Did I mention that Phnom Penh is one of my least favourite cities in the entire world. One funny thing, well I think it is funny, when I was there I ate at Lucky Burgers one day which is where that Australian picked up his drugs who was later put to death for smuggling in SIngapore or Malaysia. It wasn't lucky for him.

Your match history showed about 10 games yesterday you must have a very good connection which is surprising in Cambodia.

The learning curve is incredible. I did buy a $10 LoL card at the supermarket what champion shoould I buy? I like ranged champions that can farm and then do a big burst later on when you end up in team fights. As a useless noob I have enjoyed playing Ashe, Ryse, Sivir, Soraka and Vladimir. Twisted Fate and Miss Fortune seem very strong and both are so cheap I could get them with IP not RP.

I wouldnt buy champions with real money (RP). You gain IP every game you play so you can buy champions for free just by playing the game plus there's a free champion rotation that changes every week so you get some variety even if you don't own any.

Generally just use RP for buying new skins (or xp or IP boosts if you're really desperate)

Dam all this talk makes me want to play LoL, but i'll rather play Dota2.

Yodabig asked for some hints?

Each day, try to learn something new or develop a skill.

E.g week 1, just concentrate on last hits only.. don't worry about anything else not even spells... just worry about hits with your chosen hero. Obviously get use to both ranged and melee heroes. Last hits is a fundamental skill.

week 2, learn the terrain, know where all the shops are, know the passage ways to different points, learn how to position your hero, learn how long it takes to get from one place to another without item or speed boost / teleportation.

week 3, learn the hot keys for items and spells. choose one hero or a minute few a get use to that hero. dont worry about anything else but hot keys.

I have fiber in Cambodia so ping is same as Aussie to na. Just saw oceanic servers out though so no idea what that will be like for me.

I would recommend just trying characters to learn what you like, your tastes will change over time.

If you're into it, go to solomid(.com?) And read a guide for the character . the good ones will give you play style hints/roles for fights etc. No one likes an AP warwick

Thanks everyone for the tips.

Dire I just felt like I do with BB, I enjoyed playing the game for free and am happy to spend a few dollars to support it, not that they need my money being the top money making game in the entire world.

There are some good free champions every week and some good 450IP champions but I still want a "go to guy" for those times I just want to do one quick game to get my daily reward.

LoL is a free download and you don't need Steam which is like the biggest malware ever.

Learning to last hit is a really important skill. LoL must be different from Dota2 because your week two stuff doesn't really apply. It certainly takes a long time to become good at each hero as they have such different skills.

Sterling_Archer is isn't Dota2 but LoL.

I have read a ton of stuff on solomid and I also like the youtube guides although some people say very different things.

The way I play Warwick is as a jungler/ganker. I just run around the jungle and every so often pop out and gank someone. Mostly playing bots at the moment until I get my skills up and learn how to do things, wouldn't work against level 30 experts like you and Dire.

But be warned you cannot buy anything the shop is disabled and even in your profile you cannot buy champions.
