League of Legends - "The Enemies Inhibitor is respawning soon!"

[Katadeus]

Don't expect quick progress. It'll take a long time to become good at this game.

so i just got this game to play with some friends.

anything i should know other than the tutorial?

Lasthit minions <--- Its the most important thing in the game

[Katadeus]

Especially as Veigar, always last-hit minions with your q.
Also, get DFG so that your burst goes crazy.

[Acid]

Just remember everyone at level 1 will all want to hit the shiny red enemy champion (That's you!) so be ready for non stop fighting. Just try to get some minion kills in as well.

Like Sony said, last hit minions is the basics. But you must learn to not just hit minions until they die.

You wait until it literally has 1 hit until it dies. You do this because if you continue to auto-attack minions, it pushes out your lane far which gives an opportunity for the enemy for a gank.

There is really a lot needed to be learned to start doing well in any MOBA game, so just keep playing and over time you'll learn.

[Sony]

Also protip LOOK AT THE MAP. Look when other lanes are missing so you're not one of those people Q_Qing about not saying "miss" when its obivious example mid lane is missing. When you look at the map you can prepare if someone is coming to kill you from other lanes

Unless you're support or troll.

Even if you're support, last hitting is important when your carry isn't in lane so that gold doesn't go to waste. But more so supporting your carry's last hitting - that is, helping them hit each caster minion once under tower before the tower hit so they can last hit easy, making sure to spread hits or attack only the seige creep when pushing so as to not mess up their last hits, etc.

And you can be super troll as supports like Soraka when your heal is level 1 and heal your minion right before the enemy goes to last hit. It survives and one of the enemy minions finishes it off instead. Cute little way to deny during the first level or two (they'd dive you to punish you for wasting your heal once they have more skills).

Yup.

I've done this a few times. It's funny.

All champ jokes, some of them are pretty damn funny.

Varus fits in my book as a semi-carry.

You pick him for the cc and for the moderate amount of aoe damage. If the other team does its job right your main carry will be focused, and when that happens the semi-carry cleans up the people who are focusing the main carry.

Or something similar to that role.

Like a backup carry with an emphasis on CC from the 6-12 or the 6-15 level range. Late game he can pick it up.

[kevin 51l]

except a ranged carry isn't supposed to be the semi-carry. end-game they should be the all-out damage of the team and should be outdamaging top and mid.

And varus does this, just lost a ranked when enemy varus just stomped our whole team

loving shaco so useless :|

[kevin 51l]

lost a game, but the good part is that it wasn't because of me, so still yet to throw a ranked

on the other hand, that mid was badd :((
