[League of Legends] Where the only acceptable skins are coprorate skins

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!

    I'd like to point out one major error in your article, PsyonicHero is not a Riot Games employee. We're looking into how the ban occurred, but it was not PsyonicHero who executed it.

    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).

    The best part is that Riot is trying to say that guy isn't an employee and they're trying to find out how the ban happened.

    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.

    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.

    I just figured that the sentence isn't technically incorrect, he could have meant either. Though I suppose sated makes a lot more sense.

    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.

    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.

Kinda the same thing with Vlad, I've just been D'ing up against them and tower hugging, but been tower dived like whoa by them pretty early. I don't think I had fed them yet, but by level 6'ish I start to a bit. Should be lane swapping with other champs?

    veigar is the anti fiddlesticks, your stun outranges everything of his, and after level 6 a stun + your full burst should pretty much insta kill him

    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.

    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.
