*** League of Legends ***

Depends what time but when I checked at 7.30am it was all back up (Euro Servers).

On another note we've come close to the 25 user limit on mumble so now upped to 30 users :)

Looks good imo, will probably pull me over from LoL when it is released. Pics are pretty to :)

Why aren't you playing HON then? :)

First glance looks like it will appeal more to the Hon/Dota crowd than the LoL one. It also won't (I don't believe) be free to play and I believe that denial mechanic is in. Love it or hate it it will keep people away.

I've also not seen anything from Icefrog that particular excites me - but that could be my own misguided view of someone who took what was an already sucessful product.

Hon will be worried that is for sure, LoL - heck if i'm still playing when it's released i'm sure something fresh will be good. That is unless Riot get off there backsides and do something other than skins or champions :)
 
This is true, I think I'm not playing HON atm since I just moved over here and have only just started to get into gaming again (haven't wanted to spend to much yet) and LOL is free!!. Also the learning curve is pretty steep in HON and I dunno if I cbf doing that atm, but the art looks so pretty for dota 2 and I like dota.

I like the denying part in dota... mostly. Doing it every game gets a bit meh though

I'm undecided re the denying aspect - to me it looks like a mechanic which ensures an even greater difference in level and gold which ultimately makes you more gankable/out leveled. It also does seem a tad monotonous. If you like the deny aspect gangplank can deny in LoL.

I've played Hon but it didn't grab me - slick interface but other aspects didn't appeal. I probably didn't give it enough of a go though :( Join us in Mumble - good community we have going now, as long as you arn't a rager :)
 
Hahah, no not a rager, get frustrated certainly but that just makes me competitive :D.

Yeh HON seems to need a necessary few months to really know how to play, best thing about LoL is being able to just pick it up and play almost. I will join you guys in mumble, I'll probs be on tonight at about 8ish.
 
So, being the lazy type. What are the mumble server details? I quite fancy a getting together for grouped games with a bit of communication. Also what's the average level player?

I'm currently sat at 15 and as such haven't bothered with rune pages yet and obviously masteries are only half full :) Doesn't bother me loosing but at the same time I don't wanna go matchmaking with you guys and getting stomped by lvl 30's because I can't compete!
 
Is there a limit as to how many of a certain type runes you can have.Only reason i ask is as sivir my base attack speed with my runes is 0.798 is this a cap as i just added another tier2 attack speed glyph only because i bought loads at a lower level and it didnt change at all from 0.798??
 
I'm not sure if dota2 will be massively popular, most of the dota crowd are of the pirate variety and want a free game.
But, it has the dota brand, and it has valve/steam so it can't really go wrong. Too early to say.
There are bad aspects of hon/lol (ui, matchmaking, mods, custom UI, lolclient). Dota2 has room to take the best of hon/dota/lol and do it properly.

Attack speed cap is 2.5.

You can have an entire rune page of the exact same rune if you want... I just wouldn't advise it. There's a rune spreadsheet in the OP that you should always consult first aswell.

-edit- Also MeAnBoy, we don't give server info out in the thread anymore. Please add "mcknight27" or "talsworthy" and message us in-game, we'll be more then happy to get you set up. Don't fret about you skill-level, our group has all sorts in it already and we certainly don't discriminate :D

I need myself a primary carry and ad nuker but i am unsure what direction to take. I was thinking Akali? Thoughts?

I've been playing a lot of this the last week, although have to say, I REALLY hope there's some new maps soon. Even after a week and a half, the whole 2 maps feel distinctly samey, and become quite repetetive, especially as the games tend to become in some ways a little predictable.

Really hope they widen the maps and the map size and whats going on in them, to make things a bit more interesting.
Feel free to add me as an ingame friend anyone, username is the same as my forum name here - alexrose1uk :)

New Halloween limited edition skins as well as Lux skin information.

Regarding the map situation, one map isn't actually that boring. There are countless ways it can be played after all and if you consider that it takes 200+ games to truly master a single champion on that map there's plenty of variety to go around.

In FPS games a lack of maps can be difficult to deal with, but in a MOBA it's not the same. With one map everyone is playing the same game, what will happen to the ladders when it's one of two different maps? Separate ladders for each map? Or will it just be random..

To be honest I don't really want them to add another map, because 95% of the LoL player base haven't got the slightest clue how to play Summoner's Rift yet, how on earth are they going to get anywhere near learning another much larger map as well?
