I started jungling with Udyr just the other day, he is an incredible champion. His turtle stance helps keep his health up after grinding minions for long periods of time, his bear stance makes him go faster and will stun, and his tiger stance deals a load of damage and increases his attack speed. Once he gets going he is unstoppable. You can dive a turret without sweating early to mid game.
I was taking on enemy champions 2 on 1, and I could kill the squishy one and run out safely before the other killed me, because udyr is so tanky and fast.
I just DL the game this morning and played for a little bit for the first time ever. Pretty neat game so far. Though I feel like Ive no clue at all what Im doing.

Yeah it has a pretty steep learning curve if you haven't played DOTA.

I like to think of LoL as a skin thickening device

Yeah, you'll learn very quickly that lol has a horrid community.
Extremely horrid. Don't get me started. But either way, hope you enjoy it KC! Whats your name?

Don't forget to like them on facebook for free Tristana, and I think youtube for free Alistair- it only says a skin, but that also unlocks the champion for you.
Looks like the next champion is one you will not like if you don't like Leona according to Certainly T- I'm thrilled about him/her/it.

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleyways and mugs them for loose grammar.
He is indeed. Take advantage his Q, and last hit minions with it. End game if you play it right Ult+q is a death sentence.

Hell yea it is. I started racking up kills towards the end when his spells were maxed. His ultimate is frigging crazy! Ive turned entire assaults using that. 1 hit and if the guy isnt dead, he is certainly running for the hills
Yeah. Veiger is the AP nasus. If he gets his way throughout early game (which given his skills isn't too hard so long as he isn't countered) he's going to start nuking people in the blink of an eye.
Yeah, I love old veigar. As LordofHats said hes the AP version of nasus. Maybe you should try him out next KC?

But he gets so easily countered. Spreading the gospel truth, AP Malphite is the hidden OP. It only occurred to me that his Q and ult are 1 for 1 scaled with AP, and his E is like 50% of AP. That and combined with the classic tankyness, and he can counter surprisingly well, especially seeing as his Q costs less than most other pokes in mid lane, and has a neat speed steal attached.
Oh the looks on the faces of Talons worldwide who go midlane and end up against a tank...

Got my wife to DL it and we played together a few times so she could get the swing of things. I dunno if she likes it or not. I kept telling her not to feel bad for getting her head kicked in at first, because of that learning curve.

AP Malphite falls off so hard late-game that it's almost not even worth it. Unless you do some work early on, he only remains useful for his ult.
Looks like Hecarim and Karthus somehow had a baby. The ally pulling looks useful, but the ally has to click the lantern to be pulled. This means like Nami, if it's a support you probably shouldn't take it to solo queue unless you're amazing with him.
OK since Im such a noob on this game, can you lot give me some general "what the hells?"
Like AP and so on? What exactly does that mean? And not just AP, but Ive seen others like CC and such, what do all those mean?
When on the loading screen, the one that shows everyones summoner loading. What are those numbers all about? Mine is always green, and around 88ish. OThers are yellows and reds and can be several hundreds. I saw a guy with red 999. Im sure this has nothing to do game wise, but its been in my head.
And how the fudge do you counter Evelyn? Someone used her in a match earlier today, and not a single person on my team could counter this chick. She had 29 kills with 0 deaths. Basically she would sneak in, and start CONSTANTLY shooting these spikes at us that would slow up down big time. And before you could really do anything, we were dead in a couple 2 or 3 hits. Ideas?! Other then her, we were doing really really well against the rest of the team, we nearly won infact. We would of for certain, but that chick was just the end all be all apparently.

AP = Ability Power, used for mages/casters/magic damage
AD = Attack Damage, straight forward physical damage
CC = Crowd Control, meaning anything that slows/stuns/knocks champs around
The number is your ping, or your connection to the server. The lower the better. If someone has a red 999, that's pretty bad, most likely a connection that's disconnecting at times.

Pink wards (vision wards) can see cloaked items/champs. Use them when Twitch or Evelyn is being annoying or when Teemo's mushrooms are being frustrating. They're also good at counter warding so you can see the enemy sight/vision wards and kill them.
On another note, what champs are good at ADC in this new system? I'm having the hardest time getting a champ for that role since I started playing again a couple weeks ago.
