They gonna think a 30 min game is a long game. They gonna get rekt by Yasuo smurfs. They gonna go all caps rage on Tryndamere players. They gonna instalok Master Yi. They gonna think the shortest ranged ADC is the best ADC. Graves Mordekaiser They gonna buy thornmail. ON EVERYONE. They gonna think Fiora is a skillcap champ. They gonna think adcs belong in the jungle.

They might even think you should rush item 3075 on Ashe.

I never understood what was ping through the head of riot for that tutorial lol. Of course in season 1. Remember you could go whatever champ you wanted in any lane, jg"s were pretty rare and you could go tank anone, ap anyone, or ad anyone. I specifically remember going tank and crit chance katarina and carrying lull.

IIRC it was simply a safety net to prevent a player from ever dying in the tutorial level.

You can't die anyway, your health never drops below 1.

the more damage you recieve in tutorial the less you take so that at some point you have 100% damage negation.

They gonna forget about the most broken champ right now against Marksmen. Rammus

Dat 58% winrate though

Forget about Fizz, forget about Yi, forget about Rengar. Rammus is truly the ADC's worst nightmare.

I like what you did there.

Also, I'm with you on this one.

With 67 million Unique players, league of legends reach is wide and strong. Many, even average gamers have at least some understanding of what a MOBA game is and should not have a hard time getting into the game. What would be nice, and im not too sure if this is available, to have a link inside the game client that would take new players through beginner, mediocre, and advanced mechanics of the game.

Soon, that number will be lower. With the introduction of the shittiest Season, i'm about to quit this crap. That's not possible for my whole team to farm the enemy team in the fountain in min 12. This is not the game i played before.

I feel bad for people delusional enough to think that low level players know what the meta is. I started in S3 and didn't even notice we suddenly got trinkets. I also thought item 1051 is a viable starting item on Yasuo (just to name one thing).

Rikari2 votes

because smurfs dont exist while Yi and trynd arent noob stopmers/noob champions.

Dengeden1 votes

So what? They've always been noob stompers. With or without smurfs, new players won't know jack about the game.

New players won't ever experience this greatness and it makes me sad.

I feel sorry for any new player that comes to the forums for information and has to wallow through all this whining.

W/ good clears you can get lvl 6 in the jungle by 6 min in..... Nocturne, Rengar, Khazix, MonkeyKing, and Diana would all like to say hello to the new players. (You know they aren't punishing lanes like they should if the jungle is afk farming to lvl 6)

Oh and new jungle players don't worry, we got you covered too. With the increased power of ADC and attack speed based champs (Yasuo, Tryndamere, Jax) this dude is probably coming back as meta- Nunu. Everyone knows he's the most enjoyable opponent to play against when you're new to jungle as a role and just learning right?

Nocturne isnt very viable to gank if there is a yasuo/tryda/graves in game, its better to wait after the nerfs

T RexHasTinyArms1 votes

Yeah, I was just thinking of level 6 focused ganks that were AD champs mostly. (I suppose if I included moon girl I should have added the mummy, but tank ganks aren't as wtf when you're new as an assassin ganking you)

They still all fuck up an ADC though, and you know new low level games are gonna have like 4 and 5 adc comps bc "it's op, we gotta play it."

If there's one they new players will learn that is good, it is that the support can't place 1000 wards, so they'd better pitch in too!

I started this summer shortly before bilgewater event. I have had no issues learning the game even with the rapidly changing meta with the juggernauts, reworks, and even with the preseason changes. If anything the changes are exciting

ImNotTicklsh1 votes

So nothing is changing? I played a game S5 that Ashe rushed Warmog's. Not trolling. And I was blamed for our loss that game because I didn't gank enough.

I agree Fiora isn't a skillcap champion. But if you are new with her it's easy to mess up if you don't know what you're doing.

Kotex1 votes

lmao i was JUST telling a friend he picked a bad time to begin playing

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

Yeah. Already happens. Already happens. Already happens. New players think the longest range is the best. I can confirm that I thought Jinx was crap because of her low range. Already happens. Better than never seeing her (like pre-rework). I still have a match of me playing Rumble jungle in my match history somewhere. The shit new players try to do... XD

Some of these already happen, like getting wrecked by yasuo smurfs. I've been playing since S2, and for as long as I can remember, people instalocked yi and raged about tryndamere for a long ass time. The rest is right on point though.

ThePurpleKnight1 votes

Wait what? Fiora isn't a skill cap champion but Yasuo is? Even without the crit mastery Yasuo is the easiest champion in the game. He has a free shield every couple seconds that makes him win most of his match ups by default unless retarded.
