Q&A for How to Play League of Legends

The term "ganking" is when a jungle comes out to a lane to preferably sneak attack the enemy when they are farther away from their turret, helping a teammate by helping to kill the enemy. "Blue buff" is a buff from the Blue Senteniel, or the blue rock golems, when you kill it. It gives you more mana regeneration and a bit more damage.

Chat by pressing [Enter] and typing in your message, then press [Enter] again to send it. For signals, Press [G] and click on the game or minimap to ping. Pressing [V] and clicking will send a warning in that spot. If you Press [G] and hold your mouse, it will bring up a wheel with 4 options: "Be Careful", "Enemies are missing", "I need Assistance", and "On the Way."

You can. It's not recommended; some yordles (like rumble, fizz, heimerdinger) are not designed for jungle play.

Right-click to move and attack enemies; left-click to view information of champions and to buy items in the shop.

Since Nasus is melee, it is easy to avoid him. His main strength comes from killing minions with his Q, Siphoning Strike. During early game, try to harass him every time he gets near the minions. This will make him back off and not farm as much. You can also look at the enemy builds with [Tab] during the game. See if he is building attack dmg, ability power, or tanky items. If he is building AD, build armor. If he is playing AP and keeps hitting those circles on you, build some magic resistance items. If he's building tank, tell your team to focus him in the teamfights to burst him down. But the most important part is keep denying him farm. Nasus early is very easy to bully.

You can try to convince them that you are a role that really needs it, you could point out that your abilities cost more mana than the person who is trying to take it. If the person who is taking it has no mana costs, bring that up.

Yes. Her long range W attack provides pokes to the enemy. Since there are lots of brushes in that map, she can put her E in a brush and the enemy won't see it until they walk into it. Since Crystal Scar is a smaller map than Summoner's Rift, it becomes easier to hit one of her ultimates.

Just try not to die. Don't even try to get kills. Just stay in your lane and farm until you are strong enough to help. It is highly recommended that you play an easy starting hero like Sven with lots of health. If you want to sharpen your skills and try combos, play on the sandbox mode where you get to control everything. You can even spawn an enemy to play with. If DoTA is too hard, try League.

Absolutely! The enemy ADC is arguable the biggest target for your team in the late game. They can wipe out your entire team easily, so they are very good to take out. Go for it, even if you die.

Teemo is good for scouting, so use him to help your team track down enemies and their locations. Teemo isn't very strong, so when using him, avoid confronting your enemies.

In the beginning, the Jungler usually goes to the Red Brambleback or the Blue Sentinel to take it with the help of his teammates. After this, he relies on killing neutral monsters to keep up with their laning teammates in terms of gold and experience. The Jungler will sometimes make surprise attacks (commonly referred to as "ganks") on your enemies and help you to kill them.

People usually say this if you are feeding or dying a lot, or simply if you aren't playing the game the way they want. You can ignore this, or if you feel that you need to become better, research League in general. Try to get a basic view of most champions, or 4 - 5 in each role. Read guides and build recommendations on your favorite champs. Play bots a lot to get a good understanding of your spells and farming. Most feeding in League comes from not enough farms. If you kill minions, you get gold, you get items, and you'll do tons of damage, no matter how many kills or deaths you have. And remember, it's just a game.

There is no champion that technically has the strongest power in the game.

League of Legends lives up to its name as a "free to play game" by giving you champs for free. At the beginning 6 levels, you will have a set amount of 10 champions that you can play. These include Garen, Ashe, Ryze, Jinx, Shyvana. After you get Level 6, every level beyond that will have the same "Free Champion Rotation" Everyone in the entire region, no matter their level will have the same free champs. Beyond the 10 free champs, you can also buy champions with RP and IP. IP you automatically get with every game, whether you win or lose. Champions cost different amounts of IP, from 450 to 6300. you can also buy champions with Riot Points.

You attack by left clicking the enemy.

If you queue up with reliable teammates you personally know or that you can chat with in voice chat, you usually improve as a team. You'll learn their play styles and adapt better. In solo-queue, you're kind of stuck with whichever 4 people you happen to get. You can try ping, tell them what you're going to do or offer constructive criticism.

First, make sure you are last-hitting every single jungle monster by using Q. That includes the mini Krugs that spawn. This will significantly slow down your clear, but will net you more stacks. Additionally, try using your E ability when you initially attack the jungle camp, so as not to accidently kill anything with that instead of your Q. Focus on clearing raptors, wolves, and krugs the most as this will gain you the most stacks. You can also run into lanes where your teammates are not to stack off of some of the minions.

The short answer: that's it. That is the only way to win, besides the enemy surrendering. Another goal to aim for would be challenges, introduced in 2022. These are mini objectives to complete throughout your games, such as "Kill baron before 21 minutes" or "Survive a fight on single digit health". While these have no effect on your recorded wins/losses, they are fun to attempt and will show up on your profile. Some of the rarer ones, such as winning with 5 champions on your team from a certain region in the lore, will gain you lots of respect in the community if you manage to pull it off. Other old game modes such as Blood Moon or Dominion had objectives other than destroying the Nexus.
