How to teach someone league

So I've recently gotten my wife interested in league of legends we've played bot games until she's gotten good at them. Bot games on the other hand last less than twenty minutes and she isn't getting much further on learning. Tried doing blind pick but me being level 30 and her 10 and new to the game.. didn't do so well with everyone else that's level 30 (assuming at least 18 since masteries) so I tried making a new account which is actually worse as everyone's a Smurf playing talon/riven/volibear trying to kill people who don't know how to play yet. So I'm kinda at a loss of how to actually be able to have an actual game with her learning something. Currently she's playing ADC and I've been supporting. I've not been playing chars that is going to get fed as I don't think she'll learn anything if I'm just wracking kills up all game. Any suggestions?

...if you want to stay married, don't try to get her into League.

Don't play with her. If she's not learning anything playing with you, try advising her as she plays.

You should let her play on her own. Let her play a few normals alone. Then, download the replay and watch it together, while you offer her advice. AVOID standing WHILE she plays. That's extremely annoying.

Furthermore, team up for some aram games and create some custom games to effectively teach her how to capitalize on mistakes, solidify her cs'ing, learn wave management, objective control and talk her into playing some 1v1's with you( you can use an empty mastery and rune page).

Play custom bot matches since they can last as long as you want them to if you don't push towers. Longest I've made one last was nearly an hour.

Go into a custom game, at first on her team to practice csing and orbwalking, then against her to teach her positioning, duelling, zoning, and things like that.

Call her a shit%%%% when she misses CS.

Badger her for ever mistake.

It's always her fault.

Serious note, teach her to play support.

Make her follow you around as Soraka or Sona.

Teach basics like warding and importance of objectives.

Besides, League could use more support players.

tbh i think the best is to just get thrown into the fray and get your ass stomped till you know what you're doing

I always told my friends to solo it out. Back then I was the one with a laptop and they would use my laptop while I work. When I was home I would hdmi my laptop to my comp and they would watch as I explained what and why I was doing what I was. We would always talk about it and they would always ask questions and I would give my opinion,

You say you don't wanna solo-carry; alright. I'm gonna tell you that you should probably solo carry. See, if you totally dominate (assuming you can do that consistently), say, as teemo support (huehuehue), everyone on the other team is going to be some combination of tilted and/or weak. This will reduce their relative skill when compared to your wife, and allow her to do well, since she will most likely have several levels/items on the other people. This ease will allow her to learn other aspects of the game, and, git gud, as they say.

I actually highly suggest teemo support - I do it every time my friends want to try some derpy thing botlane (last time was ryze adc), and I often turn games around all by myself. His shrooms give him a global prescence, and allow you to turn your botlane into a shroom fortress, making the game a lot easier for your wife. Its also hilarious.
