    right but I remember their was a discussion about the perfect method to getting the most heroes for the least amount of money

    how do I do that

    I am too lazy to look it up

    I think I saw retail boxes on ebay for like ten bucks. Wouldn't that be even better than what was said before?

    probably

    I've played 4 games today, each time playing a guy for the first time:

    Cho'gath: 7-4-4, DEFEAT
    Taric: 9-2-8, DEFEAT
    Udyr: 1-0-2, DEFEAT
    Rammus: 9-2-8, DEFEAT

    I'm starting to get a little tired of this shit. I know I'm contributing more than my fair share in these matches, so why the fuck am I getting so unlucky with teammates?

    you could still be on newbie island, which is when your summoner level is below 12 -- you aren't included in the regular matchmaking pool, but on your own with all of the people below 12

    also bad games happen

    all last night i had a feeder on my team and couldn't do anything to win the games, which sucks, but in those times, practice something else

    like last hitting

    can never be good enough at last hitting

    My win/lose ratio was like... .5 for the longest time. I just had the shittiest teammates. Now that I'm 30 it's 1.2 or something, and quickly rising. What's your level?

    ARGH. I'm level 11. I couldn't figure out why it didn't seem like my team-mates were getting any better as I went up in level! I thought I was with all level 10-12s or so. That explains why every game I have an Ashe or Tristana go 1-10.
    -Edit- Are you sure newbie island isn't 1-10? I just hit 11 and this next match every opponent is a non-free champ...

    That still doesn't really make sense though. I mean, if you're newbie island playing with newbies, your opposition should also be on newbie island and not yet be experienced enough for this to happen... I refuse to believe you're constantly paired against smurfs, unless you somehow pissed off the Random Number God.

    Nothing's preventing you from buying heroes at low level. Starts at 450 IP to buy and you get 200-350? from your first win of the day. Then there is also cashmoney. It's not a good indicator of skill level. Skins doubly so, although at high levels you want to be wary because a skin can mean they play that hero often and are runed specifically to rape with them.

    Q: I am trying to login but the server status is "Busy"

    A: This will happen often during busy hours. However, the servers may still be accessible. With the launcher window in focus, press the arrow keys 'up' 'down' 'left' 'right' 'up' 'up' 'down' 'down' to bypass the launcher and go to the password window.

    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!

    okay so i've been wondering

    i've had bouts of this really dumb type of lag since beta, so it's been on a couple of different computers

    my character will stand in place, auto attack anything near, but ignore any buttons i press and clicks i make

    but! i still see everything go on around me as per usual

    anyone else have this happen to them?

    i mean it could be my net connection

    i dunno

    fuck i think i just need to redo my network sometime

    the only time that this has happened to me was when i started it up through steam and used the overlay to chat with people, and taking away the overlay wouldn't give me control... but i remember when you had this problem before and between games you started it up without steam but in windowed mode, so that can't be it

    i am sorry for this unhelpful post

    The "can't control your character" thing happens to me somewhat often (1/15 games maybe?) and usually an alt+tab fixes it. Sometimes not. I had the problem more often when I was using the steam overlay though, so I stopped that a long time ago.

    yeah i got it all the time with steam, so i stopped that

    still get it every 10 or 15 matches, sometimes lasting a minute or so, usually lasting around 25 seconds

    i've been playing windowed mode, and alt+tab hasn't been doing much

    might have to try playing fullscreen and see if that does the trick

    Just had an amazing game where I pretty much won a game with Clairvoyance. They had us backed up in the middle, our inhibitor had just respawned. Couple minutes ago we had people spamming /surrender, and losing it 3/2. Entire team is MIA after a fight we had where we lost some, they have respawned so I hit a Clairvoyance on Baron, boom, whole team just about to go into the fight. We ping and the team goes to meet them.

    Shen is sitting in a small bush waiting for us, we ignore him because the Nunu comes up. He hits his ult, I'm Janna so I ult him out of the range of the team, and he gets interrupted by our chogoth. Long story short we pick off every one of them except Shen, he limps back to the base and we proceed to kill Baron, and just stomp up the middle lane, not even bothering with the side towers/inhibitors. It was awesome, and their Shaco was whining at the end calling his team an idiot for doing Baron then (which it was dumb, we had 5 up, but without Clairvoyance nobody would have seen it, we had no wards on anything (yay solo queue).

    TL;DR - Map awareness wins games people. As if I need to tell you all that.

    I don't think you get vamp from hitting buildings. I could be wrong. The shield is certainly useful, though. I usually swap turtle/phoenix on a tower.

    You can make a practice game and test it if you don't believe me. I think it has to do with the actual implementation of the skill, it doesn't seem to work like a normal lifesteal.

    Lifesteal in general does not work on buildings, Turtle stance however still will return hp/mana while attacking a building.

    Man I just played my favorite kind of game

    we're losing in head-to-head battles. Cho'Gath has become this unstoppable monster with nearly 5k HP. It takes three heroes to kill him, and he can down at least one in the process. He forms a gank team with Morgana and goes to town. We're losing pretty badly.

    This is when you switch to meta game. We start pushing lanes and watching for Cho. You see Cho? You move. Soon, Cho can't keep up and the enemy's towers are dwindling fast. We hit towers until Cho shows up, we run to the next. Eventually we can kill him, but it's only purpose is to have breathing room to push again.

    Shining moment of glory: when I destroyed an Inhibitor with Cho'Gath chasing me. I'd switch directions, hit the Inhibitor, switch again. It's like running around a table, and I felt like a genius (and an asshole).
