I made a spreadsheet so that everyone who wants to sign up for an in-house tournament can do so. Once we have a general idea of how many are going to participate, we can start making teams, brackets, and all that.
Sign ups are here
We're just looking to see how many people we could get for a tourney. We're also quite unsure of how it will play out. We've been kicking around ideas like, "Everyone play for a week, compile stats, and get points based on kills/wins/etc". So, if you have ideas, post 'em!
Here's your standard, wiki-stolen background:
Two main designers for the popular Warcraft III custom map, Defense of the Ancients: Allstars (commonly abbreviated as DotA), Steve "Guinsoo" Feak and Steve “Pendragon” Mescon are involved with Riot Games in the making of League Of Legends: Clash of Fates[6]. Guinsoo created DotA: Allstars from the original DotA, created by Eul, by adding his own mix of content, including over 40 heroes, numerous items, and various gameplay changes. Guinsoo then passed DotA: Allstars on to its current developer, Icefrog. Pendragon, who is the Director of Community Relations for Riot Games, helped create the DotA: Allstars website along with its forums, and is still currently working on League of Legends: Clash of Fates.
SIGN UP HERE: LoL Sign Up!Peeps usually be hanging out in the PA vent, hit it up for some games. HANG OUT IN VENT TO GET GAMES!!! It's the easiest way to get going with us, just show up and ask if anyone is looking.
If you can't find any there check out the LoL vent (
https://beta.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=6) and you can probably scrounge up a pre-made.
If anyone can find a copy of D Damage - Ink 808 (Ink You Lay Remix By Krazy Baldhead) let me know so I can link it here. It totally sounds like part of the refrain is "moba doba" from witch the title comes from.
Until then, here a couple of the most kick ass tracks in existance to listen to while you are playing...

Check it out, it's fun to play with while you're at work and can't be at home playing. It's made by community members; so, expect it to change a bit behind any patches.
There is now a tutorial that new players can check out.
If you're just starting and wondering who to play (I believe you play her in the tutorial as well), Ashe is generally a good starting character:

A few things to know about the LoL crew...
BigWah has an adorable child that he may or may not have had considerable disagreements with in the past:
Puppy cam is always a good way to kill the time while waiting for a game:

OMG! They've gotten so BIG!
Zen Vulgarity is terrible.
Nisi is terrible.
Mitchell types a lot in the thread; but, we question his existence in the game.

fuck.
also, you forgot to put Dr. Glock for gangplank
this made me laugh a little more than it should've
if you have not read a guide by condon
you should
right now
Fuck teams that I have to carry as Ashe lol. I went 20 and 4 and my team fell apart around me since they were having me run this way and that way to gank. So rage inducing when we lost.
Also, I'm playing on Uncle Lothar
Streaming 8PST on weeknights
programjunkie: Wicked Demiurge
- oh.. no didn't...
She can do that quite easily though, so it's cool.
quote from a dude in there "looks like the nerf fairy has to pay trist a little visit" not realizing that I was kiiind of fed, once I had infinity edge I was pretty ridonkulous.
While we're on the subject of ignoring mooman's non-bolded words, I'm Alvarian in game if you want to add me to the list.
I am also glad to see Dr. Glock added to the list.
WAY TO GO.
..I love Jax and can't wait for the buffz!
could this be in the OP
Also, Time Bandit.
I'm starting to get the hang of poppy i think
poppy theme song
And here is tristana's
:whistle:
Took us over an hour to lose, despite the fact me and Ashe were the only DPS.
We should've won too..but I was dead, they took out the inhibitor first with only the enemy Morgana defending the Nexus Turret (towers were down), and tried to retreat as Tryn back doored.
Also for nicknames, Malphite = Malshite seems like an obvious one. Or Turdcharger.
As your first lesson, stop learning Evelyn.
I don't think it's possible to lime that hard enough
Any specific reason? It's giving me a lot of practice with lane control, scouting, shadowing, and diversionary tactics. Plus making most players waste 400g a life seems useful.
When you're playing with a bunch of other new people, Eve seems pretty boss. Like Yi, she's a great pubstomper against people who don't know what they're doing.
Against a team with even a modicum of organization she's close to useless because:
-The only people who get Oracle Elixers are tanks, and a decent tank is very, very difficult to kill.
-They actually use sight wards, making you still more useless for scouting.
-She is incredibly easy to kill. If Eve is in any fight where there is more than one enemy, she goes down within half a second.
-She requires a lot of kills to gain enough power to be a real threat. Conversely, if an Eve is doing well but gets killed once or twice, she generally loses her momentum and sucks for the rest of the match. And because Eve is so killable, if you're too weak (which you generally are) anyone you try to assasinate can just turn around and kill you back.
-Her abilities are all pretty terrible. Her stun is laughably short and ineffective for actually doing damage.
-She brings nothing to team fights. She can't stun, can't sneak up on people, and is absolutely wrecked by AOEs. An Eve basically guarantees that any full-team fight will always be a 4v5.
In short, she's only good against people who have no idea what they're doing and/or no teamwork/coordination. You're better off learning Shaco if you want a similar playstyle -- he brings MUCH more to his team.
I also love Blitz and Gangplank, but haven't played them since the Beta (and I just started playing again) anyone have any tips?
