Useful information and cool things for LoL players

[Voulture]

Cause fuck you Vaxy. Thing will get updated if someone, which is kinda unlikely knowing you a bit, will post something interesting and worth sharing here.

TEAMSPEAK

We use Teamspeak 3.0:
ts.failheap-challenge.com

STREAMS:

Best way to learn how to play it, many top players commentate a lot and gives insights, especially Chaox and TreeEskimo and GuardsmanBob. You can find them there, really good players streaming daily are mostly CLG, TSM, EG from NA and SK from EU.

http://clgaming.net/livestreams
http://www.solomid.net/streams.php

VIDEO GUIDES:

Honestly, like a champ? Want to see it play? Let me introduce you something amazing:
http://www.solomid.net/videos.php?b=Chaox
Honestly, that's it. He played every single champ once, especially for teaching purpose. Check his marathon videos. Every time he explain all mechanics of a said champion, show how to play him, elaborate aboue possible builds and ways to exploit his strenghts. Best way to learn champs.

GUIDES:

http://www.mobafire.com/ - look only for clg guides
http://leaguecraft.com/ - also consist of sickly huge amount of posted skins, all availible to download and replace standard ones, avarage guides
http://www.solomid.net/guides.php - possible the best source of guides atm
http://rog.clgaming.net/blogs/just-a...ent-prediction - must read for anyone who want to be better than avarage
http://www.nerfplz.com/2012/02/tossi...s-for-pro.html - ward placements over wall tricks

http://smartp1ck.com/ - site that offers knowledge of counter picking certain champs, does explain why one pick is strong against other champ

STATS:

Sites to let you keep track with all your numbers, especially handy for checking further game history or checking your normal win ratio:

http://www.leagueofstats.com/
http://www.lolking.net/
http://lolmatches.com/ - probably only one that gets normal elo from server logs but does require additional client running

CHAMPION TIERS:

Pretty controversial stuff inside - done by a professional player who plays solo queue by a lot. Of course it's mostly according to current US metagame by should be ok for EU servers as well. All SR done by Elementz, TT done by Barricade, heard he is good at 3v3 premades.

http://rog.clgaming.net/tier-lists/44-solo-queue/latest - for solo queue rankeds / blind draft
http://rog.clgaming.net/tier-lists/45-draft-mode/latest - most accurate for 5v5 premades, should be good for high elo game in general
http://rog.clgaming.net/tier-lists/46-jungle/latest - junglers evaluted and commented
http://rog.clgaming.net/tier-lists/54-threes/latest - Twisted Treeline champion tiers

He does Meta talks from time to time as well, check here http://rog.clgaming.net/blogs/41-reign-of-elementz every few days after new patch to check what has been changed and how it's gonna affect your games.

INGAME CHANNELS:

Ingame Channel EU West: scrapheap
Ingame Channel EU East: scrapheap
Ingame Channel US: scrapheap

I think the pattern is clear. Need to mention that vast majority of players are playing on EU West servers, we are up to 35 players in the euro evenings. Not biased at all

SKIN REFUNDS:

Apparently you can return up to 3 purchases in last 30 days and get a full refund in points you spent of them. Having a dumb champ you dislike playing? Having a skin that felt like being much better than it actually is? Get it back! This is what i wrote to them:

Hello,

I have heard about refunding of some unwanted champions. Rumors says that's possible to get some points back from up to 3 champions or skins bought from your shop system. Providing it's possible and would you do me this courtesy i would be very grateful to use this given opportunity.

Lol version: ~~
Username: ~~
Summoner name: ~~
Email: ~~

Assuming i have met all requirements for that one time offer would be so kind as to refund me:
1. ~~ item - ~~RP
2. ~~ item - ~~IP
3. ~~ item - ~~IP

Best regards,

~~

Obviously fill all ~~'s. BUT REMEMBER this is not officially spread AND you are allowed to ask for only one return ticket! Think well about what champs and skins to pick ad you won't have another chance for that.

The following email you should receive should look like that:

Hi ~~,

I am very sorry for the delay in responding to your issue. We are improving our support system to help resolve tickets faster.

We don't do this normally, but I have completed this refund. The points have been added to your account, but they may not display properly until you go to the Store and attempt to make a purchase. You do not need to complete the purchase, the value should correct itself before you complete the transaction.

This is a one-time exception.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and enjoy the game!

Thank You,

Guru of Time
Riot Support Team

SKIN VIEWER

http://lol.zone.gamebase.com.tw/zone/lol/skin_view/ - in game skin viewer, good before purchase
http://www.lolking.net/ - new better and easier skin viewer, consist of all animations and attacks as well

JUNGLE TIMERS

Full chart here: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wik...st_of_Monsters

Creeps in jungle: depends on a spawn, approximately 1:00
Buff creeps (red and blue): 5.00 (buff last 2:30, and with affinity 3:00)
Dragon: 6.00
Baron: 7.00 (buff last 4:00, affinity does not help)

Same for TT and SR.

This post is going to be updated in time. Just let me know what else should fit here.

[Bluemajere]

leaguecraft guides are pretty bad, and so are most mobafire guides except for the clg ones

[Forever Calzone]

May want to update the refund thing they'll only refund skins/champions you have bought within the last 30 days.

I believe it's also 3 purchases only as I got a response on my support ticket that they'll only refund within last 30 days and the guy specifically said 3 purchases as opposed to 3 champs/skins.

[Voulture]

Fixed.

[Voulture]

Updated with Epic atlanta guide to not so well known facts about Lol. Forgot about it, don't want it to die in that closed megathread.

I find a large majority of the FHC players on the US server don't sit in the channel for some reason....

But really, those of us who have invested time and money into our US account's have no incentive to switch just to play in custom matches with you... regardless...

[Spaztick]

Heimer, Jax, Akali and Rammus are OP for Dominion. Ban at all costs.

They took it down due to too much server traffic. Might be back later and if so I'll repost.
