Jack, I haven't been avoiding you when I'm on League, I've just already been in games w/ Phil and I can only usually play a couple a night.
As do I, but only until I unlock Akali. Then begins the long road to learning to play the game properly at all, haha~
*High five* Easy character to pick up, great killing power. Favorite characters would be: Annie Malphite Ashe Master Yi I would have better ones on my list but I am a level 8 noob saving up IP. I must say though LoL is the first game that made me want to give them money in less than a week.
Veigar says hi when I one shot you with my Primordial Burst due to your lack of magic resist and high AP .
Here's a site that will help new people http://solomid.net/guides.php Try to find the top rated/sponsored guides, they're almost always right. Leaguecraft is garbage except for a few (Hyfe's Nasus guide come to mind) and Mobafire is too (the pro-written guides come to mind) Once you learn to play you'll realize most items are situational but for now these builds will help you. Akali is a very rune-dependant champion early-game so you'll need to buy her runes for her passives. http://solomid.net/guides.php?g=1785 Those runes should do it. I think you get both your passives at level 2 or 3 if you start boots on that build.
Oh man, I'd love to play Quake Live with some of the good MNC players. On a related note, why can't Russians play LoL? As soon as I see a name with those weird cryllic characters, they always go 0/10/0, and bitch all game. Makes me mad.
