There are some files that can be deleted aka patch files etc that can reset the client. also I would suggest deleting your %temp% files but as someone else suggested check out the tech forum and if you haven't already post in that as well. Must be other's that are experiencing your issue

Can anyone recommend a decent tank from the 3150IP range please, I'm thinking of Mordekaiser or Garen but cant decide. I've played Gargas and didn't really like his play style.

I've already picked up Amumu and he is pretty decent but I feel like I need more tanks since this game seems to be very carry (or damage in general) heavy unlike HoN where a tank was very important (could be at level 17 no one has noticed this yet). Anyway, I generally like something that can initiate easily and is able to build massive regen if anyone knows a champion that fits that playstyle.

Have you tried Cho'gath? He's hands down one of the best tanks in the game and comes to the field with a stun, a silence, and a huge burst damage ultimate.
 
mordekaiser can do a lot of damage but not very tank like.

how much is olaf? hes not classed as a tank i don think but he has a util that reduces dmg by XXX , and one of his abilities gives you a percent of your max health in damage.

ive easily took on 2 people solo with olaf in tank gear :D you can usually survive if you rush in first in a team vs team fight to
 
Finally got around to buying the collectors pack, never really got into it during beta but played quite a few games recently. Will try to join up with you guys, would like to try tanking but 9 times out of 10 it seems pointless to try in solo random games. Malphite and Veigar seem like my favourites at the moment.

As for tanking, anyone tried Shen? Was thinking about trying him or Nasus.

If you are planning on random queuing I would avoid Nasus as he really needs to be in a team where people understand his abilities. Shen is always good of course, if you enjoy playing him.

Also I think you have the wrong idea about tanking (as it actually works really well in pub games where people are stupid enough to target you with everything), the whole point of you is to charge in ahead of your team and eat up all the CC and nukes that the opposing team has. Often times this will lead to your death but that's just the way it works. If you don't like this idea the best thing to do i play with a Tank/Initiator hybrid like Amumu or Malphite, both of which usually manage to survive the opening blows simply because of their awesome initiation skills. (Amumu is also a god in pub games where people don't have the co-ordination to not bunch up in a teamfight)

Yep maybe 9/10 times was too high, some people are too quick to run or they play the "who can stand the furthest back" game.

Tend to have more fun with Malphite, he seems to make it a lot more obvious for people to join in the fight when he charges in with his ult and throws people in the air :)
 
Yea there is a serious lack of aggression in public games. I've never witnessed it more then this morning though when I was playing games with Xalan. Literally our whole team would be there and we would see 3 people and everyone would start shouting back, back. Extremely irritating.

Of course being Amumu I just got 3 capes and an Abyssal Sceptre and then just waded into the middle of everyone and wiped them (Xalan helped too to be fair) ;)

what champions use armor pen heavy. I bought a ton of AP runes for pantheon but im wana try a new championim working towards caster runes but i need a temp champ to build up the IP
 
I just started playing this weekend, enjoying it so far but the maps get incredibly boring? Are they planning to release any new ones sometime soon?
 
Arknor hit the nail on the head there, any melee champ benefits from APen runes. Although obviously any physical DPS character (but keep in mind some prefer crit runes instead) will love some juicy APen. You should try Olaf, Tristiana or Ashe on for size while you wait. I'm sure there's more but that's just what's at the top of my head right now.

Also TMP, the original DotA only had the one map (as do other clones), so consider yourself lucky that we have two. To be fair to the LoL team though they have mentioned on several occasions that they would like to make up some new maps but that is taking a backseat with all the preparation for Season One and the beginning of Competitive LoL.

If the game takes off, and I'm sure it will, I will almost guarantee that you'll see a new map or two floating about.
 
teemo is good with armor pen , warwick aswell.

teemo is probably one of the easiest chars to play but you would be expected to go middle more likely than not
 
New Champ!!!

Xen'Zhao, The Seneschal of Demacia

Champion type: Fighter

Tireless Warrior (Passive):
Xen'Zhao is healed for 30-70 hit points for every 3 attacks that he lands. This amount increases by 5 every 2 levels.

Battle Cry:
Xen'Zhao passively increases his attack speed and can activate this ability to further increase attack speed and lower his ability cooldowns with each attack.

Three Talon Strike:
Xen'Zhao's next 3 standard attacks deal increased damage, with the third attack knocking an opponent into the air. Deals double damage to minions.

Crescent Sweep:
Xen'Zhao rapidly spins his halberd around him, nullifying incoming missile attacks targetted on him and dealing damage to all enemy units near him.

Audacious Charge (Ultimate):
Xen'Zhao charges an enemy, dealing damage and slowing it and all other enemies in the area. Audacious Charge increases Xen'Zhao's armor temporarily and lowers the cooldowns of all of his abilities.

Is this some kind of joke? Why do they make so many tough melee fighters / dps tanks. It's getting stupid now.

Nope, not at all.

I think in the near future a few champs are ready for a real buff, but till then it best just to switch to another champion you like playing. This is why I play about 4/5 champions frequently, as every patch at least one of them gets a buff, or some of them get nurfed :( (like TF last month) booo!

I don't think I'll be on tonight till about 10, as I've got a friend coming round ;)

EDIT- SEASON 1 UPDATE!!!!

http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=156406

Gentlemen and ladies of the League of Legends,

We've been doing a whole lot of talking about Season One lately, and I am sure that you're all wondering when exactly you'll be able to start indulging in the epic new features that come with it. Well, today, I’m here to officially share with you that we are targeting the 13th of July for the launch of Season One. That's right, Runeterrans, your long wait is nearly over! This time next week you'll be firing up your first ranked games in competitive Season One! I hope you're all prepared!

Had some nice games with tals, silent, mags and siox recently; thanks for the invites!

Thanks for the suggestions on tanking champs too. I somehow segwayed into picking Shen even though he wasn't mentioned here... thought his play style looked kinda nice but so far I've found him pretty hard to tank with.

Anyway, a question about runes... I've not bought any yet because I'm waiting till level 20 before I spend any IP on them to get tier 3 runes. When you buy a rune can you duplicate it to as many slots in your book (of that type) as you want, or do you need to buy the rune over and over to use many of the same type?

Also the Season 1 stuff looks nice, I liked the draft system in HoN and the picking in turn kind of helps promote people to think "What sort of champion should I take" although I guess we'll see how that pans out ;).
