So I'm progressing through LoL at a fairly decent rate. I think I've mastered Nasus and am working on Gangplank and Nidalee with Alistar coming soon. However the connection around here has started dying so I'm sticking to AI fights till it's better. Looking forward to playing with you all real soon!
You'll both want to check out guides from the following sites:
mobafire.com
leaguecraft.com
solomid.net
The search functions are different for each site, but what I look for is recently updated ("freshness", patch date, and "days since update" respectively), and high overall votes/comments ("score", "rating", and only a comment count/approved note, respectively). All mobofire guides and the good leaguecraft guides have a section at the top with a quick reference for build order, skill order, masteries and summoner spells. What I would do if I was new to this game is don't buy any champions yet, just try the different free ones and play one practice game before going into queue so you have some idea bout how their abilities work.
This has a two-fold advantage: you know what your character is capable of (in terms of killing, escaping, and farming) and you also know what your opponent can do (so you don't solo Yi, know that Ez is almost always going to get away, and never stand right behind your tower to "b" [return to base] because there are too many champs that can tower dive you or use their ult to kill you).
My in game name is the same as forum and I don't mind playing with newbies as long as you listen when we (just the guys who have more games played, not necessarily better) let you know about how a particular mechanic works or what went wrong in a fight/how it could go better. Nothing is worse than a newbie to a complicated game who won't listen to advice (personally, I like it when people tell me who I could have done better in a fight)

LOL...it is him. I wonder why he isn't wearing his pink gems. It would go so much better with the dancing girls.

So the other team decided to go for the kill after taking out two of our team in the jungle, while skarner + ali Backdoor'd their nexus, I ended up 1v4ing their team under our nexus towers. I felt like a boss.
I'm level 30, about 1300 Elo and this is my LoL retirement week. As soon as Skyrim comes out I'm ditching League for it and I doubt I'll return. (Kinda sick of it right now.)
Anyway, I'll gladly create a smurf for y'all noobs or queue with people for dual ranked or whatever. I've been up to about 1400 Elo but I've had some seriously shitty games lately and I'm a bit disillusioned. I like to play support or jungle (I really prefer to play Soraka and go nuts but that might not be what's best for low level play.)
Also, I work with Lynx so we're homies. Add GlandyOver in game if you want to get some games on and help me retire in style.
Lol too true...well at least we finally get a water user, even if it is that damned alien bunny thing anyone remember Urf the Manatee? They cancelled him as a champ because he was 'too ridiculous'...and Stitch isn't??
I didn't expect a LoL thread here but hey as long as I'm on

I don't have an ELO, I don't play ranked but that's probably because my current group doesn't. I do however like to think of myself as a 'good player.' If I do play with any of you however I'll leave you guys to judge.
Hey everyone! My name is Grant, and I'm new to Icrontic. As you can see, my friend Ilriyas posted our scores of LoL in the above post. I'm pretty sure you can tell who I am in those games. Anyways, I hope to get to enjoy this website as much as you all have.
Cheers!

This being a game where they were at our base doorstep at about 12 minutes in telling us it was GG and there was nothing we could do.
That was a glorious win, one of my all time favorites. Look at that chat. So butthurt.
Mind if I tag along on a LoL excursion sometime, assuming you don't mind a really scrubby Mordekaiser on your team?
I've played like 5 matches, I don't know the lingo.
Also, my username is DasFitzkrieg
I've found I'm actually pretty good with Nunu, especially in late-game if I get my ultimate going with a friend around to take advantage of it.
Still trying to work out my buy order, but I think I'm getting better.

Also, this is for Preacher, an example of Taric irl:

Never give up! I'm pretty sure I'll be singing this when I get a in a bind on LoL from now on.
My friend is pissed at me. He HAAAATES this character.
(Also, add BHHammy ingame if you'd like. That's me.)
Cheers!
