Also, would this be the right place to ask for a wee bit of advice? Just started playing not too long ago, but I have a fair bit of HoN experience (900ish games or so, 1700 MMR).
(Will come back with the questions later)
DotA2 won't kill LoL.
Sure, it will take a hefty chunk of any MOBA playerbase, but Riot is a new company, finding its legs. I tell you what, It's fucking found them, and started sprinting. The only game going to die is HoN. Even S2 know this. Gone free to try and get a playerbase that WON'T be killed out with the arrival of DOTA2.
What I laugh at, is all the HoN people who said "LOL SUCKS BECAUSE ITS F2P" - Yeah, what now?
Look at the desperation. LoL has even banned the acronym "HoN" on the forums, because they were flooded with people going "HON IS F2P COME PLAY THIS INSTEAD" - It was so childish. The same happened here, people spamming referral links:
"OH MY GOD, IT'S $10 - COME GET IT!"
It's amazing, that a little over a month ago, it was being advertised for $10, and then went F2P - I'd be pissed if I was one of the people that bought it for the "one off all time low price!"
With what though? Morde is a very strong laner. You can't really engage him 1v1 when he hits level 3-4, he just does too much damage (E on what? 6 second CD? Less) - Some champions can do it, but, he doesn't have very many counters in a lane (with people of equal skill level)
I had a game like that, where right on start one dude says, "At 20m we have to surrender, I have to go and don't want to get that thing." Thankfully only one other person on my team felt his "plight," and he ended up staying (while continuously spamming surrender) for a full 50 minute game.
I love dragging out a game because someone left before it was over thinking they'd just get the win, too.

Reality is nothing; Perception is everything.
indeed leesa went against a Amumu and Teemo in lane as solo lane morde a few weeks back and got a triple kill with 20 hp left. People just dont understand that just because morde is low hp doesnt mean hes vulnerable to a gank ESPECIALLY when hes sitting in your minion wave charging his shield with CD.
Now I don't want to brag or anything, but I just had a group that didn't suck donkeyballs (apart from the Yorick perhaps). Sure they didn't buy wards, but we basically won every teamfight and ended the game in just half an hour.
Now for a session closed.
As I'm the biggest nub of LoL, I have a question.
Do Wriggle's Lantern and Madred's Razors stack?
I play Shaco.
