My son asked me if I would play league of legends with him, so tried it for the first time. So much going on!

Firstly, how does anyone zero in on what hero they want to play, there are so many of them! I feel like it would take a year just to play enough to decide.

Secondly, the purchase UI seems to have been designed to ensure that a new player can never understand it. I'm sure like all things it becomes clear over time but jeez, did a professional team really work on that thing?

Anyway, 2 defeats from 2 games so far, I write to you from the lobby waiting for the third!

Some tips:

  1. /deafen (every single game once you load in)
  2. Do not lock screen onto your own hero. Play it like a RTS
  3. Play Garen if you are top, Annie if you are mid, DO NOT PLAY JUNGLE
  4. Items are confusing but using the default recommendation is fine for newbie.
  5. Try practicing against bot to learn how the skill works
