When I first started, I saw myself like a commander-in-lane with the minions as my army. And I felt responsible for their well-being so I went first to defend them. Then we got to turrets. And I died. And I thought it worth.

totally honorable noob mistake

The first champion i regularly played was Tristana, with her blue skin and white hair . I went around telling people I was a smurf. They must have wondered why I was so bad....

My biggest noob mistake? Read how much damage summoner 11 did picked it for laning and spent most of the game screaming at my screen trying to figure out why smite wasn't working on champions...really not a noob mistake I was just 3 seasons ahead of everyone else :p

famps0Feb 18, 2015155 votes

playing master yi and thinking I was really good at the game

TheMajesticCatFeb 17, 2015122 votes

I built thornmail on Ashe because misleading tutorial.

My biggest noob mistake? No idea, I still am one.

MurderSlashFeb 17, 2015106 votes

Up until around level 30, I was convinced tryndamere spinning through walls was a glitch riot intended to fix.

LoerkaFeb 17, 201599 votes

1 week after i introduced my friend to League

Me: I checked your match history.... why are you building AD on Annie and AP on Jax? My friend: Because i'm not stupid lol Me: Champion like Annie are mages.... you need building AP on them, and Jax is a AD, build AD and tanky items. My friend: Exactly i'm not stupid, Annie spell are already strong so i build AD and i will have strong spell AND attack lolz... Same with Jax i build AP so my spell will be op too. Look like you don't know play this game, man. Me: ....

ArveanorFeb 17, 201544 votes

but ap jax is pretty deadly.

SirsirFeb 17, 201532 votes

And ADC Annie is not all that stupid. Stuns, long auto range, Q o help last hits, free thornmail and defenses...

Not something I would take to ranked but it can be fun

JerqodFeb 18, 201595 votes

My biggest noob mistake was thinking "going bot" meant quitting the game to get replaced by an AI and everyone was mean for telling me to do it.

CynicattFeb 17, 201593 votes

When I started playing and I read "flash goes to your cursor" I was like "Yes! With THIS. I CAN BE ANYWHERE!" I thought I could put my cursor all the way across the map and instantly blink to it. It took me a couple matches to figure that one out.

namingproblemsFeb 17, 201581 votes

thinking i could solo baron after soloing dragon

insaiyanbaccaFeb 17, 201580 votes

i remember building a shiv on everything because "lightning makes everything better"

DenstenFeb 17, 201573 votes

I used to think muramana and seraph's embrace were DLC items.

FuhqerFeb 17, 201566 votes

I started league because some of my friends told me about the game. One of the things they told me about was the jungle and jungle monsters you could kill for gold. Well, my biggest noob moment came in one of my first bot games when I laned against an Annie bot. At one point early in the game this bear started attacking me. I assumed it was one of those jungle monsters that had come out and attacked me. And that game those bears kept showing up and beating me up. A few days later my friends encouraged me to jungle. I promptly told them no way those bears in the jungle are way to strong, they kill me too easily. I informed them my plan was to stay out of the jungle and run when the monsters came out. Their responds was.. WHAT??? What bears? After a little discussion they figured it out and got a good laugh while explaining, "dude, that wasn't a jungle creep, that was Annie's ult. And then they explained how her ult worked.

When I first started playing I had no idea you could build into items. So I would just save up 2-3000 gold to fully buy an item.

Knight LibraryFeb 18, 201555 votes

I refunded master yi thinking he was to expensive and a waste.

SairaiFeb 17, 201553 votes

I made no mistakes (well... ok not entirely true) But I did learn from the best on my very first day. Ashe + item 3075 Wins games

How Do You MetaFeb 18, 201552 votes

I ulted as Malzahar a Wukong's decoy, I cried for 40 minutes after the game.

Pokk Fry RiceFeb 18, 201525 votes

hugs I know that feel bro

Busty DemonessFeb 17, 201551 votes

My biggest noob mistake that I can remember?

Chasing Singed when my abilities are on cooldown.

RudochopsFeb 17, 201551 votes

Biggest noob moment was trying to get friends to play league with me : \

BOBnRobFeb 18, 201550 votes

Okay I didn't get to share this n00b moment before, but I will now.

One time I played a bots game with my younger cousin, who was using Garen. I saw his first item was a mana crystal, so I explained that Garen had no mana and he should build something else. I looked back like 10 minutes later and he had SIX mana crystals and nothing else. I asked him why the heck he would build that, and his reply was priceless. "Well you said he had no mana so I was trying to get him some."

I like the artwork of the first posts! Source of those?

ArieFeb 17, 2015125 votes

We love them too! They're by CrazyBoris, who I linked in the post. Be sure to watch "Can't Killean the Zilean." You will not regret it. :)

JunkοFeb 17, 2015253 votes

So when is Zilean's dance being changed to that again?

ArieFeb 17, 2015340 votes

Omg, Rito pls.

JunkοFeb 17, 2015141 votes

He should dance automatically while reviving from his own ult too.

PryotraFeb 17, 2015103 votes

I want this as a part of groovy zilean especially. It just makes sense.

BlackquillFeb 17, 201561 votes

Arie plz, you ARE Rito! D:

Trippie CSFeb 17, 201538 votes

My biggest mistake, was building full runaans on Ashe thinking that i would get like 12 projectiles lol

ShiiiroFeb 18, 201536 votes

Using Annie's ultimate exclusively to help me take towers.

HjavaFeb 18, 201530 votes

I used to walk around playing ad kassadin with timat because you know the items in the damage category are normally helpful in dealing more damage.. had no idea what ap was .. also was carrying smite trying to kill people ended up smiting minions all the time.. was wondering if i kept missing read that spell at least 300 times.. 410 true damage why doesn't it work on champions? True story.. played about 100 games like that.. Kassadin summoner 11 item 3077

Output from that experience: I gotta learn to read.

xVoltzzzFeb 18, 201529 votes

I remember that I uninstalled and reinstalled league twice because I had shiv and I thought I broke the game when all the lightning went off...oh the memories

FerrovixFeb 17, 201528 votes

I'm pretty sure I used to think Warwick ult made me invincible, so I'd end up diving turret and dying almost every time I used it. took me a few games to realize that it didn't and I was just being stupid.

Nutella GodFeb 18, 201525 votes

I don't have just one noob mistake that stands out, but I am the god of failed towerdives.

Toa of DeathFeb 17, 201524 votes

I love CrazyBoris's videos! You have no idea how excited I am to see my biggest noob moment illustrated by him.

AquariusGineFeb 17, 201519 votes

Dear Riot, your time is better spent working on game balance.

(No offense intended)

J GrídFeb 17, 2015313 votes

Logged in to downvote this... sorry dude, but Rito does these things to keep us entertained. Also, if you were a worker, would you want to be stuck in an office doing nothing? It's great that Riot replys to comments and even just asks "How's everyone doing?"

Tôi Mid Gank TemFeb 17, 201548 votes

EXACTLY!!!

Rew711Feb 17, 201517 votes

My biggest noob mistake....................................................

It's a toss up from: Buying only item 3144 for Mordekaiser in my 3rd ever Ranked match cause I didn't know what to buy. or Going as Trundle as an ADC because no one told me they were marksmen, also Ranked. and maybe Ashe top... never played her before, not Ranked.

You got as far as level 30 (ranked) not knowing adcs were marksman? How is that even possible? It takes something like 2 months if you play like crazy...

AsulFeb 17, 201517 votes
