League only requires a small number of keys to play with. Namely, three groupings! First off, your mouse with left and right click. Left click is used to select items or targets or drag your inventory around. However, right click is used to attack and move. Then there’s the primary ability keys: Q, W, E, and R. You’ll press those to cast your spells or abilities in game. Also, you have two special summoner spells on D and F. Lastly, the numbers 1-7 correspond to the inventory your champion has in game. If you’ve got something that can be consumed, like a potion, or an item with a special active, press that button to chug that potion or use that active!
A coordinated team is extremely difficult to take down. No matter how hard you feel like you’re carrying individually, blaming others and refusing to co-operate with teammates gives your opponent an advantage.
We’ve all had tough games where we fell behind, got camped super hard or missed an easy smite, only to get flamed in chat. Avoid making others feel that same way and report the ones who do.
You win some, you lose some. Meanwhile, why not send a friend invite to anybody you particularly enjoyed having on your team? Taking allies into battle will help you win more games and make even the losses more enjoyable.
Seeking revenge on your own team by intentionally feeding and helping the opposing team does not promote fair play. Keep a cool head if you fall behind, don't give up and always do your best.
Never forget the excitement you felt when you first set foot on the Rift. Don't mock newbies who are still learning the ropes or urge them to give up on League. Instead offer a hand when they stumble.
