I was really good at nocturne till he got nerfed, that nerf srsly gimped him imo

But that's because Nocturn was like the most OP champion ever. every Nocturn, even if they fed in the beginning, became impossible to kill if the game lasted long enough. You couldn't even flash away from his fear.

Now Nocturne is still quite strong although he's not that overpowered. I still find him extremely annoying in the right hands (i.e. a good jungler who knows how to gank. BAH)

cmon,,,,,we all know LoL has nothing on DotA

Oh i forgot that xin is one of my favorites, but I'll only play him when im playing with a friend of mine

We do a Xin+alistar combo and we've played over 50 games with that comp in a lane: we still haven't lost a game due to our lane.

every game I manage to get a kill in the first 3 minutes and we end up hard zoning them at around 6 minutes. Then we both get fed atleast 5 kills with no deaths until I have to start roaming or another lane starts failing and alistar or I have to go help them.

I always wanted to try xin Is he mostly luck or is he skill? I.e. I've seen some xin's own, and some totally feed :3

I feel so ashamed about the game I had with don4prez, because I did a terrible game while he was doing pretty well, plus my game suddenly lagged at the end, making impossible for me to play. Silly gen, always screwing other people's game... I'm sure on the next game I'll do what I can to fix that reputation lol (And I wont be playing as Leona soon lol)

hey, no need to feel ashamed

we all have good and bad games, there's no reason to beat yourself up over something that you had no control of! we were doing fine early on, unfortunately mid and top weren't doing quite as well as we were.

P.S. - i've accepted everyone that has invited me so far, though it's only been two people thus far! add me people

I'm playing right now if anyone else is online (i can wait a bit)

Hurray fixed internet!

So is there an actual learning curve for this game?

I'm getting tired using Yi, and I can't play tanks for shit. So is there a hero that I can best buy for the buck?

There are just some champions that are more difficult to play than others. For example Ryze is extremely easy but he's still pretty strong. Some easy champions are weaker but all champions are viable

And some of the more difficult champions aren't even that good; they're just more entertaining to play.

don't buy Kayle haha. If you want someone pretty fun that isn't too expensive, go with Veigar (not too easy), Sion (easy), Nunu (easy) or fiddlesticks (very strong if mastered well)

[Boggart]

I wouldn't say that Ali or Amumu are easy tanks to learn Although actually tanks are probably one of the harder ones to master since it's all about initiating and proper crowd control.

I forgot Annie xD Yeah she's like easiest AP to learn who is still quite strong.

Nunu is a pretty easy tank to learn I think. Although he's a pretty bad tank...

Someone play with me!

I always end up doing great with Malthazar and I tried my friend's Lux (got into his account) and she was fun. Also Annie and that fucking bear also looks like something I wanna try.

Goal at the moment really is to get an all-around feel and familiarity with each class rather than sticking to just one type. I'll probably buy Nunu or fiddlesticks this weekend and see how they play out.

Yeah malzahar is a pretty good champ. Easily farmed and good at damage dealing too. Kind of a giant ass pain really.

Well I've expressed my opinion on Lux many times now hurr hurr. I actually used to love Annie but she got bored after like the 50th game :3

I still can't tank. Since I'm so used to being AP I always kite and dart around, which isn't great if you're the tank herp derp.

Off topic a bit but HoN is now free

Well Ali has like 2 CC, a heal , and an ability to make him invincible- as far as learning tanks go thats pretty smoooooooth sailing

amumu has despair which helps a lot about learning to stick to targets while tanking- something all tanks should do but forget, the despair makes incentive and desire to do that and learn. skill shot bandages will help with learning skill shots and his ult is fun

True Ali has a lot to keep himself alive, but if you're new you're probably like "I DUN WANNA DIE!" so you just run away a lot instead of tanking I guess it's true that it's good for learning, but your team might hate you a bit (for both ali and amumu)

Off topic a bit but HoN is now free

I don't like HoN It's too similar to DotA except that it's very grainy and dark

Lately I've had a lot of bad games and bad scores, I dont know what has been happening, maybe its just me trying to play with champions that I used to be good and now suck, like malz, jax, vlad(the worse of them, since I used to pwn as vlad),yi and kat (I used to be a beast with kat, but the last game I played as her I did 3/13/10 lol. They had a fed anivia and kog'maw kept ksing a few kills and not doing much after getting fed ._.) and I've also been good with champions I used to suck, like tryndamere and irelia...
I'm about the same with the other champs that I used to be ok, like Lux, Nid, Karma, Nunu and Akali (one of my favorite ones)

[Boggart]

Just lost a 4v5 with katrinas Stupid leavers.

We did okay though. Before the final blow I was like 9/4 and Kat was 8/3. Sadly our shen was balls.

No no no no no no no

Tnaks are not dps. Everyone else should stick to and focus down targets. Tanks should be the person that goes for the person trying to focus down their ap, and forcing him to back down. As a tank, if you focus on just s single target, you will not be doing your job. You do almost no damage late game, but you can disrupt and control the dps when they try and kill your dps. That is your job.

[Boggart]

I need a new champion to learn. As much as I love Lux, I'd literally have to leave a ranked game queue if I weren't able to play her haha.
