Board 8 > League of Legends Topic 19 - "Take a good look. It's the last you're going to ge

(+) Yeah! (+)

What is IP again?
IP is the other kind of points you earn when you play matches. You earn both XP and IP and IP are the points that you use to purchase runes and champions. Yes, that’s right, you have to "buy" the champions, but you get the points for free so its not a bad deal. (You can also spend real money on champion packs if you would rather not take the time to earn them) The point is that you get the IP for free so you should figure out which champions you are good with and spend it on those. When you buy a champion you will have it unlocked on your account forever. And if you don't buy ANY champions, you will still have access to 10 of them. Every week there are 10 "free" champions. But they are only free for the week and 10 different champions will be free the next week. And so if you are level 1 you still have 10 champions available to you and so try them out, figure out which one you might like to spend points on and then buy it.

And so IP is good for Champions and Runes. You can also spend *real money* to unlock champions but you can NOT unlock runes with real money, only IP and so runes have to be earned.

To sum up:
You have an account that goes up to level 30 (this is your summoner level)
You earn XP (to level up the account) and IP (to buy champions/runes) every time you play a match
You have rune pages (with up to 30 slots)
You have a mastery page to spec (with up to 30 points) (and you can respec as much as you want)

This is probably a bit over-kill and so if something doesn’t quite make sense just ask and someone will clarify. And if you are going to start playing please post:
(1) Your GameFAQs name
(2) Your Summoner name (this is different than your log-in name)
(3) Your preferred champions. It’s just nice to know which champions people prefer to play or use the most.

And please BOLD THE INFORMATION so we will see it and update the list accordingly.

What is League of Legends?
League of Legends is a team game very similar to the WarCraft 3 custom map DotA. There are two bases, one on either side of the map and several "lanes" between the bases along which AI controlled units spawn. An overhead view of the 5v5 map looks about like this:


There is a base in the bottom left, and a base in the top right. 3 lanes connect the two bases and every 30 seconds AI controlled "minions" spawn in each lane. Everyone who is in the game controls 1 "champion" unit and your job as a team is to push your lanes and destroy the opposing base. The lanes are protected by turrets and so you need your own minions along side you to be able to kill the turrets without getting targeted by them. 2 bases, 3 lanes, 5 players per team.

What are Champions?
Champions are the powerful units that you get to control. You pick 1 before the map loads and that is the champion you will use for that match. Champions start each match at level 1 their max level is 18. The important thing to consider is the stats of the champion you select will be affected by the level of your account.

What do 'account-levels' have to do with anything?
When you create an account you have a level 1 account. That is called your 'Summoner Level'. You are the summoner, and the champion you select for the match is the 'summoned'. You increase your summoner level by playing matches. Every match you play will earn you XP and IP. Earning enough XP will increase your summoner level with the max level being 30. Wins are worth more XP/IP than losses, so try to win ^_^. Your summoner level also determines:
(1) How many runes you can slot and
(2) How many mastery points you can allot

If you are low leveled still and playing by yourself then the game will try and pair you against similarly leveled opponents, but if you are playing with higher leveled friends then it will seek higher leveled opponents. Just something to consider when you start learning how to play.

So does anyone else find Leona's new artwork to be lacking? The poofy 80s hair, high heels, and skirt? If you removed the sword and shield, she would almost look like a mage. Honestly, Irelia would look like as much of a tank if not for lacking a shield.

I do like some details of the art, don't get me wrong, but other details detract from it for me.

Ashe isn't the best 1 on 1 champ. She can normally kite fine, by hitting enemies with her Frost shot, but when the enemy champ has a stun and a flaming bear... gg.

Annie bot has perfect reaction time. And a stun. And a combo that kills most heroes at level 6.

You are squishy ashe.

Bio the thing I noticed was your positioning was off and your understanding of Champions was kinda meh.

For instance: When I'm Teemo and you and I are laning against Xin/Rammus, we can do whatever we want whenever we want to them

In addition, whenever Xin charged at me, I literally couldn't move for five seconds.

I don't know anything about Xin, but something about him was preventing me from doing a goddamn thing.

Being Carried General



I'd like to think that my first non-bot game as Shen worked out well (everyone else instant locked, so I had to go tank), but we were carried by that Katarina so hard you wouldn't believe it. Jungling Udyr died to jungle creeps three times and ganked zero enemies during the laning phase, Akali did not know how to retreat (she died so few times only because of my ultimate and taunt), and we had teleport backdoor Vladimir. The rarest of all Vladimirs.

I also learned that I'm a terrible tank. My instincts are to avoid fights and when I see a lane being pushed, I want to go stop it, and Shen kind of has no AoE damage ability.

Renek is extremely reliable for stopping kat.

"First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed.

Katarina actually mid laned against Kog'maw and won that lane. Mordekaiser and Renekton bot laned against Akali and me, and we could defend the turret but nothing else. Fortunately, Katarina (not Udyr) ganked them a few times to help us. Vladimir actually managed a good solo defense against Irelia and Nasus, but I still had to ult up there a few times to help him, and every time I did, Akali lost control of our lane and our turret got pounded.
