I don't know why I'm so bad at this game. Me and a friend of mine just started playing LoL a couple of days ago. I've played about 5 matches and I'm awful at the game; he's played a total of 2 matches and he's already really getting the hang of it. We 1v1'ed and he annihilated me. Any pointers? I just don't know why I'm so bad at this game or better yet this genre (I'm awful at DOTA 2 as well).

Where to even start... There's a whole list full of things to watch out for... Are you last hitting minions, are you building your champs properly, are you playing more defensively, are you learning how your opponent plays, are you you building to counter you opponent, some champs suck at countering others, etc...

Those are good tips, I haven't really paid attention to any of that. I'll be sure to keep these in mind next time I'm in a game.

Here is the ridiculously detailed wiki created by the LoL community that carefully explains effective strategies and builds.

Best advice is to practice, practice, practice. I am pretty sure everyone starts out by sucking at the game, there is SO much to learn. That wiki guide is a one stop shop for pretty much everything you need to know. I played until level 30, and thought I was pretty good at the game, until I starting playing some draft games, then I found out that my hundreds of hours prior was just the beginning. Another very important thing to learn is when to initiate and follow in fights, and when to run like hell. Just keep playing, and try to learn as you go, it is definitely a long road, but when you get addicted to it (like I am sure most of the people in this thread are), you start to get the gist of it. Good luck!

I've played almost 500 normal games, and 30 (40?) ranked games.

I'm still learning new things each match.

All I play now is ranked and needless to say I don't play with my buddies anymore, unless they want to duo que. I start today on my college campus bored during a lecture so I decide to jump on LoL for the rest of the 3 hours. I lost 4 games in a row due to bad team-work and a lot of newbish blunders, so I took a break for about 5 hours. I came on later to play around and won 2 ranked games, one as victor mid and the other was varus solo top against wukong (we had an ad carry already but I wanted just to try out varus's solo top, it's eh)

The only reason why I'm saying this is because after those 4 loses I was about to take my Winchester 870 MC, well you get it. If you cool off, chances are it will improve your game-play, and overall outlook.

I'm currently almost 800 elo, from 505 elo, and getting out of elo hell biggrin.gif
