Then you can do this with any other big name games you add as well (including hearthstone, DotA, etc). That way by default only the Starcraft streams show on TL, and all other game streams are put under "other games," but customizable, that way you can keep a standardized site look. However the regulars who love TL and have been here for years can still then customize their sidebar so it organizes them in specific groups like "LoL streams," "Hearthstone streams," "DotA streams," etc. (Obviously this is for the main site specifically) It's an option but I don't know if it makes sense to put all the LoL streams under Other Games. Every LoL fan who is already on TL that has edited his sidebar options in the past will be seeing LoL streams still so it is only reaching out to non-regulars and even at that it doesn't do a great job. Just doesn't sound that attractive and it still clutters the site with more information. I don't mind the standalone sites, but I come to TL. If I wanted to look up specific things on DotA, hearthstone, etc, I'd obviously go to the standalone sites, but as for streams, they should at least be able to be customized on the main site and all should be listed. Obviously liquidhearth for example would still only show hearthstone streams, but those streams should still show up on the TL sidebar as "other games" unless you customize it to, for example, "show hearthstone streams," then it can organize them into a "Hearthstone" section. This should be able to be done for any game. TL to me isn't merely a site, it's a community. When you split the community into separate sites, that's not inherently a bad thing. However, streamers are a large part of the community, and streams are a completely different thing from the actual coverage. Streamers don't even always only stream a single game. Separating the coverage is one thing, but completely separating even streamers from the site seems unacceptable from a community perspective. This is something we would consider doing in the future. It's something I want to think more about once we clean up the TL and LiquidHearth calendars. Besides difficulties of integrating the different calendars that are customized according to each game, the main downside is of that would be the lack of participation in the communities. Case in point would be someone on TL who adds Dota to his calendar and thus doesn't check our LiquidDota and never becomes a part of the Dota community. Additionally we have the idea to create a general standalone esports calendar that takes input from all our calendars. | ||

I've been jungling thor a bit and quite like it. What's a cool jungler I can give it a go with? Also just general cool early buys, still not sure if I want to pay money or not for the game. Prob only after I hit higher level will decide. | ||

Uhhhh If you like Thor's ult style, Thanatos is similar in that he flies up in the air and screams as he comes down to execute someone. Nemesis is very strong right now, as is Hun Batz. Ne Zha and Kali are pretty underplayed right now, but they're fine. Mercury is gaining some popularity again, which is cool cuz I really like him. Arachne is by far the weakest jungler and I believe they're looking at reworking her kit. | ||

Siege is pretty fun, especially cuz there really isn't much in the way of an established meta for it. You kinda just pick whatever and run around and kill shit. It feels kinda similar to arena, but the lanes/towers/silver fury give it a bit more structure and objective direction. I've been using it to dick around and get some god masteries. tl;dr - it's fast and it's fun | ||

Does anyone have any suggestions? Competitive? Smite or Dota are popular here, as is Hearthstone. There are also plenty of indie single player games that are cheap and fun. What are you looking for?

Hel has issues. Her burst is insane, but very short range and only picks up around level 6~7. Later in the game, she's a squishy mage who has to sit in the middle of enemies to do her damage, and her mobility is tied to the heal you want to hold on to. Generally, you want to play her more damage in 1v1 or 2v2 fights, where she can burst people down before dying, but in large teamfights you want to stick in the middle of your team and keep people alive, then burst people who dive out from the enemy team. She's pretty high risk in that once she's in a fight, she's in the fight until someone dies. On May 21 2014 21:27 Numy wrote: I've been jungling thor a bit and quite like it.

Arachne is by far the weakest jungler and I believe they're looking at reworking her kit. I did a quick Jungle write up in the Smite thread. I agree with most of Soniv's suggestions, but there are plenty more junglers that work. I would say Hun Batz is fairly similar in everything but his ult. Both have high damage, both have good mobility, both have AoE CC. Batz has more mobility outside of his ult, while Thor has his semi-global ult. Also consider Guan Yu. He's more tanky, but he has a dash, and a channeled damage spell like Thor, plus a long-range AoE stun (though his is riding a horse instead of flying into the air).

Same overall map strategy as Conquest, but much smaller and faster. Quick rotations, no super long laning phase, no real "jungler" pressure. You can either apply strategy and do rotations based on Siege monster spawning, where your towers are, and lane pressure - or you can just blitz things down. It's fun. | ||

Although it gets into the same territory of there being a learning curve and Req and I would be at a huge advantage. | ||
