League of Legends is a DoTA (Defense of the Ancients) style game made by some of the people that worked on DoTA Allstars. It's free to play; but, includes augmentations that you can buy with real money or in-game points.
Get on the G&T vent to play with us (list at bottom), the vent info is stickied at the top of the forum.
There's a ton of info on the game, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel. So, check out:
leagueoflegends.com, the game database provided by Riot (who make the game).
leaguecraft.com, there are a lot of fan sites out there with general information and builds. This is just one; and, it's kinda slow as shit. Regardless of where you look for builds keep in mind, most of them make assumptions that are not clearly conveyed and there are a lot that are just plain bad. Tread lightly.
KillerCodeMonkey's wiki, add your brilliant shit to it.
Game mechanic shit, stuff like how attacks and magic and fuck work.
Rune break-dancing, good info about what runes you should buy.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE
HERE'S A LIST OF NERDS WHO ARE BETTER THAN YOU AND ALWAYS WILL BE HAVE FUN WATCHING THEM WHEN YOU COULD BE PLAYING YOURSELF
You better only only look at this shit at work.THE BUSY-BUSTER CODES - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
When you've got the client open, type
"Left, Right, Left, Right, Down, Down, Up, Up, 3 then 4"
Alternatively
"CTRL+L --> [ javascript:setServerStatus(1) ]"
Again, use them at your own risk.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND REAL CASH DOLLA MONIES FOR CHAMPIONS
Drop $20 for the Retail Box (Amazon, Best Buy, GameSpot,
Newegg, Target, and Wal-Mart typically have this) It gives you $10 in Riot Points, take those, then buy $10 in Riot Points and $5 in Riot Points. Spend all of them on the second champ pack.
That's $35 for 40 champs permanently unlocked; none of the post-40 have ever been in a bundle AFAIK.
Q: How can I get champions and save money?
A: You won't have to spend a cent if you simply play games and earn enough IP to buy them all. If, however, you wish to hasten the process you may buy champions with real money. The most cost effective way to buy champions is by purchasing the two bundles on offer.
For $45 you can buy 6380 Riot Points, which are used to buy champions and skins. 3900 of those points gets you the Digital Collector's Pack, which contains 20 champions and includes 1380 Riot Points (huh?). If you were to buy the champions individually it would cost 37800 IP or 9620 RP. The Digital Collector's pack can also be bought in stores or online as a boxed copy, which may save you a significant amount of money.
3410 Riot Points gets you the champions bundle. This contains some more expensive champions. Bought individually they would cost 60750 IP or 14350 RP (ish).
This leaves you with 450 RP, enough to buy yourself a single skin!
I've decided not to deal with updating this obnoxiously coded picture assortment of champions. So go to the LoL wiki for the updated Champion list.
Valiantine has a lovely spreadsheet that you can add your summoner name to.
HEY LISTEN!https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ap5qFqD3oLKndHNfOGJ1VFNZVVZ6c1NtZVktdXpsTVE&hl=en&authkey=CJPuh4wG#gid=0
I placed everyone's name in the OP to this neat and tidy spreadsheet. You should be able to edit it yourself, find your name and fill the fields. If anyone is getting problems, PM MooMan or VaLiantine, because I don't understand simple spreadsheets.
Here is a video to help improve your laning!

Short version with Riot posts
i had to stay up for work related reasons anyways
but yeah gsl was mad dissapoint, but jiji is keeping me satiated with asian dramas and league play
i should probably get an sc2 sig at some point, but i dunno
Just read this. I'm alternating between 'not surprised' and 'why the fuck would someone do this with a livestream running at the time'?

Haha, that is just precious. What an absolute piece of shit.
Sated not satiated.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
How so?
To sate is to satisfy a desire to completion.
The distinction is increasingly being lost
Ugh I should go to bed.
Wondering if I should get attack-speed runes for the new croc-hero (to boost his passive which in turn boosts his skills). Do many heroes use attack-speed (outside of jungling)?
(I have the standard armor-pen runes for my AD-heroes).
Kog'Maw uses them. AD Teemo's?
I blame Riot's training to be honest.
No, I'm pretty sure he is an employee with ban powers, they just don't want to own up to the fact that a cockbag like this has mod privileges. If he isn't an employee, they then have to answer the very uncomfortable question of why someone who is not a Riot employee has mod privileges.
Stay classy, Riot.
I saw the article, but it's funny that some Riot employees were trying to deny that he even works there.
It seems Riot can't go a month or two without some huge PR fuckup, maybe they need to...I dunno...operate their company like professionals or something.
pm me when we get back to bearcock
I just figured that the sentence isn't technically incorrect, he could have meant either. Though I suppose sated makes a lot more sense.
I can't wait to unlock Amumu, but I am starting to consider buying Soroka first.
is the patch delayed a day because it's a goddamn american holiday today
is riot taking off
who knows
They simply said he wasn't the one who enacted the ban. So if he got his buddy to do it, they're both in trouble.

I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
true
but banning a player just because you were raging out on them for them playing a little badly
is kinda bad pr
and you dont want bad admin pr
Definitely don't want bad PR and if it happened to me I'd take it to the forums too because I would be pissed.
Just throwing it out there that Riot can basically do what ever they want with the accounts

Yes, today is MLK day. New champions are usually released on Mondays, but it has happened on Tuesdays before.
I've always known patches to be released on Tuesdays.
New champions are released with the patches which are always on Tuesday unless there is some sort of major holiday that prevents PTR from having enough time to work stuff out. I doubt MLK day is a big enough holiday to warrant a delay in the patch release since it is only a day long Holiday

That is a dumb way to look at it though. People are not trying to make a legal case out of this, they are just saying that Riot are dickbags. The Riot people technically have the power to do what they want to our accounts but on the other hand bad PR for them means a smaller playerbase and less money rolling in.
I meant free champions. Not the new guy. Free champions are always released on Mondays.
What do?

Oh, alright then. Yea, I would agree with you then, champs will probably rotate tomorrow because of MLK day

hahahahahahahahahahaa Riot you are awesome
Fiddlesticks is a pretty terrible laner. Soon as he starts moving towards you, just move back to your tower. Oh, he feared then drained you? Walk out of the range of his drain. Does your champion have a stun, silence, or knock up? Wow, fiddlesticks is completely useless against you. Have fun farming on his dessicated corpse!
If they don't though fiddle owns the lane, and the CD becomes so short that you can always drain them when they come back.
Except not. I haven't seen a fiddlesticks go into a lane since level 15, and I have over 600 games played. That should tell you something. He's a one trick pony in lane (his drain) and all you have to do is move out of the range for it to be useless.
If he hangs out in front of the creep wave to try to deny you exp and gold, well that sounds like your jungler would love to have a chat with him. Don't have a jungler? You should.
