Update & First Thoughts
I've installed, played for a few hours and read a few guides online. Initial thoughts from someone not used to playing this sort of game are :-
- It's good fun in the tutorial. I'd love more to play and learn.
- Playing the real game is fun to start but when you aren't very experienced it quickly gets very boring always being the one who's the lowest level.
- Really not knowing what's going on gets dull fast too. There's very little comms in the games I've played.
- There's very little in the way of tutorials. For such a massive game I thought there would be a much more advanced campaign.
- When I play multiplayer the Q to fight AI is very fast. To fight 5x5 it says "1 min" and I'm still sat there 5 minutes later (quit Q)
- When you do get a game it takes AGES for players to "load".
- There are so many Champions that it instantly puts me off playing. I forced myself to pick one and just try to learn it.
- There are also so many things presented all at once that it puts me off too. Mastery. Runes. All the gear to buy in the shop. Etc.
- Fighting the AI on "beginner" is ok. The intermediate level seemed very tough (only tried it once and we got hammered).
So I've enjoyed the tutorial, definitely improved my skills and knowledge a bit, enjoyed some games against the AI too BUT quickly getting bored. I can now only play 1 game before I have to quit and go do something else.
Interested in knowing the thoughts of others who either play / are learning.
