colacola part legend, part devil... all manBalls deep Icrontian
edited February 2015 in Gaming
So I finally caved and got this game a couple days ago, and last night I had a really fun time playing with Preach, Rex, Lynx, and Duck. Since the game is free to play, and there are at least a few IC members who play, I thought we might as well have a thread or something :D

    I've been thinking about LoL all day at work today because of how awesome it was last night. Can't wait to play again.

    Pretty sure I'm gonna buy that pirate chick that rolled us last night.

    Also - I love how Nemikan comes out of the woodwork the SECOND LoL is mentioned, haha.

    He is the one that hooked me originally, and I basically stopped playing TF2 after that. Bastard.

    Am I correct in reading that LoL only allows 10 characters as F2P at any given time? Meaning you can't use whoever you want all the time?

    That sounds awful...

    Edit: After reading the wiki stuff, you can earn them by just playing, but it seems like an AWFUL lot of points to acquire a champion.

    The game is quite fun using F2P to find who you like/what type of fighter you are (mage/tank/melee dps/ranged dps), and you can purchase them with cash or use cash to buy "boosters" which increase the rate at which you earn IP. There is no limit on the number of characters, as you read. There is no "monthly" cost and you can get buy just fine without paying a single penny, but you'll want to because it will get the characters you want faster or more IP for the different runes that add to your character's specialization

    Cola, Hitman, Preacher and I got frigging rolled last night in a PVP 5v5. We thought we were in decent shape early on, but we were everything but. By the time many of the other team's champions were at max level (18), we were at 10-12...

    Oh, and the IP points will get you a champion or two pretty quickly. Hitman has only played four games thus far, (and he's lost all but one) and he has enough to buy a champion in the ~1500 IP range. You get about 200IP for each win, so it's not too difficult to have 2 or 3 champions purchased on IP alone.

    Beyond that, most people never play with more than 2 or 3 champions anyways, so I wouldn't stress it too much if that's all you can afford. The game is mostly about mastering a champion's build and playstyle. Each player has their niche.

    The thing that helped me initially was throwing enough money at it to just buy boosts and figuring out what characters I liked with free play. Use leaguecraft.com or mobafire.com for community made champion guides (I usually limit it to the last few patches and good or higher ratings), which are extremely helpful with picking the "talents" ... I don't remember what they are called atm but the three columns with offense/defense/support specializations.

    I guess I'm just a bit spoiled by HoN and having access to all of the heroes.

    The heroes rotate weekly. It lets you try new heroes for free, and owning heroes isn't a big deal. The heroes cost 450, 1350, 3500, 4800, and 6300. Almost all the "new" ones are 6300. It encourages people to pay money to get things, but in reality playing the free heroes keep you playing new things enough at first.

    Oh man, just got off of an epic hour and ten minute slugfest. We were getting steamrolled and had more than 5 surrender votes pop up, then somehow we rallied and busted in through mid, destroying all of their stuff and taking the game.

    Actualy you only get that larger amount of ip if it is your first win of the day other wise you get about 50

    If you guys try HoN I'll try LoL, both are free I'm very interested in seeing which is the better game.

    Edit: I have heard that each game has its own better features so I am wondering what fits better for IC as a whole.
