Hey I am brand new to this awesome game and i am really enjoying it so far I think I would just enjoy it so much more if I knew how to play it better. Just go ahead and write down what you think are good tips that could help me be a better LOL player and also how you play in the beginning of a match and the middle and the end. Thanks.
Varda1 votesCS - getting the last hit on minions. CS = Gold = Items = Power.
Vision - If yoy know where the enemy is, you will die a lot less. (Obviously unless you just have abhorrent positioning).
Map awareness - that mini map is just as important as your champ. Know what is going on around you so you can help or call for help accordingly.
Tab - know what your opponents and allies are building. Dont be surprised by zhonyas. Dont build two identical auras on your team. Also pay attention to the objective timers. Know when dragon and baron is up and help your team pressure.
VictoryDance961 votesWelcome to League friend. Just playing normal games will just help you understand the game so much. When I starting, I had absolutely no understanding of the strategies of the game. Although I am no expert, just playing has made me understand the game and its champions better.
The best advice I can give is to go to Mobafire.com and read up on champion guides. This will not only help you with a particular champion, but will also give you tips on things like warding, last-hitting, positioning, etc.
IMO the most important things for new players to learn are:
You get that you will be way ahead of most people who play this game. I know it is a lot to take in, but just relax because you will learn it all in time.
ID Ace1 votes1st of all your creep score is the most important thing make sure you have at least 100 by 20 minutes if you can beat that its even better 2nd of all warding is extremely important and i don't think people stress this enough warding bushes can cause gank's to be useless and waste the junglers time and knowing when the enemy is trying to siege baron or dragon is also very important it alows for a sense of control to the game 3rd try your best to keep your deaths low the more fed the enemy's are the harder it is to push towers and win trades and team fight's 4th of all when laning against an enemy champion its important to know your weaknesses and strength's and there weaknesses and strength's so you know what you need to watch out for in there kit and what you need to hit them with to secure a successful trade or to secure a kill 5th when trading make sure you have more minion's then the enemy laner and that you arent pushed too far out you dont want to ris losing the trade or death from minion aggro and ganks another thing is if you want to learn more go on youtube and look up challenger players that make guides for newer and noobier player's. p.s. make sure you have a pink ward on the map at almost all times its understandable if you cant keep up with it but it is quite liable against certain match up's in lane and for clearing other players vision ward's and invisible traps
Jabberwöcky1 votesTake your chat box, and throw it off screen.
More than half the time, its fully of toxicity or distractions.
Half your attention should be on CSing, the other half should be on Vision. Such as Wards and your map. If their mid laner is gone while your top lane, you got about a half chance their going B, or wanting to Gank someone, and if its mid ganking someone, you have another half a chance its either you, or bot lane.
Focus on that, dont back talk people, stay focused.
Focus on CS.
Focus on Vision.
Congrats you are better than Gold.

Tip:
Play everyday till your fingers hurt.
Buy AD quints first so that you can farm easier.
If games are hard for you to do well in. Make a custom game and practice farming until you can kill all farm in every wave just by auto attacking.
There is no such thing as a main champion for you. Do step 3 with all champions you own until you can get all farm with all your champions.
Learn what all of your champions abilities do. Go onto http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/ and read what each champions full abilities do.
If you can do steps 1 - 5 this will likely make you dominate every game. However in order to consistently win you must learn about game flow and strategy.
To learn this I suggest you watch Trick2G on his stream @ http://www.twitch.tv/trick2g he explains pushing objectives in an exciting way that makes sense. (listen to what he says don't necessarily play the champions he plays)
The last bit of info I can give you is to go into every game not with the intent to win but to work on a very specific skill of some kind and evaluate after the game how you did at that one thing.
Welcome to the rift and good luck

Dediguise1 votesRule #1 You are bad. Everything you do can be done better by someone else. No matter how much you play, no matter how good you get, you will always make mistakes. And that's okay. You're gonna have games where you get stomped by player playing champs that feel unfair either because they are played by more skilled players, but just as frequently because you don't understand how they work. Mechanical skill and knowledge are two separate and equally important things. And you don't have to be good to have knowledge. In fact you learn more from losing than from winning. The important thing to takeaway from this is that even the worst player can know more about the game than you and you should be willing to take criticism as long as it is productive criticism. If they are rude and raging then mute and report them. But if they are simply frustrated then try to make a plan to win the game with them.
Rule#2 Communication is everything. Using it to coordinate as a team will allow you to beat more experienced players on a regular basis. Master the Smart ping system, it's your best friend.
Rule#3 Learn how to lasthit. During the laning phase your focus should not be kills. It's lasthitting minions. Basically, don't attack minions until right before they are about to die. This keeps you from pushing to tower which makes you less vulnerable to being ganked by the jungler. Additionally your opponents are going to frequently try to push their lane. This means they will level up faster, but that you will be farming under your turret a lot which is easy to do once you know how. It also makes them vulnerable to being ganked by YOUR jungler. There are advanced mechanics regarding this, but they don't matter if you don't know how the basics work.
Rule#4 Bot games are good in moderation, but playing them extensively will make you a worse player. Bots have predictable patterns that players don't and learning these will only make you more predictable to play against.
Rule#5 Don't watch highlight reels.
