I'm toying around with the idea of alternating between Morgana and LeBlanc.
If I pick LeBlanc, I'd like to play a 5v5 with a pre-made team and try ganking. LeBlanc seems to be designed for sudden and substantial pop-in, pop-out damage and I'd like to give her another try in a game where I take on a more specialized role.
I still like Morgana and plan on practicing her Soul Shackles ability, but I can imagine how playing as LeBlanc could shake things up a bit.
When the week is over, though, I doubt I'll have enough IP to buy both. (Plus there'll be another rotation of free-to-play champions next Monday and I'm also finding myself liking Corki, despite his squishiness.)

The game is growing on you I see!
Ehh, kinda-sorta.
Whether it's growing on me or not is irrelevant, though. Pretty soon, I won't be able to block off 45 uninterrupted minutes of time for a game. I'll probably be shelving LoL the day the little one arrives. By the time I would come back to the game, I'd wager ToJ members will have lost interest and moved on to The Next Big Thing.

It depends on the gaming longevity of the players in ToJ rather than the gaming community itself. While I don't play (tried it, tried Demigod, and Heroes of Newerth, so it can't be said I never gave the mini-genre a fair shot...) I know a couple people who have played fairly consistently since its released sometime in 2009.
Considering the age of the game, and the amount of steady community growth, I see at least some people from ToJ sticking around for at least a little while (kindof like, say, the Left 4 Dead series).

Yeah, Turbo and I have played DotA for years (5ish years for me, longer for him) and moved on to LoL for over a year now, so there's no danger of it falling off. Might not be the case for all ToJ members, of course.
True. Player numbers tend to drop off with any given game and LoL is and will be no exception.
All multiplayer games I play fall somewhere on the following Venn Diagram: Games I enjoy and would play even if no other ToJ members play on the left, games that I play to be social on the right, and a small number of games that fit both categories. Games like LoL and UT3 belong in the right circle, game like Natural Selection 1 and Madballs in...Babo: Invasion belong in the left circle, and a few rare games like Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 fit in the crossover space.
I imagine most gamers choose what games they play and when using similar criteria. I'd much rather be playing UT2004 Onslaught than UT3 deathmatch, but I don't know of any other ToJ members who enjoy Onslaught as much as I do, so I play UT3 DM instead. But on occasion, I'll load up UT2004 and join an Onslaught server, even if it means playing with random people.
Custom campaigns have most definitely extend the replay value of Left 4 Dead 2. Whon's done a fantastic job of keeping the server updated (which is more troublesome for L4D2 than for other games) and planning custom campaign nights. You can only play Dead Center on Versus so many times before it gets stale, but playing new customs in co-op--and again later in Versus--makes for a much different experience.
I <3 TF2, but sometimes I just want to pick up a shotgun, team up with 3 other ToJ members, shoot zombies, and clear a new custom campaign. I'm a big fan of co-op FPS play and L4D2 really shines in co-op mode. (I still maintain that L4D2 Versus is the FPS equivalent of Mario Kart--fun to play, but you just can't take it seriously as a competitive game or measure of skill.)
Back to the topic of League of Legends: I'm going to have a hard time choosing between Morgana and LeBlanc. I'd rather just unlock both, but each champion costs 3150 Influence Points but I've only racked up about 3500 so far and my 4-Win IP Boosts (earned by referring others to the game and the referred accounts reaching level 5) are nearly depleted.
I wish LoL champions weren't so "expensive" to unlock.

New patch notes:
Udyr said:
TL;DR version: Anivia got a much-needed smack from the nerf stick, there's a new Champion that looks like an ent, and there are a few more bot champion AIs available now.
New free-to-play Champions are live:
So who's up for some Champion testing?
- Cho'Gath
- Gragas
- Irelia
- Kassadin
- Mordekaiser
- Ryze
- Soraka
- Teemo
- Tristana
- Veigar
So who's up for some Champion testing?
Another week, another batch of free-to-play Champions I've already played.
With only ~10 Champions I haven't tried yet, I suppose it's not much of a surprise. I guess I'll check again next Tuesday.
Until then, on to Spiral Knights~!
