Yeah, that video was really nice. Sometimes I want to try LoL just because of Jinx and IV, but then I remember that you have to buy heroes. Don't really hate their design choices like no denies, but paying for heroes it's a no-no for me.
Since you probably understand zoning and such at this point you'll catch up as soon as you learn the champions movesets and either look up some item builds or actually learn what's in the shop.
Plus wards are so cheap that a lot of (good) carries buy their own.
[url=#user_comment_336954]@Johnthedragon[/url]: wow, so much butthurt from a DOtA fan. :3

@Flousan[/url]: As a matter of facts, they already do. Look at this 2 years old video, it's the reason why I started playing LoL in the first place: http://alturl.com/5v8gp.
That DOtA video actually copies the idea of using the Space Jam song.

@Johnthedragon[/url][/url]: You do realize Riot Games is based in California, right?
Expect to be horribly disappointed.. League is like one of those shitty MMOs that a chinese company made, albeit its a MOBA... Erm, excuse me, let me get a term that makes sense... Yes, a Dota-Like, an ARTS, etc.

Riot can try whatever they want, but they NEVER will have a video like this

Jo you went back in time and drew some comics related to this that you posted in the past before you went back to the future.

It's okay, Jo, I didn't stop reading when you were focusing on Team Fortress 2 or Dota 2. As a Lol player, I enjoy the occasional League of Legends reference. Just do your thing and keep us entertained. Good luck, have fun.

Don't worry Jo, I'm mediocre at HoN and I picked LoL up and I'm great at it. Even if you suck at DotA you'll still be on the better half of League players. Not having denies makes it super casual. (And honestly, in some ways, more fun.)
Jo, if you were afraid of the backlash, no one is here to judge you (it's the internet after all) you will still have followers on your site. Seriously Jo in the end they are just games, you know call me crazy, but I think they are many for you to be I don't know ENTERTAINED! Seriously try it out.
I tell you what, you hop onto the game on Jinx's release date, I'll nab 'er for you. Hell, I'll even support you in a few matches, depending on the drinks I've got on hand.
I do really remember seeing a comment saying "League of legends needs face animations!" really? I didn't think face animations mattered in a moba where your not looking at the face.

I don't even play League, (I don't find MOBAs entertaining) but I watch a fair bit of it and Davidangel64 linked the Jinx video from his twitter and I loved the video and song. Hopefully Riot will do more of this kind of thing further down the road, because I would love to see/hear more.

Well really sorry for the spam, but also, its my first time commentating and would like to say thanks for your awesome work, have been visiting you every day for more than 2 years, dunno why i didn't say hello before, Greetings, alem :D PD: i cant find the video, mind link it somewhere :D, thanks

PD: in the past Dota has short of trailers for the new heroes, would be nice to do "Meet the new guy" or something like that, more now that it runs in source and we could use SFM, have you seen the awesome works that people do?, i hope valve realise how great these little things are.

Jo, Try it out, i guess that like myself you will like it and learn everything about it, but at the end, Dota its just to much, you will most likely come back once you enjoy what the game has to offer.
Honestly can this just be? its own character action game please? Cuz you know, fuck LoL. A Harley Quinnesque type action game sounds like a good idea, The aesthetics demonstrated here with the 3D and 2D combination is nice and would love to see it in a real game.Such wasted potential.

To be honest, I thought the same thing when I saw the trailer, but she doesn't look nearly as cool in game. So, you know, cold shower. Still, I gotta admit Riot did a awesome video. In fact, probably my favorite fo the 3 they made. Dota2 has some (not quite as) awesome videos too, they'l make more
Oh, and don't forget about that other girl who apparently spends time practising the art of punching people through roofs. Who coincidently happens to (probably) be Jinx's sister.

[url=#user_comment_336926]@Demotechies[/url] How about big teams how play in DoTA International AND LoL Championship? They are n00bs, casualfags, or just people who know how to play Mobas?

Playing Dota, called dotafag by LoL players.
Playing LoL, called LoLfag by Dota players.
Playing them both, called casualfag by both of the players.
Screw this, real gamer plays every game.INCLUDING THAT DORA THE EXPLODER'S POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE GAME.
... Unless it has always-online-DRM.
And plus, look how long it took for Valve do 9 "meet the" videos. Imagine that on DOTA vids... Valve has a lot to do, unlike Riot that can focus 100% on Lol, i don't see them doing that with dota.
Still, SFM is out there, and Valve community can do some awesome stuff. It just need a headstart.
The background beat is OK, but goddamn, that voice is annoying... Kinda reminds me of MIA's Born Free and Crystal Castle's Love and Caring. Good beats, annoying voices.
Other than that, i'm seeing LOL comics now and people shouting MORE DOTA COMICS. Your choice jo, XD.

I'm sorry, but what the hell is wrong with engie-tan in the first panel?
Well look at it this way... the gamer community is nicer when you fight against npcs. Other than that the PvP follows the same if not similar cycle of the DOTA blame circle. (except it now goes by who made the least amount of gold instead of deaths)
Cool video and music, but I feel Borderlands 2 already perfected these characters with Tiny Tina and Gaige the Mechromancer. If I want to play someone similar in a MOBA, I'll just play Ayla in Awesomenauts. Awzumnutz4lyfe, yo.
Don't worry, i almost wanted to start at LoL again, then i saw a video of her in game, well that cured my wanting to play Jinx.

I returned to League of Legends when I realised there was a "bug" that allowed everybody to pick the same champion for a game.
It's actually really fun when everybody picks a champion that can jump all over the place.

Dota player here, I was thinking this all day. The only thing is I played LoL for some time, and I know that video does not represent the game in any way. It's too awesome, and LoL is just good.

Riots' Budget. Too bad lol ingame models has no face animations.
Use your budget to upgrade your engine now.
After watching that video I think I'd rather have a spin-off game. Although in a sense that's the Borderlands series. What you're responding to is the Tank Girl in her.

Just try the game again and see if you like it. When it comes to gaming, you don't need to try to stay "loyal" and only play one game of each genre.
Don't Worry, Jo. YOu have every right to like or dislike a character in League, whether you play it or not.
And have you seen the 'A Twist of Fate' video ?
