Been playing for a solid 3 months, haven't gotten into ranked too much, played tons of dominion and now getting back into classic. Got a bunch of friends who play, all level 30 (like me). Mainly play Brand, Ziggs, and Jax but recently have been training with Caitlyn and Shaco. Feel free to add me and play anytime! Name is PineappleSteez
Used to play. But when my friend invited me to dota2, I stopped.

This, basically, except I was the first of my friends to get into the beta and I've been the one bringing my other friends in.
Dota 2 is that much better? They do have some pretty damn innovation champions (if that's what they are called), such as that new one (forget the name) which steals spells from enemies and uses it against them!
Meh. They are just transferring all the heroes from dota 1. I think it is easier to learn how to play dota through lol. dota 2 can be very harsh on new players. also it takes some time for people to learn how to play. better get ready to lose first 100 games :o.
You have to learn all the paths you can use to run away from your team mates, manage your gold carefully, and learn how to deny creeps.
Both games are different though they are in the same genre. Unlike lol, only a few heroes have escape abilities so positioning yourself is important. Also, losing your buildings will cost you more unlike lol since buildings do not re-spawn.
Also, you can stack creep camps for your carries to farm. I don't do it myself because I am lazy ;)
I used to play WC dota a lot, but haven't followed up anything since. Looks like some new stuff has come out?!
a lot of new stuff really. new items and new heroes and few heroes being totally reworked.
one thing I really like about dota 2 is the mute button. can mute annoying bastards with a single click :)
Me? Lol?
I used to be a diehard LoL fan but I've got to say that DOTA is by far the superior game
I play LoL regularly. More so than BM at this point.
What I like about LoL is that it is intended at least to be new player friendly. It has a wide spectrum of players and doesn't cater to only the high end.
Main character is Anivia, but I can play anything at this point and have played a lot of ranked.

one thing I do not like about lol is having so many heroes sharing similar spells. it seems all of their carries have aoe spells to farm. also I think they are releasing heroes too often. also, there aren't enough disabling items in lol which I understand since lol can pick two spells (some of them are completely useless) at the beginning.
for now I say dota is somewhat better. since they let you play all the heroes at least...
League of Legends = lol
mm I still play from time to time. It's still fun but gotta keep up with it. I prefer the old dota when it was back on WC but yeah doubt I could go back to playing dota.
I had my deep hopes that this place was a secure one, where i would never heard about LoL.
I HATE IT!!!
Last time i played was on February, and yes i rage-quit...
To hell with Anie bot!

Fiddlesticks eats Annie Bot
I'm pretty sure my Anivia mid destroys all.
(Hi, I'm froggen's smurf)
Good Day.
I haven't played in about a year but I always did the 130% crit chance Fiddlesticks which killed everything in about 3 seconds.
Here's an annoying video showing the spec off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0_x4lmDEK4
I don't know if it's viable now, haven't played in a year.
A friend got me into LoL recently.
I'll have to check out DOTA2 to compare.

I play dota2 Tom. If I happen to be around when you are playing dota we can play together :D
I play Leagues. Team Captain of Damage inc. My main is Warwick.
I play a lot of Warwick as well right now. Best game so far: 17 kills, 1 death. WW is a killing machine mid and end game. :-)
WW is beastly early levels too if you have good communications during ganks. Best game so far is 21/5/17. There was a 3/0/5 game a few days ago I was proud of.
Since my friends play it, I'm going to try it out soon.
Anyone still playing? I'm (surprise surprise) Lefanis. Mostly play with Gangplank these days.
If any of you noobs need your asses handed to you, I'll install this sprite game and whoop you!
You noobs plying LoL! Real men play Dota2! 8)
Haven't played in a while due to holidays and being busy, but theoretically, I still play. Main is Fiora right now, and if I get an early kill or two, she's a monster. I've got a couple quadra kills with her (no penta yet, unfortunately).

Btw Tom, Dota2 has officially launched :D And they added tutorials :)
Zaki: Not a fan of the Dota 2 graphics :P
I noticed in lol that the early kill or two really helps, especially for the tanks. Been most successful with Sivir, Lux, and Zac, though i had a great game with Gangplank as well (18:3:2).

I'm not that familiar with LoL-"champions" as I come from a similar game, the most awesome and much more skill demanding Heroes of Newerth, but the last time I checked tanks require for you to either have a way to get aggro OR play against retards who actually attack the tank. Assuming that there will not be more than a handful of champs with a skill to get aggro (and a handful is a lot), this leads me to conclude that if in fact you can play with tanks in LoL, this game is just filled with noobs! In other news, don't focus the tank.
come play dota 2 which is similar to HON but better in everyway ;D they even have some of the same heroes.. but with better balance
LOL players here still exist haha, I made a newer account so ill be getting back into the game.
I tend to play only classic Dominion and the new one well their interesting.

Nah, you need to play the game to understand the roles of everyone.
I do play a few tanks (Cho or Rammus) every now and then when I want to relax (my mains are all assassins, and that requires more concentration).
The basic principle is always the same: You are the tank, you go in first. Of course the enemy doesn't focus you ("don't focus the tank!") that, exactly is what allows you to go and wreck havoc. While they are busy ignoring you, you go and kill their ADC. That works great with my Cho build, which is an off-tank build. When I reach the ADC, I trigger my ultimate and ooops, was that half your health bar? :-)
Playing off-tanks is great fun in LoL. Either they focus you, then you're the only one who can actually take it (when I'm on a roll, I can tank the entire enemy team for a frustratingly long time) or they ignore you and you can get free kills. Either way, you win.
I usually play for a few months, ragequit for a few months, then start playing again after I forget why I ragequit . I played Jax/Xin/Olaf in 3s before the revamp.
A major turnoff the game has for me is that, in my experience, the winning team is just the team with fewer feeders/leavers. Which means that I almost never have close games. For me, it's always just one team completely pummeling the other team for 20 minutes, or even less. Not so bad being the pummeler, less fun being the pummelee.
I think Cho is my 2nd favorite tank, behind Leona.
Yeah, that's what pisses me off as well. Especially in ranked solo, I have almost never won or lost because the team was better/worse. Most of the time, it's a dice-roll about who has the troll this game.
Cho is tons of fun. I have a troll build for him that ends with more than 10k health. Too bad the meta right now makes almost everyone buy BORKs. Before that, the build was actually viable.
I love Zac. Bring on the blobs!
Though I haven't been playing that long and I like watching the pro scene matches more than actually playing myself.
It's been weeks since I played, and I'm actually reluctant to start again.
Hi there, gold 2 player in promotion here. I main adc, but love to play any role. If anyone needs help with becoming the pummeler every single game, add me in-game. Name: Watly. I'll give some tips to advance and become better.
So I love ARAM, great mode. However, last night I was in an ARAM match as fiddlesticks. Respawned, and then my team got wiped. Enemy team (all five) starts whaling on our outer turret. I sneak into the bushes and then ult out onto them, and quickly pick up a quadra kill. As I'm about to finish their fifth, GP spawns, and drops his ult on their last champ, and last hits him, denying me my penta..... So pissed. Screwed with him the rest of the match. Stole the health pickups while at full health from him and stuff, felt mildly vindicated. Even the enemy team gave him hell for it.
poppy, wukong, gangplank and Kennen
Sometimes I jump on some caster, but rarely Brand and Viegar

Gotta love GP ;D Usually go with Morgana these days though.
Well who actually plays maybe we can get a team together and power through
