There's lots of fighting games out there that heavily reward defensive play. I myself am a lame-o Rosalina main in smash.

you want to use the rockets to poke before a fight and chase at the end of one though
Define "poke before a fight". I struck on the tactic of putting pressure on the minions with the splash damage, but never really switched weapons unless I had to. Should I have done that but switched to the midi gun when it was time to fight a champion or a turret? Or am I still off base?

I'm usually the same with playing defensively. I just suck at being proactive so I love to turtle in an RTS until I have a massive army that just rofl-stomps on all of my computer adversaries.

the splash dmg is good for pushing the creep wave but keep in mind

A. You need to last hit the minions, this is not optional, you must learn how to farm even if that means grinding it out in a custom game
(Seriously very very important)

B. You don't ALWAYS want to push and spamming rockets on the creeps will push, you will become more vulnerable to ganks

C. you will run out of mana which can be as bad as being low health as you'll have to back to base
You do realize I am not hip to your LoL lingo, right?

You'd best brush up on it then if you want to get into these kinds of games. Honestly, I think that's one of the more understated reasons why it can be hard to get into multiplayer games, having to learn the language. At least if you are playing with pubbies.

I'm not sure that I'm at the point where I want to actually study the game, but I might be close. ATM I'm happy to just casually absorb info through osmosis in-game. My teammates are always thrilled.

BTW what percentage of the player base are whiny twats who turn on caps lock and bitch incessantly whenever the game isn't going their way? They don't really bother me as I can just ignore or troll them, but god damn are there a lot of them. More often than not though the players just seem to be up for a good time. But that guy who threw a snit fit when I took the character he wanted was cringey enough that I'll probably remember him for months.

Understand this.

Gank: unfair surprise attack, for example, a 2v2 becomes a 3v2 because Rengar was hiding in a bush
Has happened to me many times, I'm already on the lookout for it, and is one thing I'd love to master cause I'm a cheap ****.

Exchange: an in lane fight where resources are used on both sides be that health or cooldowns
Makes sense.

And I'll be in shortly so if you want to school me in-game then let's do it.
