Oh, just so people know, there's a Penny Arcade channel on the EU servers, too. Add it as the OP states, it's just the same as for the US servers.
The only people ever in it are Italax and I.
oh shit! I didn't know that! I shall join on the morro' when the EU servers are back up (I'm expecting it to be tomorrow evening tbh, best online technical. You know how they roll.)
Btw, updating my US client. If any lowbie's want a game, hit me up. Varethius is my summoner name, last time I checked

I thought the EU contingent of LoL players from PA was so small that we didn't need a channel.
Big thanks to the guys I played a couple games with a bit ago (not sure about forum names). Was nice to get some pointers, even if it meant being told I'm not good enough to play Ploppy
Felt like I learned a lot though, so not too bad for a first day with the game.
I'm relatively new to LoL, but I've really been enjoying it. I was at PDXLAN.net last weekend and I knew I'd have the opportunity to play a ton, push to level 20. So I used Riot points for 3 day XP and IP boosts. Then come Sunday, LoL has been unplayable. I paid for 3 day passes and got 1 day of playing

I think they disable the xp/ip boosts as soon as they can whenever these server issues pop up.

Hey Summoners,
We are aware of the server status issue on the launcher. We have notified the appropriate teams and are taking immediate action to resolve this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Echo made the last thread and was getting spammed every time someone posted with the new forums, so he had someone else make it so they get spammed instead.

They're so good at online technical that Phreak is echoing on the livestream.
Wait...I don't understand why the old thread was locked. Did we do something wrong again?
I'm pretty sure thread creators get notifications each time there's a post in one of their threads and Echo was getting tired of getting them.
LoL question: I've been having fun jungling as WW, but in most cases I've noticed I fall a couple levels behind most of my teammates. Is that normal at lower summoner levels since I'll have fewer mastery points and runes to speed up jungling?

jungling can be a pain in the ass without them, so that could be a factor at least yeah
we had blitz, ap gragas (me), ad malphite, jungle cho, and corki
they had yorick, sona, fiddles, xin, jungle shaco
it was a total slaughter in our favor and I'm not sure how because that doesnt make sense in my head

You should be in line with solos for like, a minute. You usually progress at the rate of a duo laner after that unless you are rolling in successful ganks
Tried Anivia this morning. Wow. What a hero. Messed up constantly and still felt as though I was one of the most dominant forces on the map.
Power nuke, stuns, obsticles, an Ice Lance of Death, and one of the best farming ults in the game. Her passive synergizes so well with her abilities too. She's such an aggressively focused character, and her egg is like the biggest get out of jail free card for aggressive play. Flash into five heroes -> ult -> wall -> snow ball -> ice lance -> Die. Team comes in and things get crazy, resurrect and do it all over again!
that doesn't work like 99% of the time you will simply die again before your team gets there. the egg is ridiculously good at getting lv1-2 first bloods by minions killing them and trolling teams that have spent all their resources and half of them are dead/low health.

Just a note; someone did the math and it's pointless to buy IP-boosts for the purpose of buying 6300 champions with IP (faster and cheaper to just buy them directly with RP). But you should be saving up for Tier 3 runes anyway (skip tier 2, get tier ones meanwhile).
I play on EU, but I´m in sweden which means EU-west and I suspect most from EU on here ended up on EU-east platform.(Live Riot stream has Treeskimo and some other dude commenting, people should watch it in other words).

I wouldn't say that exactly. Well, yeah I guess. Poppy is kind of a special case; she's a very niche role as an anticarry assassin. Probably one of the worst chars to start out learning if you're still figuring out how to last hit. I find Ranged AD are the easiest to learn on, then mages like Annie. This list sorted by difficulty is a good primer. Except for Rumble being an 80, he's actually a 10.
Still I had a fun time and you seemed like you improved a lot. It was fun times on the second game with those Ashe arrows you were chucking. Most of them resulted in a kill or a save.
Huh. I'd say not bad for my first pvp match. Honestly not sure what I was worried about. Of course, now I'm going to be absolutely reamed in my next match.

Oh yes, definitely. I didn't really give good context. My team had picked poorly before the match even started because pretty much everyone wanted to try out the new heroes. But no one picked a tank or initiator like Mord, or Amumu. So basically, we had a team of mostly really squishy heroes running around the map. In this particular instance my team was lurking in a bush not too far away from the dragon when we went to engage them. Since I had egg and some decent HP I went in first, which led to the scenario I described. I am not advocating playing as a rambo Anivia and just suiciding the other team, praying that my own team will back me up. This was just one particular instance where I really loved having the egg passive.
But I do think that having the egg in the back pocket allows you to play a little more aggressively than you normal would on most other heroes.
Did my first PvP match and I honestly can't believe how stupid people can be...
Hey, this Morgana is holding her solo lane just fine, but we're duoing a lane and failing. Let's just both go to her lane... Nothing bad could come from that...
Match ends, and who talks trash about how bad the other people on his team are? The Rhyze who went 0/24/0, even managed to only kill 23 creeps and no buildings...
I had an 18 minute wait, which timed out, so now it's 22 minutes.
Loving it.

First game as Rumble. 18/5. He's pretty good, even after all the nerfs. The only two AP items I built were Rylais and Abyssal Scepter. He's just a total monster.

I actually did get in earlier after a 10 minute queue, but didn't dare to try and start a game. Just logged back on for a hopefully quick game; 25 minute queue now.
I just had a 5 min que to get into a game. Thinking it was a mistake, I restarted the client and now the estimated wait is over 2 minutes =/ Something is wrong.
Yeah, just tried queueing for a 3v3, it got us a game, summoners leaving all over the place. Then we back out of the queue. Then about a minute later, it pops up with the champ select screen. Only we can't pick champs.
Yeah, game is fubar :P

I just sit in there, alone.
Vent is a much better option for finding EU games anyway, since we're pretty much always in there.

Glad its not just me, tbh. Though. I was looking forward to some LoL with you US folks.

E: 7 minutes. Nothing compared to EU waiting times, huzzah!
Which is fun when you run HDMI to your TV and have giant HD games.

It's always funny to see what people build at low levels. And then I remember I did the same shit.
