=== Gameplay ===
* Silences, stuns, "suppression", etc. blocking ''Summoner spells''. Based on the [[Excuse Plot]]/[[Metagame]], shouldn't the Summoner -- the player -- be able to use his/her own powers regardless of a particular Champion's status? Or, if the Summoner is somehow "silenced" by Silence, shouldn't the Champion be effectively stunned by that effect as well, since the Summoner wouldn't be able to communicate? Come to think of it, the "global" spells (Clairvoyance, Fortify) shouldn't depend on the Champion being alive, but they do (the obvious exception being Revive). Obviously, the answer is [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]], justified with [[Competitive Balance]]. But...[
** You answered your own question.
*** The [[Hand Wave]] given is that the Champion acts as a physical anchor for the summoner's spells, so they can't be cast while the champion respawns, and the reason some status effects block them is that the close link between summoner and Champion ensures that the summoner feels some of the Champion's pain.
Line 7:
** Even in the lore the League has rules. I think it's safe to assume that one of those rules contains summoner spells which can't be used when your champion is dead or incapacitated.
* I've seen some players reach level 20 with 10 wins. I'm level 18, yet I have about 70 wins / 70 losses. How the HELL can you do so badly? It boggles my mind.
** You were [[Born Lucky]]. Because ''[[League of Legends]]'' is a free game, it's fully possible for people to have only two wins at level 10 because every other match they get into is full of [[Sock Puppet|Saboteur accounts]] as I call them. I don't know if this is happening in ''[[Heroes of Newerth]]'' now that it's free or not, but you're not free from dummy accounts that are dumped at level 20 or so for people to just go in and troll, intentionally feed, and make newbies' lives a living hell by wrecking their games. If they get reported, then who cares? You're not losing anything - it's just a ''dummy account'' that's banned. That and they probably are playing more bot games. I play bot games mostly because I don't have the time to get into a game that can drag on for over an hour and people rarely let bot games drag on that long.
*** Also, bot games don't appear on win/losses, but do give experience.
* Has Riot ever played ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' or ''[[Guild Wars]]''? Shouldn't they have known that nobody defends in capture and hold games and added something to encourage defensive play? Just about every game, there's a big fight for top...and then everyone disperses and leaves only one person to defend it. Or the sole defender asks someone to take their place because they need to heal or buy only for the other person to abandon it.
=== Current Champions ===
* Why does Twisted Fate, a character described as a gypsy gambler, have a thick ''Texas'' accent?
** Because it suits him as a suave Las Vegas gambler kind of person. That's as far as the meta and character style aspect go. If you want a story answer, he was born to Gypsy parents, but gambled his way to prosperity in Noxus. Hell knows what Noxian accents are like. Maybe all upper-rich criminals speak Texan?
** There is no Texas in Runeterra. Therefore, he doesn't have a Texan accent within his universe. So!...it doesn't really matter. At least he doesn't sound like [[Dawn of War|Commander]] [
** You'd probably not wanna think too hard about it - how does Caitlyn have a british accent yet Ezreal doesn't?
** He was born in the [[
* How come Vlad's normal skin depicts his hair as reddish, yet his ingame model shows his hair as white? I'd assume probably the glow of his blood makes it look reddish...
** That would be correct. If you look close enough, you can see the silveryness of his hair showing up. It's just reflecting the blood.
Line 25:
** Consider again, then. He's been formally announced.
* So is the Nine-tailed fox going to be like the Monkey King and not released until four months after she was announced?
** Ahri was released about a month and a half after the leak/announcement.
=== Fanbase ===
Line 36:
** I don't even think this problem comes from MOBA games at all. All the bad aspects existed before, but were allowed to magnify by video games' competitive spirit and the Internet's ability to spew it everywhere.
*** But for some reason, it's ''especially'' bad in MOBA games, especially [[Defense of the Ancients]], [[Heroes of Newerth]], and this game.
** Losing is not fun in a MOBA. Any other multiplayer online game a round is 20 minutes at max, plenty of time to dust off and try to get another win if you lose your current game. A MOBA usually takes 45 minutes minimum. Like Tycho of [[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]] said, the fact that you have to spend fifteen minutes farming stretches out the length and emotional investment of a multiplayer game far longer than it should, which makes losing worse, which in turn makes the community more resentful and angry. It essentially means that at any given time, half of the player base feels like they just wasted an hour of their life. That brings out the worst in people for obvious reasons, to a higher degree than any other genre.
** When there's a bad player in most games, the worst they can do is not help their team mates or increase their opponents score, making them more likely to lose. In [[MOB As]], when someone does badly, they're actively increasing the strength of their opponents, making every competitive aspect outright harder for their team mates. Not only does this make them frustrated, but, the resulting drop in the entire team scores makes everyone assume it must be someone elses fault.
*** The last two points would imply people behaved better in Dominion. This doesn't seem to be the case; [[GIFT]] still applies.
**** That's a given, especially if you consider that no matter where you are, no matter which game are you playing, the [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] control most, if not all, of the metagame with their beliefs.
***** Which is why you should ''never'' play ranked or ''any'' games that are "pro" environment like DotA or [[Heroes of Newerth]] - If you're having fun, ''you WILL be chased out'' and kicked from games, blacklisted, trash-talked, etc. [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] cannot be removed - they can only be quarantined by "pro" environments that stroke their egos.
***** Although for some reason, I have actually noticed that since around January, people started to behave better in Dominion. I don't know if it's because it's more fast-paced (and therefore people have less time to type insulting comments in /all ) or if all the [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] are busy playing ranked or have moved onto ''[[
****** I recently started playing, and I haven't found any jerkass players yet. Hell, most of the ones I met help teach me how to play, and I did pretty good cause of them. Guess I'm just lucky
******* You are, lucky that is. Please find someone knowledgeable to help/train you a bit before you attempt ranked games. You'll thank me, trust me on this...
