League of Legends

Andraco

My friend and I started a cult that worships Master Yi. Basically like Chuck Norris but in League form. Just thought I'd leave that here.

Trey

Apolinario

played a couple more games and decided to just get 3 1350 champs instead  

now I got buyer's remorse.. I should have waited up to 6300 to get lucian..

Trilliana

Ohgod... Trey... That is epic. Thank you XD

Also LUCIANNNNNN

Synbios

A Certified Master Yi Dunking Build there, @Trey.

Eiredhel

played a game with @Xer and some lovely others and they let me play jungle nidalee, best part was, WE WON!

Trilliana

First normal game in forever... support Nami. Got first blood and 2 other kills, ended up failing and losing. Still was amusing as heck!

Trilliana

and 2 fail ranked games. Yeah, gonna go back to bot games

Jespar

2 ip away from a new champion

Cynlael

found out who my new character is, ALISTAIR RULES yes shitty cooldown times but alot of fun to play :P any sugestions on improvements of items i have are welcome i have two frozen mallets because it was near end game and i have most of the stuff for another one so i just chucked my last 1000 or so at another one

Eiredhel

and @Jespar you should get an aegis, shard of true ice is fun, reverie, etc. If you're support. If you're top lane, get some ap and a frozen gauntlet.

Phraag

Oh I play this, NA servers summoner name Mecha Destroya

Cynlael

My ward coverage was so bad this game

Rangor

I've noticed that people throw less games when I go psycho ward support... Ward every bush you come across. Keep sightstone+3-4 wards in your pack after shopping and the game usually goes quite well.

Mishgul

duo queue and always go bottom lane, best way to win in my experience.

Daklore

You go Akali and just steal everyone's kills. What are you even talking about?

Cynlael

Shen has got to be the most boring champ to play... (Or play against, depending on what champ you have top lane) - PS stop playing Shen jungle pls, he clears so slow at the start.

Jespar

so i have nearly 2000 ip and im looking for a champion to buy, i want a ranged person, i have plenty of melee but i wanna get into apc or mid laners (if they are the same thing then oh well i dont even know haha) i still dont know what adc stands for exactly just that it is either attack damage carry or ability damage carry? idk oh well perks of being a newb... all i know is they go bottom lane :P anyway i realise that i should play all the champs and see which ones i like best but i dont get enough games in each rotation to try every champ so im just looking for some recomendations on who you think would be fun and how much they are! thanks

Daklore

mid-laner and apc are -usually- the same thing, but there are non apcs that are played mid. Mostly because they counter apcs.

APC stands for AP carry, as in, they build the AP stat to "carry"[Edit: Because their skills all scale off of AP, and deal a large amount of, magic damage. It's (usually) a bad idea to not have a source of magic damage(which mostly comes from the APC/mage) on a team, as an all physical damage team allows the enemy to build armour to beat you]. Carry is a bit misleading nowadays, but we still use the term.
ADC stands for AD carry, who builds AD items to do the bulk of their damage off of auto-attacks(and in the case of melee based ADCs, sometimes off of their massively AD-scaling skills)

Some non-AP roles that can be played mid and work are Zed(probably the most common), Aatrox, Fiora( @Erasariel claims this is the only way to play Fiora), Pantheon, and Kha'Zix. Those aren't the only ones, I'm sure, they're just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Really, kinda best to play free-week champions and find ones you like.

That's how I started playing. I played Pantheon during a free-week, loved it so much I bought him as my first champion and played him almost exclusively till level 20 or so. At that point I started dabbling with mages(APCs) and marksmen(ADC)[mage and marksman are now the official Riot term for these roles]. And I only really play Panth on the rare occassion I play Dominion.

As for good mages early on? Annie... uh... Anivia and Karthus can be good, but they're very farm based early. I'm not sure how easy Anivia is to learn, cause her combo is a little tricky. But yeah, Annie is pretty much the newbie guide to mages. Veigar also works as a newbie mage, but he's kind of a snowball or fail champion most of the time. And his CC is hard to properly use if you're not used to it... but Veigar and Annie will teach you to last hit. Veigar especially. (since killing minions with his Q gives you a permanent AP boost).

If you don't have Annie, I'd suggest Annie as a good mage. She's only like 650IP or 350 or 450 or something. Is it 450? I'm not logged in.

Trilliana

Annie is 450 and I really suggest her for your first mid-lane (though I've seen her support and jungle, both of which blew my mind- dat stun)

Lissandra is pretty good because of her passive- every 18 seconds, her next spell costs no mana.

Jespar

yeah i have annie, ill have to start playing with her a bit more, what should i buy for her?

Daklore

The usual. Sorc boots, rabadons, zhonya's. Rod of Ages works as well, but you want to make that your first rush or don't get it at all probably. Deathfire grasp works really well on Annie, because her combo is pretty much a 100-0 burst. If you don't kill them, you're dead. DFG helps secure that.

Wards.

Mako

add me, PentaJamin is my sign in name..aatrox ftw

Cynlael

Boots will depend on what you're laning against. Perfectly reasonable to get merc treads or ninja tabi too.

Can also go ROA / Archangels like Daklore said, she can stack AA pretty quickly with short cds + last hitting with Q, for extra survivability.
Edit: Rylais can be substituted in Athene's place, if you need some more health. The slow from it is good, too.

Cynlael

Take all of my
