League of Legends Noob



I've currently started playing LoL (League of Legends) a free Mmorpg (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) for the PC. I've got to admit the fact of me playing Lol was somewhat off putting, it didn't seam like a game I would like very much, and the other fact I was too preoccupied with reading novels on my new Kobo. So after a little peer pressure and the fact my bf downloaded it onto his pc, I gave it a go.

In the tutorial you have the choice to pic between 3 playable characters:
Ryze; the rogue mage, a ranged magic caster (450IP or 260 RP)
Ashe; the frost archer, a ranged carry (450IP or 260 RP)
Garen; the might of Demacia, a melee fighter (1350IP or 585 RP)

I chose Ashe which, I had fun trying out the fact she's ranged and noob friendly makes it both fun and entertaining while I'm still able to learn the basics of lol. I've never tried Ryze nor Garen, and don't really plan to. The thing about the tutorial champions Ryze, Ashe, and Garren is the fact you can not keep them after you chose to take the tutorial. You can purchase them once you acquire enough IP (points earned after playing a match that can last between approximately 15-60 mins) or by RP (points that can be purchased by Riot).

Every Tuesday there are new champions rotated, but instead of doing the smart thing and just trying out champions and finding the one that suits me the best I chose to buy Annie a little girl who captured a shadow bear and trapped it in her teddy. Annie is a very fun, simple champion to play although I didn't like playing her at all at the beginning. If you don't know what you're doing with her, you're well... squishy! A term used for champions with no defenses.

I am currently at level 9 with 4 champions to my name

Annie; the dark child, a ranged mage
Amumu; the sad mummy, a melee tank
Alistar; the Minotaur aka the cow (my personal nickname for him), a melee tank (free on youtube)
Tristana; the megling gunner, a ranged carry (free on FB)

It's a very fun game and I do recommend to give this game at least one try, you never know you might like it.
