Gameplay

General
Players are formed into 2 even teams with 1-5 champions on each team. Each team starts at opposing sides of a map, near what is called a "Nexus". A match is won when either the opposing team's Nexus is destroyed or the other team surrenders. To destroy a Nexus, each team must work through a series of towers called "Turrets". Turrets are often placed along a path to each base referred to as a "Lane". Along the way, each player must gain levels from killing the opposing team's "Champions" and "Minions" (small NPCs that constantly spawn and attack the other team) and defeating neutral monsters (some of which grant buffs known as Crests upon death). Also, champions purchase "Items" with in-match gold to improve their champion. In League of Legends, each player starts at level 1 at the beginning of the match and can obtain the maximum of level 18 with their champion, leveling 4 different champion-specific abilities. There are a large variety of champions, with individual skills

Game modes and matchmaking
League of Legends is a session-based game. Matchmaking occurs based on the average Elo ratings of each individual players, with slight proprietary adjustments.

To play a normal game, you enter a matchmaking queue, either as part of a group or solo. You will then be matched with a team of players of fitting skill of either 3 or 5 players, based on your choice (different map for each team size), and an opposing team will be created likewise. The players will be chosen via the aforementioned Elo system, which is based on your wins/losses, making matches fair.

What is League of Legends?
League of Legends is an Action Real Time Strategy by Riot games, based upon the Defence of the Ancients (DotA) map of Warcraft III.
Players are split into two teams and must battle their way across the map to destroy the enemy team's Nexus. To destroy a Nexus, each team must work through a series of towers called "Turrets". Turrets are often placed along a path to each base referred to as a "Lane". Along the way, each player must gain levels from killing the opposing team's "Champions" and "Minions" (small NPCs that constantly spawn and attack the other team) and defeating neutral monsters (some of which grant buffs known as Crests upon death). Also, champions purchase "Items" with in-match gold to improve their champion. In League of Legends, each player starts at level 1 at the beginning of the match and can obtain the maximum of level 18 with their champion, leveling 4 different champion-specific abilities.

There are two tutorials in the game you can use to familiarise yourself with general gameplay. As you gain experience in playing, you'll undoubtly discover and learn about the strengths and counters to the many champions within the game.


Your summoner
As you play, your account (summoner) will also gain XP. When you gain enough XP, you'll level up, with a level cap of 30. As you level up, more summoner spells, rune slots and mastery points will become available to you.

Summoner Spells
These are spells with long cooldowns that can be used by anyone regardless of what champion they have chosen (providing they are at the required level to use it)

Examples of these include:
Heal - Restores (140 + 20 x Level, 500hp at level 18) health to your champion and 50% of that to nearby allies.

Ghost
Your champion ignores unit collision and moves 32% faster for 14 seconds.

Exhaust
Blinds the target (100% miss chance) and slows their movement speed by 40% for 3 seconds.

Runes
Runes (like the summoner) are a consistent aspect of League of Legends, they provide passive bonuses to your Champion and must be earned by playing the game. As you level your summoner up, you will be able to add more runes into your rune book, making your champion more powerful.

Masteries
Masteries, like runes, give small bonuses to your champions in game. Unliked runes, they don't need to be purchased, as you earn one mastery point per level (max 30). These can be used in your mastery tree.

The Mastery Tree is split into 3 branches; Offense, Defense and Utility.

You can distribute your points however you like between the three, but there are usually certain requirements before you can progress further down each branch e.g. "Requires 6 points in offense"



Game Currency
Champions and runes can be unlocked using Influence Points (IP) that are gained by playing games. Alternatively, you can pay real cash for Riot Points (RP) which you can use to unlock champions, purchase skins and purchase IP/XP boosts. You could compare this to Ijji's G Coin system and GunZ in game bounty.

It is not necessary to purchase champions before playing as there are always about ten champions available for free to play every week. The champions free to play are rotated every week.

Why are some Champions more expensive than others?
The cost of a champion does not necessarily dictate how strong he/she is. Differences in cost are merely there to ease new players into the game; champions at 450 IP are generally easier to play than those that cost more, and new players are able to afford the price.

LeagueCraft guides
LeagueCraft contains many champion specific guides that you can follow to improve your gameplay. I highly recommend you sort the guides by rating in descending order to find the best guides.

gvie me your ingame names so i can add you

I had played LoL, but in game so much runner and back shooters. Then I just ragequit. xD

wtf are runners and back shooters...

Tenshi wrote:wtf are runners and back shooters...

I meant like when I try to attack them, they run, then when I go back to kill others he comes back. And again I try to attack him, he run, that continue more and more. Every game match. D'x

That's called harrassing. It's part of the game.

Yeah. ='o

my latest game with sumai

You don't have permission to download attachments
wat

The pic doesn;t show anyways

Goku probably forgot to set member's privelidges....sec.

Wow i've lost 2 now, Some fag called T3RM1N4L was on my team and he kept leaving and rejoining like a fag so we basically had 4 people.

I took control of the mid (And at times fkers would come with me for no reason even though i told them to stay @top/bot) I was doing well, for some reason the other team had 2 @ mid but they sucked dick.

I've won games 3 v 5 before lol...

Bad Ashe build.

i think imma download this. hope it aint some shitty game.

Idk what build I should have... I just get random stuff, suppose I should look at an ashe guide

Spells - Teleport, Cleanse

Vampiric scepter starting item

Make sure your first shot hits enemy, then follow with a Volley. SHould instantly take half your enemy's HP off if they're squishy. Then just farm and harrass a little if they come to close.

lvl 6 ~ 1400 gold farmed. Recall to base.

Start building an infinity edge. Get Pickaxe and boots.

wait for enemy to get closer to turret. Send an ultimate in from base, wait for 2 seconds, then teleport back to your lane. Ulti should hit as you arrive. Spam autoattack + volley until dead. Make sure slow is on!

farm a bit more and lower turret HP when you can. Try save up for BF sword.

That's pretty much early game anyways.

SKill order priority: Ultimate > Volley > Slow > Hawk.

Get rank 1 in Hawkshot if you think you're likely to get ganked.

Item build: Infinity edge, Boots of Swiftness, Blood Thirster, Last WHisper, Phantom Dancer, Conditional

Conditional is situational item depending on what your enemies are. e.g. If they're heavily magic based or with a lot of stuns etc. get Banshees Veil, etc.

FK YEAH I WON MY FIRST GAME

I'm hoping that's because you followed my guide but I doubt it

Saw your post after I won but i'm sure it'll help me in my next games.

Song owns too.

Thats what I use now O.o'

Brutaliser
Berserker
Leviathan
Last whisper
Sword of the occult (wrong order who cares)
Infinity edge/Bloodthirster

It's harder to pull off at higher levels. They'll be expecting it and will move out of the centre of the lane if you recall, and/or not risk moving into turret range to attack it.

You could still pull it off, but would have to predict where they'll try and dodge, and do enough damage to make sure they die before they can retreat back to tower.

If you're struggling to kill your lane opponent, you can try ulting to top and bottom lane too. Ping where the arrow is heading and tell your team "ult inc top/bot" or something
(Ultimate incoming, top/bottom).

Leviathan is a no go on Ashe. The point is she sacrifices defense for maximum damage output (glass cannon).

If you're going Sword of Occult, that's the first item you should build.

I'd recommend against getting Sword of Occult in later levels. Ashe needs some great initial damage from items to start killing, and 1/3 stacks lost on death + you're a squishy champion.

Never get two stacking items together either (Leviathan and Sword of Occult in this case)

Brutaliser is OK, but should really build that into a Yuumu's Ghostblade or there's no point.
