gogo damage!

I'd recommend trying some other champions a bit as well to get a feeling of what you might enjoy, and then stick to one a bit. Once you learn how to 'build' your character you can then get a feel for trying new things, different builds, jungling and stuff like that :)

there a website that has some guides

http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legen ... rank-guide

for example

There is one that I pulled my item build for Alistar off of, which works wonders.

After that its a case of learning to check the minimap loads and trying to predict what the enemy team is going to do next.

FYI, be careful if you ever decide to uninstall this game. I've heard several reports that the uninstaller sometimes decides to wipe the entire contents of the folder LoL is installed in rather than just the LoL files themselves. If this folder is the root directory of your hard drive that tends to be an issue.

So far, this game has not been worth the effort.

2 days to download. 2 hours to patch once installed. A 15 minute queue to play for the first time.

Sod this. I'm off for some fun. I might be back later.

?? no idea why you had a 15 minute queue

My longest queue ever was a minute, plus you can do the intro thing if you're really desperate to play.

Last Saturday? evening Nonplus re-downloaded the whole client in about an hour, with patching.

I can't download at maximum speeds, it screws up the streaming of SkyAnytime if I do. :(

Ok. I admit. I am loving this game.

But I think it's time to move on to intermediate AI...

I've got the basics, but I'm very sure I'm missing the point of a lot of the game...

Too much information, far too quickly it feels. :(

1) If you kill an enemy hero you get bonus gold
2) If you destroy a tower you get bonus gold
3) Last hitting mobs/jungle dudes gets gold
4) Killing the enemy nexus wins the game

The more gold you get, the better the items you get and thus you become more powerful. The key to most games is to sync up with your team mates to accomplish all of the above. And its harder than you might think ;)

Some people play a blinder and are unkillable... they become super powerful and carry the rest of the team.

The items you buy from the shop make a huge difference in your character.

Junglng, Roaming, Zoning, consumables, wards, counters... I'm slowly getting there. Slowly.

Intermediate bots are definitely more hardcore than beginner bots. I'm having to change my playstyle as they are much better at this zoning thing than me, but I am sticking with a hero to practice specific abilities and builds, but I'm not sure if a simple character is a good one to practice with.

best thing is to just simply pick a hero you enjoy. I enjoy alistar but then I found his dmg substandard... this weekend I succumbed and bought poppy and had a bit of a blinder with one of my games, so I think I've found a keeper ;)

how to choose? try the ones on random rotation, read their spell tooltips and go pewpew. Dont forget to read the 'passive' ability they have, it will help you in the long run

Tristana was (Is?) pretty awesome, but I've had a couple of games where I would just get raped consistently, but then I had a game that lasted nearly an hour and I ended up stacking my attack speed items until I had something like a 2.5 speed. I was just a roaming death machine, but only late game, and as a result I got 8 kills within 5 minutes and we came back from two inhibitors down to win.

I want to try melee, as a buffed Cho'Gath just seems unbelievable...
