League of Legends Team of the Heapers' Hangout forum
Myself and a couple people (notably Prof Gator) have expressed an interest in putting together a casual LoL team for the purposes of...well, casual LoL playing.
Because the game is pretty tightly-structured, we do have to be careful about who gets what role. If you're not familiar with MOBAs make sure to look up LoL's champion roles and check below to make sure there's not much overlap (ideally, there shouldn't be any). After we earn more IP points, we'll be able to unlock more champions and it will matter less.
Of course, none of us are actually any good at this game, so it will likely be a mess. But as I understand it you get IP for losing too, so it shouldn't matter too much. We need about five people for a team, as well as a generally agreeable time to play together.
I am still not entirely clear on LoL's character roles, so please discuss your choice of champion before finalizing your pick. You can't switch it out (ignore the free champions, those are for people who are not us).
Currently we need a Tank, a Support, and like....a something else.
Signup Instructions, Current Roster is below.
1. Go here
2. Sign up for an account and download the client
3. Complete the tutorials
4. Spend the 450 IP doing this gives you on a starter champion.

Roster:
Mojave Music -- Warwick (Jungler / Offlaner)
Prof Gator -- Ryze (Disabler)
saladofstones -- Ahri (Midlane Carry)
Pyridrym -- Soraka (Support)
unclaimed -- (Tank)

As far as tanks go, I'm awful at initiating so I can't do anything with that but I like sneaky bastards.
I've played a handful of DOTA2 and LoL bot matches, Pyridrym plays DOTA2, and Gator has never touched a MOBA in his life. This is very much a n00b team.
here I was hoping you were signing up :/
And also, despite being superficially in the same genre, LoL and Awesomenauts are quite dissimilar.

If we don't get a Tank by then we can just add in a bot or let some random join.
Salad will be unable to join us, so we may try a 3 on 3 match if possible
What you'll wanna do is download the client and run through the tutorials so you get enough IP to buy your first champion. Unlike in DOTA, you don't just get all of them off the top (which I actually sort of like since it gives a feeling of overall progression, but opinions vary).
Currently we need a tank, so any character with the "Fighter" description would be awesome. If you wanna pick something else though I'm sure we could work something out.
We're gonna be playing a game at 8 or 9 tonight again, will you be there?
I don't know what that is in what timezone you're in, as I don't know what timezone you're in. ok.
Hm, now we have the problem of potentially too many people.
You get no IP for that though I don't think. Plus people are often busy so there's no reason we can't have more than five. Just follow the posted instructions.
So you guys need a tank? How do Kayle or Warwick sound?
After winning your first match or two you'll have enough to get Warwick if you're still interested tho.
Warwick's also not really a tank. You'll have to save up IP for her, I think she's pretty expensive.
6300 IP or 975 Riot Points
That agree with anyone else's schedules?
you guys could always do it without me obviously, but assuming you're banking on my involvement
Mojave Music you here?
