Interesting. I'm going to keep thinking about this/reporting on it, but you've given me a lot to chew on already. Read more

I've never tried to hide the fact that I'm an inexperienced League player! Read more

I wasn't relating to IP directly, only in terms of the amount of time it'd take to unlock everything on a given account. If someone manages to play League long enough/consistently enough to get to that point, then I assume they weren't doing anything bad enough to get kicked out of the game entirely...no? Read more

That's what I'm here for! Read more

YES Read more

I did qualify that in my first impressions, yes, since I'm still too low of a level to even get into ranked mode. Still, I found it interesting since fears of toxicity seem like something that scares lots of people away from league/mobas more generally, you know? Read more

I've definitely noticed a strong in-game incentive against "whining in chat" as you said, yeah. Read more

I have no idea what fraction/percentage of the overall player-base is in the maxed-out position, but presumably if someone's managed to hold onto an account long enough to accrue that amount of stuff then they've probably also managed to play by the rules, no? Read more

For what it's worth, I've been playing it for roughly six weeks now (mostly in the past 2-3 weeks) and was extremely surprised/delighted by just how NICE the community is for the most part. Toxic players can easily ruin an individual game, but I've only encountered one or two genuinely toxic players over the course of… Read more

Why would someone not want influence points? They're the main way you can buy champions and skins without purchasing RP and therefore spending real money? I find your argument intriguing but I'm confused by that one point... Read more

Oooh, I'll definitely have to check the NYC group out thanks! It hadn't even occurred to me that League would have local organizations like Smash or many other games, heh. Read more

Thanks for the tip!! Read more

I chuckled! Read more

Thanks!! Will clarify. Read more

That's a great question I've been thinking about. I'm not totally sure yet, but I've heard that Heroes of the Storm is more casual-friendly than big MOBAs like League and Dota 2 are. There are also some mobile MOBAs, like Zynga's Solstice Arena, which I've heard is surprisingly good. Though to be honest I think the… Read more

I want to believe that they'd somehow make it work as well as Pikmin does as a console RTS, so yes I'd be fine with that. Read more

I played one of the most intense games I've had so far Sunday night and at one point four of us tried to do a base race right after an ace then starting getting a ton of pings from the last guy who'd stayed behind. Turned out we were so swamped that the MINIONS almost took our nexus. Somehow we won the game, against… Read more

Thank you!! Read more

This is the best comment ever. Read more

Oh god yeah, I had a whole section that was cut because this was already a bajillion pages about playing mid as Shyvana. It was SO SO SO bad Read more
