ahh ok i guess i meant smartcast ty.

You can try LiquidParty on any server and there will be some TLers on there....although most would call it afkparty if you're on NA.

No doubt. I've been in there for a week and seen maybe 20 lines of chat posted.
If any other noob wants to play add me in LoL.
I'm level 14 right now.

I always lose because of noobs or afkers on my team so are there people here on tl that want to play with me? I play on EUW, currently level 11 but getting matched w/ level 15-20 people.

A bit of advice from a recently post-noob-
The afker's every game stop around the mid 20's... just push through it.
This has to be said tho...
MOBAs have, by far, the worst community I've ever seen. Not just in online gaming, but ever. It's seriously as if you pulled the worst xbox 360 kids and mixed them with the worst WoW ethugs. THAT bad. Global chat is a stupid idea- if you make one mistake and die, not only will the opposing team mock you, but your own team will bash you relentlessly. For 40 minutes.
However, if you can get a few friends to play with things get really, really fun. That's where the game shines, in the social aspect of queuing as a team and hanging out on skype- the hours fly by. Solo queue can be nigh-unplayable at times, but queuing with friends is just awesome. Winning hard fought games and screaming over skype is just so thrilling.

ftfy.
I know bad teammates suck, but keep in mind other team made up of same pool of players. Difference is small, but it is an important one imo.

I know, i have like 7-8 people who i know that play LoL, but all they say is 'Youre not level 30 lololo come back when you are better', so out of those 7 people i can only play with 1 or 2

Of course i also have my bad games, but when i play really well and my team doesnt fuck up (aka goes smth like 3/17/5 i win 95% of the time. AFKers just ruin the game, i only won once when i had afkers on my team and that was when i was like level 4 or 5.
But, does anyone want to play with me?

I wanted to play LoL a bit too, i heared from friends that there is no actual need to spend real money, only for style not to get an advantage. Could anybody please elaborate on that topic ? could not find anything here on tl with the search function.. thanks

Mmm, spending money can garner you a small advantage, since you can get a larger champion pool and additional rune pages, leading to flexibility during picks. But it's really not a huge deal whether or not you spend money, do it if you want to support riot/get skins don't do it if you don't.
|
You don't need to spend money at all- but you will feel a strong desire to do so. I've been playing 3 months, and already spent $50 on champions and skins :D
You can buy champions with points earned in-game, but non-sale champs can cost up to 6300ip, and you only make a few hundred ip per game. With each game taking 40-50 minutes, you can see how saving ip takes time.
Or, you could spend $35 and get a 20 champion bundle, with mostly top-tier champs. So what you make in an hour or two at work- it's an easy decision. If you have a favorite champ, you could spend $5 and just buy that one.
Then there's skins. Ohhhhhh, the skins. They're awesome. And those you can only buy with real money. They give no advantage, but many are just too good to pass up (Surprise Party Fiddlesticks anyone?)
One problem that I'm running into at the moment is not having enough time to play constantly, but when I do play, I'm partied with 4 1500-1600 ELO friends. Being not even level 30, this makes me far and away the least skilled person, which sucks sometimes. However, the skill gain pays off when I solo queue against people my level. Getting 210+ CS and going double digits/0/double digits is really awesome, even if its not against the best competition.
So if there's any way your friends will take you along, you should see if they can carry you.

My tip to avoid raging: Play AD carry bottom lane, if you miss a creep kill that you could have gotten, it is your fault if you lose the game.

Had my original question answered after more searching. Is malphite a decent hero to start out with? He indeed feels like an in between character.

This, however I hardly play anymore because my friends have stopped playing, is why I don't play with randoms. at 1500 elo and its still not worth it to listen to all the ranting and hating.

I would definitively say it gets better. Once you start meeting top level people you can easily dismiss it. People expect me to lose vs wickd top on Irelia and if I don't get raped they are fine with me losing the lane.

The only advantage of buying things is it decreases time needed to get stuff.

Malphite was my first hero. He is fairly basic and it gives you a good understanding on how/when to engage. I personally have not played him for about half a year but if your starting out he is probably one of the more simple heroes.

I started with Annie/Ryze and those are both great newbie characters that remain useful as you improve.
As for other suggestions, I think Shen(Tank) and Tristana(AD) are relatively straight forward and easy characters to play.
|
Ironically, I've got a new guy that's doing really well as Cassiopea mid, despite her being branded as a hard champ, but he can't trade as Shen nor last hit as Tristana. Needs more practice.

Warwick, Annie, Graves, Morgana, Janna and Cho are all great learning champions  .
