League of Legends, it is that MOBA game that is all the rage these days.

Yeah, it and Starcraft are constantly competing for best online game (Starcraft is better).

I'd say they are much too different to even be compared, but oh well.

Ah. I remember seeing the adverts for that now and trying it out. Not my style. Cool.

This is easily the worst thing I've ever seen you post.

I'd probably agree with revanchist. I at least had a passing interest in Starcraft. LoL didn't even raise enough interest in me to play beyond the first hour.

It's definitely harder to get into, especially if you're not used to MOBAs. Kalo had to pester me for months to play it, and when I finally did my initial impression was basically "So I'm playing an RTS where I have one unit" because when you start off it seems like there's a lot less input to controlling it or to what you actually do than there really is. I didn't start enjoying it until I'd actually figured out what the fuck I was doing, and now it's easily my favourite game.

LoL is like the easiest of MOBAs to get into.
DoTA is even harder with all that secret shop stuff or w/e and that CC last for days there compared to LoL.

Come to think of it Ironclad is making a MOBA called Sins of a Dark Age.

I'd have to agree, I tried smite and nope. I haven't tried DoTA, but can't say that I am interested. Oh, well hopefully it isn't bad, some of the pictures on their website look pretty cool.

Not sure I agree. You have to learn how to fight against 120 or so champions, get runes, get champs of every role, masteries. I'd say SMITE is the easiest to get into.

With the exception of Smite I'd agree it's the easiest to get into (just because with Smite even if you're doing terrible, a third person view is usually more entertaining to people). I know some people who play HoN or DotA who say it's because the game is "easier" but I think it's that it's just more accessible to beginners; skill scales just as much. DotA is much less clear on what's actually happening ingame and seems to treat a high burden of knowledge as high skill cap.

It was inevitable.
Apparently there's also cheering if you get enough stacks.

Kalo's really upset about this change.

Rovert10 · « **Reply #33 on:** June 21, 2013, 09:37:36 PM »

May I ask why?

Ripping things out of a character to solve a problem that'll most likely get worse with the new change is an awful idea.

Phreak explained why you're wrong. Whenever you've talked about it you made it sound like they're trying to prevent him from snowballing, but they'tre not doing that at all.

Right, but what I'm saying is the problem is probably going to get worse and then the Passive will just get nerfed or changed again.

Corey · « **Reply #37 on:** June 22, 2013, 05:08:08 AM »

I don't see how removing something that makes him a bigger lane bully in exchange for something that really only pays off later in the game exacerbates the problem of him being a complete lane bully and falling off late game. The amount of gold this adds is basically the same as he'd get from a TF passive, and they've already said they'll change the numbers if they need to, which is less of an option with the bleed.

Settra · « **Reply #38 on:** September 16, 2013, 11:00:08 PM »

Yo, I was curious about your all thoughts about the seals/glyphs of magic resist/armor being the flat amount runes or the scaling runes? Anyone have a difference? I figured that the base amount ones are better just in case the game doesn't actually last that long.

Corey · « **Reply #39 on:** September 19, 2013, 01:27:55 AM »

Depends on the champion. I guess I technically prefer flat on junglers to make more moves early, but that can change.
