Also, they release a new character and (re)balance the game every two weeks. This is troublesome for a few reasons. Without going into too much detail, you'll find that a lot of characters you like/dislike will be buffed or nerfed down on a fairly regular basis. The game's Tier 1 and Tier 2 characters are generally always rotating due to how they go at balancing this game. It also sucks that if you choose to purchase a brand new character they are expensive, and then will probably be nerfed into the ground for months on end.

I'd say avoid League of Legends all together and simply pay the $30 for Heroes of Newerth (HoN). You get lifetime updates for free, more maps, debug mode, map maker, and the game's core mechanics aren't altered every two weeks.

If you start liking LoL it is a money suck, or in the very least a time suck. Last year they posted a 270 million dollar profit. That's a lot of bread for a "free to play game."

you don't really need to pay to get ahead the only thing i bought with money since i started playing in september is skins and every time they release a new champion i have enough ip to unlock him or her
