League of Legends - What.. Why.. Where.. HOW? (Part 2)

Welcome in the second part of my post about playing League of Legends.

So let's continue.

Next skin price is 1350 RP. These skins are sometimes called imperial (mostly in Polish). They are advanced skins that changes everything in champion appearance, often changes voice (mosty by filters), quotes, sometimes dance.

One before last are 1820 RP skins, called Legendary. They are totally changing champion, his voice, quotes, animations, spells and everything else. They are releasing average once per 3-4 months.

And the last, the most expensive skins are priced at 3250 RP, called Ultimate. They are determining champion all over again. They are most advanced in a game. They have everything changed, evolving model and they are intervening to an interface (e.g. changing champion icon in HUD). There are currently three Ultimate skins - Pulsefire Ezreal, Spirit Guard Udyr and DJ Sona. They are releasing once per a season (one Ultimate skin per year). If you buy an Ultimate skin you will also unlock an unique Summoner icon. If you'll set it, banner on your profile will change from "classic summoner" to skin that is on your avatar. If you'll set Pulsefire Ezreal avatar, you will have Pulsefire Ezrealbanner on profile, If you set DJ Sona's Kinetic form you will have Kinetic DJ Sona on profile, etc.

There are also special skins, but I want to say about it in the other post.

Wait, wait, wait.. You said about DJ Sona, but not about "Kinetic" DJ Sona.

Oh, sorry. I forgot to say that. 

• Pulsefire Ezreal has only one form, but evolving model based on his level and his abilities' levels.
• Spirit Guard Udyr has both evolving model based on levels of abilities and four different forms based on his actual Stance. So he has:
  -Five levels of Tiger stance
  -Five levels of Turtle stance
  -Five levels of Bear stance
  and -Five levels of Phoenix stance
  By the way - on classic game modes you have max. 18 levels. Udyr can unlock every level of every stance only in URF mode.. But about that later. 
• DJ Sona hasn't got an evolving model, but she can switch (by pressing Ctrl+6 in deafult) between her three forms:
  -Kinetic-Concussive-Ethereal
  Every of her forms has different look, spells appearance and music. She and her allies can feel like on real concert and listen to her music. So.. Let's listen!
  Kinetic DJ Sona
  Concussive DJ Sona
  Ethereal DJ Sona
  Do you like it too? ;)

Okay, I know everything about queueing, champion select and skins. Let's talk about playing on.. On.. On what..? 

Playing on Fields of Justice, of course!

There are currently many game modes:

• Classical 5v5 - game on Summoner's rift. How does the map look like? Let's see. 
  -Blind pick - after everyone accepts the match, they start to pick champions. Everything. Everyone has 80 seconds to pick a champion, and bonus 10 second to pick runes, masteries, summoner spells and skins. Then the game begins.
  -Draft - First of all, people who are picking their champion first are banning champions from all available to play by both teams *It's about to change, but it's currently how I'm describing it. After both teams have banned  3 champions per team, picks begins. But there is no free as in Blind pick. Everyone can see your pick, not only your team. One champion can be picked in only one team, not as in Blind pick in both (it's called mirror, there is special game mode that.. Later about it..). And there is a sequence of picking. First person picking is the first pick in Blue team. Then two first people in red team. It makes 1-2-2-2-2-1 sequence. Then you have bonus 30 seconds to set everything.
  -Ranked draft - the same as normal draft, but you can earn League points. Later about that.
  -Team builder - First of all you select you want to create a new team or join to existing. Then you pick a champion, position and role you want to play. Then you start to search other players (if you're captain) or a existing team for you (if you're single player). When team is complete and everyone is ready, systeam starts to search opponents for you.
• Classical 3v3 - game on the Twisted Treeline map. It looks like that. 
  You can play Blind pick, draft or ranked team draft there, but sequence of picking in draft is 1-2-2-1. 
• ARAM - shortcut from All Random, All Mid. There you play on Howling Abyss map. It looks like that.  There's only one lane. every champion is picked randomly. If you have enough Reroll points you can have up to two more draws. You can also trade champions with other players who have them. 
• Dominion - in this mode you play on the Crystal Scar. There's how it looks like.  This game mode is much different. Killing other units is second-rated. Main quest there is to capture more points than your enemies. As you can see, on the map there are five points. So uneven. If you control more points than enemy team, ther nexus is losing health. And vice versa. To capture the point you need to stand next to it and "connect" with it. Point can have 3 phases: Ally, neutral or enemy. Enemy point are similar to turrets on other map. They can hurt you or your team and minions. when you're capturing it it's stunned and can't hurt anyone. After few seconds of capture it's switching to neutral. When it's neutral both teams can see invisible units (for example - Teemo's Mushrooms) near to it and it won't hurt anyone. When it's neutral you and your team can see invisible units near to it, but your enemies can't. Your team needs to secure this point. On the middle of the map there are two shields of the storm. one per team. One person from both teams can capture it to deal bonus damage once per about 10 seconds, has shield and is enlarged. It regenerates after few minutes.
