I'm only playing practice games until I figure out what I'm doing. I'm also being very cautious not to overextend.

Actually disappointed not to kill more, frequently getting in stun's and knocking champions down to 10% health before they get away, just my noobishness holding me back

Err as it wasn't mentioned, it might be a good idea if we all got on the North American server. When you signup it asks you whether Europe or N.America is closer so you can choose it there.

After an hour on the losing end of my first 5x5....

"Ow".

4/20/2.

You'd think having died 20 times, I'd have noticed, but.... is there any way to tell how long you are going to be out of the action?

So it's not possible to interact between servers?

[Amelia]

Nope it's not... and i heard that the Europe server isn't that good anyway (although it's easier for Europe members to get money related goods)

I made an account on the NA server using my secondary user name "Bottenskrap".

Played a pretty fun (for me, at least) game with Cull and Roland. I racked up 19 (I think?) kills, but never got a Kayle or Shen ult to protect me.

[Sandover]

Clearly I need to come and heal you with Taric! Ryze turned out to be too much of a one-trick pony so I went back to playing support. No matter what game I play I always end up being a healer sooner or later.

I finally made an account with the usual username.

In my defense, every time that occurred my computer was so lagged (graphically / processing) that by the time I could get the spell off, the battle had already unfolded and my computer was playing catch-up. Kayle's ultimate lasts 3 seconds at the top tier. It takes me approximately 1-2 seconds to react when the time is required. However, when it takes 5-6 seconds for my computer to catch up, it's already way too late. I died more a few times because I couldn't throw up ANY skills, and by the time I realized they had switched to me I had gone from near-full health to a grey screen - while my health bar took 5 seconds to catch up. :P

I can't make any excuses for Shen. Myself, though... I'm mostly hampered by graphical slowdown (which stems from an outdated CPU). Until I save up the cash to build a new, high-end rig (as is my plan for Christmas) I'm stuck suffering through it. In smaller matchups, I can save people with the best of them (not that I'm the best - just better than most noobs ). However, in those extreme 5v5 battles my computer just crumples and I'm left picking up the pieces WELL after the battle is over.

Full disclosure, and all that. Up to you if you want to continue to game with me. No hard feelings if you prefer the company of more elite (and better-equipped) players. I do my best with what I have, and strive to always learn from each battle and game.

BTW - Even though we lost, that was a reasonably fun game. It's a little disheartening at times to always be on the low end of the spectrum (by the time the game is over I'm usually just hitting halfway through my item build - atrocious! :P). However, it is fun to enjoy the company of other skillful players - even if they spend half the time complaining.

I look forward to many more games with you, Speaker - if you'll have me. Maybe next time I'll go back to Akali - easier to be a chaser, especially post-battle. Although I'm enjoying Kayle, as well. We'll see. The more I play, the more I can unlock, the more I can experiment. Now if only I had better hardware...
