My friend got into the beta, but he doesn't have any invites to send. How does one accrue additional invites?

Alternatively if you have an extra key I wouldn't say no >_>

To a few of the losers, I have 3 beta keys for HoN. Just post here(so everyone knows when I'm out of keys), and then after you've asked for a key you can pm me with your email address so I can send you the invite. Again, you MUST post here first before sending me a pm. I don't want to be bombarded by hundreds of people asking for keys. Thanks!

Played my first game a little while ago, was having a blast.. thought i was doing good and all of a sudden this jackass starts spewing shit at me for being a "noob" , telling me how i fail at gaming for sucking so bad, etc.. etc..

God damn, i came on to have a good time and there's always that one jerk off who just spoils the fun. Love the game though, complicated for me but i'm slowly learning :)

Thanks again shack

Woot! Hooray for LoL!

Man this is like the second key ive won this year! First Battlefield Heroes, now League of Legends!

Although i do have one question: Why is it that when click the play icon, and it is installing the patch. it stops after a while? Can I just manually install the patch? Its kinda annoying, and its keeping me from playing one of my most anticipated games for the PC!

Long live DotA! Long live LoL.
