So I've been playing a bit of League Of Legends lately, a DoTA inspired MOBA type game. It's been allot of fun, but on occasion you get a bit of this;

"Sadly the community's patience for new members is, for the most part, nonexistent. While learning to play the game, be prepared to hear derogatory comments left and right. The use of the "r" word is, for example, more frequent in this game than such classics as "is, a, the, and it". Perhaps most annoyingly, be prepared to be blamed for others mistakes, by those not big enough to admit their own wrongdoing, innocent as it may be. Really the only significant thing wrong with League of Legends are the people playing it, but we can't really blame the game for creating such a passionate fan base, for better or worse."

Still enjoyable one might get a few events of this;

And ofc, time for some lore... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebJR2lBZsOc

Enjoy. I'll get back to my lane...

Played it for two weeks several years ago. Fell victim to the only gaming community I have ever seen that is populated by more assholes than eve. The game itself was ok, (from what I remember), but playing in random matches, not with people you already know, is likely to leave you emotionally scarred. So not something I'm likely to pick up again. But from what I've heard of other peoples experiences, once you have a bit of practice and experience it can be good fun.

I play LoL extensively (1850 ranked in Season 1), and I pretty much second Kala's comment - this game really does have more asshole than EVE.

That being said, it is absolutely amazing to play with friends.

I ended up playing RoI over winter due to Steam and got hooked on it.

Myrhial keeps poking me to play LoL instead, I'll get around to it...

Tried LoL some time ago but didn't liked it, but heard abit about this kind of behavior

RoI might have less assholes in it though, haha. But yeah, I'm having fun with it, I just totally flat out ignore what others say.

And well, there'll be DOTA 2 soon enough (wish I had a beta key), can just go and play that if it proves to be more satisfactory.

I've played a fair bit of LoL, and it's quite enjoyable if you either A: Play with a couple friends or B: Tune out the thundering retardmobiles. Or C: Both.

[Mizhara]

And since I know I'm insanely competitive in a lot of these games, this is why I'll -never- play League of Legends or any other of these games.

I will confess that LoL can be somewhat rage-inducing at times .____.

Blizz DOTA out soon too, definately playing that one.

RoI has a few assholes, the ones that whine if you happen to think the same thing they do and suddenly they don't get maximum xp from killing creeps.

Reppy and Inara had me playing LoL for about a week. Not really my thing (RTS generally aren't), but I did have fun playing with people I knew.

[Wanoah]

I played HoN once. It was the worst game I have ever played, and I've played Final Fantasy X.

[Victoria Stecker]

Eh, the LoL community wasn't half as bad as the original DotA community on BNet. And IIRC, the majority of the assholes from DotA went to HoN rather than LoL, so I actually found the community to be an upgrade.

I also found the game highly addictive, not sure why I stopped playing... I think EVE might have had something to do with that. Haven't played in a long time but last time I did, I found that my Veigar was still a fucking boss.  Need to get back to that game... someday.

X was fine.

X-2 however.... *shudder*

Maybe we should set up a channel for people who play? May be an issue due to servers though. I can start up an Inspiracy group on EU West if anyone else plays there. My playing atm is like once in a blue moon though, so if someone more active wants to do it then be my guest.
