So I started a week ago, reached level 9 and I already want to quit.
Some background: I have played dota before and understand last hitting, ganking, support, etc. I joined because I was bored and some friends play it and suggested me to try it a while ago but I was busy with SC2.
Main problem is that almost every game there is at least 1 AFKer. I am sick of playing games that seem pointless because everyone's basically waiting for the timer to reach 20 minutes or sitting in the base in dominion so the points drain to 0. I am not sure why their system rewards people for losing games. They should have a system where the losing team doesn't get EXP or something..
A minor problem is that half the games I play are with people who don't speak English or just don't talk at all and do whatever they want. That is expected I guess and I don't really care since this is lower level and hopefully that changes.
The only time the game is somewhat enjoyable is when I play with some friends.. I really wonder how a new player can get into this game.
The afking stops around level 20, and is pretty much non-existent in ranked matches.

Download lolreplay and leave it running when you play a game of Lol. Then run the replay. That or use fraps.

You're right. I didn't notice it at first but when I played a few normals after a ranked spree I noticed more afkers. I still get afkers in ranked about 1 in 5-10 (or more) games though.

I'm level 21, so I can finally go all the way down a mastery tree.
I have a question for mana-hungry ap champs:
should I go 21/0/0 for mass ap/damage, or 12/0/9 to help with mana problems? Or does it depend on the champ?
If it depends on the champ, I usually use these AP mids:
Ryze
Veigar
Xerath
Kassadin
Edit: yeah I forgot ryze is mana, not AP. Also I forgot Kass' W gives him mana sustain
|
The bottom of the offense tree is soooo good for ap casters, personally I think you should be opting for the 21 offense.
Except ryze. My masteries on ryze are 0/21/9.

Another newbie question. Does AP increase the auto attacks (normal attacks) of the AP champions as the AD does for the AD champions?

No, only against turrets.

What's the starting ability power for champions?

I think everyone starts at 0 without any runes.

Only Viktor and Galio have some, but it's due to their respective passive (+3 AP/level for Viktor, +50% of his MR converted to AP for Galio).
Edit several days late: oh, and Karma. She gains AP depending on her %missing health.

What's the armor of turrets? For some reason I can't find this stat anywhere...

Because it's not constant.
Turret armor changes depending on which turret it is and if there's minions present. AFAIK it isn't affected by arp either.

Am I the only one who thinks the UI is confusing? My real question is what are some good ranged champions. I want to get into this game.

Just play the free rotation ones and get an idea of who you like to play then buy it with points.

Ashe is a very good place to start. She's only 450 ip so you can buy her off. You can also get tristana for free and she is a pretty good pick. And I used to find the UI very confusing at first. Now I'm so used to it that other UIs confuse me now. Its just a matter of a few games.
And other than ashe and trist I suggest ryze. He's a mana mage and he's kind of fun to play.

Can someone explain to me the roles Champions can be assigned too (AP, AD, Jungler,etc)? Also, is it true that moving your Champion right after attacking decreases the cool down or somehow benefits you?
Also, what champions should go mid?
