Bring back the ''New player'' section

This game isn't newb friendly, and the ''tips and tricks'' section is, to be honest, pretty much useless..

So what about that?

I agree with you, I got some of my friends to start playing league but two of them did not want to keep playing after their first online game because they could not understand how to play.

And the only thing that actually help them are videos of random people on youtube, and the old ''new player'' section in the old forums...

I totally agree. I'm currently teaching a totally new gamer to play league (never even done xbox really before or any online games) and a new MOBA player to play. The newb community is terrible, there's a severe learning curve but no one to help them through it. Without any guidance I'm sure many new players never make it to lvl 30, I almost did when i started a year and a half ago before getting help from my friends.

Precisely! I still use mobafire on champions I'm not super familiar with, and it teaches me the nuances of the game if you get good guides. A lot of things, like armor shred, didn't make sense to me. I knew black cleaver on Wukong was good, but I didn't understand until I read a guide about it. I'm not a pro by any means, there are tons of champions who have skills that I don't exactly understand, and Mobafire is a great resource to look at to find the best builds, and if something doesn't make sense on a champ, there is typically some explanation later in the guide.
But back to the fact that newbs have a hard time: One of my newbs loves league, he is very enthusiastic about learning, and had been playing Kindred (ugh rito pls) and like all new champs, she was released very OP for a new player. I had to explain that 1: shes a jungler and not a laner like he had played her, and 2: She will likely get nerfed soon, hopefully not into oblivion. I didn't want him to play her this early though, as I am sure changes will be coming. Its frustrating that so many newbs get trapped into these, well almost scams, that Riot places for them.
