A friend recently persuaded me to download the free-to-play Defence of the Ancients-a-like League of Legends. Was unable to play an actual game with him though because my internet was downloading the whole thing so slowly. At about 23:15, i got into my first game.
I choose Bitzcrank, a robotic champion. His abilities remind me of the Electrician somewhat and he has the "C'mere you!" grab ability of the Devourer (both heroes from Heroes of Newerth). Im in love with him instantly, as soon as the 3v3 starts.
The game itself though, goes poorly; one of my team quits straight away. Its left to me and another player, playing a character called Fiddlesticks, to face the other team's three. On my lane, I am outnumbered two to one by another Fiddlesticks and Ashe. A deadly duo capable of Stun/fear locking me to death. Surely enough, as soon as I over extend, I'm dog food. When I respawn however, things change. I instantly get a double kill on the bottom lane, giving me enough money to afford some good gear. I rack up five kills to no death, but they are bearing down on my tower as I am simply unable to push. When I do finally try, I am beaten to within an inch of my healthbar and I run through the jungle as fast as I can, using the speed boost from my overdrive to get away from Ashe, my persuer. Ashe is on half health, and catching up with me fast. I reach the middle lane and make for the tower. Ashe Persues, hungry for a kill. I execute a massive 'Dick move' and use the ranged grab ability to pull the greedy bugger into the tower. I am killed quickly, but so is my opponent, as he tries to flee from the punishing attacks of the defensive building. I am credited with the kill.
Shortly after this, my other ally leaves, leaving me three against one. Most of my towers have been destroyed and I can't cover all my bases. I decide to just sit in my base and make life as hard as possible for attackers. Soon its over though. I end my first game with a loss, but 21 kills to 5 deaths.
