    There's a lot to learn. It might help to watch a LoL stream, but it's easy to be lost if you don't understand the game yet. One streamer that I like in particular is Ciderhelm. He has a lot of knowledge about the game and tries to explain relevant aspects of the game as he plays. (Unfortunately he's gotten a bit more commercial and many of his prerecorded videos include ads now.) His Don't Feed ____ series is especially informative and comprehensive.

    Hi am currently playing this game... And for me I suggest you need to read guides depends on the champion that you want. Or watch some of the Champion Highlight of league of legends on youtube. For each champion they demo the skills :)

    it's interesting..but I find 'newbier' games to be most fun.



    low-rating games like bronze 4/5 people play a lot more risky on both sides so it's not so much a "wrong step. two turrets lost and an ace.".



    so...queue up. wherever you land you land. I qualified in bronze 1 and have fallen all the way to bronze 5, rose to bronze 4 and for my 'very very very limited' skill it's quite appropriate. i disliked games in bronze 1/2 where everyone was far beyond me.

    Been playing since beta and the biggest piece of advice I can offer is that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. Probably the most frustrating thing i remember from the starting days was the constant " WTF DID THEY JUST DO TO ME!!!"
    when you enter a game take those first 90 seconds to take a quick look at what your lane opponents, and junglers abilitys are try to keep them in mind: long range stuns, long range dmg, what abilities to mitigate dmg do your opponents have, SUMMONER skills etc.

    Knowing how your opponents will want to try to kill you is a good way in keeping yourelf alive.

    AND

    Creep kills,

    the more gold you got the more fun you'll have.

    It takes a lot of time and practice to be really good at League of Legends! Just practice "last-hitting" which is killing the minions at the last second to get their gold. A good way to practice is against bots.

    Don't let the mean spirited players get to you. A lot of MOBAs tend to have plenty of toxic players. Try to not let their toxicity spread to you. This can be difficult as we all have bad days. The most important thing though is to find champs that you find pleasing, practice with them mostly, and above all have fun. As for more in depth tips you should definitely watch as many videos on the game as you can stand. This is what helped me immensely and shouldn't be any different for new players to the game or genre in general.

    The initial tutorial doesn't learn you much. It basically tells you that you're playing a MOBA game and that you should find you way within it alone. Like others suggested, to get the hang of it your best recourse would be to watch Twitch streams of professionals.

    One of the confusing things about MOBA's in general is that when you are first trying out the game and playing against the computer or against other new people you can kind of just play whatever you want and where ever you want. Once you increase in level and skill then you generally find out that there is a generally accepted way to play the game, aka the meta. This currently exists as one top, one mid, two bot, and one jungle - but it wasn't always this way. As a new player it is not only beneficial to play the game to learn the mechanics and abilities of each champion but it is also worthwhile to watch guides specifically geared for new players which will help greatly. These will introduce some of the finer points of the game that you might not pick up on your own. You can find these by just using google or youtube to search for LoL guides.

    Play as much as you can, that's how you're going to get the hang of the game. You may try and watch videos/guides/yadda-yadda but personal experience is much more valuable.

    Have fun. Play a lot of co-op vs ai games and try to follow some of the recommended ingame builds, even though a lot of them are trash. Did someone introduce you to the game/ if so you should get them to play with you and help you out some more as well.
