LOLing around in multiplayer battle arens ; League Of Legends

A week or two ago I was introduced to League Of Legends ; a friend showed it to me (*** him, the game is rather adictive). More info about the game can be found on http://www.leagueoflegends.com/ or its EU counterpart http://www.lol-europe.com/

As the name suggests, the game is a LoL. I like it. It is a DOTA (defense of the ancients, a warcraft 3 mod) clone with some improvements. I like it.

The game is a real time strategy (RTS) that goes straight to action. No building, no preparations. Create and account. Tat way you get yourself a summoner. Summoner (you) controlls chamopin (a hero you choose for the duration of one battle). There are many (more then 30) heroies to choose from. (un)fortunately (for the minmaxer in you at least) they  are rather well ballanced. But that does not mean some will suit you more then other as they are rather different when it comes to their abilities. Select your here (called champion) and run into the arena, engage in battle with other champions - player controlled heroes (or boots) and kill netral monster for boosts. To add more to the game there towers that defend bases and computer controlled minions who attack the first enemy champion / tower they see. Apart from getting better when you learn how to play the game, summoner (you) gain some easily distributable stats (ripped from wolrd of warcraft talent trees). WoW players will be pleased - reallocation of points (talents / masteries) is as easy as clicking, no gold farming.
