I just added you. You should have an invite from me next time you log in

awesome. Don't know why we didn't do that sooner. Talked about it enough here. I find that it's a lot more fun when I have people to play with. Before my old computer was destroyed I had a whole group of people I was playing with every night, and they all seem to have stopped playing in the time between when my computer went down and when my new one came. It's taken some of the fun out of the game for me.

I love Nocturne's ult

It's like a mini TF ult

Have any of you guys played Lord of the Rings: Guardians of Middle Earth? I'd seen a few ads, but I had no idea that it was a MOBA until I saw it on sale on Steam today. I watched a couple reviews online which are all around 7ish out of 10. Not sure if I'm going to bother either way, but I'm curious about how it is regardless.

A buddy of mine bought it n said it was pretty crAppy

Do you know for what platform? Evidently it's advertised as the first console MOBA, and because of that has basically been designed to be played with a controller. I think if I were ever going to do it I'd still do it on my PC though. It just seems like it'd make more sense if I have the option.


It's a shame that it isn't great. The Lord of the Rings license has such amazing potential, and I don't feel like its ever really been fleshed out the way it could be. At least not in the LotR games I've played. I heard the RTS was really good, but I never got a chance to try it. I wish it was on Steam. I'd be all over it.

It was on xbox. N wat u guys think of tryndemere. Wats the best way to build him

Trynda usually builds a lot of damage and crit strike

This is because his rage gives him crit strike, so he can stack even more to ensure crits almost, which deal a large amount of damage, with some damage to keep him alive in teamfights longer

A standard Tryndamere build would probably be something along the lines of

Berserker's Boots
Infinity Edge
Stattik Shiv or Phantom Dancer
Maybe a Bloodthirster
Maybe a Youmuu's for the extra armor pen and crit strike
And then something like a Warmog's, Randuin's, Spirit Visage, etc. for health during teamfights

That's not the most popular Trynda build out there, it's just off the top of my head

Toast can u teach me to play riven?

Has anyone had this running properly under Linux lately? I've had some real problems on the occasions I've tried this past month (long load screen, then game freezes about 1 second into actual gameplay).

It used to run perfectly, too.

I've been reading that a lot of people have been having problems since the last patch. I can say with certainty that I've been experiencing more lag and just general slowdowns since I started playing with my new computer, which is really odd because twice the machine my old one was. I even tried turning all my graphics settings to low in game, and plugging my computer directly into the modem instead of using the wireless network, and it was still happening.

Have you checked out champion spotlights at all? Riot does videos for each champion on youtube where someone shows you each ability and talks about good situations for use, as well as general build info and tactics. Some of them are pretty outdated and there's no one right way to use any champ, but it's not a bad place to start if you're trying someone new. I'll usually watch them before I use a new champ, just to get some basic idea of what they're all about outside of just reading about their abilities/scaling on the wiki.

Sure, send me a message next time I'm on and we can start up a custom game.

The champ spot lights are how phreak plays and just a general idea

Oh toast do u have a headset

Champ spotlights should be good enough as long as you know their scaling/cooldowns/stats. Really you need to know your own + team + enemy abilities and how they can work in tandem, so learning to play an individual hero is a function of what items make sense based on the role you're taking (some champs are more versatile than others).

You can go a long, long way in the MOBA genre just by moving intelligently/warding/having map awareness though . I would imagine you'd have to get reasonably high level before the typical way a team wins/loses is players getting caught out of position + killed, giving the other team the ability to push or take all of the middle objectives. The other common error I've seen a ton is teams in close matches pushing into enemy territory without aggressive wards and with all 5 heroes alive on the other side. This is a low % strategy; they can see you and you can't see them. Who do you THINK has the initiation advantage ? But it's still so typical to see it.

The correct thing to do in these situations is to ward the middle + middle approaches and control objectives to gain a gold advantage, pushing when you kill a few enemy champions or if they've somehow managed to give up baron buff etc. Convincing a team of players to do this is no small feat, but MAN can you get a lot of leadership medals when you manage to do so <3.

The spotlights should be good, reading the top rated Mobafire build on Riven is a good idea too, it's got a lot of little tips and tricks on her that really help

I couldn't do much, it's not as easy to teach someone when you only have a bot to fight as a dummy

So wat do u think of master yi gentleman

I really like him. He's a fun glass cannon.

Champion spotlights are good if it's ur 1st playing that champion but if ur thinking of maining a champion you should watch how pro players play him like Im starting to main Leblanc i know her mechanics very well and i barely loses lane it's just knowing what to do and how to carry after the laning phase is over is a big thing u need to know with ur champion also Mobafire isnt the best place to look for builds u should try the solomid site should be better.
