LoL's community might be bad, but Hon/DOTA 2/any other online multiplayer game are not much better. Personally I don't like LoL though (I prefer DOTA 2, which I barely play as well now). | ||

I had heard horrible things about the community, but once I tried the game out itself I find that the people were either balanced on either side of manner(as in for every BM there was a GM) or just chatted to communicate for the game. From what I have seen of the higher levels it may get way more BM there? All in all, definitely give it a try. Hopefully some friends join you. If not, it's still all right. | ||

I quite like it to be honest. Usually there might be one BM player in each team and that's about it, just make sure you don't BM back especially if you are new to the game. try to listen to what he is saying and learn instead. | ||

I enjoy it a lot, BUT, understand that if you have access to DotA it might be better to play and learn DotA since the learning curve is much higher for it in the beginning. Skill ceiling stuff aside, it might be better for you to try DotA and see if you enjoy it. That said, no harm in play LoL, its an amazing game, but takes forever to get full masteries/runes/etc. | ||

About the community, it has a wide spectre, going from nice players to trolls and BMs. It's pretty much the same as other mobas, unfortunately, so you'll have to either ignore the trolls and grow a thick skin or, even better, find some friends to play with. | ||

NEVER take solo queue seriously. Even if your other four teammates are raging at you because you're feeding DO NOT take it/them seriously. It is not worth the time and stress. You will go down a deep, dark path if you put ANY importance, whatsoever, into your elo. Otherwise, Have fun! - enjoy learning 100+ characters...it's quite a ride. | ||

Watevs, it happens to everyone eventually. Edit: To the guy below me, you can fill out 2 rune pages with T1 runes instead of Tier3. They're usually 1/10th the price or less and about 1/2 the effectiveness of T3 runes. If you're a die hard min maxer it hurts inside but really it doesn't matter that much. | ||

If you have played dota, then there are some minor differences in certain mechanics e.g. tower priority is always hits enemy champs attacking allied champs, hit what comes in first, ignore you if there are creeps unless you attack champ and won't switch target until unit is dead or out of tower range No S spam last hit, you have to A move/ a click or right click the creep CC are less imba than dota Minus points IMO: You have to be at least level 30 summoner or you are basically useless i.e. cannot compete in spells (need level 12) and masteries. You don't have full pool of champs to play. I rather enjoy randoming in dota. Overall, it's kinda pay to win despite being free to play. Having better runes will almost always win the game (if skill are close) since tier 3 runes are freaking expensive and you have to fill 30 of them. Worse still if you want to play different roles, meaning almost impossible to fully optimise your champs without enormous time investment unless you buy RP or specialise in roles. Seems that there are some "OP" champs that are better than others that require a lot of IP/ RP to unlock. Anyway, it is still worth a try. At least there are champ rotation so you will get a chance to try out all champs (i think?). Some champ mechanics seem interesting so that's worth looking to as well. Overall.. still a pretty fun game. | ||

The custom game community in league is usually pretty awesome (the only custom people take seriously is ARAM and that isn't guaranteed). I know when my friends started to get bored they would just go on to the custom games list and do a 5v5 where everyone played just for super fun tiems. Also, you can get people to play football sometimes (spawn fountain is touchdown line ^_^) | ||

Is it worth learning how to play LoL? If you've disliked the MOBA games you've played before you may find you just dislike the genre... I personally don't like country music so I don't listen to it. LoL on the other hand is a moba that is significantly easier than DotA 2 so it isn't a bad idea to get acquainted with the genre with training wheels on... DotA2 can be intimidating. | ||
