My god there isn't a thread yet? I know Anski plays now and again, does anyone else play this fantastic game? (http://www.leagueoflegends.com/)
They just announced that in the future you'll be able to group with other people and game against 5 bots with improved AI. Should be far more productive than Custom matches for learning a character or for farming IP.
Looking forward to it.

Yeah, but the chatroom has other uses. You don't have to have another program in order to see members of the RMRK group. Plus, you can invite people that are in the same chatroom(s) as you. :P Idk. The clan I'm in still uses a chatroom even though we have a TeamSpeak that even has a LFG channel for LoL. It's no big deal having the chatroom so might as well - though I'm definitely in favour of a TS channel.
And yeah, LoL is pretty strict on leavers and whatnot recently. I mean, some small stuff like that is understandable, but if you keep doing it, you'll get punished for it no matter what. You should be able to know what you're going to be doing and plan ahead, making sure you have a decent amount of time to play a game. And if you disconnect a lot, then you shouldn't play if you know your internet is bad. Just wait until the Tribunal is up and running. :P Trolls gonna lurk it mebbe.
Oh, and to reply to the original post, after a certain level, you stop gaining IP and/or EXP from custom games after about five a day or something like that. Just throwing it out there.

Same, it's just annoying, especially when it passes in situations like: we were 2 turrets down in mid, and one on either side and the surrender passed 4v1.
Denying in DotA 2 is starting to look a lot less annoying by comparison to all of these quitters.

But he murdered everything and had pretty much top of the line shit for everything. I didn't see him until half way through the game and from then on, he was "godlike" or whatever.

Avoid playing 3x3. I hate that crap. >_> If you're going to do it, never solo queue. You want people you can communicate with via TS or Skype or whatnot. Either that or you have to make sure all of your teammates are perfectly map aware, and that's pretty much impossible at lower levels. 90% of levels 30s are not that map aware, either. Ganks happen way too quickly in that map. :P

http://image.bayimg.com/badljaadh.jpg Ahaha first game playing with Grafikal and Redyugi. It's so fun stomping low levels by bringing in lower levels into your team. 8D
OH, I remembered what I was going to say that I thought while the screen was loading for this game: All you lower level people, do NOT get Heal or Revive. They're pretty terrible. Revive is very situational but is still pretty terrible. 10 minute cooldown is not worth it. As for heal, it's just not worth it. If you really need to heal, get an HP potion. You'll heal enough/the same/more (?) if you use a potion, and you'll have space for another summoner spell.
Spoiler for Quick Summoner Spell Evaluation:
I highly recommend Ghost for those that need to run away or chase down people often.
I highly recommend Exhaust for sooo many reasons. You can reduce so much damage. If you think about it, the damage you reduce with Exhaust is almost certain to be more than you heal with Heal. Of course, if they just run, they end up doing no damage.
Teleport is also really great. You become very mobile, and if you tend to die a lot early game, you can teleport back often and reduce the walking time.
Cleanse is good for squishy carries to escape quick.
Fortify is great but mostly for supports and jungle-supports.
Smite is for junglers only, really. Don't get it until you're a high summoner level because you won't have the right masteries/runes to jungle properly.
Clarity is great especially when you lane with someone who uses mana (duh). It's much more viable than heal is and can be considered! However, if you can get Mana Regen per Level seals, it's much better and you free up that summoner spell space.
Ignite is good, but it's pretty limited if not in Draft Mode because you don't know if someone on the other team has a healing ability or not. It's still pretty good.
Rally is pretty good, but I've never used it. But it's hard to use properly. VERY hard.
Flash is awesome. It's one of the most used summoner spells and for a good reason. Not as good as it used to be, but it's great for escaping, initiating, etc. ("etc." as in not much more, but still! lol).
Oh, and Redyugi, Grafikal, and I have made use of the RMRK chatroom anyways. :3

There's a few free champs every week and they rotate out, Warwick won't be available next week unless you purchase him. Also don't buy Tier 1 or 2 runes, wait until level 20 to buy runes, the Tier 1 and 2 aren't worth the IP they cost. Spend IP on characters that you like instead, or just stockpile it.
It's going to cost me 19,065 IP to get a full Tier 3 rune set page, I'm wishing I'd saved more.

Reading your post, it seems like a tower was probably being pushed or something. You should have simply let the tower fall and ran away. If it was a point where there were three of them and your team wasn't coming (or would be too late), it's best to let the tower fall instead of dying along with that. Sometimes it's better to do counter-intuitive things like running into the enemy tower if it means your team's carry or two teammates are able to survive or to let the tower just fall instead of trying to protect it.
Of course, if this wasn't the case, meh.
However, I've heard people say Tier 1 runes are worth the VERY cheap IP (but not Tier 2) they cost and can serve you well at below-level 20's and fill in space once you reach level 20 while you're still in the process of getting your Tier 2 runes. Personally, I didn't do this, but it's a viable option. If you're willing to hold out, though, you'll actually see that you can buy maybe one or two Tier 3 runes with the IP spent on a full page of Tier 1 runes. If you're into it, I'd recommend Tier 1 runes, but it's perfectly fine to not get them.
Spoiler for Tier 3 Runes to get:
If you feel like reading this, it's a VERY strong recommendation for what tier 3 runes you should at least start out with.
Flat Health Quints are pretty dang nice. They work for casters, tanks, and AD carries; 100 extra health to start with is simply amazing. For marks, you're going to want magic/armor penetration. You'll pretty much use them for everyone but tanks (but even some tanks use them). For seals, Mana Regen per Level are amazing. If you ever find yourself running out of mana often but don't want to get mana carries (such as Manamune; this occurs often with many AD carries), this is the answer to your prayers :P For glyphs, CDR (flat or per level) are pretty nice as well as magic resist (flat or per level).
Title: Re: League of Legends
Post by: tSwitch on January 23, 2011, 08:57:09 PM

Title: Re: League of Legends
Post by: Kokowam on January 23, 2011, 09:34:48 PM
Yeah, but if you get the mana regen runes, you have space for one more item. This seems obvious, but rather than Manamune, you can get a better DPS item. I mean, if you don't have the runes yet, Manamune is a perfectly fine item (as well is mana management). The only person I can see using Manamune as a staple is really AD Ezreal.

I find it really depends on playstyle in all honesty, no number of mp5 runes are going to give you the volley-spam that one manamune gives. There's flexibility with all of these choices after all.

No, you're not allowed to play games with uneven teams ever. It's not a bug.
And @ the Manamune thing: I'll end this debate here just saying that it could be a playstyle thing, but the use of Manamune on a majority of the champions is less than optimal; there's a reason why the top elo players rarely get Manamune.
Title: Re: League of Legends
Post by: Redwyn on January 24, 2011, 06:07:13 AM
I did not claim it as a bug. I just think it really shitty to get penalized like that for beating a team with more players than you. Even if they are A.I., getting penalized 100% is a little bit much.
I understand that they don't want people farming A.I. matches to get levels, it's just something I personally dislike.

Post by: Kokowam on January 24, 2011, 05:42:06 PM
@Redwyn: You should play normal games, anyways. It's a lot harder to improve if you're only playing custom games; they should be reserved mainly for just playing a champion for the first time or testing out a jungle path. Plus normal games will never set you up with an uneven team to begin with.
And having less bots or more bots on the other team is still an advantage for you. Either you're able to farm freely or you're able to get massive amounts of kills and speed up the game. If it's with players, you probably won't win a 4v5, but even if you do, you should still realize it's not just you playing but the other team had an immense advantage to begin with which should be discouraged in the first place.
@NAMKCOR: k then. Ashe is a part of that majority, though. But feel free to do w/e while you still don't have all your runes and stuff

When you start out/have little IP, I recommend playing free champions and buying them as the week's rotation ends to make sure you don't spend your IP on a champion that you find out that you don't like. Sure, it might get kind of boring playing the same person over and over and over and over again, but you'll eventually want to go back to him/her especially if you know do well with that champ.
I also recommended this to grafikal/redyugi: read through the champion's skills on the LoL site or at mobafire to see what each champ does. Then you can see what kind of champion you want to buy. If not, you at least learn a little about the other champions' skills to help you in the future.
