Pro tip for noobs starting off league: try your best to ignore the toxicity. Some people in this game are genuinely toxic, but there are some chill people too. Find yourself a friend who doesn’t care too much about losing matches and go have a blast poking fun at annoying toxic people. This game can be really fun, you just have to have the right mindset.
after years of playing toxic mp games (csgo to name one) i’ve learned to just laught at toxicity, its just entertaining how people can get so mad at others because of a game
The game really isn’t that hard play a couple games don’t be afraid to die , kill minions to level up and for gold place wards so you dont get ganked look up good items for ur character try out diff characters and play
Hey if you are a new player, I would definitely recommend aphelios. Instead of having 3 normal ability and one ultimate, aphelios only have two ability and one ultimate. Definately a really simple ch amp to pick up, gl hf!
I started yesterday, the tutorial was super easy since I have played MOBAs before and I was able to take down the nexus all alone with out healing or dying with Master Yi, I hopped into a game and someone was yelling at me to ward and I had no idea what that meant so they just kept yelling at me the entire time XD
Raka is the easiest support to learn all you do with her is heal, small heals, large AOE heal (all). I would say Bram would be the next. WIth Nami being a little more up the list but she does slows and heals.
I did the tutorial and got legendary a few times haha, I'm completely new to this game, needed a break from apex as the ranked grind on that is just waaaay to time consuming, and I'm not so good at valorant but it's a quality game and my brother has been mad to get me to play lol
@@PhilChilPill If you can manage your time and deal with some toxicity then yes it very much is. If your busy than you should rather watch videos or play wild rift (the mobile port of lol)
Back to basics: THE BEGINNER GUIDE in 2021 We should also get a video about how to build a champion pool and be partly based on disappointments while smurfing, from someone like Hector. I don't recommand Leona for very beginners, because long range ground targeted abilities can require good awareness and camera controls to use properly. Braum is much easier. I don't recommand Cho'Gath for beginners, because his passive requires you to actually last hit minions and he can be abused really hard. It's better to have a more consistant experience for beginner, regardless of winning or losing and more of the basic gameplay options and roles to be left open, like playing tank, damage dealer and waveclearing. I don't recommand Darius for beginners. Playing him can encourage compulsive behavior, can make you believe that you are a non-stop lane bully, doesn't teaches good resource usage and bad players can end up setting up an awful lane state for them with him. I rather recommand Urgot and Mordekaiser for top. Easy to use is a more important criteria for me, than easy to understand. I rather recommand a non-flashy champion with lower fail states for beginners, like Veigar instead of Ahri.
New players should know that if your teammate spam the "?", it doesn't mean that enemies are missing from lane...it means "what the fuck are you doing"
damn I was so confused cause I was like how are they missing if Im fighting them. All the dude kept saying was that he hated me n whenever I asked what I should be doin the dude would just ignore me lmao. I think Im just a very scared player cause idk if I could beat em so I stay back too much.
Yeah, they are mad people that got banned on their main accounts because riot bans toxic people really fast. The sad part is that, in low level games, nobody expects you to be a newcomer but just another smurf which says a lot about the "big" number of players league of legends has.
Just downloaded the game yesterday and expected for them to give me a whole walk through, but in their tutorial was just like "ok u have champions, they have different abilities, now fight enemies" and then that was it. There was a million other things they didn't bother covering. And with almost no prior gaming experience besides Genshin Impact, I had absolutely no Idea what I was doing.
I started playing today n got past the tutorial, but iam too anxious to play with people online who know wtf they're doing💀 iam such a noob , i would love playing with people like me!
As a noob this guide is surprisingly helpful when I started in season 10 I was flamed for going to top instead of bot since I thought they were the same.
What I got flamed for back in the day is because the term "marksman" wasn't used yet and it was just called "ad carry", I thought melee champions like Fiora, Master Yi, Tryndamere etc counted as ADCs.
Understandable. The first time I went jungle I used Cho'Gath because his ultimate is like a smite objective-wise so I took him with teleport. I didn't know that without smite you can't buy the jungle item.
@@nicklagrassa7828 i feel that. Also i dont know what they expect. Are players that just started supposed to be experts right off the get go? They act like the possibility of being a new player isnt even there
@@Starfishxoxo In this case “feeding” the other team would refer to purposely going in and letting the other team kill you in order to make your team lose (trolling). Thats what they thought i was doing but I was just bad at the game
Lucky I found skillcap within a week of joining. I also had a friend who had been playing for months and taught me the basics as well, even before I joined.
As someone who has never played a game like League before, deadass same, except i actually did die during the tutorial. Like, bitch, I haven't even had time to read wtf my abilities do, basically all you've done is teach me how to MOVE my character, and you already have a swarm of enemies hauling ass in my direction trying to end me??? That AI wrecked my shit in less than ten seconds while I was button mashing and praying that something I pressed would do enough damage to kill them before they killed me. Just PLEASE LET ME READ THE TOOLTIPS before you throw me into WW2 TT-TT At least give me a dummy to practice my shit on or something first
This makes chess seem so simple. I really wanna start playing this game but even after watching this video, I still have no clue what the whole game is about lol.
@@pabo-idle4922 i am the same as the guy above i have never played a moba before i have played mostly shooters before but i am trying league and yes i feel like i never touched a game begore in my life

Okay okay okay so, I started playing this game in 2017 for fun. I still have no idea what I’m doing (because I don’t play much) and I’m just now starting to try and actually learn the game. Here’s the gist: take towers, get to enemy team’s side, take THOSE towers, win. The end. The in-between stuff is what I don’t know lmao
@@pabo-idle4922 that game helped a lot I just started league of legends and mobile legends bang bang honeslty helped me alot, it’s basically league of legends on mobile
@@cabbagememes2852 yes but league of legends is a bit more tough and league of legends have its own mobile version too. its called league of legends wild rift, its gonna be harder than mobile legends tho
@@Wieprzek i don't think they're 'bad' - they aren't much different from this channel. however, proguides tends to use a lot of clickbaity titles (seriously, just go look) while SkillCapped tends to let their content speak for them. just my opinion!
@@kosmos973 I think their guides are much worse than skill capped ones though. Not only they have clickbaits but Skill capped give general, objective information about the game, and they are consistent with their methods and uploading videos.
@@lightisbetterthanlight566 it's definitely more complex... there are way more variables from champion matchups to RNG plants to RNG drakes and infinite pathing possibilities as well as teamfight positioning and resource management. You can build a chess engine to run millions of game simulations which are all valid variations of all future and past games. You can't build a league engine that will predict the flow of a game with any amount of acceptable or comparable accuracy to the chess engine
@@samusaran4799 yes, but you are failing to acknowledge the fact that LoL is based on team play, which brings in a whole new set of variables. In Chess, whether you win or lose the game depends completely on the accuracy of your moves. In LoL, you only control one character, which means that you are actually just controlling 1 piece on the board and your teammates would be controlling the other remaining pieces. This means that you could play perfectly, but still lose because of your teammates. This means that Lol is more teamwork and coordination based. This is also why engines will not work, Lol is not a calculation based game, it is teamwork, coordination, and obviously strategy, and all these are dependent on human communication, which engines can’t simulate nor replicate. Obviously, I am not saying Lol is easier than Chess, I am just saying it is dependent on other things that don’t necessarily relate to “Complexity” but rather to how well you can communicate with others and how fast you can think (Which are complex things, but that’s not what complex means in this context). There are after all like 10^120 possible games of chess so I would not believe you if you said League was more complicated than Chess. Chess is so advanced that it is literally more complicated than our universe (Maybe not MORE, but definitely rivals the universes complexity). HOWEVER, do take all this with a grain of salt because I might be wrong. I don’t actually play Lol, I came here to see what it was like. One of my chess buddies plays it, so I figured I would look at it.
@@lightisbetterthanlight566 you’re failing to realize that the one piece you do control is 1/150 possible pieces you can choose which each have individual movements, abilities, itemization options, and play style. And the positioning and movement is not locked to a grid system but instead it’s free of any constraints which open up way more options. Chess is not complicated, it’s simple by its very nature. Simple rules, simple win condition, restricted piece movement. What makes it difficult is understanding the potential of each piece on the board and capitalizing on it. LoL is the same but with many more rules, way more pieces to play and play styles to memorize playing and playing against. My point is this. You’ve experienced newbies play chess and they’re terrible because their game sense and logic is weak, not their knowledge of “wait how does this piece move?”. Try playing league. You will 100% be overwhelmed by all the things you need to learn just to perform at a novice level.
Yo SCCLG, I have wanted to make a video like this to share with friends for awhile. Although, I think this is a bit too technical, and you reference a lot of League terminology in your fundamental descriptions. This can be THE hardest type of teaching video to create. I know it takes a massive amount of planning. I have some suggestions if you guys are interested. Above all, don't try to explain too much and try to keep it at about 10 minutes. Maybe I am thinking of a different type of video though (for an even broader audience), but I see a game intro video as a type of sales pitch. I think it is worth making another video like this (maybe a bit later). I know I would appreciate something I could show my grandmother to explain the difference between esports and conventional video games, something that will help my mother understand that League cannot be paused, and something that shows how cool League esports can be ( I often show people clips from the 2017 World Championship ruclips.net/video/fn5kSCj-VNM/видео.html ).
3:46 I didn't take this out of my mind, and it's a fucking crazy guy to enter the enemy camp hahahaha Oh, I don't want to meet with the top team of the same team.These are truly top-notch skills: ruclips.net/video/rCM4wbKKkEE/видео.html
Wow, it's been a while since I haven't seen it, but you have become very virtuousThese are truly top-notch skills: ruclips.net/video/rCM4wbKKkEE/видео.html
Me and my friend LITERALLY just started playing last night with the help of her boyfriend. We just play against bots so we could test the different characters and see what we like. So far, I like Miss Fortune (my first champion) and Sona. My friend really loves Viktor (cough ARCANE cough) and Gwen
I mean if you think about it, Lulu's a solid fighter with her kit vs melee, she has an ult that increases hp + provides knockup, she has extra damage every auto, she has that obnoxious polymorph, a shield, and an MS/AS steroid.
@@thatbacon4104 lulu is a enchanter support. Her place is in botlane next to the adc. Putting her top is just another meta abusing ranged top degeneracy
@@Manly2000Man Thats the problem, her kit might be meant for support but for top lane, her kit absolutely destroyed people when she was SSS tier, That's also what happened to Soraka Top (Q kiting, E silence and global R go brr) and Sona Top/Mid (Q Dark Harvest proc + lich bane + passive go brr)
Toplane will teach people how to play against, mages, adc, tanks, bruisers, junglers and supports. Because some people dont conform to a meta there, but this happens mostly to toplane only
This was extremely helpful, and I appreciate a creator looking out for beginners because they would like everyone to truly enjoy the game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. 😌
I’m so happy I haven’t come across too much toxicity so far. Mostly nice people who joke with me when I make a mistake. Sorry to y’all who get harassed for being new
I really wish I had this when I started, I couldnt find a guide that taught me everything I needed. I had to learn things like roles and lanes by myself after watching 30 minute videos, the fact that you taught everything in 25 minutes is amazing
I can't count how many friends I've tried introducing league to only for them to be turned off because it seemed to "complicated" I'm so glad a video like this finally exists!!
What I took away from this: 1. Just get familiar with things. 2. Know which things best counter other things. 3. Things will suck more the less you know. 4. Embrace the inevitable suck of being new. 5. Kill all the things only when the opportunity is ripe. 6. Don’t get ganked.
From a veteran player (10 years) ignore the adc tips. Ashe and jinx are litteraly the most immobile champs in the game and thus are extremely hard to play on a good level. Just ignore adc as a role altogether if you are just starting out with this game. This game is extremely difficult to learn and is extremely punishing to new players. Do not get demotivated or something but, its a lot of information (when i started 10 years ago it was a shit ton of info, now its even more) so watch a lot of yt vids to learn champs you think are cool looking. Just play whatever the fuck u wanna play. This is by far the best and the worst game i have played over the years so thats should say something. This game will make you psyched about the gaming community and at the same time will wanna make you kill yourself. I cannot describe it better.
If you are entirely new to jungle... *DO NOT PLAY MASTER YI.* *DISCLAIMER* This is entirely my opinion, so feel free to disagree or touch up on anything I missed. In addition, you can climb with ANY CHAMPION in the game, as long as you have SOLID FUNDAMENTALS. So Master Yi is fine, just not optimal in my opinion. While Yi scales hard into the late game as a power farming hyper carry, he teaches *bad habits* to newer players such as not looking at *lane states* (whereas Warwick's kit forces you to look for gank options) and power farming while hoping your teammates don't feed. *Ganking is super important* from the perspective of the jungler, because *jungle camp gold and xp is a particularly slow way* to get items, especially if you're not pathing well or kiting efficiently. However, ganking is incredibly difficult--especially for newer players--if neither the jungler nor the laner has any form of *crowd control,* and Yi does not. Furthermore, if Yi doesn't get a lead in the early game, he can and will be *punished* by more experienced junglers, preventing him from reaching his powerspikes. (Although when I first started jungling, playing Master Yi, I didn't need anyone to shut me down. I ended up shutting myself down.) Master Yi is a really strong champion in the right hands (and against the right kind of players), but *should not* be the way one is introduced to the jungle. In my opinion, *tank junglers* are some of the easiest to play when learning due to their simple kits, reliable crowd control, and survivability in teamfights (such as Zac, Rammus, Nunu and Amumu), though their *initial jungle clears* may not be as healthy as Warwick's (unless you're playing Nunu). *Beginner bruiser junglers* include Vi, Jarvan IV (who typically builds tank items), and Hecarim. *Beginner assassin junglers* (might) include Kha'zix, Ekko, and (regrettably) Master Yi. (Although assassins are usually a harder class to play.) I'd *stay away* from *mages and marksmen* in the jungle, because they're typically niche picks that, like assassins, are harder to play. I'd also avoid support junglers such as Ivern because they have such a *unique* style of play that it becomes difficult to translate those jungling skills to other champions. *Early game junglers* such as Elise and Rek'Sai will typically be some of the more *mechanically demanding* champions to play. Not only that, but their playstyle is very *dynamic* and can be a bit overwhelming for new junglers. Furthermore, you'll need to know how to close out games quickly in order to dominate with these picks, so most people will introduce new junglers to champions that scale well into the late game such as (here it comes) Master Yi. Note: Man, I wish Xin Zhao had a better place in the meta so that there could be a viable early game jungler that wasn't so mechanical. Sad.
Something worth noting, even super simple characters' effectiveness depend solely on who's in control. So there's nothing wrong with sticking to the easy stuff, your skill is the ultimate expression of how your character performs
Not my noob dumbass picking anivia as a main and then wondering why I keep losing when I don't even know the full controls yet 💀 I'm a chicken owner who wants to study ornithology, my bird brain always goes towards the flying things
For ADC I definitely would have recommended Caitlyn over Jinx. Jinx would be more difficult to play for newcomers because she has quite a few skillshots,Whereas Caitlyn is kind of braindead
lmao no, jinx is purely auto caitlyn actually has 2more impactful skill shots (q,e) when you dont take jinx's ult into account plus most of the time you will just be out dps'ing them with jinx so her ult wont matter too much
I've been playing for 2 years and Cait is still to hard for me lmao I dont think anyone has stepped on a trap a single time ever I went like 0/11/1 last game on her send help
For new players I highly reccomend playing Aram because the range of characters you can try and practice nowadays is extremely large. Its very easy to learn champions in aram as you can play any one at any time. Allowing you to learn champion interactions and what are cancer builds to play around (Heartsteel Veigar, Heartsteel Vladimir, Kraken Slayer Yi). Also, if you have faith in yourself in mid run dark seal its busted op in mid mage champs
I think its too late to play this game for me because there is so much shit and everything is so complicated my brain can't comprehend what anything does, sadly i really wanted to play this game and get good at it but i dont think that possible at this point.
Me: Hm, I play mobile lagends, it shouldn't be that hard to adjust to wild rift. *Sees this video *Slowly closes computer *Prepares for the apocalypse.
Biggest advice to new players in my opinion is to mute a player as soon as they show signs of toxicity. It's of course good to be able to communicate effectively and learn from other player's tactics, but if communicating with some people makes the game unfun and damages your team's morale, it's better to not listen to them at all.
Ok, probably dumb question but why do fighters and tanks go in toplane, mages and assassins go in midlane, and ADCs and supports go in botlane, as opposed to fighter mid, mage bot, and ADC support top? What inheritance advantages do these classes have in these lanes?
Honestly there is no shame in just sticking to intermediate bot games until you feel comfortable with a character that you understand how they function. The hardest part is learning how to counter 155 characters.
i started 2 weeks ago and this game is addicting af and i just played a match that was 60 minutes long! it was so fun mostly because i was jungling with volibear he is really good and nice to play
Getting into this game is so difficult. As a new player joining matches im surrounded by smurfs who immediately flame me for being bad. Im just trying to learn lol
I know this is a horrible idea but Kellen Goff voices a character here (and he sounded beautiful as Fiddlesticks) and hes my favorite VA of all time...and im not new to MOBA........ Wish me luck boys ima just mute VC, text chat, and stay away from the communities
This was super helpful as someone new to League! Have always wanted to play but could never find the right info, so I was scared off whenever I tried to start playing. Still have much more to learn but I'm definitely grateful for this gateway into the game!
These types of games seem so appealing to me but I’m not the type of person who likes to play with randos in any game. I’ve tried league and after playing with bots for a while I went into my first game. People were so mean and vile I stopped for weeks. Tried again, same result. And I have no friends who play mobas, so I just watch these videos and wish I could play lol
@@BestNeekoNA how about you don’t tell me what I need to do. Thanks.

Not me dying a good 4 times in tutorial 😂
ok what
As someone who has never played a game like League before, deadass same, except i actually did die during the tutorial. Like, bitch, I haven't even had time to read wtf my abilities do, basically all you've done is teach me how to MOVE my character, and you already have a swarm of enemies hauling ass in my direction trying to end me??? That AI wrecked my shit in less than ten seconds while I was button mashing and praying that something I pressed would do enough damage to kill them before they killed me. Just PLEASE LET ME READ THE TOOLTIPS before you throw me into WW2 TT-TT At least give me a dummy to practice my shit on or something first
just play garen
I died like 2 times in the tutorial today LOL
This makes chess seem so simple. I really wanna start playing this game but even after watching this video, I still have no clue what the whole game is about lol.
@@pabo-idle4922 i am the same as the guy above i have never played a moba before i have played mostly shooters before but i am trying league and yes i feel like i never touched a game begore in my life
@@noddlecak3279 i really want you to try mobile legend bang bang, there u would understand the basic game mechanic a little better, yeah after mlbb i understand league a little better but not like i am a pro. try that and tell me how it goes
Okay okay okay so, I started playing this game in 2017 for fun. I still have no idea what I’m doing (because I don’t play much) and I’m just now starting to try and actually learn the game.
Here’s the gist: take towers, get to enemy team’s side, take THOSE towers, win. The end. The in-between stuff is what I don’t know lmao
@@pabo-idle4922 that game helped a lot I just started league of legends and mobile legends bang bang honeslty helped me alot, it’s basically league of legends on mobile
@@cabbagememes2852 yes but league of legends is a bit more tough and league of legends have its own mobile version too. its called league of legends wild rift, its gonna be harder than mobile legends tho
13:26 How to avoid click bait? Don't watch Pro Guides
gooooode one
im a bit out of the loop, why Proguides bad?
@@Wieprzek i don't think they're 'bad' - they aren't much different from this channel. however, proguides tends to use a lot of clickbaity titles (seriously, just go look) while SkillCapped tends to let their content speak for them. just my opinion!
@@kosmos973 I think their guides are much worse than skill capped ones though. Not only they have clickbaits but Skill capped give general, objective information about the game, and they are consistent with their methods and uploading videos.
@@leasanabria i agree.
I played 5 real games so far and kinda feel like the most hated person on earth.
don't worry, it's all on them.
XDDDD
Hey same
so league of legends is basically a modernized, more complex version of chess.
I dunno about more complex but your first description is right.
@@lightisbetterthanlight566 it's definitely more complex... there are way more variables from champion matchups to RNG plants to RNG drakes and infinite pathing possibilities as well as teamfight positioning and resource management. You can build a chess engine to run millions of game simulations which are all valid variations of all future and past games. You can't build a league engine that will predict the flow of a game with any amount of acceptable or comparable accuracy to the chess engine
@@samusaran4799 yes, but you are failing to acknowledge the fact that LoL is based on team play, which brings in a whole new set of variables. In Chess, whether you win or lose the game depends completely on the accuracy of your moves. In LoL, you only control one character, which means that you are actually just controlling 1 piece on the board and your teammates would be controlling the other remaining pieces. This means that you could play perfectly, but still lose because of your teammates. This means that Lol is more teamwork and coordination based. This is also why engines will not work, Lol is not a calculation based game, it is teamwork, coordination, and obviously strategy, and all these are dependent on human communication, which engines can’t simulate nor replicate. Obviously, I am not saying Lol is easier than Chess, I am just saying it is dependent on other things that don’t necessarily relate to “Complexity” but rather to how well you can communicate with others and how fast you can think (Which are complex things, but that’s not what complex means in this context). There are after all like 10^120 possible games of chess so I would not believe you if you said League was more complicated than Chess. Chess is so advanced that it is literally more complicated than our universe (Maybe not MORE, but definitely rivals the universes complexity). HOWEVER, do take all this with a grain of salt because I might be wrong. I don’t actually play Lol, I came here to see what it was like. One of my chess buddies plays it, so I figured I would look at it.
@@lightisbetterthanlight566 you’re failing to realize that the one piece you do control is 1/150 possible pieces you can choose which each have individual movements, abilities, itemization options, and play style. And the positioning and movement is not locked to a grid system but instead it’s free of any constraints which open up way more options. Chess is not complicated, it’s simple by its very nature. Simple rules, simple win condition, restricted piece movement. What makes it difficult is understanding the potential of each piece on the board and capitalizing on it. LoL is the same but with many more rules, way more pieces to play and play styles to memorize playing and playing against. My point is this. You’ve experienced newbies play chess and they’re terrible because their game sense and logic is weak, not their knowledge of “wait how does this piece move?”. Try playing league. You will 100% be overwhelmed by all the things you need to learn just to perform at a novice level.
@@samusaran4799 why must you compare these games?

Yo SCCLG, I have wanted to make a video like this to share with friends for awhile. Although, I think this is a bit too technical, and you reference a lot of League terminology in your fundamental descriptions.
This can be THE hardest type of teaching video to create. I know it takes a massive amount of planning. I have some suggestions if you guys are interested. Above all, don't try to explain too much and try to keep it at about 10 minutes.
Maybe I am thinking of a different type of video though (for an even broader audience), but I see a game intro video as a type of sales pitch. I think it is worth making another video like this (maybe a bit later). I know I would appreciate something I could show my grandmother to explain the difference between esports and conventional video games, something that will help my mother understand that League cannot be paused, and something that shows how cool League esports can be ( I often show people clips from the 2017 World Championship ruclips.net/video/fn5kSCj-VNM/видео.html ).
Would be cool if it could have translations
Me, who picked up Fiddlesticks because I though he looked cool: *sweats in 0/13/1*
I feel you.
only 13 deaths???? lmaoo try a few more deaths and then come talk to me
LMAOOOOOOOOO you actually had me laughing out loud cuz I feel like all beginners been through this 🤣
Me who only picks support but has to pick a second lane, adc and uses sivir because I like that champ *cries in 0/11/14*
@@Darclient who took your kills brotha?
Okay, now that's a guide my teammates in SoloQ really need
I can't see if I post it at this time.These are truly top-notch skills: ruclips.net/video/jnHAfZvQpyc/видео.html
ill watch this just for you my guy

Me and my friend LITERALLY just started playing last night with the help of her boyfriend. We just play against bots so we could test the different characters and see what we like. So far, I like Miss Fortune (my first champion) and Sona. My friend really loves Viktor (cough ARCANE cough) and Gwen
sir with all due respect. what the hell are you talking about
“This is where fighters thrives”
Shows Camille vs lulu
Yup. The top lane really is made of top laners
I mean if you think about it, Lulu's a solid fighter with her kit vs melee, she has an ult that increases hp + provides knockup, she has extra damage every auto, she has that obnoxious polymorph, a shield, and an MS/AS steroid.
lulu is a top laner XD
@@thatbacon4104 lulu is a enchanter support. Her place is in botlane next to the adc. Putting her top is just another meta abusing ranged top degeneracy
@@Manly2000Man Thats the problem, her kit might be meant for support but for top lane, her kit absolutely destroyed people when she was SSS tier, That's also what happened to Soraka Top (Q kiting, E silence and global R go brr) and Sona Top/Mid (Q Dark Harvest proc + lich bane + passive go brr)
Toplane will teach people how to play against, mages, adc, tanks, bruisers, junglers and supports. Because some people dont conform to a meta there, but this happens mostly to toplane only
ive been playing for years but i feel like i need to know absolutely everything i can because the game is so toxic it makes me scared to play lmaoooo
Samee
This was extremely helpful, and I appreciate a creator looking out for beginners because they would like everyone to truly enjoy the game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. 😌
Arcane brings me here. Wassup kids
Hope this one helps, and get my bf be proud of me.
Me too.
lmao we broke up HAHAHAH i deserve better. he’s a big pain in the ass
@@viaamanda7828 you should have expected this from a league player
@@salmofhahrks hahah no it wasn’t the reason. i was a gamer too since i was a kid ya know ehe. the game isn’t really the problem. but the person 🤣
i hope you’re doing well babe!! btw you have any tips for the game i wanna play it w my bf too but it’s so confusing 😭😭
Geez, I think I need the beginners to the beginners guide. I was so lost in this guide.
Same here....Watching the game install now and am already ready to uninstall once it finishes lmao.
I’m so happy I haven’t come across too much toxicity so far. Mostly nice people who joke with me when I make a mistake. Sorry to y’all who get harassed for being new
I really wish I had this when I started, I couldnt find a guide that taught me everything I needed. I had to learn things like roles and lanes by myself after watching 30 minute videos, the fact that you taught everything in 25 minutes is amazing
Me: Playing league since season 3
Also me: I'm gonna watch this anyways
I mean it’s never too late to learn something new
alrightttttt imma go back to playin minecraft i guess
15:47 "he takes no skill to pick up" sounds about right
When you have 600k points on yi👌🥶
I can't count how many friends I've tried introducing league to only for them to be turned off because it seemed to "complicated" I'm so glad a video like this finally exists!!
Yeah Arcane on Netflix will have a bunch of new folks heading to the game
I think that lux is also a good champion to start with, she's very easy to use and she can get very strong
Laughing Out Loud is a game?!? Who would have guessed!
Soooooo is there anyone search how to play lol after watching arcane?
What I took away from this:
1. Just get familiar with things.
2. Know which things best counter other things.
3. Things will suck more the less you know.
4. Embrace the inevitable suck of being new.
5. Kill all the things only when the opportunity is ripe.
6. Don’t get ganked.
From a veteran player (10 years) ignore the adc tips. Ashe and jinx are litteraly the most immobile champs in the game and thus are extremely hard to play on a good level. Just ignore adc as a role altogether if you are just starting out with this game.
This game is extremely difficult to learn and is extremely punishing to new players. Do not get demotivated or something but, its a lot of information (when i started 10 years ago it was a shit ton of info, now its even more) so watch a lot of yt vids to learn champs you think are cool looking. Just play whatever the fuck u wanna play.
This is by far the best and the worst game i have played over the years so thats should say something. This game will make you psyched about the gaming community and at the same time will wanna make you kill yourself. I cannot describe it better.
POV: you watched arcane
any total noobs wanna play and learn the game together? playing with experienced players and not knowing what you are doing is v stressful to me
Just realized Bot means bottom. I thought everyone was calling me a “Bot” 😭🚶🏼♀️
If you are entirely new to jungle... *DO NOT PLAY MASTER YI.*
*DISCLAIMER* This is entirely my opinion, so feel free to disagree or touch up on anything I missed. In addition, you can climb with ANY CHAMPION in the game, as long as you have SOLID FUNDAMENTALS. So Master Yi is fine, just not optimal in my opinion.
While Yi scales hard into the late game as a power farming hyper carry, he teaches *bad habits* to newer players such as not looking at *lane states* (whereas Warwick's kit forces you to look for gank options) and power farming while hoping your teammates don't feed.
*Ganking is super important* from the perspective of the jungler, because *jungle camp gold and xp is a particularly slow way* to get items, especially if you're not pathing well or kiting efficiently. However, ganking is incredibly difficult--especially for newer players--if neither the jungler nor the laner has any form of *crowd control,* and Yi does not. Furthermore, if Yi doesn't get a lead in the early game, he can and will be *punished* by more experienced junglers, preventing him from reaching his powerspikes. (Although when I first started jungling, playing Master Yi, I didn't need anyone to shut me down. I ended up shutting myself down.)
Master Yi is a really strong champion in the right hands (and against the right kind of players), but *should not* be the way one is introduced to the jungle.
In my opinion, *tank junglers* are some of the easiest to play when learning due to their simple kits, reliable crowd control, and survivability in teamfights (such as Zac, Rammus, Nunu and Amumu), though their *initial jungle clears* may not be as healthy as Warwick's (unless you're playing Nunu).
*Beginner bruiser junglers* include Vi, Jarvan IV (who typically builds tank items), and Hecarim.
*Beginner assassin junglers* (might) include Kha'zix, Ekko, and (regrettably) Master Yi. (Although assassins are usually a harder class to play.)
I'd *stay away* from *mages and marksmen* in the jungle, because they're typically niche picks that, like assassins, are harder to play. I'd also avoid support junglers such as Ivern because they have such a *unique* style of play that it becomes difficult to translate those jungling skills to other champions.
*Early game junglers* such as Elise and Rek'Sai will typically be some of the more *mechanically demanding* champions to play. Not only that, but their playstyle is very *dynamic* and can be a bit overwhelming for new junglers. Furthermore, you'll need to know how to close out games quickly in order to dominate with these picks, so most people will introduce new junglers to champions that scale well into the late game such as (here it comes) Master Yi.
Note: Man, I wish Xin Zhao had a better place in the meta so that there could be a viable early game jungler that wasn't so mechanical. Sad.
Who else's crush is playing this and now you watch this?
😳👀😂😂😂 how did u know? Hahahaha
Shit... how'd you know?
lmao i tried to use WASD to move my champion :)
started playing because of arcane
Something worth noting, even super simple characters' effectiveness depend solely on who's in control. So there's nothing wrong with sticking to the easy stuff, your skill is the ultimate expression of how your character performs
Not my noob dumbass picking anivia as a main and then wondering why I keep losing when I don't even know the full controls yet 💀
I'm a chicken owner who wants to study ornithology, my bird brain always goes towards the flying things
i am having SUCH A HARD TIME FOLLOWING ALONG LMFAO
I’ll teach you :D
Nightblue and entertaining ah best joke in years
For ADC I definitely would have recommended Caitlyn over Jinx. Jinx would be more difficult to play for newcomers because she has quite a few skillshots,Whereas Caitlyn is kind of braindead
lmao no, jinx is purely auto caitlyn actually has 2more impactful skill shots (q,e) when you dont take jinx's ult into account plus most of the time you will just be out dps'ing them with jinx so her ult wont matter too much
I've been playing for 2 years and Cait is still to hard for me lmao
I dont think anyone has stepped on a trap a single time ever
I went like 0/11/1 last game on her send help
cait definitely has way more skill expression with traps and E. Jinx's only skillshots are not that important comparatively.
@@regretsin8502 your name tells the story
@@k4rim799 sounds about right
For new players I highly reccomend playing Aram because the range of characters you can try and practice nowadays is extremely large. Its very easy to learn champions in aram as you can play any one at any time. Allowing you to learn champion interactions and what are cancer builds to play around (Heartsteel Veigar, Heartsteel Vladimir, Kraken Slayer Yi). Also, if you have faith in yourself in mid run dark seal its busted op in mid mage champs
A veteran Dota 2 player here, omg this is so complex, dragons, monsters, flash. Tf is this
Lmao I feel the same about dota, I’ve played league for 4 years and tried dota once… probably won’t ever again xD
I think its too late to play this game for me because there is so much shit and everything is so complicated my brain can't comprehend what anything does, sadly i really wanted to play this game and get good at it but i dont think that possible at this point.
Its never too late lol. Learn one thing at a time. Step by step.
POV: You came here from Arcane
idk why tf i'm watching this at 4:30am when i been playing for 4 years
Me: Hm, I play mobile lagends, it shouldn't be that hard to adjust to wild rift.
*Sees this video
*Slowly closes computer
*Prepares for the apocalypse.
Biggest advice to new players in my opinion is to mute a player as soon as they show signs of toxicity. It's of course good to be able to communicate effectively and learn from other player's tactics, but if communicating with some people makes the game unfun and damages your team's morale, it's better to not listen to them at all.
who else is here because of arcane 💀
Ok, probably dumb question but why do fighters and tanks go in toplane, mages and assassins go in midlane, and ADCs and supports go in botlane, as opposed to fighter mid, mage bot, and ADC support top? What inheritance advantages do these classes have in these lanes?
bc
Honestly there is no shame in just sticking to intermediate bot games until you feel comfortable with a character that you understand how they function. The hardest part is learning how to counter 155 characters.
My school has a esports team this is the game so that’s why I am here
Hope you enjoy it
bruh im here from arcanee
have played for 2k hours want to learn the basics.
i started 2 weeks ago and this game is addicting af and i just played a match that was 60 minutes long! it was so fun mostly because i was jungling with volibear he is really good and nice to play
thanks man now i finally gained the confidence to mix clorox bleach and vinegar in a boiling pot at the childrens hospital :D
I wanted to start playing because of arcane
Getting into this game is so difficult. As a new player joining matches im surrounded by smurfs who immediately flame me for being bad. Im just trying to learn lol
i got linked this by the enemy when we lost :(
Good on them, seem to be offering help at least
Anyone else just joining bcuz arcane hyped you up
Learning to play this game because of Arcane
I know this is a horrible idea but Kellen Goff voices a character here (and he sounded beautiful as Fiddlesticks) and hes my favorite VA of all time...and im not new to MOBA........
Wish me luck boys ima just mute VC, text chat, and stay away from the communities
This was super helpful as someone new to League! Have always wanted to play but could never find the right info, so I was scared off whenever I tried to start playing. Still have much more to learn but I'm definitely grateful for this gateway into the game!
i watched this, joined my first game, and kept dying in two seconds :) on top of that my teammates were (scarily) toxic ... oh well
These types of games seem so appealing to me but I’m not the type of person who likes to play with randos in any game. I’ve tried league and after playing with bots for a while I went into my first game. People were so mean and vile I stopped for weeks. Tried again, same result. And I have no friends who play mobas, so I just watch these videos and wish I could play lol
@@BestNeekoNA how about you don’t tell me what I need to do. Thanks. I’m not saying it makes me sit around crying but it’s not an inviting atmosphere for a game in my opinion and it makes matches suck because there’s no communication I’m just being shit on by the other players because I’m still learning. Eat shit.
@@Patrickbsfan2 just mute them
@@fleecejohnsonbandit I could do that, but it just irritates me that I can’t communicate with my team. That’s what the chat is there for.
@@Patrickbsfan2 no, just mute the particular player(s)
@@fleecejohnsonbandit it’s about 98% of the player base from what I’ve seen. Meaning most of the teammates are doing it not just 1 or 2. But thanks for the advice.
