    Game: League of Legends (It's free!)

    Hereby referred to as LoL.

    Anyone playing this? It's made by the same team that produced DotA back in the day which was a mod for WC3. This is a standalone game however, and it's free. That's right, free! It's also similar gameplay style to Demigod, but I'm not sure how many people actually played that.

    For the uninitiated, you have a hero, you're on a team of 5 allied heroes and you're facing a team of 5 opposing heroes. Each team has a base on opposite sides of the map with towers in between them. The objective is to slowly make your way to the opponent's base and destroy it, having to get through enemy heroes and towers on the way. There are AI controlled minions that are constantly streaming from each base and clashing to form battles which you join as your hero. As you kill minions, enemy heroes and destroy enemy towers you gain gold which you use to buy items. Pretty simple eh.

    There are around 40 heroes to choose from, and for those who used to play DotA but didn't like the various imbalances involved, LoL is a major step in the right direction and has the balance pretty well down.

    As you continue to play you gain points which allows you to unlock other things in the game, like runes which give you added bonuses as well as some other stuff. It has a pretty good leveling system and I find that the game matchmaker usually gets it right for putting inexperienced players against others of the same level.

    If you're interested in playing, you can help me out by clicking my referral link which can give me rewards if you like the game and keep playing.

    If you already play or sign up in the future, leave your username here. We can hopefully get some 5-man games going. My username is cmdrraven .

    I'm playing this too, it's really cool

    even though
    There are around 40 heroes to choose from
    is not really true because you have to unlock them first
    which will take months.

    the cool thing about this game is that teamplay is *everything*.
    there's no way you can win a match if you play all by yourself. you really have to play *with* your team... trapping enemy heroes, help them retreat etc.

    and it's really great for beginners because it has a tutorial and recommended item-builds
    so even if you haven't played DotA, you won't have problems to use ur hero and play your role in a match (tank/fighter/burst/support etc)

    my username is KrayZee and my summoner name Snipah (I believe you need the summoner name to add someone)

    Played this in the beta but didnt really like it that much, felt too dumbed down from the DotA i used to play.

    Currently playing Heroes Of Newerth instead of both LoL and DotA. It's a direct DotA clone with a new engine alot of new features and very active developers, it's currently in closed beta but i think i have an invite or two to give out if people are interested

    Here's an older trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6s5lIA2gUY

    Well, never played any dotas, but this game looks fun. I'm about to boot her up.

    It's 25 in HoN just like dota, many heroes, spells and items have been directly converted.

    I added him fine via his summoner name. Not sure why you're having trouble.

    You are correct, but it still doesn't change the fact that you can choose between 40 characters. You just can't play them all up front (unless you buy the game).

    Just started playing this too. Do you guys have a favorite Champion so far? It's a tie between Master Yi and Ashe for me.

    Master Yi is probably the strongest when playing 1v1 and targeting low health champions.

    Nunu, Rammus, Dr. Mundo are great too though

    and the new hero poppy has some really strong skills too

    Mundo goes where he pleases.

    I have 3 main characters I rotate between depending on the team I'm playing with...
    Teemo, Taric and Karthus.
    I like Teemo the best though, as it's fun to make people rage when I do hit and runs.

    I always wondered about the cooldown of his throwing-skill? he keeps throwing his axes like they grow on trees.

    tried it.
    apparently my internet connection (or my computer, or the OP, so something) can't handle the game. I can't move past the tutorial.

    well, it's for the best, anyway, I don't study enough as it it now.

    sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    Yeah, he's pretty OP, well at least some people seem to think so on the forums.
