Played for a good year. Then quit. There's a Tryndamere every game (not too hard to counter (Ignite + Children of the Grave on Morde usually gets them easily, cause all they do is autoattack, then when they finally realize their health is too low, o shat). Tryn is...... it's just no skilled players looking for easy kills most of the time.

My main were Morde, Rammus, Wukong, Orianna and Kayle. The game lags too much for me now. Canadian internet sucks, we get ripped off so much. O, and 1 hour of LoL usually translates into 4.

I played Twisted Treeline 90% of time. I prefer it, smaller map, so it's much faster paced for the individual player and the game doesn't drag out for too long.

How do you build her?

I try to get a Philo Stone, Merc Treads and Heart of Gold ASAP. I'm still toying with transition items but Aegis is a good compromise item. I think one of Rylai's and Frozen Mallet is a must (or even both to be honest), Sun Fire Cape and Force of Nature also work really well. Then I finish my Shurelya's and Randuin's.

So something like:
Shurelya's, Randuins, Merc Treads, Aegis, Frozen Mallet, Force of Nature. That gives a nice blend of HP, armor, magic resist and utility. Her kit is godly so you can build whatever you need to be honest.

Been a little discouraged to play this game for a number of reasons lately.

Most level 30 matches will result in a leaver, or just someone flat out sucking (I really don't have enough gamer friends to do 3-5 queues all the time). I know people have a bad game from time to time, but just the absolutely piss poor attitudes that accompany it are repulsive - I understand that this is a product of a casual gaming model.

I guess my option would be to start playing a lot more ranked games, but those tend to be just as bad. Most games I feel that if I don't absolutely carry (and I really can't for the most part) we'll just flat out get stomped.

The tribunal is, well, seemingly pointless. That's all I can say about that.


I still have fun if friends are on, but the game is definitely all-or-nothing. Not a whole lot of gain unless you have an extreme amount of patience for other players.

It's too bad Riot hates healers, because I'd really like another one other than Sona and Soraka.

Because I edited my post after your response, I was jungle Kayle (underrated) and I ulted Kennen cuz we had 0 initiation so I figured him with speed boost and electric rush could make something happen. Too bad it doesn't stop CC.

Im pretty new to this game too lvl 14 now I play TT normal mostly and I play with Garen I find him pretty easy to figure out.

Played a game tonight and we had our third player dc but totally dominated the other team in kills, we ended up losing in the end but it was funny they were cursing me in chat.

Nasus or any ad carry will help you practice you're last hitting amazingly.

Try last hitting minions as much as possible while trying to avoid aggression. Know that buffs and dragons are game breakers and are priorities when you have nothing to do or have a chance to grab them. Also being cautious is almost always better than being aggressive.

For champs, try and practice ranged AD or AP carries as they are great ways to win games. Some inexpensive but worth while champs to pick up early:
Sivir, Annie, Ashe, Tristana (I think she's free if you like Riot on Facebook), Garen, Soraka, Ryze, Nasus, Taric. However, take advantage of the free week champions too and if you like one, save up or wait for them to be on RP sale.

Don't waste IP on runes until you are level 20. Try and play real games more than bot games as you learn bad habits against bots.

Otherwise good luck and have fun! Oh and be wary that there are a lot of idiots, ragers, and trolls in this game. Try and stay positive and avoid conflict or mediate it in game if it arises. So many times people will be rage typing and get caught and die or something stupid.

Also, we can play a custom game if you want someone to show you the ropes. My in game name is Sensfanman as it is on here.
Necroed but really? I guess I just figured go with AI for a while until you figure things out and then get into PvP.

I'm new.

Get the hang of the game at first then, then groove your way into pvp as soon as possible.

Could you explain the bad habits though? I played and basically I try to stick to a lane and help out if someone else is getting pushed by the bots too much.

I generally attack the bots (like shoot them once, run away, finish a minion or two, shoot again and if I feel I have the damage and their health is low enough I kill the bot(s)) and go for finishing kills on the minions. I try to not die once in the match.

I don't really kill any of the neutral NPCs for bonuses - I guess I should? :S

Once you start getting some strong (postive) scores in the bot games consistently I think you should be ready and comfortable for pvp.

TBH beginner bots are better for new players and getting a better feel for the mechanics of the game. Intermediate bots on the other hand, they can actually be pretty hard. If you have someone on your team that is useless, and trust me you will, they can get fed and strong quick. They don't miss a beat or a combo, and if they get to that point they are alot better then most low level pvp players.

In my opinion new players should be playing pvp by atleast level 10.

And trying to not die in a match is great, but playing too passive can be somewhat of a problem over the game. Try and have a nice mix of passive and aggressive play, if you see that you opponent is obviously a worse player, don't be afraid to poke them hard and try and go in for the early kill, because in LoL if you can rack up a bunch of early kills you snowball out of control very quickly and be absurdly stronger then the enemy laner.

But if you are having a trouble against an enemy and they have gotten a a kill or two early off you, try your best to play passive and wait for them to screw up.

Nothing feels worse than losing an intermediate bot game.

Intermediate bots get fed regardless. They can have 2 kills and 50 CS and they'll roll around with better items than you after 25 minutes anyways.

Can still carry a team against them if you're.. well, a carry.

I managed to play one pvp game and one game against intermediate. I won both.

I found the PvP game a lot easier. I went 7/1/6, destroyed 4 turrets and 4 inhibitors.

What would be good Champions that I should purchase? I have Ashe, Garen, Kayle at the moment.
