Guide to League of Legends, part 3; Tips and Tricks

If you have missed the first two part, you can find part one HERE and part two HERE.

This will be the last part, and in this part I will give you some tips and tricks to help you get started. I can admit that I'm not the best player in the world, far from it in fact. But I do know my way around the Rift so to speak.

My first tip is, find a few champions you like to play. This may sound obvious, but it is the few part that is important. Don't just find one champion you like because you cannot be guaranteed the get it every single game. And only having one champion you can play also means that you can get bored with it, I know I do. And lastly, you aren't as restricted in where you can go on the map.

Secondly I would say that you should make sure to have a positive attitude. You will encounter people who flame and harass people in the chat. Sadly, that comes with interacting with people on the internet I have noticed. The best thing to do is to ignore it, and if to becomes too much, you can mute them by taking up the score screen by holding down Tab and pressing the mute button on the right side. While I tend not to do it because I really don't care about people who say such thing, it is okay to do it. However,never say that you are muting someone because that might make it worse. Just quietly mute them and continue playing.

Now this here is a more personal philosophy, but I would say, never give up. Some people will give up very easily, while I personally never give up until my Nexus has fallen. I have seen game turn when one of the sides had sub 100 health on their Nexus to a win. Because remember, giving up mentally will make sure you lose as you will play worse.

Now for more tactical advice. Don't forget to ward. If you can see where the enemy is you will have an advantage. Wards will help you see where the enemies are when they leave lane. If you compare low level play with high level play you will notice that the better teams places a lot more wards. Why is this so important? Because if you know where you opponent is, you know if you can go super aggressive without being punished for it with a flank.

Even if you don't play a particular champion, you should learn what it can do. Doing this will make sure you know what strengths and weaknesses your opponent has and how you can exploit them. You don't need to know everything about all of the champions, but learn in general terms what they can do.

Playing with friends is the best way to good. The game is much more fun when you play with friends. This also helps you avoid the bad part of the community. If you don't have any friends who play league, you can join communities in league to help you. I for one hang out in The Gentleman's Club on EU West. If you where to play on EU West, I highly suggest joining the chatroom. Everyone in the chatroom are pleasant.

If you want to get better, a good place to start is to master last hitting. Last hitting is the skill of delivering the killing blow to minions to get gold. A good way to train is to create a custom game and just go into lane and last hit. Strive to last hit every minion in every wave.

With these tips you will have a good foundation to get into the game. And as always, have a good day and comments are welcome.
