Indeed.

OP, did you follow the advice I gave you on the first page, or did you just start joining matchmaking games right away?

I did, it did not work.

You know, I quite forgot to tell you about LoL's 2 free champions.

If you like them on facebook, they will give you Tristana, a wonderful ranged carry, for free.

If you subscribe to their youtube channel, they will give you Alistair, a tank/support, for free. They both will come with a skin, and you'll be able to use the champion as well.

Ooh, thats cool. Also me and a few friends at school have decided to make a LoL team. we would all be awful newbies but it would be fun

Goes Kills/Deaths/Assists.

When you get better and around level 30 the bot games would be entirely worthless, but you should be able to get something like 25-40/0/X easy.

Should go tutorial, custom, co-op vs Ai beginner, PVP, co-op vs ai intermediate, PvP, ranked. Then probably onto HoN or DotA as LoL is a sort of my first DotA, yet I stick with it cause I like it's style a little more than DotA's. Yet with the summoners, masteries and runes constantly throwing a brick at any sense of balance I sometimes wonder why.

My thoughts on the community are rather mixed though as I solo queue as a support. It's like Russian roulette, others will do their job and I'll keep them up and it'll be a good game or I could get pugs that seem like they got hit by the before mentioned brick and demand wards constantly and me to use clairvoyance constantly despite the gold and cooldown; even if all the points that should be covered are.

You shouldn't have to worry about it until much later, but it should look something like this.

I like to throw an additional one into baron or dragon depending on how the enemy team ward hunts.

If you decide to go with Ashe it'll probably do a good job of teaching you map awareness as you basically have clairvoyance for your E, your ulti also being global depends on this. Eventually you'll know exactly where the enemy is depending on how long they have been missing, how their score is, how their gear is and how they've been in the lane (from the minimap if they've been passive or aggressive with creep score as well to tell if they're pushing or the person they're laning against is just really passive). The hawkshot/clairvoyance will then just confirm it by either finding them or removing one of the few possibilities.

Learning the jungle routes also helps even if you don't jungle, though the changes have sort of messed it up a bit at the moment. But you don't have to worry about that for a while anyway. Most of the matches will be everyone picks whatever and there is no team comp until it picks up around the mid to late 20s, then drops off considerably again at 30.

Really?

*needs a support Character*

Oh yes, he's quite free. Look on their main page on the right for the Scarecrow, or Fiddlesticks if we're being formal. He'll take you over to their youtube follow page, and I believe that'll give you Alistair in classic and chaos grape flavors. The skin is light purple with spirally horns.

As of right now, there isn't a promotion for following them on Twitter.

Tristana's less impressive, just some pink hair. Still, a free champion is a free champion.
