  Also, I'm slowly typing up a League of Legends guide...
  
  For a taste of it... ;D
  
  

  [SIZE="4"]I. Understanding Champions[/SIZE]
  Champions come in many different shapes and sizes with different skillsets and different scaling. You'll find that Miss Fortune is a lot different from Ashe and Tristana even though they share the same sub-group as "ranged carry" which we'll get into more later.
  
  The easiest way to learn champions is to play them. Due to Riot's Free Week Champion rotation, you get a chance to play all of them eventually. Champions have many different skills, so you need to learn what they do, like Evelynn's ultmiate, how to counter them, like Mundo's ultimate, and how to notice things like Annie's stun graphic.
  
  Noticing these things is as easy as going into a practice game and using skills on the creeps(minions), just pay attention to what changes/happens during the use of the skill, sounds are also very important, for example, Annie's Molten Shield makes her stun hard to see, but the sound is very obvious.
  
  You're probably going, "but practice teaches me nothing" well, that's true in a sense, but if you have a hard time paying attention in a live game, this is the best way to learn your limits as your champion.
  
  So remember that getting a taste of all the champions will improve your overall gameplay. Why? Because you'll know your enemies limits, and you'll know your own.

  What... it seems to be that everyone has there champion, while I can't decide which to play...
  
  I'm OMGWTF godly at a few, which I only play a couple times a month(Janna/Cho/Cait/Vlad), but champions who're UP(Underplayed) I'm also great at(Urgot, Alister, Swain ect.).
  
  The only champion I'll say I 100% am bad at is... Eve. :|

  Are Tier 1 and 2 runes worth getting?
  
  Or should I save my IP for Tier 3 runes?

  What what I read t1 is useful. And skip t2 to save up money.

  I'd suggest save up for tier 3 runes. And the first things to buy are scaling mp per 5 runes. They are useful on pretty much every champion that uses mana.

  I'd say flat HP quints are the most useful. Also the most expensive, but they're easily worth the IP.

  I don't use my HP quints anymore. Movespeed/Magic Pen/Armor Pen is so much more useful.
  I would say that you need them in squishies with low range, though. Especially Teemo. Otherwise you're a free kill earlygame.

  Anybody else enjoy ks? Got 8 kills and all were ks.

  One kill and an assist is better than just one kill.

  I guess you could say there is no kill-stealing in the game since it is team-oriented. So you miss out on a little gold. Well, that can be fueled for the other champion's item builds and needs so they can have the potential to carry you through the game(unless they were a tanky or a support, but even then they can't usually kill steal at all. X3)

  But in my opinion sending Ashe's Enchanted Crystal Arrow from across the field and get a kill is a kill steal.

  If it's the only person that is in the fight and Ashe intentionally tried to get the kill, then yes.

  I wondered how a game would go if You let the minions take over and its a 2vs2 and instead of killing each other the minions will attack the turrets and etc but the players kill the mobs inside the place. sounds fun to me but I need 3 other players to do that D:. And plus I need people who won't jack up the game.

  I think a Custom Game would suit your intrests.
