League of Legends

For those of you unaware of what League of Legends is, in the words of Riot Games, the developer of the game: 

 

 

League of Legends is a fast-paced, competitive online game that blends the speed and intensity of an RTS with RPG elements. Two teams of powerful champions, each with a unique design and playstyle, battle head-to-head across multiple battlefields and game modes. With an ever-expanding roster of champions, frequent updates and a thriving tournament scene, League of Legends offers endless replayability for players of every skill level.

 

 

The game is Free to Play, and averages 27 million players every day. Players earn Influence points for playing and doing well in-game, which can be redeemed to unlock more than 100 Champions and game altering runes. Additionally, through Microtransations, players can unlock champions or various other unlocks. A rotation of champions is constantly offered to all players that are Free to Play, without having to be unlocked. Every Champion has a unique set of abilities and play-style, which players try to use to their best ability in conjunction with other players on their team. Players can team up and go head to head, or play against a team of developed AI.

A decent connection and a good computer are suggested for playing League of Legends. Playing with other forum members when first starting out would be a good idea, as teamwork and playing a variety of champions is a great way to learn the game. For those that wish to help out a fellow summoner, you can sign-up here, ( http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?ref=536fc60f0c909368718848 ) which will give me some in-game credits once you reach certain levels.

Favorite Champions: Nasus, Katarina, Master Yi

 

Nasus is the champion I first bought. This Off-tank has some highly unique abilities that lead to a high risk, high reward game. You NEED farm to do well, because you Q ability is quite literally infinite damage. Killing anything using that ability gives it +3 damage, for up to infinite stacks. You start out with that ability being weak and ahving a long cooldown, and you need it to farm a bunch, which is hard considering most other off tank's abilities aren't built to be weak early game. However, you've got a great slow that can shut down any AA carry, you've got an AOE damaging ult that also gives you moar armor and health, and you've got a damaging ability that can do so much damage late game that it negates the need to buy any Attack Damage items, allowing you to buy everything that sends your HP through the roof. It's mana drain is low, and by late game the cool down will be low enough that you can spam all your abilities.

 

Katarina, spin to win. Nuff said. No mana, all fun.
