Its not denying. Its killing a minion of yours once every 30 or something seconds, and the XP difference is negligible.

As a player of both HoN and LoL, I have a few major gripes with LoL.

1) Blind Draft is the *only* mode that you can play, months after release. Its arguably the LEAST balanced game mode, since you can't counterpick, and yet we're forced into it. That's just retarded.

2) The concept of brush is fundamentally broken. Makes ganks too hard to stop, even if you know exactly where someone is.

3) Inventory - the fact that you can't drop or pick up items. Makes getting Elixirs and Wards late game unnecessarily frustrating.

Other than that its a pretty good game.

 

It's not really hard to see through brush if you just get Clairvoyance. The cooldown on that is ridiculously low as well so if you use it correctly then you'll see ganks coming a mile away.

As for the lack of deny, I kind of enjoy it. I'm just the kind of player that always prefers to go hero hunting rather than exp deny them through creeps. It was a fun concept back in dota, but it quickly got boring to me when games just became one huge deny-fest with little to no action early game.

 

Is there any game play changes for the seasons in Summoner's Rift or is that merely aesthetics?

 

Well, LoL isn't DotA

This game is made of win, I've been playing since the closed beta. My summoner IDs are Azereus and DialMforMonkey.

 

It used to be that the winter version had more brush than summer, but I think that was changed so they're both summer now.

So no.

Also, chaoticblues, I know that clairvoyance is a great spell. But you can't have it up every time that you're chasing someone, which causes a lot of frustration when you're clicking like a spaz in and out of the bush.

 

So, anybody else severely dislike Twitch? There's always two of him in every game...

 

He'll be gone when the new free champions come up. Oracle Potion + double team always seems to work lol.

For all those people in South East Asia (probably only me)

Yay for my bridge coach!

 

I swear, the games I lose (and I've lost a LOT) always start with the one guy who picks a good hero and then disconnects 5 seconds in.

 

Lol I shouldn't bitch but it just pisses me off. I miss the awesomeness of my first couple of games.

 

My summoner name is Oniluna, hit me up for some games

 

Happens to the best of us. TBH though, I'd rather they leave than be jerks and purposely run into enemy towers to feed .

Btw Kalas what's your in-game name?

 

This game is addicting, shame of all the nubs though. I just had a game where 1 of my team mates decided to farm the forest when he was at lvl 14 because he needed gold when we were defending base...sigh

 

Better than the game where one of my opponents charged a cannon, before the minions had even spawned yet, heck, the 30 seconds till message hadn't even come up yet.

 

Well, if you can get a good person to farm the forest from level 1 (it can be done with certain heroes like Warwick), your team will get more gold and experience than the other team, since it will allow for one more person to solo a lane. That said, it rarely works out in pubs and the person who farms the jungle shouldn't be doing that after a certain point (like when your base is being sieged).

 

I think Udyr could manage jungling with some prolific use of turtle stance.

 

He can do it with bear stance too, btw. Stun everything once, rinse, repeat. And with all the buffs to phoenix it's even easier.

As far as junglers go, though, Fiddle and Nunu are pretty awesome.

 

And I'm really far from the best ahaha. Unassuming would be the name to add.
