and I've never played DotA or HoN
How long will it take for me to get used to it, and will it suck at the beginning from not knowing what's going on? (So many champions I can't know what each one does and what to expect for a while)

Yes it will suck in the beginning. It takes time to remember skills and champions and what they do. I just started playing yesterday and I've played Dota before and it's still quite hard to adjust.

You're not smart enough for LoL.
Don't try.

LoL has a bit of a smaller learning curve than DotA or HoN.
LoL has:
1. A matchmaking system that pairs you up with people around your level
2. Recommended items (which were revised not too long ago to better benefit new people)
3. A tutorial! (a really bad one, but it's better than nothing I suppose)
Once you get to know your way around LoL, and find champion(s) you like, you're pretty much set.

Just play with someone that's good and let him teach you. I could hold my own in one day.

Best way to get better IMO is to solo queue. Playing practice games against bots doesn't help, because bots are easy as shit to take down (I can get up to 50 kills with no deaths fighting bots easy...)

Do you do anything but flame threads in hopes of getting to say "umad" ? :s
Anywho, I'll try to get some LoL time in today. No idea how well I'll do though, as it looks like knowledge of a lot of champions / items / farming techniques is pretty important for success.

I'm really competitive haha, I'm not as itnerested in learning 'how to play' as I am interested in feeling like nothing can touch me if I'm not being gank'd or counter-character'd (if LoL has a setup like that, where certain character choices vs. another will win every time(excluding support))

Depending on your team it usually takes around 40 minutes if they go for a full attack.
Also, if you like being a DPS, use Twisted Fate or Master Yi since they can basically carry the team. :3
