@Black Snow: No u. You're just saying that because /v/ told you it's good. SC2 sucks dick, and I doubt you've even played the original. The reason RTS are for PC's is because the mouse is more efficient pointing tool than a gamepad is. And the keyboard is better fit for complex hotkey settings...

Dude brood war was the first online game I ever played. Star Craft 2 is good and no I did not get that from /v/, I was in the beta and it was a bit different with new strategies. Shit was more fun then brood war for me. The game is perfect for RTS and if it suck so much why does it have no competition and legends from Brood War are now joining in on SC2. If you think SC2 is crap, well then you are pretty much a faggot.

Yes. Though I haven't played much. I'm only level 11, and only have like 5 champions, Mordekaiser and Mundo being the only ones that even cost over 1000 influence points, the rest are 450 noob heroes. I really hate Mundo though, and bought it because a friend recommended it for a new player. Mordekaiser and Kayle are my usual pick...

And I couldn't play in over a month, so I'm probably pretty rusty. I did download and install it after fixing my laptop, but played only one game which was pretty much overkill on behalf of the other team's suckiness...

Nice. I'm 30. Haven't gotten into Ranked much yet (7 wins out of 9 games, was 1450+ but didn't play for like 2 weeks so it balanced out). I main Irelia, Akali, and Mordekaiser, but will play pretty much anything barring ranged carry roles. I'm pretty sure you can guess what my summoner name is, so hit me up sometime and we'll play--I can teach you some pretty funny shit to do with the champs that you do have.

(Mundo's actually pretty good btw.)

Yeah, Mundo's pretty good from what I hear, but I really dislike actually playing him for some reason... well, I didn't play more than like 2 games so I don't really even know how to play him good, so that could explain it too.

Mordekaiser is my current fav, because I prefer supportive tasks rather than killing the enemies, and he's pretty much the best pusher I've seen so far. Kayle I like mainly because my friend (uses her as a main) showed me what she can do with a good player.

And "Eaglendia" isn't hitting any results on the LoL client, so maybe you add me? It's "a370", anything but the predictable I guess...

o_o I think you're on the EU client. So it goes, I guess.

Mordekaiser's farm is pretty powerful, so he can rely on expensive builds--most people prefer the tanky AP/spell penetration Mordekaiser, but I've been playing with something that was originally designed as a troll build: Hextech Gunblade stacking. A Regrowth Pendant makes you unkillable early game, and a Hextech Revolver just helps. By the time you get the Gunblade you'll be level 10 or 11, when you start putting points into Mace of Spades. Mace scales with AP and AD, and it takes effect on your next melee swing, meaning that Lich Bane also triggers dealing 100% of your AP as additional damage, resulting in some really crazy-high hits.

As far as Kayle goes I'm convinced there are better champions. She doesn't seem to do much unless you let her free-farm for half a game, though her supportive abilities are definitely palpable.

Oh, right, I completely forgot about the region-locked servers.

The thing with Kayle is that she is FAST. I know it takes effort to level her, and early game she is about as good as sack of shit for the team, but when she's fully leveled she's unstoppable if you know what you're doing. I unfortunately don't, so I don't think I'll be very good with her anytime soon. That's why I've been playing Moderkaiser most of the time now... might give Mundo another chance too.

Edit: Yeah, and Kayle has that [30% AD <---> 15% AP] which with a certain type of build gives some pretty incredible results...

I am currently in the apb closed beta and it is amazing, the only reason it failed was due to balancing issues and gamersfirst is doing a good job of balancing the game and adding a plethora of new content. And Kingdom under fire 2 should be just as good as the first one which was enjoyable and different then most games I had ever played on the original xbox, it worked perfectly with the controller.

fattyboy you got in, shit i was in the first beta and loved the game its just the cheaters and campers and griefers taht ruined the game

with a massive balling issue

i cant wait to get into the new CB before open when apb reloaded get relaunched

You could easily download the USA client considering you're not at that high a summoner level yet, but there might be lag. >_>

Could you get some gameplay up? I want to see how gamersfirst has changed the game.

fatty boy probably cannot live stream due to the fact that you are not supposed release footage to the public or he might be banned

No thanks.

IDK, I thought they did a good job with Red Alert 3 for 360. It wasnt as good as on PC, but it showed that it could work. Its just a pain in the ass not having macros for everything.

What if they don't figure it out, and he just hosts it on tinychat or something. And title the link something like..... /APBCLOSEDBETAGAMERSFIRSTBANMEPL0X
