Downloaded it a few days ago, seems decent enough. Right now I'm still getting steamrolled by the people who actually know what they're doing. Can't really find a Champion I can get used to, items are still confusing me and I'm just buying what guides are saying aaaand I've no idea how to get runes. Otherwise it seems pretty alright for a free game.
I'm a little afraid it'll get tedious after a while, though, unless I can improve and have some decent matches against other players.
Bwuah? You're describing everything that puts me off MMOG PVP. I hate having to learn what moves are crap what are good, what combos to use in what order and stats/tree builds that people have been using for years. DESPISE it.
And it's not something i found with this. XD Did you run through the tutorial? The heros..from the ones I've faced/used seem rather balanced and the move set is so small that you usually have it all unlocked fast and can see whats good/whats bad. The items would overwhelm me but it has a recommendation list and i just buy up that. As for runes..yeah don't get that either.
As for repetition well the only reason it's free is because it has microtransactions so there planning to support and update it frequently. Hopefully that should keep it fresh.
Yeah I went through the tutorial. I'm not saying it's complicated, but having only played 5 games there's still stuff I need to get the hang of. For example, by the looks of it there's quite alot of champions and to be able to play competitively you'll need to learn not only the champion you're playing but everyone else's too. There's group synergy to factor in, what champions are best to put on a lane together and which ones just suck together. Most champions have counters so you need to learn how to spot your counter and to get away from it or get someone who counters your counter to lane with you.
As for items, like most games the "recommended" items the developers give you aren't necessarily the best items. I suggest you check out all the guides on the forums, there's some really good an helpful ones :-

Still haven't figured out runes, any time I google it all the information is about the beta which is different from the current version of the game. From what I've read you gain them as your summoner levels up, along with 1 point to put into a mastery tree (like WoW's talent tree) but I'm level 5 right now and still have none available.
What champion are you leaning towards btw? I've been playing Master Yi and I think he'll be my champion of choice for most games.
I'll make an account after create an account is back up from maintenance.
