Nice. I'm going to register & play when I get back home.

Anything I should read/see meanwhile to get me started? I'm pretty good at HoN but after reading the posts in this thread it seems to be very different?

i haven't played HoN but from reading what others said HoN is a better graphical version of original DotA. LoL is mostly the same but with more feature such as teleporting back to town and 2 spells you can pick aside from your 4 that come with the heroes. it's the same but with more for short i guess .

Take it from someone that actually played HoN & LoL The main difference is the fact you choose 2 "perks/power ups" with your hero. Some of those perks include Ghost walking,Heal,etc.Also both team can play same heroes by default.You get 5-6 spells instead of 4.And um yeah

[LaloHao]

You have 6 'spells', 4 Abilities(Your champion's, which ofc every champ has different ones), and your summoner spells, these are from your account, you can choose 2.
New user guide here.

Champions in the current weekly rotation are:
Anivia->Mage
Annie->Mage
Cho'gath->Tank
Heimerdinger->Support
MasterYi->Melee DPS
NuNu->Tank
Shaco->Melee DPS
Tristana->Ranged DPS
Twisted Fate->Ranged DPS
Udyr->Melee DPS
You can see info about the campions here

[Miguez]

I've just played my first game, it seems fun and the game doesn't seem to make my laptop overheat which is great. But it's really confusing, it's like learning HoN all over again. I played Twisted Fate got like three kills, but I'm clueless on what items to get. Starting to get a hang of it though.

Another thing, what should I get from the store? Runes or save for Champions?

[Miguez]

I just played a Shaco game, went 4-3, not bad for me I guess. now after reading your post baro I will try to play shaco again tomorrow, I was totally clueless this time,but following your strategy seems a good solution.

That's what they said. Hopefully it comes with a nerf bat for current op shit.

What do you consider OP? Seems every champ can own as long as it's player it's good

Right now, twitch, yi, and ryse. Twitch is ridiculous in team fights if he's not retarded, yi's ult is kinda dumb, and ryse wrecks teams with 1 min cd on his ult + passive. Only good part is twitch's are often retarded, yi's like to ult and charge a dying person through 4 other people, and ryse is free so all the tards are trying him.

[Love]

ryze is not op lol and his ult is more like 20 secs =p

[SM-Count]

ryze is not op lol and his ult is more like 20 secs =p

Ryze is basically annie but faster insta gibs but less range and lane control, just the ult is dumb, everything else is fine. You shouldn't get a free spell that takes your lane opponents from 100 to like 60% with two spells and then do it again as soon as they return to lane from a fountain trip without trying to kill them, that's his 'harass'... Other bullshit ultis at least have cd or a hard counter (kat comes to mind), ryze just freely spams his spells whenever you get in range, or maybe not if ult is up, gaining mana for overload, and reducing cooldown on his ult to rape you when you stand next to your ranged creeps.

Think nerfing ult but increasing his cast range or base ms or something would make him more useful and not just: 2v3? ok, lemme just ult cause it's always up and take you guys down to 30% health. Who needs to escape ganks when I can just kill all of you. Granted his lack of escape mechanism doesn't make him 'op' in the traditional sense cause you can kill him pretty easily (albeit you'll need multiple people and you will sustain a lot of damage).

ryze? he isn't very op at all i mean his ult does do alot of damage but hes incredibly squishy usually the only way he is able to get away from a character with a slow or stun is cleanse and flash because he is also very slow.

yi is not op its all about how much he is able to farm early and mid game,all you need is a ranged to harras yi enough while laning against him and he won't obtain creep kills

[LaloHao]

They were supposed to get nerfed on this patch, but i didn't see any info regardint that

[Love]

regarding ryze, is call staying out of range and hmm yi, I havent played him since the last nerf but he is on the op side.

[HughGRection]

yi's ult got nerfed

my epic twitch build, don't share outside srf:

Haven't played Shaco in ages so I decided to play two games as my favorite clown to end the night. First game I was AP Shaco, I did alright but couldn't push for the life of me. I also messed up my skill build since I'm so used to building AD that "alt+Q" comes so natural. Neutering my early game gankage; suffice it to say, we lost after a good 50 minutes of small back & forths resulting in them acing us. Second game, make no mistake, I was going full AD. The last game was unacceptable, so I had to bust my nuts to win:

Spoiler!

If you want to have a good time just chilling, relaxing, and baiting people into lulzy deaths play AP Shaco. If you want to win at all cost, play AD Shaco. After that game I think I'm going to take another break from Shaco, I wish I frapsed it. Not unusual to carry as Shaco but that game was on another level. Had to do a 1v5 towards the end by juking and 2-3 shotting them (1k backstab crits ftw?).

Needs more deepz imo. Twitch gets like 160% asp from his ult+stealth. Used to be 200% but they nerfed the rat. Instead of 1 recurve bow building into a 40% asp item to hit asp cap you need two recurve items, a recurve + pd, or a 40% asp bow upgrade + level 3 ult & level 5 ambush:

Bloodrazor
GA/Banshee's veil
Boots
IE
Black Cleaver
EC
Bloodthirster

That's pretty much 5 man instagib 1000m away from the enemy. In a lane that's devastating. If you get fed that much replace boots with GA.

[Love]

Wow dude you play way more than myself. I was under the impression you were a casual LoL player, guess I was wrong .

that was a gg but that is what it looks like for me 95%+ of the time when I play twitch ( other team can have twitch all they want, still going to get steamrolled ), is gotten to the point where I get myself kill on purpose ( I can pull ridiculous facerolls like these on most iconic dps, just how it is ).

[Barotix]

I'm like that with Shaco but I enjoy the games where I have a really hard time. It's why I started playing him AP & doing retarded builds, it's the only way to have fun on him.

3 new champions incoming:

Spoiler!

Gragas, The Caskmaster
Body Slam : Gragas charges forward and collides with the first enemy unit he comes across, dealing damage to all enemies near the collision.
Drunken Rage : Gragas guzzles brew from his cask, restoring mana over a short period of time. After he finishes drinking, he becomes drunkenly enraged, increasing physical damage dealt and decreasing all damage taken.
Barrel Roll : Gragas rolls his cask to a location, which can be activated again to explode after arriving or will explode on its own after 5 seconds, dealing damage to enemy units in the area.
Explosive Cask (ultimate) : Gragas throws his cask to a location which explodes on impact, dealing damage to enemy units in the area and knocking them back.
Happy Hour (Passive): Gragas takes a drink from his cask every time he uses an ability, restoring hit points over time.

Kennen,The Eyes of Truth
passive:Kennen's abilities add Marks of Storm to opponents. Upon receiving 5 Marks of Storm, an opponent receives damage and is stunned for 1.5 seconds.
ablities:
LightningMastery" = "Kennen does a double attack every few attacks, and can activate to infuse himself with lightning, dealing damage to attackers and adding a Mark of Storm."

LightningRush" = "Kennen assumes the form of an Avatar of Lightning, moving very fast and ignoring collision. Any unit he touches receives damage and a Mark of Storm."

ShurikenHurl" = "Kennen throws a fast moving shuriken towards a location, causing damage and adding a Mark of Storm to any opponent that it hits."

KennenShurikenStorm" = "Kennen summons a shuriken storm around him, dealing damage to singular enemies who stand near him."
(Shuriken-Ninja's throwing weapon)

The last one is subject to change since he's not on the TR yet.

Lao no sheen as first item on cm o.O? I know #1 elo player, he plays cm and ya he uses sheen as his first item, also archangel is a good 3-4th item if ever, gl =p ( lol just noticed that annie was following the same genius build, other cm had a fairly good build ).

Annie was actually playing that champ for second time, and i told him to follow my item build, lol
I think at that game i had like 400-500 AP without an AP elixir, imo this build is better, always worked better for me

[Barotix]

Sheen/Lichbane is the only consistent item in my CM build.
I don't like Annie's build, not enough defense. Going to be honest, looks like twitch (kills)/ashe(towers) carried you. I haven't seen a twitch do well in ages, people call him OP but he usually gets wrecked in w/e bracket(deep mid? I'll have to email support for my Elo.) I'm in. CFangNasty (#1 ranked player) has a legit CM build.

For CM I go:
Lichbane
Boots
<looks at enemy team & allies to determine next 4 items>

For Annie I go:
RoA
Boots
Mejais
Rylais
Zhonya's
Banshee's/Frozen heart
Test Realm patch Notes:

Spoiler!

Anyhoos, I won't be playing much during twitch week. I have shit to do & I don't want to put up with all the bad twitches. The only good twitches are those you meet outside twitch week, during twitch week most of them will feed because they think twitch is OP & they have a retarded god complex. Sort of like udyr week.

re: Your screenshot, it looks like they went 3 AP, 1 AP tank, and a fail twitch. They lost at champion select. I can see the enemy dominating early game but late game? To much physical deeps on your team. Veigar would have torn them a new one, damn blind mode. >.<

[LaloHao]

We were actually losing at the beginning, feeding =/, but came back after some team fights

[SM-Count]

Stinger on Ashe, they deserve to lose.

Wow, higher AP scaling on turrets, guess they really don't want late game scenarios... or early game fun (late liz/golem spawn times are retarded, why prevent lvl 1 team fights over buffs?). I dunno the rationale behind these changes, mages aren't supposed to rape towers, they're supposed to AoE-burst heroes down then watch phys dps take towers down. Can't have them good at bursting shit down all early-mid game AND kill towers all mid-game, kinda imba.
