WHAT IS THIS GAME

League of Legends is a free to play Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game. It's very similar to Defense of the Ancients (some of the people who worked on DotA made the game) if you're familiar with that game. If you're not, the game has you control one champion in a team of 3-5 other champions with the goal being to destroy the other team's base. It's probably easier to watch some gameplay videos to get an idea of the gameplay.

I was completely unfamiliar with this genre before I started playing LoL and thought it was kind of boring, but it's actually really fun when playing with friends.

WHO CARES

I know a number of people on IRC who play regularly, and it would always be nice to get new people playing. The game recently launched the start of its first competitive season so there are plenty of new people who are signing up and learning how to play. New champions are currently being added to the game about once every 2-3 weeks, so there's always something new to try out.

OK COOL HOW DO I SIGN UP

Signup Link | Referral Link (if you're cool)

I can get some neat in-game rewards if you use the referral link and decide you like the game. Or you can just use the normal link if you don't want to give me stuff. That is also fine.

HELP

If you need help or if you're looking for people to talk to/play with, you can reach me or some of the other players I know in #rtfo @ irc.psigenix.net

Oh yeah we also have a TeamSpeak server that we use while playing. It helps.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm going to be one of those people and just mention I prefer Heroes of Newerth over League of Legends, as its more in tune with how Dota is played. I've been in both beta's and that's just how I feel. However, if you guys are playing some LoL, I might join you from time to time.
Did I mention League of Legends is free to play? Dohohoho.

I never played DotA so I can't really make good comparisons, though I understand LoL is a little more casual than HoN. That suits me just fine, though; I don't want to worry about KDA all the time.

Double IP weekend is supposed to last until midnight Sunday (PDT) or so. They may end up extending it though, since their servers were acting up earlier in the day. The shop is still down until 12:30 AM PDT, so nobody can buy boosts.

There are technically some runes you can purchase with RP, but they are just basic ones that anyone can buy. The digital collectors pack (which has 20-something champions, some skins, and some bonus RP) has them as part of its bundle.

Riot's official stance is that they don't sell power, so I don't believe you'll ever see them selling special limited-edition runes or whatever that aren't also available for IP. The only true thing in this game is that the person with the bigger wallet has the snazzier-looking champs.

Also, my summoner name is Cow McTeats.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Really, Turbo?

Interest in this kind of game in this community is already low. Can't you just make a new thread if you really want people to play?

How ya doing, buddy?

Does LoL have an elitist community too?
All communities are elitist to some degree. If you're asking for a comparison between LoL and HoN's communities, my assumption is that LoL's is more forgiving due to its nature as a less hardcore game. LoL is designed to be more accessible, after all.

Of course, the only way to find out is to try it out yourself. You'll get your fair share of idiots as you gain levels, but I don't find the elitism obvious unless you're already high level or playing with smurfs.

Here are some streams of top-level play if anyone is interested in viewing it:
Counter Logic Gaming on Justin.tv
All or Nothing League of Legends Stream - live streaming video powered by Livestream
Livestream - cLGaming - The only site dealing damage in a cone!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Riot has just released the 57th champion, Galio. He's a mage/tank! Oooooo.

Galio, the Sentinel’s Sorrow – Champion Spotlight - League of Legends Community

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
