Sweet now we can teach noobs like Mocsta how to l2p I wonder if noobs like Mocsta are likely to continue playing  They do because we make them. TEAM BUILDING EXERCISES BABY. Whatever happened to TL Movie night and who is going to jail for streaming a movie for us? Well maybe you should play with us next time and get crushed too. For team building of course.

Someone carry me. I'm tired of going positive with 250cs in a 30m game and losing. I'm doing something wrong apparently

I'm struggling to crack 100cs in a 40min game.
I get the concept of last-hitting, but I'm struggling with the animation delay of Ryze (who I am trying to focus on playing)

Biggest thing I dont get is the committment required to play ranked.. Gotta be lvl 30.. + 10 games.. heck. i only played about 8 games and am lvl 5... gonna be aw hile before I even get flash as a summoner spell, let alone reach lvl 30.

Yeah I apologize on behalf of all LoL players/Riot because it honestly must suck a huge fat one to try and get into the game now consider how many more champions there are to buy than when I joined. Add in trying to get to level 30, rune costs, etc...
I'll see if I can set up some more inhouses pretty soon, and maybe we can try to get them going with a bit of learning experience in mind for those newer players.

The owrst one was Anivia until they literally JUST changed her in the most recent patch. Mocsta if you've ever played DotA each Hero in that game has a different speed of animation and list hitting is much more difficult. I imagine you'll get used to it pretty quick in this game, especially if you start to play one of the champs with a slightly more fluid/sharp animation at some point.

I was really pissed off cos my first game = Blitzcrank second = fiddlestix Third, fourth, fifth = jax started looking up builds for jax etc and then went to play the 6th game and hes been rotated out.
Ryze, Annie, Ashe were the only ones I could afford -- if i want to improve with one person consistently.
I can get hero kill with Ryze which is good at least cos i was majorly struggling with Jax to score kills. (got plenty of assists though)

I need his root spell though so I can play Xin Zhao when it comes back into rotation. =]

Well I should add, im getting that CS dual laning without a support.
I prob gonna setup a no bot custom and see if I can get close to 70cs by the 10min mark. If I can do that I be happy. Apparently the pros can regularly do like 90-100?

(got plenty of assists though) Apparently they very recently added a static group a champions for beginners---who are the free champions for you at the moment?
Also I would suggest trying every free champion in at least one game, and then saving up for champions you think you like or are good at. Buying those first few low cost ones is a good start as well though.

I don't know if I'd worry about cs yet because you're going to be battling uphill against game mechanics and meta and stuff you don't even know about yet.  If it's something you want to practice it's definitely something you can do, but just remember you're still pretty low level so I wouldn't worry TOO much about that as long as you're hitting levels consistent with people you're playing in games with (when you solo queue).

So far the only solo queue I have done is playing bots (beginner and intermediate). I haven't been lucky enough to solo lane, so usually 2nd highest level on team.
Noted. OO taught me to buy the totems so trying to put them up, but its annoying cos they dont last that long.
Getting there.

You can call mid during picks in beginner games if you want. Tends to work out most of the time.

Man. i want flash badly too.. lvl 12 feels so far away.

I just go wherever 'cause bot games. Sometimes people get mad but meh. I can't decide now whether to stream HS/League tonight or play voice mafia.....

I'll be on in a bit to play I guess once this coffee is done. Nobody jungles in bot games because the bots don't so to keep lanes even it goes 2-1-2. If you get a good person for solo top you can use a jungle or just he ready as jungle to help top very quickly when needed. Reading the situation and/or having teleport ready and warding their shit for them sometimes helps a lot.

psh, teleports are useless. Exhaust + Ignite better.
Why doesnt anyone play veigar? He seems really snowbally if he has great laning and can still be useful even if he feeds.
