New Players

I was looking for some expert advice in League. Here are a couple questions I had:
1. Favorite Champ and why?
2. If you could give 5 tips of advice to fresh level 30 accounts what would it be?
3. Do yall plan on quitting LoL for anything?

 

1- Vayne. I feel i can destroy anyone 1v1 even if im behind. Also she requires skill to maximize her damage and figting abilities.
2- Farm is important, towers > drake, Buffs on jungle are to be made, learn HOW to support, be ready to control your rage on SoloQ.
3-at the moment i dont play alot, full quitting no.

 

1. My favorite champion is Rengar. I love his bush jumping mechanics, and his ultimate is amazing. Overall, he's extremely fun to play, and he does a lot of damage in a very short amount of time, which I love. Rengar's not my best champion, sadly :'(, but he's my favorite.

2.
- Don't play solo queue. I know you're a big kid now, but a couple of placement games determine your starting tier. If you mess up because you don't know how ranked works, you're screwed. Start with arranged 5s on a throwaway team.
- Check your rune pages. Again, yay, you're level 30! Now get some comprehensive rune sets before you jump into ranked.
- Tell yourself you're bad. This is my advice for anyone who isn't satisfied with his or her position in ranked (or lack thereof). Play normals and customs and ranked teams, and always blame yourself first. You'd be surprised at how much you can improve before whining at your team.
- Learn multiple roles. You're a one-dimensional player if all you can do is just play AD, or support, or mid, etc. Learning other roles makes you a complete player and helps you with map awareness and knowing the capabilities of your teammates, among other things.
- Don't give up on ranked. Once you've followed the above, you're ready to hop into ranked. Stay calm and keep your chin up; losing a placement game isn't the end of the world.

3. Nope. I love the game, and the only restriction I have with it for now is time because I've got a busy schedule.

 

1. Favorite Champ and why?

Draven/Orianna. I'll just touch on Orianna. Really solid mid and brings some nice utility to the team. Mixed with hard engage, you can throw your ball onto Zac, Malphite, J4 and have a pretty devastating combo. She is easy to last hit with thanks to her passive.

2. If you could give 5 tips of advice to fresh level 30 accounts what would it be?

- Farm > Kills.
-Have an objective based mentality, not a must kill mentality.
-Expand your champion pool before ranked. At least understand all roles.
-Never forfeit soloq. Throws are strong.
-Really most importantly, don't have a negative attitude. Everyone has a bad game. Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure LoLSmurfin up here even makes mistakes at times


3. Do yall plan on quitting LoL for anything?

Nope it's a great game and constantly evolving.

 

I'm in no way an expert but here are my answers:
1. Favorite Champ and why?
I love playing AD so I have to say Caitlyn, I love her Poke, I find it easy to last hit, she has great AA range and is generally fun to play with. I do find some other champs such as nasus and J4 fun to play though.
2. If you could give 5 tips of advice to fresh level 30 accounts what would it be?
- Make sure you have a suitable amount of champions to play with (I would advise having good knowledge of 2/3 champions for each role)
-Make sure you have good runes available to play with (Yes they cost a lot of IP but they help a lot, especially early game)
-Always, always go for farm over kills, even though you may find it fun to get kills, having more farm then your opponent can help win games. (Farm is less important for jungle/support)
- Don't get frustrated when you do bad, just keep trying, if you are feeding try play safe and if need be, put team mates/enemy team on mite, you can pick up your game if you concentrate - ALWAYS keep a positive attitude!
- If your team is feeding/doing bad, help them out, give them a gank if they need it, tell them to hang on and play safe while they get help

3. Do yall plan on quitting LoL for anything?
Never, I've played many games and quit them because they're generally not fun/a waste of money (such as runescape membership) LoL is a free game, it's not always stressful, and it's fun to play, I won't be quitting anytime soon!

 

Thanks for all the responses so far! Great tips!

 

1. Favorite Champ and why?

Right now, Ziggs, Swain, Riven. They're all really fun champs imo, and I've won with them.​

2. If you could give 5 tips of advice to fresh level 30 accounts what would it be?

- Learn to CS well. Aim for 100 CS at 12 minutes if you're laning. Also know when to stay back and not farm to avoid dying.

- Master at least two roles with at least 2 champs each, and be prepared to play the other roles too. The champs you should be mastering should be the ones that are strongest at that time (or, just the ones you think are the most fun).

- Don't play ranked until you have 300+ wins in normals.

- It's been said over and over again but there's a shit ton of trolls/afkers/flamers/ragers in ranked. Click the mute button and try to learn from your own mistakes.

- Try to think about what your opponent is doing and time the other team's buffs.​

3. Do yall plan on quitting LoL for anything?

Life > LoL​

 

1. Favorite Champ and why?
Lee Sin. I love very mobile heroes/champs. Coming from Dota/Hon, I tend to like situations where I am able to control what I can do and use that advantage to win. Also because Lee Sin is Asian. :laugh:

2. If you could give 5 tips of advice to fresh level 30 accounts what would it be?
a: Don't feed
b: Exp over CS (Don't trade 100+ hp for 1-2 CS)
c: Play passive until you learn matchup
d: Rage
e: Think your always right and ignore people's advice in-game
f: do the opposition of d and e.

Life > League. You should know this.

 

I love mobile champs, such as Lee Sin and Riven, they're soo fun to play.

Lee Sin
Riven
Vladimir
Thresh

- Never FF throwloQ. Really dont. i've seen too many throws to think FFing is okay.

- Dont play ranked unless you have atleast 3 champions you can play in EVERY role; and you can play EVERY role to a good standard.

- Raging at someone isn't going to make you better in anyway. Dont do it. Focus on your mistakes and improve on them.

- Practise CSing in a custom game, aim for perfect cs (none missed), thats what i did to get good at csing.

- I heard you're going from Level 1-30 via ARAM. Dont. Get as much practise in SR as you can before jumping into ranked.

 

You all need to sort your priorities out..

Advice:

I agree with Smurfin. I got to 30 and thought I was hot shit because I already filled some rune pages and went like 65% winrate as I climbed to 30. However, my MMR was still basically 0, so I ended up having nightmares for placement matches. On the other hand, if you wait for 50-100 normals your MMR will probably get up much higher, and even if you "fail" your placements, you can still end up higher than bronze.

 

I don't know if normals really affect the teammates you'll get in placements (I don't think they do?). But I've seen so many fresh 30s that barely know what draft mode is hop in and be like, "Why is Amumu crossed out and gray? My only other champion is support Wukong" or something to that effect.

 

+1 to this... check yourself boysss. Get yalls shit together

 

I am not that good but... heres my answer
1. Favorite Champ and why?
As a person who loves a balanced champion above all else, jayce would have to be my favorite champion. He has so many combinations its just fun to play him. I typically play him as an ad bruiser but he has alot of potential with IE and sword of divine as an AD burst champion as well

2. If you could give 5 tips of advice to fresh level 30 accounts what would it be?
1. Familiarize yourself with your champions, you want to know your limits
2. Don't back every 2 seconds, try to make yourself last a bit longer, the time you spend in lane can be surprisingly helpful
3. Don't depend on the guides on the internet, try building items that would fit the situation
4. Don't get frustrated if you die early, if you died then you should know they have the advantage so don't keep going in because odds are you will lose a fight 1 vs 1
5. Have FUN remember, its a GAME
3. Do yall plan on quitting LoL for anything?
NO!

 

I only did draft mode (and quite successfully) from level 20 and onward. I knew the meta, but I just didn't realize how much more shitty the ranked players were than the draft mode guys I had been playing with. It took me like 6 games to realize the game style was COMPLETELY different, and by then I was already doomed to Bronze V.

 

1. Favorite Champ and why?

Too many to name, I mostly main Katarina/KhaZix/Nidalee/Jax

2. If you could give 5 tips of advice to fresh level 30 accounts what would it be?

1. Focus on CS (Atleast 65-80 per 10 minutes when youre new)
2. Focus on lane control.
3. If youre winning your lane, dont B, until you you have around ~1500-2000 gold. If youre the ADC, i dont B until I get 1550 gold and rush for BF sword, if im APC, then 1600.
4. Know how much damage your skills do. When you know how much you can burst out, you know the ideal time to all in.
5. Kills IS NOT EVERYTHING. I've been in a match where it was 30-60 and we still won because we have map control, more towers is better than more kills.
6. WARDS WARDS WARDS, I DONT CARE IF YOURE NOT SUPPORT, RUN AROUND WITH WARDS! If you have wards everywhere you prevent yourself from getting ganked and can counter gank and even steal buffs.

3. Do yall plan on quitting LoL for anything?

Studies/Family.

 

1. Favorite Champ and why?

Swain/Karma/Lee Sin

Swain - Easily can 1v5 teams if you get yourself ahead early. Not a very commonly picked champion either so that's a plus

Karma - I think Karma is like secretly broken right now. I see nobody play her, but the damage/utility she offers is ridiculous.

Lee Sin -Easy to carry with, difficult to kill, high damage output.

2. If you could give 5 tips of advice to fresh level 30 accounts what would it be?

I think you should learn how to play Shen/Soraka, Veigar/Nasus, Ezreal

Shen/Soraka - forces you to have global map awareness. Self-explanatory.

Veigar/Nasus - forces you to learn how to farm well. If you don't, it seriously can set your gameplay behind.

Ezreal - Gives you the hang of skillshots, positioning, dodging, etc. Easy to play too.

3. Do yall plan on quitting LoL for anything?

Probably.
