Tips for Playing League of Legends

League of Legends tips

League of Legends is not any other game out there. If you really wish to play this amazing game, you may be overwhelmed by the thousands of information on the internet which everyone expects you to master and have it on your fingertips.  Don’t be worried

If you follow this guideline to the letter you will be confident when starting your long and exciting journey to over level 30. Don’t fret about certain positions and characters in the game. At least for the early stages.

You have to try and get to level 5 if you want to access some of the advanced features of the game play. This features players versus player’s options. Everything step that you take before getting to that point get your feet on the ground.

Therefore, don’t beat yourself up figuring out what position or character is best for you. What you need to do is to try out various characters to see what suits you best. Do you adore melee champions? Or do you like the ranged ones?  Assassins or rather Mages?  Now these are the types of question that you should ask yourself before you start the game.

Knowing the basics of the map and various positions.

For you to communicate with your teammates, you must plan what you should actually say. Don’t rush to become an expert in one night, but the best place to start learning the fundamental League vocabulary is by learning all the basics of the general structure of the Rift of the Summoner’s as well as the position you can play.

There are three lanes in total, and that is the top, middle, and bottom. The interval between these lanes is the jungle. Team bases are found on the bottom left as well as the upper right corners of the map. The team you play with and the position you take depends entirely on the champion you select to play as and a unique part of the map you pick to start. The following are the key positions that will arise in conversations while you are on your way to the top most level.


Roles

League of Legends ADS

Jungle

This is the only champion that is not assigned any lane. Instead, champions in these lane move about the jungle attaching and destroying the monsters inside and stumbling on one of the lanes to help their teammates by attacking the enemy

ADC

Out of the remaining champions one remains at the bottom of the map.  The main function of ADCs farm minions, leveling up, and purchasing as many gears as they possible could to continue to improve their attack damage.

Support

This is the last champion found at the bottom of the map. Supports engage in so many activities, they help to keep ADCs alive, help them kill their enemies,  as well as help to place wards on the map to increase the visibility of the team.


Look at the mini-map regularly

Map awareness is extremely paramount in League of Legends.  You should know exactly what is going on in within your environment.

Another Minor update

TI 2016

On the eve of the main part of The International developers released another minor update that contains several changes related to TI.

List of changes:

  • In the main menu, adds support for the Chinese translation
  • Small changes to the special effects that will take place on the stage during the match The International.

The Hateful Eight

Only eight characters were not selected or banned in The Internationale 2016.

With the exception of the Arc Warden, which is banned in Captain Mode, during the group stage were selected and already banned 102 hero. Let’s look at those left out in the cold:

  • Bloodseeker
  • Centaur Warrunner
  • Jakiro
  • Leshrac
  • Lina
  • Techies
  • Treant Protector
  • Visage

However, another character has been banned once, but never taken. His name Necrophos .

This list would be greater if the team would not have tried to implement some of the other characters. What came of it we’ll see below
Natus Vincere could not realize Omniknight against OG, Sniper has not helped Vici Gaming Reborn against the mighty men of
EHOME, Newbee lost with his Gyrocopter to Koreans from MVP Phoenix, but Nao still beat Team Secret with Spectre.

Facts gathered by users reddit:

Gyrocopter, Leshrac and Lina were the most popular characters on The International in 2015, and now they are on the bottom of the sea – Gyro was taken in this tournament just once and failed. Pdd could well afford to choose Treant Protector, S4 perfectly plays as Leshrac, and EGM famous with Jakiro. With the rest of the characters is not so smooth, but their appearance is quite possible.
From heroes, taken at least 10 times, Ursa, Assassin Nyx and Elder Titan – the owners of the biggest win rate – 80, 78 and 73 percent respectively.
Well, now for those who are at The International 2016 is loved and appreciated.

Here is the best characters in terms of KDA and GPM:
