arranged teams (feature I don't think we'll manage through the Steam Overlay).

Does this make voice chat over steam work better? I have a few pals I play with, and we don't have a friendly vent server between us.

Steam chat works, but more often then not cuts out by the 25 minute mark of every match.

I haven't had any problems running it with the Steam overlay, but the only reason I did that was so people in the Steam group could see what I was playing in case they want to join. In the long run, I think having a friends list within the game will be best.

For anybody who wants to add me, my name in LoL, as always, is Ahrezmendi.

Like I said before, I can't find you. Give me a link to your steam profile or copy your nickname directly.

My bad. I thought you would need to enter my login name, which is different from my other name, WpnX.

So get what you can from here.

O.K. Invite sent.

Does anyone know when they are going to rotate the chapmions to the new set available for those of us who haven't purchased Champions?

It was supposed to be weekly, and I believe they're rotating today. I suggest giving Master Yi a try.

Also note that you can purchase individual unlocks so you can play with a particular champion 24x7; hero unlocks (like most items in the store) can be bought through real currency (riot points) and game-played currency (influence points), so it's not only available for people that 1. purchased the special edition, 2. plumped some money into their account.

Just played with Master Yi for the first time. After that I promptly spent the 450 (or so) influence points to unlock him.
Ryze has some competition.

I also fixed the framerate issue I had been having. Yay, smooth 60 fps instead of jumping between 10 and 30! Stupid Nvidia and giving me the wrong drivers.

Just to follow up on this, I did buy the special edition, and I think it's more than worth the value. You get 20 champions, some of whom are pretty expensive, plus a bonus skin (another $5), about 1500 riot points, and higher level runes that you can use in lower level slots. It's easily worth the $30, and buying the parts individually would come out to quite a bit more.

I am purposefully not buying any of the champions, runes, etc with influence right now because I've asked for the Champions Pack for Christmas. Everytime I log in, I want to buy a Champion but have to tell myself, "No!" It's getting much harder.

Keep an eye out and you can find places that have it on sale for 20-25 dollars too!

Man last night was horrible. I'd like to say it was your guys fault but i died SO many times... Which is funny because the games i played earlier i won all but one and did well. I also played one more after our group broke up and won that one with a nice KDR as well. I seem to have mental block when playing against certain heroes which ends up with me feeding them.

New Champion - Nidalee

The shapeshifting mechanic seems neat, though her passive ability is "meh" at best, and doesn't change based on her form. Seems to sit firmly in the Support category, but play will show more. She'll be free to play next week.

I wouldn't worry about buying Runes. The ones you get with the digital collector's edition are all upgraded, and I haven't seen them available in the store.

Oh, and you can feel free to buy at least the following champions, who I remember were *not* included in the pack:
Ashe
Katarina
Nunu
Gangplank
Karthus

I'd disagree. Of course we have yet to actually see it in action, so this is all speculation. But, getting a 25% speed boost is definitely enough to help her escape a combat and the extra 2 seconds of stealth is huge. Several times I have tried to travel along the brush to be able to ambush a player, only to have to pop out for a second to get to the next bush. Inevitiably they see me and the ambush is lost. She doesn't suffer from this fault. As a passive, it's a pretty damn nice one.

The main problem I see with it is it's only on exiting the brush. Play will tell yes, but it seems to me they'll still have ample time to kill her while she's entering and moving through the brush.

It does sound great for laying down ambushes though, especially in her cougar form. It would also help her move between lanes very quickly, another reason why I think she's firmly planed in the Support category.

Fine. I am convinced. Begining download now, I will be asking Fedora for an invite to the group. At least I dont have to worry about cost on this one...

I'd like to take this moment to thank you all for putting up with my massive suckage and tendency to loose us the game... THANKS!

So I cant seem to play a mage/ranged character for the life of me, all I do is feed the enemy team. I am great with master yi and Kayle though. Any thoughts?

Most range guys are on teh weak side so until you get the gear to handle its best to keep your distance. I know its hard i have the same problem.
