An additional question, what should I stick in the reds for a support rune page? I'm kinda drawing a blank here, maybe flat armour/mr? | ||

However, I'm can't decide whether I should buy Taric or Sona. I'm leaning towards Taric a bit, but I've read some stuff about Sona being really strong when it comes to aggressive plays, so I don't know... An additional question, what should I stick in the reds for a support rune page? I'm kinda drawing a blank here, maybe flat armour/mr? Depends, for Soraka/Janna/Taric AP/level is quite good, on Sona you could run mpen. But flat armor/mres is probably good too since you are real fucking squishy as support. Sona does obscene early game damage where as taric has a stun and some decent damage earlygame. | ||

I still have the mechanics and game sense I guess, but how hard was it for you guys to get used to the new heroes, the items and stuff? | ||

Interesting changes that might happen. The idea of removing oracles seems scary though I don't get why no one bothers to do what SCBW/SC2 does. Give stealthers that DT-like shine and you're good. Pretty much that is how every other game deals with stealth, and it works.

He feels a lot better if your team is on vent, or at least you and the carry you're babysitting. As far as tanky supports go, Alistar is my go-to over taric. If I'm duo laning bot with a support, I generally prefer sona as a partner if I'm just farming, and alistar/taric if I'm trying to go for lane kills. Taric is great solo Q if you play with someone who can 1n2 early on. Caitlyn, MF, sometimes Corki come to mind. Then you can just roam, get mapcontrol and rape other lanes. Jann can do the trick in a similar fashion. Make sure to always pop back at bottom for jungle ganks or your AD carry will spend the rest of the game flaming you.

At earlier levels you will easily demolish people but after that you'll have to learn the game like everyone else. Skill in LoL is a lot about knowledge and not so much about mechanics. You obviously probably will have no problem with mechanics but by the time you played the game enough to be a sucessfull player most of your enemys will have at least decent mechanics. I don't think the transition is too hard, it obviously takes some time to get used to, but other than that not really. | ||

http://eu.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=303627 We made a tiny tool to reconnect to a game, without being logged in to PvP.net! You can end your games now, even if server status is busy. RiotMatricus wrote this tool Fun quote from the thread after someone asked if this would be difficult to officially implement: We made this 2 hours ago in our free time. | ||

Pretty much that is how every other game deals with stealth, and it works. Other games like SC you can not mod the game files to remove the DT-shine thing. Blizzard takes a dim view to people messing with their code and then connecting to BNet. With LoL you can however. So you could hack the client to give yourself an unfair advantage like creating an "always visible" Eve skin and applying it to your client. | ||

One final nubby question before I get out of this sacred thread: do I have to be afraid to do something wrong in the beginning, as in messing up the mastery/runes/stuff like that? I will stick to one hero, try to learn him/her and figure out what this game is about really. Eventually, I want to become a team player, as in learning one Support hero, an AP and an AD Carrier, a tank and a jungler. Is this possible with the whole rune/mastery system or would it be better to focus on 2 heroes? | ||

Don't worry too much about masteries / runes until you are comfortable (you can ignore those until lvl 20 or even 30). Also, never focus Mordekaiser in a teamfight. You can get Tristana for free (+skin) for Liking the league of legends page on Facebook! I will stick to one hero, try to learn him/her and figure out what this game is about really.

Is this possible with the whole rune/mastery system or would it be better to focus on 2 heroes? It's totally possible. Cheap champs you can focus on to save IP for runes: AD ranged: Ashe, Sivir, Tristana Support: Soraka, Janna Tank/Jungler: Nunu AP carry: Annie / Twisted Fate. | ||

If you send a stealthed champion's coordinates, they will draw whatever they like in there and show you on the minimap. Whoa, you just remade stealth into temporary untargetability. | ||

Is this possible with the whole rune/mastery system or would it be better to focus on 2 heroes? It's significantly better to be flexible. It's inevitable that there'll be some stuff you excel better at and some stuff you simply "don't get," but at the very least it's crucial to have an understanding of how to play each role, if nothing else so that you know tendencies, mindsets, what to expect, what is demanded of you by someone playing a different role, et cetera. A bit of a sidenote, the biggest adjustment as a DotA player that you'll find is that LoL doesn't revolve around one carry so much as focus on maximizing a team's carry power. This'll be frustrating if you're used to just carrying every pub came 1v5 in DotA, and will be a bit mindblowing. It's also why many of us feel LoL is simply a different game from DotA/HoN | ||

All the tanky dps does is chase you around the fight while your team tries to dive enemy carries, leaving you 1n1 vs the tanky dps. OMG ASHE WHY FOCUS RENEK OMG.  PS: Thanks for the answers to the stealth thing, completely forgot you can change skins any way you want. >_> | ||
