If paying for something makes you/your gf happy, go for it! So many gamers have a "I'm not paying for your service" attitude...IMO just do what makes you happy as a consumer just don't spend your RP on runes/champions since you can use IP. Buy lots of cute skins! Frostfire Annie is worth any amount of RP.

LoL is a great game to play when I need to relex from SC :D.
You may want to buy cheap IP champions, but its better to spend RP to buy those 6300IP champs. Since you will need your IP to buy runes. Don't buy runes untill you level 20 though.

Last thing, TL has a large number of LoL, go here for more discussion, www.Liquidparty.net

Only time I bought RP was when they had a double xp/ip weekend last summer. My friends and I all bought those xp and ip boosts since they stacked with the weekend bonus, and we marathoned the hell out of some LoL for a few days. Funny enough, doing that burned me out on the game and I haven't played since. I never even made it to level 30.

I've been thinking of playing again, but even though it's more friendly to noobs than other games in the genre, it's still not very easy to pick up and play. I didn't know half the champions back when I did play, they've added a few dozen more since then, and people are dicks if you don't play perfectly.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

yeah you can, but i spend a lot of time on the game, so i figured it's worth it to make it more interesting for me. all my friends play it so it's nice to show off some cool skins. haha

Hahaha, it's hard to find good looking girls that also play games with a guy. Especially really nerdy games like SC or LoL. I knew she used to play WoW before I met her so it wasn't hard to get her into other games. Her dad loves to game so she was introduced to games early on since she's close to her dad.

it's a bad decision because you can buy pretty much everything useful with IP, I think

the skins you can't, which aren't a necessity, but are awesome because you can look really cool :D

The NA server isn't as bad. The worst server times are during patch days, which is twice a month. It's an annoyance at best however.

I personally wouldn't use RP to unlock champions. Just grind a little more for IP and you'll be fine. Like with most purchases, you should probably wait to test out champions when they're free before buying them. My main buyer's remorse are buying champions that I've never played into the double digits (e.g. Lux, Karma)

If you are the type of person that always wants to have the best gear, I don't recommend spending that RP On Champions or Runes until atleast level 20 (when T3/Greater is unlocked). Instead use the RP on IP Boosts and if you are impatient use it on some RP. And use the free champs each week, when you find one you really like then buy it with some RP. The main thing is don't buy every new hero every week, because they end up being free 1-3 weeks after release.

Why? Because it is more expensive than you think to fill a rune page and if you always want the best you won't want to switch champs once you hit 30. So you farm up a bunch of IP have rune sets for similar types of carries, decide to start doing ranked and realize you may need to play a tank/jungler every now and then and get frustrated.

However, if you don't mind the occasional bad game buy as many champs as your heart desires!

Edit: Don't play around 5am EDT (2am Pacific) -- Just don't.

LoL is a fun game and you can't blame yourself for supporting those who make it.
Also, don't forget to check out Riot's weekly champion/skin sales. You save thousands of RP from buying stuff that is on sale so patience pays off

I got one of the champ packs ~2 years ago and haven't regretted except when I've tried to quit/cut down on the game. FML. There were less heroes back then though so the pack gave half, was relatively simple enough to IP unlock the rest, not sure how worth it is now though.

You will have alot of fun with this game.

Did you guys know that LoL is the second biggest game in the west besides WoW? And it is also an ESPORT! (but only the third best)

Started trying out LoL with my bf too a few weeks ago due to a friend mentioning that LoL is more noob friendly than Dota and introduced new mechanics (like the bushes).

Its a nice break from SC2 since I suck at SC2 with my lack of experience in RTS and fail game sense. Then again, my bf played Dota semi-competitively some years ago... so he pretty much picks up the game so much faster than me.

TBH I'd never spend money on a free game since I'm a full time student and not earning any money yet, so I don't foresee myself spending on LoL anytime in future haha. If I do buy, I'd simply be using the points to buy new heroes and just try them all out, not on the skins though.

Go to PC Bang. LoL is Free To Play + every champ and rune is unlocked for you. True story. Try not to trip on your way out to the door to the nearest PC Bang.
Your Welcome

edit 1: I've spent about $80 on LoL since i started playing last summer. Grinded most champs with IP, buy sweet skins on sale for favourite champs or indulgences (Arctic Ops Kennen and Gatekeeper Galio ^_^).
