I have one genuine question. Is it a good idea for new players, that have zero knowledge about League of Legends, to play the game? Because I’m one of those players. I’ve been thinking about playing the game even though I knew that the game was very complex and overwhelming for new players like me. It takes a lot of time to improve, understand, and get good at League for you to actually enjoy playing the game. I’m also aware that the community is pretty toxic. At least most of the community are. Because that’s what is always being depicted in the media. I’ve also heard that in low ranks, there are a lot of high rank players that creates their smurf account and dominates and destroys the low rank players, ruining their fun and motivation to continue playing the game. That’s why I’ve been thinking twice about playing the game. Do you guys have any tips to improve or have any idea whether playing the game as a complete beginner is a good idea or not? Thanks for reading!
A friend of mine started playing League a month ago, I suddenly took him in game and teached him the basics (me with a fresh account, I’m sorry but smurfing is good for our mental, it gives you relief from your main games).
I have to say that he improved a lot: he knows farming is important, as well as warding, how to gank, when to call drakes/baron and when not.
Ofc he’s not fast in these things, but he gets them, you just need to play in order to make your thinking and action faster.
He doesn’t know counters, make a consistent build and a good money management; still struggle to engage hard fights and focussing the focus (?).
All of this to say that, imo, he would have never ever reached all of this in one month (playin a couple games 3/4 times a week) if he hadn’t me to “coach” him. So my advice is: if you know someone that already plays the game, play with him, even if he’s a low rank player, he should know at least the very basics.
Community is toxic but it’s kinda accetable now, I remember back in the days it was a pain. Reports are much more efficient, but the punishment is still dumb.
