It's really fun and fairly simple compared to DotA, and you'll probably do good at first since you have experience.
Most of the people you get matched up with at level 1 have never played this type of game before.
I'll warn you though, some of the community is pretty bad.

@DeathOfSeaso: I'm sure the "pros" aren't stupid, but I don't know how hard the game actually is.

I would love to play DotA, but I dont have Warcraft III, the frozen throne on my computer (not at all, albeit the newest version), and I couldnt find any torrents out there for it, so I'll just stick to what I can I'm afraid. :S

There are learning curves with every champ. Some are easy, some are hard, generally the "harder" they are, the more "potential" they would have, but it's not always the case. You'll learn as you play though, good luck.

As for people telling you to stay out of ranked solo Q, the reason they're down there is because they belong there for whatever reason. I'm 1500, and still climbing (yes +12/13 per game, not an 8game winning spree that brought me up there).

[quote=AngelxHoly]Hi there.

Just yesterday I quit Maplestory, so I was looking at joining LoL. My question is basically -> Is LoL hard to learn and become good at?
I used to play DotA (like AGES ago, last time I played might've been 2007), and I know you need to lane, deny creeps, buy early game items and then upgrade. But is LoL the same, or is it harder?

Any help or advice is really appreciated, because the game looks really promising.[/quote]

LoL is full of stupid people. i would just stick with dota if you want to get good at that type of game then transfer over into LoL. in LoL there is no creep denying and the towers do ridiculous amount of damage compared to dota. In my opinion LoL is a bad game however many people like it since it is free. Also, LoL is easier then DotA to get good at but there is like a new hero added every week or something (havent played in ages so i dont know if thats still the case).

Not really, just get Fiddlesticks and pubstomp.

Any games related to LoL.. you will have your butt handed to you if you don't know what you're doing.

Yes because I couldn't learn it.

Isn't every game hard to learn at first but then you eventually get good at it? I remember the first time i played Pac-man and i thought i was suppose to kill the ghosts before time runs out :O

I came to LoL from HoN a couple months ago. It's ridiculously easy and casual gameplay compared to HoN.

If you played either HoN or Dota you'll faceroll the average LoL player easy (:

LoL is a ripoff of DotA and it's extremely easy to play and has little skill difference in good and bad players.

Okay so basically its learnable without [i]too[/i] much crying.

Thanks guys. Now, any special tips or tricks to basic gameplay? I remember denying creeps from DotA, so thats one thing covered.

Edit: No denying creeps? WHYYYYYYYY D:

It might take a little while to get the hang of LoL since you have been playing maplestory
even with your prior Dota experience. But it you hang in there it pays off its a fantastic game.
