This is the first time i've heard of this game, posts some links and a personal review that could encourage more of the Trini community to show an interest.

It's a DOTA clone. (sure someone's gonna get pissed reading that, lol)

W1n, you sure you never heard of it? Find that a lil hard to believe.

Played it a bit but retreated to HoN.

Haven't touched it in a while so maybe it has improved tremendously since then.

That seems to be a "feature" of these moba games.

They get surprisingly better with age.

[W1nTry]

N00b I barely touch SC2 yuh expect me to play another RTS game? XD

[haterforever]

To me this is less ''stress'' than sc2

[SiiloTT]

Hmmm. I was trying to avoid the arguments on the comparison between different moba titles. LoL is a made for a both young and old audience hence that kind of graphics. So its less stressful than say SC2 and HoN.I would say its less competitive(but still has a good bit of competition in ranked) but for me thats what i want less idiots quitting and raging(believe me there still are).

You can give it a try the site is Leagueoflegends.com

[W1nTry]

VirtueTT may be more inclined to try, esp as it'll prolly actually RUN on his laptop XD. I have WAY too many games and WAY too little time to give this a go atm, even so i'll give it a fwd.

Less stress means too easy imo. Never heard of this game. Was never big on Dota or HON. After WarOne tried to con a few of us into Company of Heroes, other RTS games jus arent my glass of wine so to speak. Even Dawn of War is a bit too different for me.

Besides the SC2 sweat picking up again and alot of us are rolling with it till a new toy comes out *cough cough* Battlefield 3. We have a cousin that plays HoN he might like LoL. Oh and, SC2 has its own Dota now =D

[haterforever]

less stress meaning easier but not too easy. Its easy to play but hard to master. And you cud be the best if your team sucks you will still lose. There is still competition but not on the level of sc2.

Im not playing ranked matches yet as i'm not at that level yet so I cant go into details of the competitiveness.

[SiiloTT]

LoL is a good game I don't mind if someone doesn't want to LoL u play what you want.

I was going to buy HON but I think DOTA 2 is coming out this year so I'll wait a bit

[Saxito Pau]

Students at the school where I work play that on a daily basis in the TD and Art Rooms, a couple even bring their personal laptops to school to do such.

Never had that opportunity to pong game in a school lab. Unless u count solitaire and minesweeper >.>

I play LoL.
IGN: Pandx Level 22 summoner atm.

@ The DotA and HoN comparisons: LoL is a bit more fast paced than DotA, I've never played hon so can't comment on that.

Ranked games are insanely competitive, I've played a couple on a friend's account before, Ventrilo/skype/teamspeak are simply mandatory if you intend to do well there, VERY few people enter ranked games in the Solo queue (i.e regular matchmaking with no prior organization or coordination if no one knew). But back to the point, in terms of overall competitiveness, League of Legends has it all, but again I've never played HoN so I can't draw any comparisons to that, but the game is really good I'd recommend it to anyone who isn't looking for "just another RTS".

The Development team is also pretty active and are always working behind the scenes to bring as much balance and content to the game as they can. Another thing is that every single member of your team is equally important at every single point in a match, if you have a leaver, 98% of the time you WILL lose, no matter how good you are. Their matchmaking system has also been tweaked to negate the "carry/feeder" effect.

Been a long time since i came on these forums, wonder if anyone remembers me

[TriniXaeno]

I've added you guys.

Hater you were right. Gave the game a third spin over the carnival and it has improved leaps and bounds from my last stint.

Absolutely phenomenal.

One major problem though....I am getting atrocious latency and delay issues.

Averaging 300ms to 900ms in game.

If that wasn't bad enough.....the character delay is 2 - 6 seconds. Marry that with regular disconnects and the game is rendered unplayable.

Had Crix play a game with me online today and his was running smooth as silk (he's in the states though)

How does it run for you guys?

Anybody else on flow experiencing similar problems? (Note, all other games are working fine with decent latency, sub 200ms....crysis 2, battlefield, etc...only LoL is giving this stress)

I've read tons of complaints on the League of Legends forums about it but I still suspect the problem is connection related.

How does the game run on blink broadband?

[haterforever]

I find flow on a whole messing up these days at least by me. Every few hours I have to reset the modem because it goes from the 5 lights to only two lights blinking.

When I started back last month my ping was always less than 100.

All of a sudden it started  hitting 300-900, what you are getting.

I don't know if it is flow or the game because other trini players don't even complain of bad pings but  many other players do.

What I do?

Right after the game loading screen (where you see the high pings) finishes and you enter the game where all the players are standing in a circle:
       1.  unplug the network cable from your pc( or disable wifi, I never played over wifi though)

       2. Wait till the screen says 'you have been disconnected, would you like to reconnect?'' ( this screen will come up like after 25 seconds)

      3. Replug the network cable (or re-enable wifi)

      4. Wait a few seconds and click reconnect.

When done in this order and ensuring that the disconnect screen comes up before replugging the network cable, my ping is back to normal 100%.

I don't understand the tech behind it but it always work for me so you can try it.

and no, I did not think up this by myself, I got it off a Trini LOL group made by trinigamers members.

See if it works.

[Rten-Kakashi]

I'm averaging about 150ms, on Blink.

[VirtueTT]

I find flow on a whole messing up these days at least by me. Every few hours I have to reset the modem because it goes from the 5 lights to only two lights blinking.

I have a Flow modem in my apartment building up UWI and this happened to me ALOT for a year or so. Called in and had a technician come check the line etc etc. You need to change the modem, thats wat i did and never had the modem auto restart on me since

[TriniXaeno]

well what do you know, that crazy procedure actually worked.

yanked out the cable at the start of the game...reconnected and boom. Played as smooth as anya's bottom.

+1 to you sir.
