PvP, Co-ops vs. Al & Custom:

PvP

At PvP you have multiple options, Summoner's Rift(5v5) or Twisted Treeline(3v3), about these Game Maps i will return later on.

Also you will see that you have Normal & Ranked Game Types.

The ranked games you cant play yet, you have to get level 30(max level) before you can start playing Ranked Matches.

For normal games you can play all the time, you will get [/b]Influence Points[/b] for winning and losing. I will get back on the Influence points later on.

On both of these options under PvP you will play Versus other LoL-Players.

Then you will get the last option, will you play Solo(alone) or Party(with friends),

if you play solo it will automaticly search an game for you, if you play Party, you have to invite atleast 1 friend to start a match with him.

 

 

Co-op vs. Al

At Co-ops vs. Al you play with your own team(real players) vs. Bots. You also will get Influence Points from this, but less because its versus bots, so its easier.

This can only be played in 5v5 Mode.

You also have to option between Beginner & Intermediate. Do not mind these two things, it doesn't make any sence.

 

 

Custom

Here you can create your own games, or join another games. This is completely off-charges of any gamestats.

Here you can play 5v5, 4v4, 3v3, 2v2, 1v1 with real players, or with bots.

Here you will get lower Influence points because its Costum, here you can train your skills for an champion and use them in PvP mode.

Here you can see your Level, How many EXP until next level, Ranked&Normal stats and which Champions you played the most.

 

Ranked Stats

Here you can see how many you won/lost/win ratio, and the Lifetime total stats & /Per game Avarages.

Also can you see here with what champions you played in ranked.

 

Match History

Here if will show your last 10 matches you played. It will show your k/d if you had Victory/Defeat.

And if you click on the match what you wanna see, you will see way more stats from that match!

 

Champions

This option is very very very usefull!

Here you can see every champion there is on League of Legends

The gray/black/white ones are the ones which you dont have yet.

The colored ones with a blue mark in the left top of the images are the ones who are free to play this week(this will change every week!)

The colored ones without an blue mark in the top of the images those are the ones who you can play all the time.

On the left side of your Client Screen you can see an Search option. Search for what ever you need / like to play, and click on that Champion Image.

A whole new screen opens, here will the champion be explained and you will get tips for how to play this champion, or how to play against this champion.

 

Runes

Here you see 2 Pages with alot of empty spaces. for this i will make a special subject later on.

 

Masteries

Your masteries are very usefull, and you will have to change them every time you play a match!!

For every level you get you can fill up 1 more Point. If you are lvl15 you can fill up 15 points, if you are lvl30(max) you can fill up 30 points.

Also here you see difirent images. Every image has an difirent meaning. Hold your mouse on the image, and it will exactly tell you what it is and what it needs to have to unlock it!

 

Spells

Also this is very usefull!, and you will also have to change these things every time you play a match!!

If you are level one, you dont have many choise yet. you will have a few spells. but everytime you level up you get new spells. Until level12, then you will have them all

For this is the same as on the Masteries, hold your mouse arrow on it and it will explain what it is, and what it does.

Influence Points & Riot Points:

For every match you play you will get Influence points. The 1st victory of the day[/b[ give something extra

for the rest its based on how long the game takes and if you win or lose the match.

 

For Riot points you will have to donate. For this go to the shop and press on the Purchase RP

With Riot points you can unlock Everything you want, and you dont need to wait for the Influence Points.

 

With Influence points & Riot Points you can buy many many things. For this you go to the shop.

 

In this shop you have many options and i will explain them all.

 

Home

Here you can see which champions/skins/packs are for special sale and how long it will last until they are over.

 

Champions

Here you can buy Champions, You will unlock them, and with this ability you can play them in any game you want!

 

Skins

Here you can buy Skins for your champion, this can only be purchased with Riot Points

 

Runes

Here you can buy runes. On runes i will come back later.

 

Bundles

Bundles are something special. This can only be purchased with Riot Points, and they cost alot.

Click once on the image, and it will show you what it will unlock.

 

Other

Here you can buy another Rune Page, but for this i will come back later

 

Codes

If you have a code from a collector's pack or a promo code, you can enter it here. The items from the code will be instantly credited to your account.

 

 

Runes:

Finaly we got to this point. Sorry that it took some time until we got here. but finaly were here.

Runes are something special. Very usefull and seriously needed when you play ranked!

 

When you start with LoL you will have 2 runepages in your profile like i explained earlier. When you get level30 you will automaticly get a 3th RunePage.

Personaly i never bought any runes until i got lvl20.

 

From level 20 you can buy Tier3 Runes. These are the best. So i realy suggest you to safe all your Influence points, and wait until you are level20

Then buy the runes what is good for your champion. For Mages buy Magical Runes, and for Fighters buy Fighter Runes.

There are many runes, so think about what you wanna buy or what you dont wanna buy.

 

Every level you get up, the more runes you can add. but as i suggested before, wait until you are lvl 20 to buy Tier3 Runes.

 

You can buy these runes at the shop

 

You have 4 difirent Runes: Marks(red), Glyphs(blue), Seals(yellow) & Quintessences(purple).

Marks are the cheapest, and Quintessences are the most expensive runes you can buy.

But how expensiver you look, how better the runes get.

So its usefull to compensate with those Types of Runes.

 

You also have at every Type of Rune an special effect.

These effects are: Abilities, Defense, Health, Mana, Physical Attack & Utility.

I cant say clearly enough to be carefull what you buy. because to make a full rune page, cost ''alot'' of influence points.

 

So if you bought the runes in the shop you can go to your Profile to add them in the rune page.

Click on Profile -> Runes and click every rune you bought and they will get automaticly in your Rune Page.

Before you leave your profile, think of saving your runepage! otherwise it wont stay.

 

 

Maps:

At League of Legends you have 2 difirent maps.

At both maps its the goal to defeat the other teams Turrets & Inhibiators to get the their main base and destroy that one also.

 

Summoner's Rift

Summoners rift is an 5v5 based Map Type.

Here you have an Top lane, Bot Lane and Mid Lane

Most of the time top lane have 2players, bot lane have 2players and mid lane have 1

in Summoner's Rift you have to destroy 3 turrets until you will can destroy 1 Inhibiator.

if you destroyed an inhibiator you will spawn super minions.

If you killed an inhibiator, you can go and try to destroy the last 2 turrets left before you can destroy their main base.

If you destroyed their main base, the game end.

Als in Summoner's rift you have a very good Jungling route, you will pass special monsters which give you special buffs.

These buffs are very usefull in battle, and especialy in late games you will see alot of people walking with them.

A guy who's going to the jungle for these buffs, we call a Jungler.

For Jungler guidse go to youtube.com and type: League of Legends Jungling (Champions Name) and you will find all you need.

I also inform you that before you have lvl20 tier3 runes & masteries & summonerspells, its hard to jungle!

 

Twisted Tree Line

Twisted Tree line is an 3v3 based Map Type.

Here you have only an Top lane and an Bot lane.

Most of the time top lane have 1player and bot lane have 2 players.

Here you only have to destroy 2 turrest until you will get to the Inhibiator to spawn super minions.

If you destroyed their inhibiator, you can go for their last turret that protects their main base.

If you destroyed their main base, the game end.

 

 

Summoner's Code

To be a worthfull League of Legends player you have to accept the Summoner's Code.

This code is about:

• Support your team
  
• Drive Constructive Feedback
