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.
This should be in the OP

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
THE MOTHER FUCKING CODE
The new code was posted about a page back. It's L R L R D D U U 3 4. It works.

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!

    Singed is so much fun, but his total inability to turn the tide of a game is infuriating. By the time you're capable of really Singed-ing, chances are the game is decided. Also, all ranged= one unhappy early Singed.

    On the the other hand, laning as LeBlanc against Veigar is the most satisfying thing. Oh, 2/3 of your health left? Watch me dash out of a bush and instantly Q/R you to death. BRILLIANT.

    So I sorta feel like doing something stupid and playing Leblanc soon. Seeing as I paid for her and immediately regretted the decision I thought I should get some mileage out of my lost monies. Anyone have any build advice in addition to "mejai's and hope you snowball"?

    Rylai's is your bff. Also health is overrated, you have a built-in flash every 10 seconds or so at max, use it. You're support endgame, you silence/slow while you and the carry burst the enemy carry to death.

    Btw, LeBlanc is going to be forever UP because she's based around 1v1, and 1v1 is what determines the community bitching and moaning. They'll never buff her to the point where she's truly balanced, because that means she'll reliably get kills and we can't have that can we?

    So, I'm loving Cass like I suspected I would. 380 AP first game, and 625 AP the second. Both defeats because we had a leaver Morde on the first one, and the second one EVERYONE locked in squishies, and I instantly regretted locking in at all and not queue dodging. They proceeded to not surrender after turtling for the last half of our 75 minute game. I've never been so tempted to leave. And of course they were all cocky Spanish speaking guys who trash talked the enemy team in English, and refused to speak in English to me even after I asked if they could, and they said yes.

    Ahem, sorry, SoloQQ woes.

    None the less, the main point of this is that I love Cass, and having her Twin Fang on as Smartcast instead of click-cast like normal is SOOO MUCH EASIER. I might see about changing a few skills to Smartcast from now on.

    And I'll probably buy her after this rotation.

    I never heard of Smartcast until the Cass Spotlight. Go into your keybindings menu in game, scroll down a little, and you'll see Smartcast Spell 1-4, and they are all [Shift]+[Q] through [R]. Basically, Smartcast casts said spell immediately where your cursor is if there's a valid target there. Like Karthus' Q, and Cass' Q. So, making Twin Fangs Smartcast on E, instead of normal cast, I can poison someone, and chase them while clicking E with my mouse hovering over them instead of freaking clicking E, and then selecting said champion. It removes a lot of mouse movement and complexity out of the equation, as well as lag time from click to click.

    How do you change a single skill to smartcast? Like I know there's the default shift+e or whatever, and that you can rebind that to just e, but is there a way to change it so like only Cass's E is on smartcast by default?

    edit: Nevermind, seems like you just rebound it, which would mean you would have to change it back when you play another character, or just always have E on smartcast.

    Btw, how do I build/skill-order/generally play Kennen? I tried him for the first time and had fun, but was woefully underpowered because I did recommended items and leveled my skills equally.

    Rylai's Scepter is a typical core Kennen item. Zhonya's can also be good. I guess something like Doran's Shield to start then Merc Treads (Sorc Shoes if they don't have much affected CC), Rylai's, Zhonya's would be good.

    I like to max W first and definitely have one point in both of the others, can go either way on whether you max Q or E secondary.

    In a solo lane trying to actually hit people with your E can be dangerous, depending on the situation, but it's great for getting in position to nail them with a Shuriken and/or some auto-attacks. Use W every time you can of course. Try to load up your W auto-attack passive on creeps then hit the enemy champ with it when it's up, so you can add an extra Mark.

    Always try to pop your passive stuns when you two marks if you can, obviously.

    He's not too terribly difficult, but the Q being a skill shot and the importance of positioning makes him moderately so.

    In teamfights you pretty much just wait for your tank to init, then follow him in, turn on your ultimate, E through everyone, W, kite people around, etc. Kennen is kind of suicidal by nature so your goal is just to get off as much damage as you can in a short burst and Flash out if you can. He does wicked AoE damage though.

    Start with a Dorans Sheild, rush a Rylais and pick up boots 1 along the way, then Merc Treds, then either Zhonyas or Abyssal Scepter depending on how the game is going.

    For masteries I like Tracer's 9/21/0, with the AP stuff in offense.

    You can start by maxing either Q or W. I haven't personally tried maxing W first but I've heard it works. Q does a ton of damage early game, and W is great for general harassment, especially if you have the pleasure of being the 1 in a 2v1 lane.

    In teamfights, wait for the fight to start, run in, ult, stun everyone, win fight. Repeat until game is won.

    she's pretty fun, but I felt underpowered. the only reason I was successful is because my team was Cass/Twitch/Alistair/Shen/Poppy. I dunno if that's actually good, but when Alistair and Poppy weren't bashing my would-be assailants every which direction, Shen was periodically taunting and ulting to save my ass
