    League of Legends = Counter Strike + DOTA/Warcraft 3

    So I got into this game...
    and after reading thru much cussing and trash talking (mostly by young teens), it reminded me (not so fondly) of the teens with zillion hours of playing time. LOL

    I'm 39 and just don't have time for that much playing anymore... sheesh...

    That said, who's up for some? Add me (and mention Sharkys) on if you wish... proxopspete

    I can't stand these games because of the community.
    If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

    Oh come on now!! I'm 39 too!!! But yeah, it gets complex quickly because of so many possibilities of different champions and their different/similar abilities...

    I hate that type of stuff. I about destroyed my room a few times playing arena in WoW. I get too angry/intense when playing highly competitive stuff, so I steer clear. I enjoy coop experiences much more. The type of person that cuts 1-2 minutes off of speed runs are the same types that like to play those types of games. I have no interest in APMs, flow charts, and all that bother.

    The thing is you can play it very coop-like... if you can find 4 others that talk to each other and play as a team, it's very fun...

    I just wanted to rant, sorry for being too intense. As I said, I have bad memories of wow arena.

    I think that is true for any online multiplayer games... took me forever to get into CS/CS:S but in the end, it was the community that I found to be more amicable that took me in...

    I can't enjoy online games anymore. I only have time to sit down and play a game once every few weeks, so no matter which game I play online I'm simply not good at it. Playing against someone who is better can be fun, but losing every single round of every game by a long shot is just frustrating.

    It's single player for me, or splitscreen with a friend who is equally bad.
