How to improve the new player experience

Riot, it's time to update your new player guide(s). I've played this game for 3 or 4 years, and I've made a new account each year just to see how the new player experience is (Before I bring anymore friends into the game I always want to test the waters). Here's a few things you need to do.

  • Upgrade tutorials

The tutorials don't teach ANYTHING except how to click and buy items. We need tutorials to teach how to:

  • CS properly (last hitting)

  • Fight and rotate skills

  • Ward

  • Position in fights

  • Stop smurfs flooding the new player experience

Sometimes people make a 2nd account. I made one because I wanted to level up with my friend who was starting to play. Some do it to play ranked without their main being demoted. Some people do it to be toxic and stomp new players. Why not add something so a player could make a 2nd account, level 30, with a set amount of IP? Linked to their main so if they're toxic on one (or get banned) it carries over. I think it would make the new player experience better.

  • Give players 5 champions for free

There are champs (Made for new players) that cost 450 IP. Why not just give them for free? They even cover all roles. Garen for top, Warwick for jungle, Annie for mid, Ashe for adc, and Soraka for support. Just let them learn a single champ in each role so they can learn the role itself.

I really hope you guys at Riot consider some of these changes. I think it could really help new players improve.

With free rotating champions every week I don't think anybody needs to get an additional 5 for free.

Oh yeah and we can get free champions by doing the special skin things. Tristana Alistar and maybe Garen can all be unlocked for free.

It's not just a free champ, it's a 450 IP champ. Not that expensive and made for new players to learn on. The free rotation champs are sometimes high skill cap champs.

I think you need to be on the social media sites to do them though

Definitely needs to be improved. And something needs to be doe about those smurfs. I had some good times leveling up when I first started and I hate to think that new players are getting that experience anymore :(
