I remember playing runescape when I was the wee ol age of 12.

Then somebody asked for my password, so I gave it to them and lost the account. Cried for the rest of the day.

addiction is probably based more on personality than the game itself

mmorpgs are by nature stupid addictive

if i didnt have asian go-study-son parents i probably would have spent a literal half of my early highschool years playing freaking maplestory of all things (back in scania/bera days, when levelling actually felt rewarding), so im very grateful to them for that

 

[Leisha]

Apparently my friend told me its easy to lvl to 100 nowdays. All that work into my lvl 136 hero for nothing.... LOL.

LIFE WASTED T_T

yeah i heard my friend got to 70 in 2 weeks of casual (as in <1 hour a day) playing

pissed me off somewhat

 

[Leisha]

I remember it used to take at least a month to get to 50 with a decent amount of commitment.

Guess they casualsed it.

 

[Redact]

im willing to join in on any aus inhouses (someone will need to let me know through steam/irc/whatever)

ill bring the trash talk along with most of the skill (shaya isnt bad i guess)

 

[xXArrowXx]

i am keen and bad

 

[Rad]

At the moment we have like 6-7 people showing interest only. Is there anyone else, or should we just give up on today?

You can add me in game: Rad3n

 

[Shaya]

Threes in house? lololololololololololololololol

 

[Forte4Tei]

super super keen on any IH going on

IGN is FortePP

 

[Invisi]

Just curious - I assume you guys use voice communication when playing?

 

[Redact]

dota players can communicate telepathically

 

[Forte4Tei]

years of typing on dota/LoL have served me well in uther/raynor party typing mini games

 

[iKiLLOTz]

Just curious - I assume you guys use voice communication when playing?

It helps. ALOT

 

[Redact]

24 hour dota 2 matenence = Lets have some lol inhouses tonight

yer? yer!

 

[xXArrowXx]

k lol, crawling back. =P

 

[Redact]

its like when i cant play melee for some reason i'd probably play 64

lol looks like a 64 game hey rofl

 

[asianaussie]

lol i wish that was an apt comparison

 

[Shaya]

It kinda is.
Smash 64 is better than melee.

 

[SethT]

It kinda is.
Smash 64 is better than melee.

who are we kidding here? also better then brawl.

 

[Pete278]

He meant Superman 64, which is a better comparison to LoL

 

[Splice]

He meant Superman 64, which is a better comparison to LoL

I read it like that as well.

 

[Rad]

Who owns the new champ? I haven't seen him much. Hard to say if he's good.

 

[SethT]

I find him really annoying to lane against in top lane. His armor ability lasts way to long imo and when he gets to higher levels its fking hard to bully him out of lane.

Only played against him once though so v__v

 

[Invisi]

You'll often see him using his grab, comboing into his slow, very devastating if he's got a teammate or two with him, in which case you're pretty much dead. He also has a lot of things that can really destroy late game team fights.

If you play a ranged character, you can outlane him early game by sticking behind your minions to avoid the grab, and poking him when he gets too close. He's not actually that bulky early game, so after enough poking you should be able to chase him down for an early kill.

I'm probably just stating what everyone knows, and there is no need to point out my noobiness that I am already aware of =)

 

[SethT]

I saw him as support today in ranked, real strong and just ***** out bot lane so hard.

 

[Rad]

Dear Ad3pt,

Do you hate us?

Love, NSW

 

[Aussierob123]

As much as I enjoy playing LoL, the competitive metagame is soooo boring.

 

[Rad]

what do you mean by competitive metagame?

 

[Shaya]

Just about every character is actually viable or very close to viable, it just requires good team synergy, etc etc.

Katarina bottom tier?
Who cares if you have good front line burst and you use her for clean up.

 

[Aussierob123]

Competitive metagame I mean the general structure and flow of a competitive match. It's always jungler, off tank/tank top, ap mid and support AD range bot. And it's slow, a few ganks and then baron + win. I love playin pub where people do whatever lol but I don't enjoy that if we wanna play a real serious game that is the setup we have to follow.

 

[Invisi]

There's nothing stopping you from following a different setup, just like there's nothing stopping you playing Ganondorf.

 

[Redact]

There's nothing stopping you from following a different setup, just like there's nothing stopping you playing Ganondorf.

I dont think you know what metagame is if youre saying that. The meta game for lol is very samey and gets stale theres no debate, its one of the main reasons I just cant watch lol in comparison to hon/dota

 

[Shaya]

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about redact, lol.

Then don't post in the thread.

 

[Redact]

Wait I cant talk about the lol metagame in the lol thread? Sorry man ill make a lol metagame thread instead

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about redact, lol.

Yeah I guess all those streams ive watched along with vods werent actually samey. Thanks for telling me what I saw.

 

[Shaya]

At any one given time there are general trends / play styles / "meta" that you'll see, but these shift around quite often.
If you're only watching american streams then you're missing out on what the asians/europeans are doing, which for almost the entire life span of League have always been different.
