ulti and combo on the creeps

This. This alone is the hardest thing to understand when transitioning from HON/DOTA. Since there is no deny mechanic creep equilibrium is going to be controlled only via damage output, and it's rather frustrating trying to learn it (also every hero's nukes are piddly squat compared to mana pools).

That being said once you've understood how to control your lane that part of the game is ez.

Also free shaco = learn how to counterjungle effectively

Free shacos i imagine to be severely underleveled and underfarmed and completely useless. Shouldn't be too hard.


Yeah, free week Shaco's would be like the time I played with my buddy from work. He FP'd Shaco, then when I asked for a gank he told me that he was waiting until level six to gank.

I facepalmed sooooooo hard. I now never play with him because it usually just pisses me off.

Biggest differences are probably: no tp scrolls, you can only buy in base, jungling is required for optimal play (though at low lvls nobody jungles yet, so dw about that now)

Generally, if you've played dota/hon before, just figure out what the League champions actually DO, and you should be good to go.

i think that's gonna be my biggest problem, though i'm only gonna play LoL to burn some time while i fix up my dota 2 lol. too many champions for me to know in a short time, so i think that's gonna be a key issue... played dota for 7 years so i don't think i'll have a problem actually playing the game though.

First, switch full time to LoL

Anyway, the map is smaller in LoL so if you notice your next-to lane is missing, and you don't have ward just back off. Go bot + 3potions. Don't bother to jungle, just pick what ever you like and go whenever you want. Get Exhaust as summoner since I think you don't have flash now?

Last hit with Q with Annie, hold on to your stun and zone your opponent out. Actually at low level, you can just harass/Q him start from level 5. Till you reach level 6 if your opponent is about 40% health and don't go back. Just build up your stun and combo him to death with your ulti.

If you want me to gist a champion for you, tell me what role you liked to play in DotA. I'll pick a champion or two out from what's free this week and tell you how to play them.

Annie, if you have any questions, you can check the Annie thread. :o

Annie goes mid, typically opens Boots + 3 pots.

Ring x2 => Deathcap is standard opening.

The standard for any caster (like annie) is boots+3 pots to start, 2-3 dorans rings, a deathcap, and then some combination of Void Staff, Abyssal Staff, Zhonyas, or even a Will of the Ancients or Banshee's Veil. Boots should be upgraded to Sorc shoes (after you get void, sell the sorcs for lucidity boots).

For annie, bot+3pots. If you want to play safe then catalyst then level 2 boots and a RoA and a DeathCap after that. If youre winning hard, just get catalyst than a Mejah for the lol.

Also, roam alot after you hit 6. People at low level don't even know what wards stand for, you will get ALOT of kills that way. Just roam whenever your ulti is up and PROFIT>

LoL's recommended items are pretty good for most champions. You should just follow those until you want to get better at certain champions/get more in depth, then you should read guides. (The legit ones by people who know what they are doing) And then once you get more used to a champion, you should customize for your own preferances.

Everyone wants to help the guy with 35K posts, hueuhe.

Edit: Corki, Graves for very straight forward for your physical carries. Sion is a very straight forward caster. If you're as good as you say you are, Ahri will probably be the most fun but she has the most complicated kit out of the 4 I've listed.

Edit2: I was kidding gaiz. I'm bored and on lunch atm too. npnp. But glad to see people are willing to toss out some nice advice when they're bored.

There really arent any complicated mechanics, its one of the things Riot activly tries to avoid.

It's been said a billion times but last hitting is the most important thing.

Pick an easy/powerful champ to learn.... I'd honestly recommend Morgana. She's incredibly powerful, has great sustain and her ult is incredibly easy to use. And you can get some practice skill shotting with her Q. Also you can use her W to farm incredibly easily. She's an all around great champ who is frequently banned in draft picks because she's so powerful.

If mage isn't your cup of tea then definitely Ashe. She is a powerful AD carry and there are a million guides out there on how to play her. She's a good champion to use to get used to last hitting.

I normally go to solomid.net for my guides. I wouldn't recommend using featured guides at this point as a lot of them are written by pro players and you're likely not going to be playing pros for quite some time.

Play a bunch of champs you like and pick 2 that have different roles and play the shit out of them. You'll be good as gold in no time.

P.S. Don't bother buying runes until level 20.
You better run Charles....
