If I have an open spot, I'll usually carry around a potion or two, even in the late game. They are so cheap, and maybe they will be the difference between dying, or barely surving that last damage over time spell (Ignite?) that is about to finish you off. If you don't use it, and want to buy an item for that spot....oh well, you lost 12 gold. Not a big deal.

Elixors are amazing. Mid to late game, when the next team fight might decide the game, a Fortitude and Agility elixor might give your carry the edge needed to flatten the other team and then grab baron or push an inhibitor.

Early game, they are a much riskier proposition, for sure.

I finally sent most players here an ingame friends-request. If someone don't mind to play with a complete noob - well, here I am

Thanks to all which played yesterday with me. It was fun - well, except for the last game when I tried to play Taric and ended up feeding the enemy team.

Btw: Is it due to my bad eyesight (I am practically blind on my left eye) that I am sometimes losing where my character is in team-fights or does that happen to others as well?

Happens to me sometimes as well, especially when I am playing a melee champion and stand in the midst of battle when all sorts of attacks and spells go off.

That being said, as I play more games I don't feel that "lost" in the middle of a team-fight anymore. I think this is due to the fact that my brain is gradually beginning to recognize abilities and starting to order them according to which champion they belong to.

To what extent bad eyesight on one eye would play a role I am uncertain. But that it should get clearer after some more games I am sure of.

Happens to me all the time.

Note that you can try:
a) Spacebar, to recenter the camera on your champion
b) Y, which toggles the camera to lock on your champion.

I played a large chunk of the opening with the camera locked once, and had a miserable time. For short bursts? maybe.

Why exactly is the Teamspeak server called the Reb and Yank server? Is there some relationship that I'm missing?

[Krill]

The clan that Mookie and others started all those years ago was called Reb and Yanks (or RaY). Just haven't changed the name at all yet

Right. Several things go back to Civ4 MP. The names of many of the channels are inside jokes to various MP occurrences. Players who use different LoL handles (like Metallian) still use their Civ names on the TS server...

After that disaster last game, I won't play anymore until I figure out the cause of this problem.

Its getting ridiculous. Moving takes minutes. Buying still works. Typing does nothing. All I could do was stare off and buy items.
