Yeah I've already talked to Jarvan about this, he didn't get what I meant if I asked if it was for his father the king.

I played about 30 minutes of DOTA 2. I guess that puts me somewhere in the little leagues of MOBAs.

I wouldn't mind playing.. but they Killed the name Jarvan for me in other games. It sucks.

SR got me into this game.. I'm having fun, but I stink at it. I bought Udyr and have been playing him mostly. I love his survivability, but he lacks a real knock out punch to get the kills up where I want it to be. A friend is playing Poppy and she seems OP against bots.

It takes a while to get the hang of the game.

I started playing LoL a few weeks ago (I used to play Dota and HoN) and so far have only really used Shen. He's pretty awesome. Some heroes just aren't meant to get a lot of kills, they're supposed to set the fight up so your teammates can get the kills.

yea, I think this is the case for Udyr... which I'm fine with.

Udyr is one of the best and fastest junglers in the game. His skillset makes him extremely flexible and fun. When do you guys usually play? Add me - tastyd

(I just learned about jungling today.... I thought those monsters in the jungle were there so if you ran into them, they just attacked you)

I've been playing at nights.. 7PM EDT - 11-12ish. Falgrin

I heard this game is really unfriendly to newbies so I put off playing it.

Am I missing out?

Very unfriendly towards newbies when you get into the higher levels. It's not too bad when you're first starting out but yeah, there are some real assholes at all stages of the game.

If you stick with just playing against bots until you get the hang out of it though it won't be so bad, no one cares about losing to bots and it's almost impossible to lose to bots, even if just one person knows what they're doing your team can usually win.

Haven't gotten a response from you in over a week when I send a message to you on LoL. What's going on?

Hrm... I play League... Not much skill to speak off past a 100% win rate in 3v3 ranked during the first season 3v3 was released......I played Mundo/Warwick. Funnnn. Forgot my username, I'll post it when I remember it. Would love to play with some people who like to have fun, and not rage at the screen.

If having fun for you is dealing with a n00b who gets tunnel vision as he is chasing a very low health champion in hopes for a kill.. until he dies of a stupid death... hit me up! Falgrin is my username. I still haven't found my favorite champion yet.

Anyone with qt at the end of their name should automatically be dragged out in the street and shot in the dick.

The person's name is tastYd, not tastQd.

And we're "playing" with Rennick (the guy's back must be sore as hell from carrying me) and Dora. Step it up.

He was talking about cokephoneqt - aka Rimalon.

But the optometrist photo was clever.

I was responding to him for offering to help/play with Rimalon who's name was cokephoneqt.

I apologize if I went too fast for you I was assuming your rascal batteries were charged.

I'm just glad we can have a discussion on how much of a qt Anticor is.

Signs point to a lot.
