Send me a PM (most likely to get seen) or post your name to get added to the list.

Here's the newest champion, coming soon, Viktor, The Machine Herald:

He seems to be a heavy utility based Mage character, capable of shielding himself with the health of his enemies, he also possesses an AoE stun, a death laser, and a pet black hole. He also starts with a unique item called The Hex Core in one of his item slots, which cannot be sold, but it can be upgraded at the shop (for free) and will provide bonus stats and enhance one of his basic abilities.

Because all we know about him had to be teased out of the in-game files, here's a really choppy video of what his skills look like!

The latest champion to actually see release is Ahri, The Nine-Tailed Fox. She's based on the Korean mythical creature, and was released at the same time world-wide to celebrate the grand opening of the new Korean Servers:

She's a very mobile Assassin Mage character, who can quickly move in and out of fights, picking off key enemies and able to deal a lot of AoE damage during a teamfight. She relies on her 3 dash ult to position herself to maximize her damage and chase fleeing enemies. Additionally, Ahri can charm a member of the opposing team, forcing them to slowly walk towards her while helpless for a few seconds.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlalkAUkwqE&feature=player_embedded

She's pretty fun! When you get the chance, try her out. Now all she needs is a God Tier/Witch of Space skin and everything would be perfect.

And here's some more random crap!

Feel free to talk about any other games in the genre, doesn't have to just be League of Legends!

Do you play HoN, RoI? Want to talk about the original DotA or are you in the DotA2 beta? Think Blizzard's take on the genre looks interesting? Talk about it!

Demigod was pretty fun, if a little rough around the edges. It just got launched on Steam, and it's 33% off for Christmas.


Thanks to Unintentional for the player list and TheLawinator for parts of the OP.

Cymril

Something you guys might find useful, just started using it and I already don't want to switch back to the old damage numbers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-luBvXQXMKo&feature=player_embedded

What it looks like is right at the start, the rest of it is how to do it.

Campion

I've done some LoL drawings


My favo mage


Someone asked for Teemo as Garen.

Cymril

Holy crap, those are awesome!

Big Red Tie

cool, dude has dragon nest installed
i should play that again sometime

facetious

That Rammus video is amazing.

facetious

And Campion it wasn't me who asked for Teemo as Garen, you just got it mixed up because whoever it was who asked asked right in the midst of my babbling admiration for the Singed comic.

(I still love it SO MUCH. All those pictures, really. But especiecally Singemic.)

Nirya

I long for the days when Xin Zhao was an overpowered piece of shit for like 2 weeks before Riot realized what it had released.

Campion

Augh, Ahri is so cool on Dominion. All she does is kite and that is exactly what you need to do in Dominion.

Flay

So today I learned never to take try to take on Cho'Gath as Malphite.

Naphtali

Those are great Campion

Druhim

Hahaha love those comics Camp.

Nerdgasmic

love that teemo

Zen Vulgarity

Brackets

A sin

Zen Vulgarity

For gary

unintentional

that is some good fanart
remember when they found that fanartist who did the one of cho having tea with sona and then they hired her and she's one of the artists now

Zen Vulgarity

Zen Vulgarity

Someone did this as a concept art for a Dreadknight Tryndamere



I'd buy it

Jars

they are making a change to mistletoe leblanc





while not true I wish I played her enough to get that excellent skin. I should try her on dominion I still haven't for some reason. I blame kassadin for owning so much

Jars

I thought that was the lady that redid lux's armor to be not dumb

unintentional

this is the thing i am thinking of, it's possible i have the details wrong

I thought it was the same person that did both

Jars

the lux and tea party stuff is on her blog so everyone is right

Druhim

Le Blanc is damn tough to solo against as Fizz. Fortunately I had a good team and she was the only good one on their team, so they surrendered right at 20:00

yeah leblanc is basically like the trump card for laning phase
she has a really weird power curve...most characters get better as the game goes on, but she doesn't, since all of her damage is single target and she can already instantly kill someone early game. so relative to everyone else she starts off ridiculously strong and then ends up doing very little (unless she got absolutely ridiculously fed, which has been known to happen)

Jars

you should be able to buy a null mantle and cockblock her ult with your vault to victory

Good point! She was the only one doing at all well on their team, so even if they hadn't surrendered we probably would have steamrolled them.

yeah the pole dodging things that are already in transit is really fucking stupid and is the best advantage fizz has in that matchup

Big Red Tie

the problem is that even with playful trickster she can still push you out (in mid)

she is under no obligation to try to kill you, she can just run at you to be threatening while last hitting

fizz has to pay full attention the entire time and can't fuck up at all or he dies

Isoldae

Is this game currently down?

and I'm guessing she's responsible for all the good character portraits they've been putting out since.

BahamutZERO

hey they updated the login queue. Now it can count all the way up to 20,000! As in there's over 20,000 people in the queue ahead of me.

Isoldae

I am one of those 20,000.

Cymril

Rammus just got a Champion Spotlight! What could it mean!?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeU2b9s-ZVw

Whyther

They've been going back to make sure all the old champions have spotlights.

Big Red Tie

oh cool i got a dota 2 invite but no email
i wonder when i got it

anyway the graphics are so nice and the UI soooo uglyyyy

SLyM

Gimme.

Cymril

Oh, I know, but Phreak has said recently that they want to focus on champions as they get changes, like Gangplank got his because they re-did his model and animations.

Shabooty

man I like dota 2's ui

Big Red Tie

everything's stretched (might be because of my monitor, but my icons look like shit esp. the inventory), there's a ton of UI taking up screen space for no reason, the tooltips aren't structured well to immediately show useful information, the shop has like 2 inches of space to show you upgrade paths etc. also the keybinding options are pretty bad (no ~ bind, hero focus requires double tap and is slow)
i mean i know it's a beta but i really hope they work on it

also i don't even know how i got into the beta, i didn't get an email and my brother supposedly didn't get one either, not sure if i even have invites to give out

Druhim

You're actually playing the knockoff russian beta and everything you do is being keylogged by it and then they hax ur computor.
