Original League of Legends (LoL) Thread

Muahahah, I am a ninja.

You made a better explanation though, much deeper, mine's the TL;DR version.
Also what's with log in queue time, mine was at 2 mins and now it's at 9 xD pretty sure it's not supposed to go up.

Edit: Yeah my postition in queue doesn't move and the time goes up every time the position re checks, I'm at 3760 and it looks like it's not letting people in anymore.

[spoiler=Analysis of Leona, the Radiant Dawn's abilities, in respect to tanking][Q] Leona's Shield of Daybreak:
45/50/55/60/65 Mana
12/11/10/9/8 sec Cooldown
Leona's next autoattack deals an additional 40/70/100/130/160 (+0.3) magic damage and stuns the target for 1.25 seconds.

One of her 3 CC abilities. It pretty much enhances her next autoattack to do more damage + stun the targeted enemy champion. In my opinion, this is best comboed with Zenith Blade to CC the target for at least a total of 2 seconds.

[W] Leona's Eclipse:
60 Mana
14 sec Cooldown
Leona raises her shield to gain 30/40/50/60/70 bonus Armor and Magic Resistance for 3 seconds. When the effect ends she deals 60/110/160/210/260 (+0.4) magic damage to nearby enemies and prolongs the effect for a bonus 3 seconds if any enemies are struck.

I find this skill similar to Rammus's Defensive Ball Curl - in terms of gaining armor and MR while the skill is active - but minus the "Thornmail effect". Once maxed out, this will give her the ability to have lots of damage mitigation, plus able to do a small burst AoE damage to any enemies around her once the 3 seconds effect is up. And the armor/MR gain effect prolong itself for another 3 seconds if she hits any enemies with her small AoE burst. I'd say this skill is a must have to use in any teamfight.

[E] Leona's Zenith Blade:
60/65/70/75/80 Mana
13/12/11/10/9 sec Cooldown
700 range
Leona projects a solar image of her sword which deals 60/100/140/180/220 (+0.4) magic damage to all enemies in a line. When the image fades the last enemy champion struck will be briefly immobilized and Leona will dash to them.

Until I get a closer look at her, I'll go out on a limb and say this is her initiation skill. If this ability is used on a single champion, it will pretty much stop him or her in place. And since it hits the last champion in line, I think this is a very good skill to target squishies. Since they are usually in the back, Leona can pretty much bypass the tanks - hopefully, if the skillshot is aimed correctly - and can go after the squishies, triggering a teamfight.

This ability is best used along with Shield of Daybreak [Q] ability because it will allow her to CC the targeted enemy champion for at least 2 seconds.

[R] Leona's Solar Flare:
100/150/200 Mana
105/90/75 sec Cooldown
1200 range
After a brief delay Leona calls down a beam of solar energy to deal 150/250/350 (+0.8) magic damage and slow enemies by 80% for 1.5 seconds. Enemies in the center of the effect are stunned instead of slowed.

Her signature skill, the giant AoE burst that Riot has been talking about for some time. Best used when the enemy is clustered together. Anyone that is in the center of the AoE burst will pretty much be stopped in their tracks. Either way, anyone who gets hit with this skill will be heavily CC'd as well as suffer a bit of damage.

If you can find a bunch of enemies clustered together and you drop this on them, you're pretty much good to go. And if you're able to stun any squishy carry champs, that's a plus.

Though IMO, that 80% slow is a bit too much. I think it could be toned down later on.[/spoiler]

 Possible items I may use on Leona

- Aegis of the Legion
- Mercury Treads
- FoN
- Randuins Omen
- Thornmail
- Banshee Veil
- QSS
- Frozen Mallet (works well with her Q)

So I'm assuming Leona will come out on...Tuesday?

So it's basically, in order of use in a teamfight....

W>>>E>>>Q>>>R>>>E>>>Q>>>W>>>Q>>>W>>Q>>>W>>>Q>>>W>>>Q (keep on repeating), E to chase a fleeing opponent if they're running away.

For her core...I suppose I'll get Mercury Treads (or Ninja Tabi), and Frozen Heart (cooldown is so long!). Several situational items include Sunfire Cape, Aegis of the Legion, Banshee's, Frozen Mallet, Force of Nature, Guardian Angel, Quicksilver Sash, Thornmail, Randuin's Omen...yeah.

I think I'll go 9/21/0, but I may go 0/21/9 if I have some slight mana problems.

They can activate Leona anytime they want, they're just gonna wait til they're sure the server's stable before they do it. So if everything goes well, we'll see Leona in the stores tonight

Anyone know how much she is yet?

Is Anyone else even trying to log in? the queue hasn't moved for almost an hour so I think it's just stuck XD, or maybe it's me.

I just wanted to go on for a quick custom to try out a new build for Sona I thought of ;_;

Uh I think you should edit out your info...fast.

Why? Apples is such a good name. And you don't like my 47 digit password?

Lol that looks... probably then thousand times safer than my password (so many characters, and guessing a random pass generator so caps and symbols and everything....). It's not like you can get much from a League of Legends account.... what are you going to screw the win/lose record? or maybe get a ban. You can start over at this game without much loss unless you miss your skins and stuff.

Anyway the queue is insane right now.

I'm lucky I just barely have 6300 .

It's funny that you say that when you even QUOTED the picture as well.

Why cut it when it's clear that (s)he thinks the info is safe enough, (s)he even said it again without the need of a picture.

What's Amumu's new skin?

What's Amumu's new skin?

Knight amumu It's pretty gosh darn hilariously awesome.

Want to see what his skills look like in it before I get it |:

Yup, servers have failed catastrophically.

I got a message in 4 different languages (lol EU much?) that said that servers are being brought down for maintenance.
MM has been disabled half an hour since the servers were up.
PvP.net has failed.
Shop has failed.
Custom games have failed cause PvP.net has failed.

I also heard rumors that Leona will be 3150 IP.

lol @ Amumu's misfortune xD

3 hour downtime according to estimatates made by an Riot employee. Whooohoo!! /sarcasm

They would release a 3150 tank when none of my accounts have any ip saved up on them. :/

I guess I can just get a card tomorrow after I stop by the bank in the morning. That is providing that our game is up and running by then haha.
