Tips for league
Hey guys, I started playing league today and despite my formal thoughts on this game and other RTS games being trash, I changed my mine. It's quite fun but, mostly only if you're playing with friends. I was wondering if anyone can give me some newbie tips on how to get good. I played three games with 2 loses and 1 win but I always have more deaths than kills and in the last game, I would die every single time, I wouldn't be able to even hurt 1 block of hp from the opponent. I didn't even rush too much. Anyways I would appreciate any tips etc.

If you go into the champions list under your profile, you can filter the champions based on various categories. There is a "recommended" category that I would suggest looking into. Any champion classified as "recommended" is intended to be good with new players. As you play different champions you will learn what strategies you like and don't like, and eventually decide on what champions you like the most.
My personal strategy involves having a variety of champions to choose from to compliment my team. I can use the "champion spotlight" videos on youtube to get an early look at a particular champion. This helps me decide whether I want a particular champion or not.
In addition, LoL hosts the entire item list on their website. So I used that to create a cheat sheet of items. The cheat sheet include about 3 items per category which allows me to quickly decide on items that counter enemy effects or boost my own. Granted, if this is too much work for you, you can always use the recommended items in-game.

Veigar not noob friendly lmao. Lots of people won't even know how to Combo with him correctly and will miss out on the damage.
I recommend playing at least 3 or 4 CPU games to get used to the gameplay. I would follow a build on either Lolking, Solomid, or Mobafire.

1. Surrender only if you are [b]absolutely[/b] sure you cannot win.
2. If your team does not communicate or argues a lot, you will most likely lose.
3. In the beginning of the games, hide in the enemies bush if you're on top/bottom. Wait for them to come and then surprise attack them with a team mate. This usually either kills them or sets them running. Either way, it gives you the lead.
I seem to can't use.. any champions besides Garen. I tried other champions and failed to the max.. just not used to them :L
[quote=prestigechef]I'm not familar with certain terms you used such as: AD CARRY, play karma, ward, enemy laner, turret dive, lux, teemo[/quote]
when you progess along the game many of these terms will become clearer
AD CARRY: a champion who is an attack damage dealer who if recieves enough kills and gold and literally "carry" the team on his back to victory
karma: a crappy champion that no one plays
ward: sight ward 75 gold you put in a area and it lets u see it on the minimap that you might not have been able to see before
enemy laner: the enemy champion who is in the same lane as you
turret dive: a desperate attempt to finish off the opponent champion while they are underneath thier turret rendering you suseptable to turret damage
lux/teeme: annoying champions

Karma is a bad champion don't be her.
Teemo is an annoying noob champion same with Lux.
Enemy Laner is the person you're vsing in your lane.
Turret dive is attacking an enemy while their turret is attacking you.
AD Carry is the champion with does the most damage late game and will eventually lift the game to victory.
Ward is an item that will reveal an area for 3 minutes.

uhh i dont think you should worry about focusing AD carries right now, youll learn what they are later on. karma, lux, and teemo are champions and turret diving is wheb you go close to an enemy turret and it locks on to you. just stay away from turrets unless you have minions nearby and never go close to a turret if theres an enemy champion nearby.

oh, nevermind, you should definitely use garen. i used him when i first started and hes great for beginners. hes pretty tanky and great in 1v1 situations, although hes easy to counter later on when you get to a higher lvl. he isnt free atm but hes extremely cheap, so itll just take a few games to get him.
