Hi all,
So i picked this game a few weeks ago waiting for the beta to come back, but i'm having a lot of fun with it. Rigth now my main is Annie (i'm lvl 14) with whom i've had a lot of sucess :p
I also wanted to try some support when playing with my roomate, so i bought Janna (because she's not expensive, and seemd good) but i doesnt quite know what to do with her. Any tips on how to build/play her ?

coming from HoN , i gave LoL a try yesterday. pretty cool so far ...im lvl 6 with around 15 games played or so. everything seems to be kinda(!) in balance but one hero is annoying me: Xin Zhao! WTF? what should i do against him? so far when someone picked him he always went 15:0 or something like that....i reckon hes a new hero and probably not balanced yet? anyways im "gutshot" on europe ingame. add me for some pub fails....

He's really not that "great," although he's pretty good. His early-game is nasty because he has a chaser snare and a hard disable, but otherwise unless you're getting fed he struggles to get going past mid-game because you can't build both offense and defense.

i had a xin zhao last game who went 30-5 or so. he didnt pick up a single offensive item, all was tank stuff. so i asked him how he managed to get all the kills and he answered that golem buff has amazing effect on xin zhao ...

i think i read a red post(zil?) saying they were no longer planning to remove flash. i ran exhaust+ghost/flash on kat when i played her. i see what you did there with the clarity though =P

farm with tornado, knock ppl up with tornado midfight, chase people with tornado hit people under tower with tornado.
when amumu+fiddle comes, press R.

But the real story is, does new masteries mean more summoner levels to use them??
supposedly not, they want you to stick to 1 tree if you want the full benefits..

i kinda like how it is now where you dont just mindlessly throw all your points into one tree. then again right now its still kinda mindless considering that certain masteries are CLEARLY better.

Definitely does, that's why I'm thinking that youmu -> brutalizer should be your opening if going for more of an offensive build.

There'd be like 50 mastery points per tree, it wouldn't be mindless at all and there'd be a lot, lot more variety

I'm pretty sure that Flash isn't getting removed. Riot decided to keep it in the game. Ghost is great in replacing Flash if you don't want Flash. Of course you might be trolling since you are considering clarity on a no mana champ. lol

BTs are nice for win more since you farm pretty fast with maxed E. i would definitely go with an AD item thou since at that point dps is more important to you than your Q burst. I've actually started to think about Deathfire Grasp. It'd reduce her cooldowns to nothingness for perma-E and Q, synergizes with Q to some degree, and gives her AP and mana regen as well. I think it's worth a try~ Youmu might be able to do both. If her E worked with Youmu's active I'd certainly pick it I think. GA is of course an option if you can't do much Yeah Youmu is the one I lean toward for offense. It does work with her E. Tower dies in about 3 seconds when you activate it. CD reduction, armor pen and a "hit this key to blow everything up" active is all really nice. You can backdoor like crazy.
For defense, I like GA.

god i wanted to try this out because i have a couple of friends that play LoL instead of HoN (even tho after watching them play i still firmly believe that HoN is atleast twice as good - except for the retardedness of the RAP system and many other flaws that have nothing to do with the actual game but more to do with the client failing so badly...). I load the client perfectly, I join a game perfectly, but the goddamn thing refuses to launch the actual game... I've turned off my firewalls I've read the FAQs etc but after 2hours i just gave up and went back to hon... I'm using windows xp (latest version) and norton anti virus (which ive tried completely turning off), does any1 have any suggestions?

idk thats what i used to think. but its definitely worth trying flash on a couple champions. i got it on kayle cause she has movement boost anyways, and i found alot of situations where flash helped me alot more than ghost(or my haste) would have. its not that one is better than the other always, but i think its a preference and champ specific thing.

Also most Sorakas run neither o/

Too many bad players being mixed into our matches, I'm not liking the feeling of having the gamble-on-who-gets-more-high-elo-players Ah well, give it a week or two I guess. The #1 ranked player right now (nikenikenike) for instance is pretty mediocre (actually atm his rating is like 1450 or something).

What I mean about it working with E is if it'd count it as melee but... I don't think it really matters, 4 secs is still amazing. I guess you could activate it and attack twice before turning E on for about 6.5 seconds of win though... but yeah I think I'll have to try that. These practice games really suck for testing builds that go so far, both of these ended before 22 minutes
E: or does it count E as melee? then that'd be super imba >_

Practice games are rather garbage, I always feel like I can win with any hero using any stupid build regardless of how many level 30s are on the other team :x
