 Welcome to Season 5's League of Legends Thread! Previous thread Newbie Thread Competitive League of Legends Thread Fantasy League of Legends Thread  Get Tristana, Alistar, and Garen for free!What is League of Legends? League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena game based loosely off of the famous DotA mod of WC3. They have changed sufficiently over the past few years that they're both different games. The objective is to destroy the enemy base controlling one of many champions and duking it out against other player champions or AI. Like many games of this genre, it is completely free to play and has microtransactions that only change the game cosmetically. There are four game maps currently: Summoner's Rift(5v5), Twisted Treeline(3v3), Howling Abyss(5v5 in a single lane), and Dominion(5v5 with different objectives). What's the difference between League and similar games? -No gold loss on death -Summoner Spells, powerful abilities on fairly long cooldowns that can change the outcome of fights -Recall, a spell that takes your champion back to base to purchase items -Level caps at 18 -Some champions possess other resources than mana and are gated by cooldowns -Mana Costs/Cooldowns/CC effects are typically small. The strongest CC lasts 3.5 seconds but has to be used at extreme ranges -Scaling for mage champions -Runes and Masteries, allowing customization for specific roles -Account levels from 1 to 30. Progressive unlocks of Rune Pages to modify your champion's initial stats How do I earn Champions and the other stuff? There are two currencies in League of Legends. The first is IP, indicated by the little pair of swords on your client. These points are used for buying champions, rune pages, and runes in particular and are earned by playing the game. The second is RP, indicated by the little fist icon to next to the swords. This is currency you pay a bit of real cash to get. These are redeemable for champions, skins, packs (skins and champions bundled), rune pages, name changes, and a variety of other services. I know plenty of people that have never purchased a single champion with RP. You can easily play the game without having to pay a cent. There is also a leveling system where your account goes from 1-30. As you get further along and to 30, you will be pitted against other 30s, and they will have full access to runepages and mastery setups. You can purchase(with real money) boosts of IP and XP if you want to speed up the process. Rune Pages  So, one of the major customizable features of League of Legends is the rune page. You start with two if you've recently made a new account. There are three tiers of runes. NEVER BUY T2 RUNES.Here's a few generalist pages that will get you by once you hit 30. Feel free to purchase T1 runes of these types as you level up: AD:  Attack Damage Reds / Armor Yellows / Magic Resist (Flat or Scaling) Blues / Attack Damage Quintessences This is ideal for your Marksmen, AD Bruisers top, a variety of Junglers, and Supports. Anything that emphasizes hitting harder with your auto attacks or physical damage spells will use this well. AP:  Magic Penetration Reds / Armor Yellows / Magic Resist (Flat or Scaling) Blues / Ability Power Quintessences Ideal for casters of virtually any type, these gives you a fair bit of penetration for your spells, defenses, and a bit of Ability Power to scale your magic damage spells early on. There are many, many more runes that you can use. Marksmen and some bruisers utilize life steal quints, some Junglers use attack speed reds, and movespeed quints are incredibly valuable for all classes. They are all purchasable with IP.

Yorick/Soraka bot lane duo. If there's something more rear end in a top hat than that, I dunno what it is. Every time we run it in normals, we consider the game a failure if the other bot lane hasn't ragequit or started spamming allchat by 15 mins. It's the most fun you can possibly have being a dick to everyone in this game

In before an infinite number of posts in the new thread go "hey remember <champion that everyone thought sucked>, well I forgot all about the enormous changes Riot made to them in the most recent patch, didn't read the notes, but I've nevertheless decided to post and brag so I can lord over everyone in here how smart I am... oh whoops." Here's my 4.13 tier list/website (repost): http://pryorability.blogspot.com/2014/08/league-of-legends-tier-list-patch-413.html Serv, if I made an enormous effort post with general rune/mastery setups for a variety of roles and popular champions would you want it for the OP? Alternatively we could try to steer people to some of the better resources that have come out since the last major update to the OP, stuff like probuilds and publicly available professional game rune/mastery pages.

Bubble-T posted:Boy howdy I can't believe how hard they dumpstered Sona why won't Riot listen to the PBE players It's not that they dumpstered Sona, it's just such a confusing unnecessary rework on so many levels. Pick rate went up slightly, now it's back to normal. Win rate went up. She's going to eat some nerfs next patch probably and be in no better position or playing level of satisfaction, in my opinion.

She's going to eat some nerfs next patch probably and be in no better position or playing level of satisfaction, in my opinion. I think they achieved their objectives - her spells and auras are less spammy, way clearer and more interactive with your allies. All of that without harming her pick or win rate sounds like a job well done to me. Also the point is there were many, many people complaining that she was going to be total garbage and that this had been proven by playing her on the PBE, not just 'not in a better position conceptually' or whatever your conclusion is.

Bubble-T posted:Boy howdy I can't believe how hard they dumpstered Sona why won't Riot listen to the PBE players It's funny how after the rework she's like exactly identical win rate as before despite having massive changes done to her kit. It's so bizarre. I can't even imagine how you could have pulled that off if you specifically tried to do that.

Yea seems like mission accomplished on Sona's rework. They have more tangible things to balance on her kit so she can be adjusted up and down, it looks 100% cooler when you're using her kit now, and she basically does the same as she did before but slightly better. I think the aura zones are pretty cool and its fun to go around in a teamfight 'tagging' people and helping.
