kudos to riot for making sure they actually got to play the last game instead of tomorrow saving the players the hassel.
well, the security and police doesnt particulary care that riot does a tournament that needed 30 mins longer than expected.

This is HUGE.... from general moving with lightning rush to the ever so energy contrained team fight... the energy cost thing wont matter till late game since every1 maxxes his lightening ball thing last Plus its old news...... The increased ap ratio on his ninja star matters quite a bit though, since energy-based ranged harass is really annoying to deal with.
do you level it up though? I still stick to maxing out W and E first for team fight capabilities.

If you play Kennen, you must learn how to hit your Q. It does big damage and is really what gives Kennen lane control during laning phase.
You use E mostly for the mobility and stun tick, not the damage. It's a one point wonder. Only reason you'd max W and E first over Q is you feel really uncomfortable with that skill shot. If that's the case, get practicing. Weak/No Q Kennen is a really underpowered Kennen.

So I just started playing LoL recently and am new to Dota type games as well. Wondering if anyone can give good hero suggestions, preferably ones that are 3k or cheaper. Leveled up to 14 mostly playing vs bots, recently started playing PvP I think I'm starting to understand it doing well with Annie after reading some guides. I prefer casters/support but I'm looking to get into melee heroes too.

Annie/Ryze for AP Soraka/Janna for Support
Cheap Melee? I dno, Jax is reduced atm but I think he's kinda hard to play early and without runes.
|
Janna is way too difficult, rather play Sona

I personnaly am puzzled between waiting to have 6300 IP to buy an expensive champion (I'm looking for Lee Sin) or buy some cheaper champions (poppy+cho+karma maybe) and start saving for runes.

Definitely save it up for runes first. They are more useful since you can use them in any game but your 6300 IP champ can be picked by someone else on your team and you're just left with the free ones.

For a good melee champion for a beginner I'd suggest nasus, he's going to crush everyone who doesn't know how to deal with him(everyone below 30)

That's why. If you learn how to play Janna you learn how to win 85% of games.
Janna teaches you mapcontrol, positioning, kiting and what AD carries should NOT do.

I already bought some since I'm a really indecisive person, I won't be left with the free ones. :D I may not resist to buy one other cheap champ before just saving for runes, thank you anyway for the advice.

Hold off on recommending support until after the patch lol. No point investing IP in a hero that we know is going to get changed.

huehuehue no ticket to the ESL Players Party? NP sneak your way in anyway!.
Regi confirmed that he was hungover during the SK vs TSM games. He wasnt alone though. Shushei was hungover aswell (while I dont think it excuses his play today sadly :< ) Talked to salce today, he said his Zilean is horrible even though he revived JiJi's kog like 3-4 times in a row during the long midlane push CLG had vs Mil.
WCG Germany news for those interested: they tried playing for 12 hours today, and played 2 matches. (talked to Zylor and someone from TTT) they didnt know why, but the tourny server had lots of problems for them, and this is the same server riot was running IEM on, and in the end they played on the live EU west server on the Backup US east server (lol) having everyone DCing at the 15min mark no exceptions.
Saint, Salce and JiJi saying that Kobe needs to actually practise if he wants to play with CLG (with all of them adding Unfortunatly they love to play with him, but they want to win aswell :> ) CLG afraid of TSM: 3 (Hotshotgg) TSM afraid of CLG: 8 (Reginald)
urgh then there was some more trashtalking of double AP meta
oh and while I am talking to saint about I think it was Nocturne, this random dude comes up to me and asks he can take a picture with me. lol I have no idea who he thought I was, but I let him take the picture 
also got invited to the Justin.tv party tomorrow by what i think was Kellymilkis (not completely sure I have had a couple of beers at this point, got Salce to get beer for me xD. ) Unfortuantly I cant go, but if anyone is going tomorrow and wants my Beer coupon for it you can have it if you find me during the first few LoL matches tomorrow.
the main thing that sucks with watching stuf flike this live instead of on stream is that I need to leave so I can make my flight home and so I doubt I will have time to finish watching the finals :<

Unless you have played something on a free week and really liked them, don't go out of you way to buy anything past 3k when you're still starting out.
Get a few cheap champions and play whats free and work on some basic rune sets.
Reds - Armor Pen (205), Magic Pen (205) Yellows - Flat Armor (205), Mana regen per 5 (205) Blues - Magic Resist per level (205), AP per level (410?) Quints - Armor Pen (1025), Flat AP (1025), Flat HP (optional; 2050)
Once you get all of those (excluding maybe flat HP), you have a reasonable rune set for almost any champion. Go ahead and get more champs from there, but eventually you want to expand your rune pages.
Reds - AD Yellows - Dodge Blues - Flat CDR, Flat Magic Resist Quints - Flat HP, Movement Speed
There is a decent attack speed one, but I forget which. There are some other runes out there that have uses, like yellow HP per level or mana runes for Ryze, but you can really go without them.
