Riot, Please oh Please add more tutorials!

Moba's are probably the most complex multiplayer game there is, simply because of the infinite tactics that exist combined with trying to play with 4 strangers. For that kind of game to have a tutorial that basically tells you nothing more than that you can items and buttons do things is ridiculous.

There shouldn't be people in ranked saying things like "oh i didnt know pink wards reveal shaco" and "Why does the 5th stack of dragon make them SO STRONG!?"

There is no point in denying that there is a huge knowledge requirement to the game, so help the players out ffs. There ought to be tutorial levels designed to teach each aspect of the game (without being 40 min long a piece) There should be:

Basic gameplay tutorial, Vision tutorial, Power spike tutorial, Item build tutorials, Objective value tutorial, Team comp tutorial, Jungling tutorial, laning tutorial, ETC ETC.

None of them should be longer than 5-10 min and they should clearly explain each aspect of the game that is REQUIRED to be successful. Lets face it, some players just simply miss certain key aspects of the game and by 30 they are torturing other players because they say things like "why would i ward when i can spend my gold on damage"

I wouldn't even be opposed to restricting players from ranked until they complete all the tutorials and actually understand the elements of the game.

MOBA's? Have you tried mmorpg?

Yeah, i played wow for several years. It wasn't nearly as difficult, maybe complex was the wrong word. There was a lot of factors, and a lot of learning, but it was usually pretty easy to not get stuck raiding with someone who didnt know what was happening.

I still think there is a unique issue in moba's because there isnt one right answer. In mmorpg's, there is just what is best, strongest and works, and you do that. In league, every moment in the game leaves you with various choices with benefits depending on so many different factors, and not knowing what the options are, or their potential benefits leaves you and your team lacking simply because you dont know.

I dont understand why Riot offering more information for players could be a bad thing that needs downvoting though.....

I played wow for 5minutes, didn't like it at all, but from what I understand all you've got to do is complete quests and you get everything. Have you ever heard of Lineage 2? That is a truly hardcore mmorpg that is much more concentrated on balance, where you could outplay people with better gear/bigger level even with the same character as they. Skill matters much less in this game (lol) compared to items.

And I think more info is good, I didn't downvote.
