Overture posted:How friendly are the discord and this post for brand new players? I have started playing LoL because it's the end of the world, so why not (I swore I would never play this game). I'm unfortunately having fun but really feel like it would be better playing with goons/friends, not randoms. So far I'm just playing vs AI and practicing different champs (mostly ADC and Mid), trying to understand the macro, etc. I've hit level 11 and I'm getting tired of playing against AI with people who don't even understand basic roles. I think people in here and discord are pretty friendly to new players. Like Hellioning said the caveat to joining in a game with goons that have been playing for years and years is you're likely going to get your rear end kicked a lot as there's a ton of information to digest and the MMR disparity will probably be noticeable. I think offhand there's at least two or three pretty new-ish players in the discord if you play on NA, but couldn't tell you if you're EU or elsewhere. If you got questions you can ask here or on discord; people are more than willing to answer or offer some advice. Unrelated, it looks like it's happened finally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFDOPCIFemg Servaetes fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Mar 23, 2020 |

Hi there, I started playing back in early November, and there's a few other people around that experienced-novice level (account level 30-50s). The discord is surprisingly friendly and helpful.

I had an ARAM game where my team was Lux, Ahri, Blitz, Morg, and Jinx and it was, I suspect, the most aggressively unfun experience for the other team that aram can really produce. Anyways, if you're new to league make sure you give ARAM a try because it'll teach you about a bunch of different champions and sometimes you luck into a team where every champion has a hook or a root and you can see the souls of your opponents wither and die in real time.

Servaetes posted:At that point, it's about sending a message, which is if you are a Kindred jungler, you are a degenerate on par with Vayne top pickers and must be destroyed with impunity gently caress Vayne tops. It's very rude to bring an anti-tank to the tank room, it's inconsiderate. DarkDobe posted:

Hellioning posted:Most goons are cool to play with but if you play with higher leveled goons you're gonna get dragged into games with people way above your skill level and you will be useless and probably die a lot. You probably won't have to deal with people yelling at you for failing, though, so at least there's that. also the best and fastest way to get good at the game!

Waterfall Watcher posted:gently caress Vayne tops. It's very rude to bring an anti-tank to the tank room, it's inconsiderate. its obviously extremely rude to do that but the unironic reason why vayne tops should be summarily executed is because they warp the entire team around their own fetishistic desire to carry. same with lucian there are lots of abusive anti-Big-Boy top laners that fit the meta more appropriately that dont put a giant glowing "gank me because im a psychopath" sign in the top lane

I was honestly okay to sacrifice the win to see her tilt so hard.

That's true and this goes for most top lane champs that are especially good in the early game. Adcs can't handle the ganks, it is common knowledge that the adc has the lowest amount of vision in the game, and that is why they are often given abilities to let them see beyond their field of vision such as Ashe and Quinn abilities. This is also why Twisted fate is not a bad abc.

a fatguy baldspot posted:she seems cool, should i buy her and is she as solid to pick into anything as this picture makes her seem I think she's the most fun top laner fwiw. She beats the poo poo out of most melee tops, but does lose to like Quinn/Vayne and gets countered kinda badly by Morde ult (she wants to 1v2 but he can just ult her to deny it and take her to death realm where her tentacles don't exist). Trynd is also v annoying because he can just live through her ulti burst. In general though she's pretty versatile and you can usually just max q into bad matchups and be fine.

when methanar tried to avoid his thread ban by starting a legends of runeterra thread one of the mods told him he's banned from all league threads so probably you should get a mod to chase him out of your valorant thread before it becomes his new blog about himself
