The beginning

                                                                

                 When you first start playing League of Legends, that time period could be the most frustrating and toughest time you'll encounter while playing the game. But having knowledge of the basics will make your experience much better. Fewer people will be mad at your for playing badly and not knowing what to do. Also, having knowledge will increase your chances at winning your games. There are many things you can do to enhance your game performance.

 

                After you log into your account, you are able to choose three different maps and a few different game modes. To learn more about these maps and game modes, click here. After you choose your game mode, you will choose a character, and these characters are referred as champions. Also, when you're in champion select, you choose two spells to help aid you in the game like healing, shielding, and teleporting. These two spells will assist you in battling your opponents, I recommend ignite and flash because they are the most commonly used by pro League of Legends players. Finally, you have to choose your masteries and runes, which customizes your character's stats. Runes and masteries can determine whether you win or lose fights, so choose wisely! There is a countdown period until the game starts for you to choose your champion, summoner skills, runes and masteries.

             

                        When the game begins, you will find a shop near where you start off at. In the shop, there are items you can buy with gold to help with your defensive stats or offensive stats. I recommend Dorans Ring, Dorans Shield, or Dorans Blade when you begin, depending on your job. You earn gold by killing minions, turrets or enemy champions. But make sure you get the last hit on them or else you won't get gold from it. Minions help assist you in battle but they are not smart and just fight with the enemy minions, but if you are getting attacked by the enemy and are close enough to your minions, they will assist you in battle but just a small amount.

                The objective of the game is to destroy turrets, inhibitors and the nexus. Turrets are towers that prevent enemies from getting to your inhibitors by attacking enemy units. Turrets mainly focus on what runs near them first, mainly the minions most of the time but they will switch targets from minions to enemy champion if their ally champions are being attacked. But turrets have a certain range so as long as you stay outside of that range, you are good! After you get through all the turrets, there will be an inhibitor. When you and your team destroy the enemy inhibitor, you will start spawning super minions, which are just minions with higher stats. After you get past the inhibitors, there are two more sets of turrets protecting the nexus. The nexus is what you have to destroy to win the game, it has a decent amount of health so it might take a little longer than destroying inhibitors or turrets.

                 

These are the basics of the game and what you have to do in order to win.
