Game Review: League of Legends ($ = 0.00)

League of Legends

•13+ (Women with revealing clothes, ish)

•RTS (Real time strategy)

•Free to play

-Backstory

•League of Legends (LoL) was published by “Riot Games™” for Windows, and Mac as a multiplayer online arena style game.

•It was first announced on October 7, 2008, and released on October 27, 2009.

-Overview

•Players are formatted into 2 teams of 5 Champions (Champions being the different characters to choose from), but only 3 per team on the map “Twisted Treeline.”

•As of now, July 28, 2013, there are 114 different Champions(see the “Champions” section).

•All players choose their Champion and spawn on their respective side of the map, next to a “Nexus.” A Nexus being the structure the opposing team must to destroy to secure victory, each team has 1 Nexus.

•Maps are mirrored with 1 Nexus on each side, with 3 lanes (See the “Lanes” section).

•There are also other map types such as “ARAM,” and other maps such as “Twisted Treeline”

-Champions

•Currently there are 114 Champions.

•All Champions can be categorized into any one of “Tank, Assassin, Mage, Support, Fighter, and Ranged.”

•Tank Champions normally have high HP (Heath Points), low MP (Magic Points, or Mana), high defence, and low DPS (Damage Per Second). They also have many reflect damage type skills.

•Assassin Champions normally have low HP, decent MP, high DPS, and very low defence. They also have many stealth related skills with long cool downs.

•Mage Champions normally have decent HP, very high MP, varied DPS, and low defence. They also can have varied skills from healing to AOE (Area Of Effect).

•Support Champions normally have varied HP, MP, DPS, and defence. They also have many healing related skills.

•Fighter Champions normally have decent HP, MP and defence, but high DPS.

•Ranged Champions normally have the same as Fighters only with a bit more defence, and they do ranged damage.

-Champion Combat

•Each Champion has 1 Passive Skill, 3 Regular Skills, and 1 Ultimate Skill.

•Passive Skills are passive abilities that do not need to be activated by the player.

•Regular Skills are skills that are the general combat/healing skills of each champion, these can or cannot cost MP, or HP, all have varied cool downs.

•Ultimate Skills are special, extremely powerful skills with long cool downs.

•Each Champion has 2 summoner skills which have special abilities such as a teleport, heal, or a revive.

•Each Champion also can use “Recall” which after 8 seconds of not moving, activating skills, or being attacked, will teleport the Champion to their Nexus.

-Lanes

•There are 3 lanes connecting each Nexus.

•Each lane has 2 enemy turrets, 2 friendly turrets, 1 enemy Inhibitor, 1 friendly Inhibitor.

•After 30 seconds neutral monsters or “Minions” spawn at regular intervals in each lane at a steady pace. If left to their own devices Minions will attack each other and cancel each other out.

•Turrets will attack Minions and Champions. It will only attack Champions if He/She are closer to the opponents Nexus then the Minions, or their are no Minions left.

•If an enemy Inhibitor is destroyed your base will start spawning 1 “Super Minion” each wave. Inhibitors will respawn over time.

•Super Minions are stronger and healthier than regular Minions.

•There are 2 turrets very close to each Nexus.

•Each lane has segments called “Brush” the brush are areas that other players can not see you, unless they are in the same patch of brush, OMIT wards.

•Between each lane is a jungle with 2 boss mobs, which give gold and buffs to the entire team, and neutral monster camps that can be killed for gold.

-Map

•The Map is in the bottom right corner.

•The Map show the Lanes, Inhibitors, Turrets, Jungle, Boss mob locations, player locations, and the Nexus.

•You can use an action called “Ping” to alert others of your team. For instance there are “I’m on my way!” “I need assistance!” “Enemy missing?” “Danger!” pings.

-Money / Shop

•If you kill anything, you get money.

•Money generates slowly over time.

•Any item can be bought from the shop when you are close the the nexus, or dead.

•Some items have “Unique Passives” or “Unique Actives.” the second of the 2 requiring you to activate it by pressing the corresponding button.

•Items you buy will take up any one of the 6 item slots.

•You may buy HP and MP restoring potions to.

•You can also buy wards to see players in the Brush.

•All items will give stats, such as, +10 Attack Damage, 10% cooldown reduction.

•Some items will be upgraded by themselves if certain requirements are met.

•Some items also have can be build into other items, using gold and other items.

-The entire interface looks like.

•Character info (Items, Gold, Stats, EXP)is in bottom left.

•Players in game are shown in the top left.

•Above the current in game players are the current de-buffs you have.

•If kills your happen, red text in the middle of the screen will appear, also it will be shown on the right of the screen.

•This picture also shows off the graphics style.

•This shows the 2 red players being “Ganked”(Ganked meaning many players ganging up on 1 other player) by the 4 green players.

Diablo 3 Problems

Hello it's me, Ben.
Today is D3 day and there are A LOT of problems with D3.
(I won't be doing many D3 posts. Mostly on patch notes and issues with the game.)


DIABLO 3 CLASS ISSUES
-Barbarian
It's a very button mashy (Mashy?) class, just Wirl-Wind and and press Rend every once in a while to win. You don't even need to stay around to watch the things die (They die off screen due to bleed damage, which is overpowered). It is really, really easy to get 300-400k Dps. Wirl-Wind even allows you to go through enemies! Cancel Freeze, Wall, and Trap effect! Much like the Demon Hunters Vault only the Barbarian can keep this going for as long as there are enemies and Vault goes a certain distance and does no damage (OMIT trail of cinders rune).

-Demon Hunter
For being a glass cannon class it has no decent attack skills!  The so called "Glass Cannon" class has the best survival skill in the game! Shadow-Power with Gloom. 70%! You heard me 70% of Demon Hunters are gold farmers with %Gold gear and +Pickup Radius who haven't even finnish the game on inferno! Plus this class cannon class has very, very bad damage issues. It is harder than it should be to get 250k Dps or more, but Bizzard does not buff the attack skills to compensate.

-Witch doctor
There is no fun in this class. It is pretty much an AFK class. Just call the hounds then spam any one of the basic attack skills. All of which are stronger than the Demon Hunter's! The attack based class!

-Wizard
The Wizard. The famous "Critical Mass" face-roll class. Just bind all skills to right mouse button and move to the left one. All it does is, 1. Freeze everything, 2. Do damage, and with high enough attack speed every thing dies without doing any damage to the wizard. Fix this Blizzard! Now!

-Monk
The monk. It can teleport, like the Witch Doctor. It has a massive damage boost skill, like the Barbarian, it has the button spamming quality of a Wizard. It also has a survival skill almost as good as the Demon Hunters "Shadow Power." So there is no point in playing other classes (Unless farming for legendaries, Barbarian), because this has all the qualities of the other classes without the losses! Blizzard thinks this a balanced class. It is not. It is the most over powered class!

DIABLO 3 GOLD INFLATION PROBLEM
-Gold duping
Chinese gold farmers are bad enough, but to have a 70% of Demon Hunters being gold farmers! For 2 or so days after the 1.0.8 update you could bid on an item, cancel the bid and get double! This ruined the economy! Then they buy everything! A while back some koreans started duping. On the asian servers some gems that cost 16,000,000 gold cost 300 gold! No I did not miss any zeros. Now with these issues the 1.0.8 update brought around those same gems cost 25,000,000 and over! The Diablo 3 economy is broken, down right broken!


Those were my problems with Diablo 3. I still like the game, but it is kind of broken.
Nvm, keep gaming!
