I've got some LoL questions, and seems best to post here rather than a new thread.

I've never played LoL, but my son (aged 9) wants to start playing. What do people think about this?

I've mainly got concerns about the community... he's been watching YouTube videos and is telling me the he will only play against AI Bots and will turn off chat, but I have a feeling that he will want to move onto PvP matches, and I guess chat is needed for a team game.

I'd appreciate some honest and balanced opinions on this.

Definitely disable the chat. Even Bot games can get a little heated if you run into the wrong people, although it's nowhere near as bad as PvP. LoL has a pretty good ping/signal system, so disabling chat isn't the end of the world: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752974-Smart-Ping

Does he have any friends that might want to play it with him? Or maybe you yourself?

As someone who has played for 5 years now, the community can flame you pretty hard, I mean I can just ignore it. If there is a way to disable the chat you should do it, as far as I know you can only mute players on your own team, you can disable all chat though.

Thanks for the input. I'll steer him to something else.

Steer him towards Overwatch

At the end of a game, how can i praise some awesome playesrs? i really wanted to but couldn't find where.
someone said the green box top right but i cant see it

Just looked at how long it's been since I started playing. All the way back in August 2010

(Galio release was when I started) and I've spent a grand total of £26, god I'm tight

Taken a hiatus this year playing other things but think I'm ready to get back into it.

In the lobby at the end of the game to the far right of their name in the top right corner there is a thumbs up icon (I think) click that and it gives you various options.

I won 9-1 placements and was shunned back to silver anyway. Really can't be arsed anymore.

1st game in 2 months and ran straight into a 5 man premade. Doesn't excuse my terrible gameplay but this dynamic que is awful.

hey guys, I play this daily, will add the chat room tonight, I don't play ranked as I am always on my own and don't trust randoms

**** this.

Alistar's e is now some bs mini rammus ult instead of a heal. What ****ing good is that to me?

They've ruined my favorite champ :/

^look at your new passive

just Scott · 11 Nov 2016 at 22:41

New Ali is really good I think. He exists for his combo and he still has that. Now he can just do more than block skillshots and wait around for pulv to come off CD.

What do people think of the changes to jungle & assassins?

I started playing again a month or so ago (not played for 2 years+) & found jungle to be fun with all the smite buffs etc, not really liking the new changes

Seems like the new plants that allow you to jump walls can be really buggy

Also some weird things happening with some assassin skills like there is a delay/bug

Nerfing his ult was almost a deal-breaker for me, but now I can't even zone because my heal is some passive bs.

Plus, Ardent Cleanser was so OP on Ali and now it's useless.

Do they honestly have to change the jungle mechanics every season? Changes just seem like they're changing it for the sake of it at this point.

This season is the most disconnected I've been from League since 2011. Fewest games played in the last couple of months, not paying attention to patches or watching any streams. I wonder if I'll even be able to hit diamond again this season.

It's WoW's fault.

Ive been playing a lot of D3 this patch due to the disconnections!
