1st advice. If you are new and you want to play LoL, take your PC and throw it out the window. You will thank me later.

Unless you want to be an only arams player, always play with friends or PVP with a duo just for the jiggles and sh*t. If that's not the case, then I agree with the OP. There are far better ways to give yourself depression and rage issues out there xd

I ran into this in dota. It takes my social score and now it takes an hour to get a game. 😂

[@theratking264]

“Newer players can often experience a LOT of toxicity when picking up this game” Within my first session of playing league we had to report people like 7/10 games because they were incredibly toxic towards me for trying. Always thought it were just memes but no, this community is genuinely awful. (One of them was a Leona that played support in Top lane. Bruh)

[@Severance8859]

You saved me from even trying this. Thank you!

[@twistedgambit9084]

Mute pings enhance the HUD and Text Boxes and your Map.

[@larracis]

I enjoy league but I have chat off, and If a teammate pings more then x amount of times in a short time frame pings get muted too. I'm not great at the game, but not bad either. And I've never seen such massive group of grown people who are obviously doing the wrong thing and still blaming everyone else. Communication is big in the game but until you learn and know what's what, not being able to see or hear the harassment will make it much more pleasurable for you. Like I said even after you learn and get good people will still blame you for their mistakes.

[@iodine1249]

Wow. I was just complaining that Skill Capped didn't have enough beginner content (Just started playing league because of skill capped, not the other way around) and when I finally broke to go look for beginner content on another channel-- BAM! This video was here. Thank you guys so much!

[@Danodan94]

My friend managed to drag me into playing with him. I used to play Dota2 so I'm not a complete noob but there was still a lot I needed to learn. I did however learn that I really enjoy Yuumi and Ziggs.

[@atomicpiano]

I started playing today, and I've watched 2 beginner guides prior to this one, and this one is the best one

[@R0S1ED]

On my first game I really sucked and this player constantly helped me (although saying I had no capacity to learn). I hardly knew any signs and anytime I was in a bad situation they constantly told me to retreat and it was really helpful (I hadn't known what the little yellow thingies meant so keeping chat open for team only really helped)

[@naejiee1952]

Lucky for u i tried playing on pc since i casually played on wildrift. I sucked on my first game and a yasuo player is toxic 😢

[@Draeckon]

Well this was a nice surprise when I looked up guides. I've only recently started playing League (well technically, I started last year, but with very long stretches between playtime), so I've been looking for something that gives this kind of broad breakdown before diving into the deeper things. I do have prior moba experience, but it's interesting how many little things are different, like minions aggroing when you attack enemy champions... and not having mounts is taking some getting used to. Makes the early game feel so very slow.

[@user-ez1vc2qu5c]

like person who led many newbies in lol, think i have big tip for this guide. In itemisation section you must say about how to buy items part by part. really many newbies dont understood they can buy part of item and waiting full item to buy

[@OneZenDarius]

Not to mention that it cheapens the full item.🥃

[@Yao_Guai]

@@OneZenDariusbro what?

[@OneZenDarius]

@corbanblanton1066 When you buy components, the full item gets cheaper.

[@Yao_Guai]

@@OneZenDarius the total cost of an item is the same wether you buy the components first or not…… you’re joking right?

[@OneZenDarius]

@@Yao_Guai go into practice tool and give yourself some gold. Buy the components and look at the completed item cost. It lowers every time you buy them...

Pro tip! Will help you climb! Turn off chat. Muting your team mates is a great way to climb! It has helped me gain at least 3 ranks since I did it 😊! Keep your mental and keep playing ❤️

[@Fushur7]

Perfectly playing after this guide would put you ahead of at least 90% of the Players in Gold Elo

[@TheKittyClink]

skill capped really does make great content. all the way from the new player to the seasoned. I owe my GM rank to this channel and i often learn new little things still. i also love to link videos to people who asked me how i climbed. im a bad teacher so i just say check out these concepts and practice them its really that easy.

[@thedarkdragon1437]

but it does so at the expense of other players and people most of the time

[@alexsaliba2935]

You forgot to tell them about buying components to an item. When I started I used to sit on 2000 gold and not buy anything since there wasn't a full item I could buy. If you click on a item you want to buy you will see that there are a couple components to that item that you can buy before getting the finished item. So if the shop is recommending to buy Ludens echo then press on that item and you will notice all these components that make up this item like blasting wand and amplifying tombs. Buy these when you can.

[@OneZenDarius]

Thats what happened to me when I first started. I didn't know component's existed until I looked over the items themselves.🥃

[@panzerfowst-exp-9567]

When I first started, I only bought one item because I thought I could save the gold for hero purchasing or items next game. 😂

[@darrynriskus5180]

Yep. Took me a couple of games to realize this myself, luckily they were bot games

[@sarah_thestargazer2]

bless you for all this. best guide i've seen and i've learned so much as a newb. ty!!

[@imbatzz2384]

i’m not even trolling when i say this might be too advanced of a guide for me. i struggle with the controls, and i can’t even practice in aram, because i get absolutely stomped, going like 1-14 while the enemy is like 27-4. i don’t even understand the basic controls well, and get confused why my character is moving a certain way when I want them to go the other way. i often run into fights on accident, and am not attacking at all when i’m supposed to be. any advice?

[@Sproik93]

Perhaps queueing vs AI bots instead? or even just sitting in the practise tool on your own until you get used to the movement controls etc

[@robertg420]

do ai games vs bots or use the practice tool to get better in a low-stakes environment. And try to get someone to help explain things to you and answer your questions as that will be faster than figuring it out yourself

[@xzatiicdreamz]

didn't improve playing 6 months on the game, then i watched this guide and now im masters one game from grandmasters. cant recommend it enough!

[@goldbart461]

Great video, thanks 👍☺️

[@AdamSiamak]

So I really like the idea behind this video, however there's some phrases/words within the video that doesn't feel like it was said with the intention of learning new players the game. Saying stuff like: 1) minions spawn from the nexus (how is a new player supposed to know what the nexus is this early in the video). 2) Assassin's want to kill stuff so it makes sense that they're in Midlane since they can roam around the map (maybe use the word "move" instead of roam, and then explain roaming and moving are the same within the game) Just some tips from a danish league coach ;)

[@willcoleman3330]

I wish the community would force riot into changing the queue system. Picking a single role and allowing you to practice slowly. Also solo/duo ranked has got to be the most toxic, infuriating thing I've ever experienced in life. Not gaming. Life. These people have zero chill.

[@Lucrei.]

Every online game with "roles" should have a system where you can queue for those roles.

[@0kieD0kiee]

I’m a new player (not even lvl 30 yet) and this is the most helpful video I’ve found so far for beginners. SO MANY videos that say they’re beginner videos and they don’t even cover these basics and use terminology that an absolute noob (me) isn’t familiar with. So I really appreciate this guide!

[@jackthompson7546]

This is something ive been struggling with lmao, Ive been playing since season 1 in the old days and ive kinda forgotten whats its like to actually learn the game, especially now that there is 10x more things you gotta remember and try to figure out. I'm glad there is a good info-dump style video for new players

[@rexupload4821]

I would say it’s not wrong to try a clickbait champion build. Just don’t try it in ranked first. I remember seeing an Ap volibear video, I tried it, and now I love playing volibear. Feel free to goof of in draft pick. Have fun!

I FINALLY know what cs and freezing means. I want to start playing cuz of seeing the cc's i watch play, and have played a moba b4 (mobile legends), but never heard of cs and freezing until league content. Never heard of anyone give any clues or at least enough of a clue to understand the 2 terms. I just know cs was related to that randomly placed number and freezing is something to do with the minions, but no clue as to what the terms even mean.

[@jesterje]

[@P.5starr23]

i just stared playing league and i like jungling because i can roam around more and ive found that hekarim is a pretty viable option for that role

[@Rogue2190]

WOW this was a perfect guide

[@TheDogtag2336]

So, as a league veteran ( played since 2013 ). i have son cretics about this " beginners guide ". Things are going very fast, there are used words that us as exsisting players and perhaps general gamers understand. However, i got some friends to try out the game, and they don't know what " roam ", enchanters, mages, carry, support or all these other terms frequently used. they are the correct ones, however for a casual they make no sense what so ever. beginners/intro people litterly need to learn how controls work to begin with, the fact you need to move by right clicking a place and your charecter ( not champion! ) will try and move the the spot you right clicked taking the shortest path available avoiding obsticales along the way. Great to know that you need gold and levels to be stronger and you go to " lanes " to find these things or kill monsters in the jungle area. only watched 6:22 so far, but those i showcased this to that where new people already stopped here cause it was simply too much at once leaving them more confused. now that said, i can recognise most of this, hell i espect i can learn something from this given there is still roughly 25 mins of people yet.

Very good guide but proposing Cho'Gath to newbies is a bit cruel considering the best champions in the meta top always shit on him, giving little chance to new players to learn the lane.
