League of Legends

Who's that Necromancer??? It's Dee!!!

I don't really frequent this thread much since I, for the most part, play the real MOBA game (just jokes :p). I plan to start playing this game over the weekend (for the 1st time). And as first timer I've been trying to read up on heroes, gameplay, items, game progression, player roles. To put it simply, I've trying to get a read on where it differs and where it's similar to Dota 2 in terms of mechanics (or to a lesser extent Infinite Crisis, but that game won't be a barometer until it actually gets released or goes into open beta). But I've figured just as Dota 2 was a daunting undertaking for me as a noob, LoL seems to be the same way, because there's a lot to sift through, and the only advantage I have, is that I've now got some MOBA experience behind me.

Anyways, I've got something like 1500 hours logged in Dota 2 (just over a 1/3 of those hours are from watching numerous Pro League and Tournament games in-client.), and I for the most part play support heroes and the support role, and my secondary being solo mid heroes. I'm not the best carry or tank, that's for damn sure.

With that little bit of info, what do you guys reckon is the best starting point in terms of heroes? And I wouldn't mind recreating my learning experience from Dota 2, as in joining a few of your games as a padawan :).

If you plan on playing support I would recommend either Sona or Soraka. Sona doesn't have any skillshots (besides her ulti) which makes her very easy to play. Soraka is probably the first support hero you'll want to pick up.

In terms of mid I would say Lux. Katarina, Annie, Teemo and Veigar. Pretty straightforward champs and all of them are relatively cheap.
 
It has been such a long time since I last played League - any major changes to the game? I'm considering trying it again for old times sake.

Skill icons are slightly different on some champions, a lot of the skills have been reworked slightly, improvements to the BOT AI, New game mode ARAM, some champions have different skins/reworked skins (Trundle's default is now a Yeti). Trinkets are new they can act like Wards, money generators or reveal hidden champions of objects.

It is still the same really, which is good. I am still grinding my way to level 30, I just recently managed to get tier 3 mana-regen marks.

Ok so not to much different. I was around for the new ARAM which was quite fun for a quick game and the the rework of Trundle (I'm a Trundle hipster since I played him before he was "cool"). Trinkets sound interesting though, might have a look at that.
 
Do you guys think there is any hope for a South African server sometime in the future? Or at least an African server?

Am I dreaming to much :D?

Funny how times have changed. I remember the days when NA LCS was a joke to watch. Nowdays, EU is so boring. NA LCS and LCK is worth. BTW - Bjergsen and ZionSpartan FTW. Korean's still in another league though. Faker senpai!

How's this for a young talented team?
- Top ZionSpartan
- Jungle Meteos
- Mid Bjergsen
- ADC Rekkles
- Support Aphromoo

When I take a respite from watching all the Dota 2, this is the team I follow, particularly those two players. Doublelift is also an interesting player. Mind you, I'm still barely that competent at LoL (as opposed to the other game) to give a really informed opinion :rolleyes:

Doublelift is amazing. And he is definitely entertaining to watch and listen to(Interview). He no more talks as much "trash talk" as he used to do but still a legend. Keep watching. You will be come very familiar with it quickly.
