Here’s a great idea Riot

Alright, I think riot did a horrible job with the orientation for new players into the game. Most people agree, (even Riot), they say the best way to git gud is to play with friends but I feel as a company riot should have a more active role in the orientation.

I think that after the typical summoner has reached level 30 they know their play style or at least, what they like: be it marksmen, mages, tanks or assassins. I think that riot should implement interactive practice modes that teach you what your role does and what you should be doing during lane phase and team fights.

For example it should teach assassins how to 1 shot squishes in fights without having to suicide.

Teach marksmen how to kite with attack move and Target champion only. And also how to have good positioning in team fights.

Teach mages how to actually land and or predict skill shots. That they should save them for the carries instead of just blowing it on the first person they see.

And my favorite, PLEASE teach tanks how to peel ffs. I’m tired of people picking tanks and just playing for themselves when they see their adc’s getting cc’ed to death. Teach them how to body block ffs, it may surprise you but multiple times I’ve been killed by jhin ult when my tank could have just body blocked. The concept is so simple :)

I know this may be hard to implement but I feel it’s needed. I think in low elo the problem is not that they’re just bad, some people really don’t know what they should be doing and it’s detrimental to the whole team.

There should also be jungle guides, how to gank and what to expect. There should be teleport tutorials, I’ve played games where my top laner only uses his TP to go back to lane, they won’t make a single play ALL game.

The tutorials can be in a scenario type of thing, idk lol. Just do it please. Because people are just ignorant not bad.

The whole post while noble and shows you care, Lets talk about this sentence.

Do you really want riot to create Jungle guides when the balancing team doesn't even play the game?

Do you really want riot to tell the new jungler that they will just up and change jungle on a whim that they had to add a RNG "Mini objective"?

Do you expect Riot to tell them what champions to play in jungle or expect them to fall flat trying to have fun on a champion the new player likes but doesn't stack up the horrid experience nerfs/scuttle crab meta that places junglers 2-4 levels below solo laners for 4-6 mins till mid game (10 min mark) or not picking a dueling jungler who can't take crab?

Believe me I would have no probs with your statement had Riot not shown they don't know what they are doing by these jungle changes/scuttle crab.
