New to LoL, trying to move over from DotA

[quote=masaaki14]Ah i see. Right now you only have Annie right? [b]450 IP[/b] [[Garen]] is a really strong champion that has annoyed me in over half my games, He has Jug's spin, and something similar to Necro's ult, and 2 other easy to understnad skills. [[master yi]] is a strong Assasin / Fighter that works well in the jungle. Very simple skill but strong skills, but suffers a little from squishyness (can be fixed by build) [[warwick]] is a sturdy tank / fighter that has passive lifesteal and pudge's ult. Simple to use and can be strong. However, i don't see him much in my games so he might be out of meta (not that i care at this point) [b]1350 IP[/b] [[taric]]. Easy to understand, strong heals and a point and click stun. Useful as a support. [[Jax]] is similar to Yi, but he is more of a fighter while Yi is more like an assassin. Aoe stun, attack reset and a skill that resembles blink strike from PA and Riki, plus a strong ulti passive. [[malphite]] Super tanky, with a strong ulti. Play him top or as a support. [[teemo]]. Um, he was considered absolutely broken at one point, and is still strong now. irritating as hell if played well, His ulti is basically techies's land mines with a DoT instead of flat damage. People, especially new players, will keep walking into his mushrooms(literal mushrooms) and slowly die a painful death while you bathe in the glory of your kills. His difficulty in the wiki says 6/10, but honestly it should be a 1/10. And no i don't play teemo, haven't got him. Only played against a few and hated every one of them, because i am the only one that gets wards. [[tryndamere]] is extremely strong, especially lategame. His ult gives himself shallow grave, he has a gap closer, a damage buff(think huskar), a attack speed slow / MS slow and no mana costs. [[tristana]] is a strong adc marksman. With sniper take aim for most of her abilities as well, clinkz strafe, gap closer that slows, SK's passive with an active component, and a knockback ult.[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu][quote=masaaki14]6 more levels to go. Question, I'm planning to get shyvana as my next champ for jg, is she any good now? I mean, i did hear that Guinsoo is incredibly powerful right now, and the likes of Yi and Jax would be much better suited, both in JG and TOP. But, i really like shyvana's playstyle more than Jax and Yi[/quote] [[Shyvana]] probably relies more on the team and is tankier than [[jax]] and [[master yi]] who can solo carry. I'd save the IP though, since you need proper runes for jungling etc anyway. [quote=TheSofa]Level 5 rn, unlocked [[Annie]] and one game short of 1350 IP. Which mushroom should I buy next? (Please don't laugh, my french sucks)[/quote] Save the IP until you get at least two full rune pages (tier 3 ones)[/quote]

[quote=masaaki14]Thanks Jani. I did think about runes but thought i could wait on runes because i've tried both Yi and Shyvana in the jg when they were out on free rotation, but i'll rethink about it again. Getting IP without boosts is so slow here tho, less than 100 IP for most my games.[/quote]

I recommend saving for runes (not spending any for champions etc.) and you'll two runes pages in no time :^)[/quote]

Really not worth it.[/quote]

[quote=masaaki14]i saved up to 3k now, after buying [[ahri]], and a few 450 champs, and almost completing rune page 1. But you need at least 16 champs to get into ranked if i remember, the game won't let you join ranked unless you have enough champs.[/quote]

[quote=Devampi][quote=Janitsu] Save the IP until you get at least two full rune pages (tier 3 ones)[/quote] for the "standard" rune pages you need around 9000 (I believe around 88XX) since they put perma discount on the standard runes (armor seals, MR glyphs, AD and AP quints AD and MPen marks) however after that you probably want some more role focussed pages (and more pages)[/quote]

[quote=TheSofa]Hi all, Thanks for all your tips. I've thought it through, and I decided to buy one more mushroom, before I save up for all the runes and stuff. It is around 9000 IP, which will take me about 50 games. So... does anyone know how long it takes to reach lvl 20? So I know how much IP I can spend on mushrooms before I have to spend on runes? Thanks, TheSofa P.S. I bought [[Teemo]][/quote]

[quote=masaaki14]I started playing around 15-16 Oct, and now level 24. reached level 20 about a week ago, so around a month to reach level 20? assuming average of 3-5 games a day? ps: you really like techies don't you? anyways, play teemo like a techies with right click and a ms buff, he's honestly stupid as long as you can dodge CC skillshots.[/quote]

[quote=TheSofa]That's average? Wow... I guess I'm not average. I still have school and what not, can only probably manage 6-10 games a week. :c[/quote]
