League of Legends Basics

Study Notes

League of Legends is a game about progressing your Champion's power through items and levels to win fights and objectives.
Summoner's Rift is the main map where games are played, with three lanes and a jungle filled with monsters.
The goal of the game is to earn gold, buy items, and take objectives like Baron Nashor or dragons to win.
The three main lanes are mid, top, and bot, each with specific characteristics and types of Champions that excel in them.
Mid lane is popular for Mages and Assassins due to its central location and proximity to other parts of the map.
Top lane is for self-sufficient Champions like fighters or tanks who brawl one-on-one with opponents.
Bot lane consists of a Marksman and a support working together to win the lane 2v2.
The jungle role is versatile and involves farming monsters, helping lanes, and securing objectives with Smite.
Beginners can easily start jungling by taking Smite, following a jungle route, and ganking lanes for kills.
Trading in League involves gaining advantages over opponents in lane through minion aggro, level advantages, and strategic fights.
Understanding minion waves, level spikes, and the value of levels are key concepts to master for successful trading in League of Legends.- Ultimate abilities in League of Legends are powerful but can only be unlocked at level 6.
Gaining a level advantage over the opponent (reaching level 6 before them) is crucial for winning fights.
Vision control is essential in the game, achieved through trinket wards and control wards.
Support players can acquire more stealth wards through their item.
Denying vision to opponents can be game-winning.
Trinkets can be swapped for a sweeper or farsight trinket for different vision control benefits.
Gold in the game is crucial for buying items to make champions stronger and eventually win the game.
Four main methods to earn gold: lane minions, jungle monsters, kills, and towers.
Focusing on farming minions is advised over chasing kills for consistent gold income.
Support role players passively generate gold through support items.
Champion itemization depends on whether they deal physical or magic damage, indicated by spell scalings.
The shop's "recommend" tab provides common item builds for champions.
Avoid copying item builds from random YouTube videos to prevent ineffective builds.
Simple champion recommendations for each role: Annie and Lux for mid, Cho'Gath and Jax for top, Ashe and Miss Fortune for ADC, Leona and Janna for support, Xin Zhao and Amumu for jungle.
Practice tool in the client helps in understanding champions' abilities, combos, and passive effects.
Learning champions first before diving into strategy helps in faster improvement.
Objective in the game is to destroy the enemy Nexus by taking down towers progressively.
Turrets are defensive structures dealing damage to enemies and require minion presence to attack champions.
Inhibitors spawn super minions when destroyed, aiding in pushing lanes.
Other game objectives include Rift Herald, Baron Nasher, Elemental Dragons, and Elder Dragon, each providing buffs to the team.
Communication and terminology such as gank, roam, CS, freezing, resetting, are crucial in playing effectively.
Setting adjustments in the game like quickcast, showing spell costs, neutral camps, and enabling champion names above health bars are recommended for better gameplay.
