There was a time wards weren't put automatically in your inventory after leaving base, and I refused to buy them because they were taking inventory space, even though they were free.
I never used them anyway so why buy them in the first place? Until I started playing kata, I always bought wards from then on because I needed them for ward jumps xD
Some of the most frustrating things for me: 1) Not understanding how roots/skillshots worked and having Morgana and Brand be my most banned champions. Thought they were crazy OP but no, I just couldn’t dodge 2) Only building basic components for items or not even buying items. I remember being about 10 games into League and I was only building ruby crystals on Ashe. 3) Having no clue what I was doing when jungling, or knowing what a “gank” was 4) Being pissed at how OP Veigar’s cage is
I used to think ability power increased every champ's damage from abilities and AD only increased auto attack damage. Took me ages to realise that there were ad and ap (and health) scalings. Dont think it helped I only played with mages at the start
@@insecureperson2349 The game has gotten so much more complicates since then, probably (o started in s10). The worst bit was that two of my friends i started with said that it was stupid i thought that.. Its called ability power so why wouldnt it increase damage on your abilities...
I remember playing Darius as a beginner. The enemy team had a fed Veigar with a deathcap so I built deathcap too, hoping to do the same amount of damage as him
Man I would refuse to take any runes other than the preset "Resolve: The Colossus" for the longest time because a) I had no idea how to change runes at the time and just thought you could only choose out of those four (yes I don't remember Inspiration being a thing back then) b) Grasp of the Undying apparently dealt damage, healed me, and increased my max HP. That sounded OP to me so just went with it lol
Same lmao I refused to play any champion without taking grasp and demolish on them because I thought they were OP even when I started making my own runes
When I started playing League back in 2012 I couldn't wrap my head around resource management. All spells spammed untill my mana run dry. So I basically built Tear on every champ with mana. Then I learned about champs with no mana and oh boy was I excited
Similar to the Jhin R requiring recasts, I experienced the same issue when first playing Xerath - I also thought in his R you have to use the mouse to cast the meteorites. Great video, very relatable.
@@nidohogg4783 it happened to me as well. I didn't know that it had such a range, so I ulted just for the extra damage in 1v1s. I died many times during the cast time tho XD
I always thought that turrets where the strongest thing so i was super scared of turrets and never wanted to get hit by the turret because I thought i would instantly die 😂
Then there was some people who didnt respect the turret enough or just were to blind to see them. Dying to them like every time they came back from spawn. Wondering who the hell is killing them so fast.
The Jhin one is too true. I tried using ult 3 times in my first Jhin match and messed it up every time. First time I thought I had to rightclick enemies and it just cancelled my ult, second time I tried left clicking, third time I thought maybe he just shoots automatically so I sat there doing nothing. It took me going into a custom match to figure out how to actually shoot it.
I remember my very first game as Ahri, I went 0/14/1. I refused to go into more bot games than I had to because I didn't think I'd improve against them. I used to think Nami was the most overpowered character in the whole game because they would beat my ass. Good times.
That one was bad for me too. But me trying to ult with Kalista for the first time was something completely different 🤣😵🙆🏼♀️ i wondered why other Kalistas always had bond with their supports and i didn't 🤣 i thought it was automatic. Idk why was i even picking her up back then ngl, but i thought her jumping was op even without the ult ?😂 The only worse experience than that was me getting sucked by my Kalista's r for the first time. I was just sitting there in the spooky underworld reality having no damn clue what the f was going on untill it would poop me out and i was like ... Okay ... This game is weird as fk... 🤣😂 I'm so glad i came upon this video since I'm dying here remembering good old days 😂😂🤣
I actually didn't do many of these in the video but: - I took Kindred adc because I love Kindred but loathe jungle - I didn't realize you could only see a ward get placed in a bush if you already had vision inside that bush - I only used preset rune pages - I never let team comp affect my champ or build decisions
I used to build crit on every champ that auto attacked, with a warmogs at the end for tankiness. Didn't matter if i was ranged or not, Surprisingly worked a lot.
One thing that I know many people are confused about as beginners is why supports aren't supposed to kill the minions and how the support items actually work. Beginners will pick an AP support like Lux and go try to farm it up.
Bro for number 5 I was the opposite. I just searched whatever I needed (like attack damage) and only bought components that had this stat. I didn't understand why you would need full items. When I had mana issues I would just buy ap items for every champion. I remember going Kayn top with rod of ages. Ah...Good times.
Me, who still plays on a locked screen. . . *sweating profusely*. But for real though, playing without it gives me a headache and I lose track of everything and where I'm at. It's not like I'm ever going pro or anything anyway.
When I first started playing I would never look/ take into account a champions passive, cause I didn’t see it as too important. This created a lot of issues when I tried to play champs like talon
The moment I learnt the cheap items could be upgraded into the expensive ones was a revelation. From then on, I built my Ashe with Runaan, Statik Shiv, Zephyr and about any other item that gave attack speed. Only because I thought it looked cool when I attacked the minions fast. Also, I always bought mobility boots with homeguard because it was funny running fast and the little visual effect was cool.
I did take smite and heal on a Darius and faced a lvl 200 mord. And I wanted only play Champs that looked cool so I naturally went from Darius to WW and then to Morde.
I’m so thankful my bf taught me how to play when I was first starting out, we have completely different play styles now but starting out it was super helpful to have someone who knows about the game and has been there since it first came out
I remember never changing my summoner spells from the default heal and flash. It was always funny whenever my other lane opponent would rage and type "why do you have heal" when I survive with a sliver of health because of my heal spell.
I always used ghost to get back to lane faster and when my friend told me to take flash instead I was like: “But that’s so bad it barely helps you get back to lane” Before playing Jhin for the first time I thought his r bullets were shot out through AI and it wasn’t the player controlling it I was also oblivious to the concept of components, and thought you had to buy the full item and the components were other cheap items you could buy if you wanted
I don't really remember any "dumb stuff" I did. The only thing came into mind is that I refused to buy runes (back in the day you had to buy runes for IP, or now known as blue essence) because I wanted to save IP for buying champions.
Similar to the Jhin one, my friend used to think TF ult was just there for global vision and never used the tp part. The one thing I remember doing is stocking up on potions, preferably having 5 at all times. Guess I thought the effects would stack, and 50g for some health seemed worth it. Also, wards. I used to think warding was a waste of time, even as support, since they would just disappear after a few minutes.
I did the same but with opposite results with noc ult. When I first countered him (weekly rotation) I was like: I can blind people and walk to them without them being able to see me! I had no clue there was an active that lets you insta jump on them. I actually reached mastery 4 or so on him without using my ult correctly XD I also played master yi on every role and spammed Q off cooldown (even on minions). All other champs seemed pretty useless as they didn't have that W healing, so when I trying someone else (don't remember whom) I was low hp and waited to die so I can come back to life with more health (reacall is a thing?). Also, his ult was the "I am speed" button. I had no clue what stats were back then. I thought AD is auto attacks and AP for abilities (ability power you know) and armor is something like a shield or something. Needless to say that I didn't know jungle was an actual role. A friend of mine told me that I should not hit the monsters and generally whatever is inside the jungle, since i may get killed by them, so I tried to keep my distance off these creepy and harmful creatures. Also, I had that normal cast on so I had to double press a button to do something and itemization was buying the better looking item from the recommended ones. Fun times not gonna lie...
@@kostas0802 lol interesting story to hear And how did you do against your enemy, or did the enemy team do similar things? xD Also did a lot of people back then flame you or how was the chat back then?
@@wladynoszhighlights5989 at that time I was playing normal blind pick, where you can find many beginners so both enemies and allies sometimes did as silly things as I did. As for the nocturne part specifically I had many successful ganks even if I used half of my ult, since enemies didn't really respect my potential presence on their lane (maybe bc they thought I was too bad for not using my ult correctly to kill them). The fun part was that I got a quadra with noc while still not knowing about the ult recast XD Tbh, the first month or so I didn't know there was chat in the game because for some reason it was disabled by default, so I may have been flamed very hard back then but I will never find out and tbh I don't really wanna know. Sometimes when I played with friends they told me that the enemies bm me in all-chat but as I said... no chat I still remember such moments of my beginner steps in league and laugh at myself, but ig it's normal. What about you? Did you have any similar experience?
i was refusing to buy refillable potions because i was thinking "Why whould i buy a pot that i can only use twice per recall when i can just get 5 normal ones and i can regen more health with them"
I used to buy Static Shiv on Kennen because it was electric based... I also used to farm minions instead of following up for a kill... Still don't use wards lol
1. I had no idea how to use runes, so for the longest I had the pre-set runes equipped. 2. I would run through the jungle to avoid the first 2 turrents to attack the last one so we can get in base earlier. This obviously didn't work so well most of the time.
My mate introduced me to the game but forgot to say that you only get gold from minions if you last hit them. So I used to think I was doing well in lane with 3 Cs by 15 mins
Am I the only one who thought this? I came to LoL as an Overwatch player, saw the support role, and thought I needed to help EVERYONE, not just my adc. I also played every new champion on mid lane because it felt like the most important role as a beginner.
Some of these were actually niche or cheese strategies Teleporting to lane would allow you to invade or hide in a bush with the assurance the enemy team wasn't aware Smite in lane was used either to gain access to jungle items or in hyper-push lanes/comps Igniting immediately was occasionally done because an old (now removed) mastery granted a small stat boost while it was on cooldown While not buying anything to start was always dumb, skipping the starting items for basic components (to get a head start on big items and for more health pots) was a niche strategy for basically ever Selling boots is often done late-game to get extra direct combat power ... 6 boots is the optimal build for Dr. Mundo because it helps him go where he pleases
2:52 I'd like to give a special shoutout to the onegirl this guy played with that did this and unintentionally solidified league players view of girl = noob im good with a joke but damn I cant even say I play without people being like awwww did your boyfriend teach your or I bet you play support right or automatically assuming I'm a noob. also im a lesbian but besides the point
Even worse if you are a female who actually enjoys support. I’m a support main but I play Thresh and Swain, not the Enchanter class. Only enchanter I play is Renata. It kind of insulting when people I’m a Lux, Yuumi, Nami, Lulu, Sona or Seraphine main.
I used to take exaust every game thinking that it deals damage. I also avoided playing champions with abilities that didnt do something imediatly. For example, I wouldn't play Garen because his Q doesn't do anything when I press it, I need to hit someone after pressing the button. Same thing whit Jax's W, Shyvana Q's and others. To me, it was really hard to understand this concept of "your next attack will deal more damage" and stuff like that. I remember thinkng Garen was garbage cuz two of his abilities didn't do anything (Q and W). Good old times.
4:20 One time my dad (yes I started league with my dad) played xerath and we did not know how to shoot his ult and thought its just a thing for vision, after the 5th cast doing nothing someone in chat told us we need to press R to shoot!
As a new player, I find this video very entertaining and even comforting. My dumbest thing I've ever done so far was using Flash with like 1HP and I was also inflicted with dot so I was gonna die anyways. Wasted a flash for no reason!
I’m playing for almost 2 years and yeah I still level up my abilities via mouse, it’s way easier for me lol Also I used to take tp as Sona supp just to come back to lane faster, and also, as a sup, I never bought any sup starting items, instead I used to buy boots bc if you’re faster no one will catch you & kill you lol
Same i also level up my abilities with my mouse, sometimes when I'm in a fight & i level up i have to kill my enemy or die or get out of combat to manually click the ability button to level my ability up when i can just level up the ability mid fight. It's our signatures ig!!
Imma supp main, and I used to take heal with any champ I played, no matter what. Even if my adc told me “take ignite or barrier,” I’d go heal. Took me quite a while to break that habit.
When you started the game you knew very few things about champions. I had a blitzcrank tell me that he couldn't play because his passive was on cool down and that he had to stay still to get it back. And although I thought it was odd, I just accepted it. I still remember this and hate this person, it's been 7 years since then
I recently introduced some of my friends to league so here are some more things: Trying to move with wasd and accidentally wasting flash. The cycle of ignoring turrets and diving level 2, getting absolutely obliterated and then never going near a turret again, even when there are minions nearby. Maxing whatever ability looked the strongest visually. I remember maxing e once when I was playing mf and my brother walked in. He asked me if I was maxing it for the slow or the waveclear. I was like bro it makes bullets rain from the sky it's obviously the strongest ability duh. Not understanding normal and magic damage and looking for a pattern. I always thought Katarina has to deal normal damage since she throws knifes. Bonus: one of my friends played a lot of fortnite at the time and I told him to push and recall. He instantly ignored the minions, went in to fight and died. He then explained to me that in fortnite pushing means aggressively attacking.
DUDE That first one woke a memory for me. I played league for the first time in a long time during my overwatch stage and once we loaded in, I pressed D as if movement was WASD and accidentally wasted my flash. So funny.
I used to waste my flash so many times, especially when I have just closed CSGO, so I just bound my Summoner Spells to mouse bumpers (mouse keys under a thumb). And the thing is - it's actually more comfortable
I played Zed for a while and won some normal games with him... And yet, it took some time before someone pointed out that you can swap places with your W... That was a mindbreaker.
In 2018 I decided to try league of legends for the first time and I didn’t know what champion rotations were (free trials every week) so I played a lot of veigar and after that week was over I could not play him again and since I didn’t know how the game worked or anything at that I quit because I didn’t want to learn everything from the beginning. In 2020 some of my friends started to play the game and now we’re all hating this game together I also left a game and got a penalty which lasted 20m for the next 5 games so that was a reason also quit
Bro I remember playing Lee sin and not knowing his abilities had a second activation, I was like wait how do I get him to do all the cool shit like dash across the screen and all that 🤣
Bruh literally me, and i used to freak out because i hit someone with his q, because it was really hard back then, but didn’t know how to recast.
2 ปีที่แล้ว
I remember that once upon a time you right clicked multiple times, because it would give you the animation for autoattack, but there was no damage. I also remember using only ghost because "flash was hard to aim" and the distance wasn't 'that good'"
The thing that really confused me when I started playing league was the runes system. I knew what a moba was and what the goal of the game was (pick a champion, destroy turrets and then destroy the base) but what I had no idea about was the runes. When I unlocked them I was sooo confused. At first I didn't pay attention to them. However, when I also unlocked the ability too customise them myself I just started doing a bunch of random stuff. I just picked things I thought sounded cool or strong without thinking about how they would fit the champion. For example I used to play Yone top with domination as primary (dark harvest, taste of blood, eye ball collection and ultimate hunter) and precision secondary (overheal and legend bloodline). I also created a rune with sorcery in primary (arcane comet, manaflow band, absolute focus and gathering storm) and resolve in the secondary (demolish and overgrowth) and just called it "the mage rune". Thats right, I picked the same rune for every champion that I knew used magic. Tho the only mage champion I played consistently was, you won't believe it, Ryze. Obviously it didn't go so well. Another funny thing, which is also why I refused to play this game for years, is that I thought that mobas barely required any skill. I thought that since you could only move horizontally (without the ability to jump, climb, fly etc) it would be super easy to land all attacks and therefore champions with the most health would always win since they would just outrank everyone else. I also thought that the most long ranged champions would always outclass the short ranged ones mainly through kiting (yes I had the concept of kiting in my head before I even started playing league tho I didn't know how to call it). Turned out I was extremely wrong lol.
Haha, the kiting Problem was my problem too. To this time I must decide between Ashe or Garden to unlock the Champion as free. I say to me what if I don't do the max range attack or I'm to near the enemy, so I decided to play never range champs. I've never played a moba or know the concept of kiting.
I still play with locked screen, I just can't bring myself to unlock the camera, idk why, but every time I unlock the camera my iq goes down by like 40 points
I played duo top with my friend at the start. I also played Vel'koz(he looks cool and yes, I still main him) with Grasp, damage, heal and PERMANENT HP INCREASE. That's just too op for a champ like Vel who lacks survivability Also I still believe that you can play every champ on every role and with some weird bulids, just maybe not in ranked
I am actually not guilty of anything mentioned. I always used to watch my brothers play six years ago and basically knew everything a beginner would need. Boy that was a way easier start :D
When I was newbie, I thought buying item with mana stats gave damage. That is because the other rpg I played had mana as damage source. Also I thought it was ok to leave the game in the middle of a match (which I did cuz I was called for dinner). I didnt realize that it was such a big deal that I left my team at that time. Relating to this vid, I was guilty of using smite in lane to kill minions faster...
I actually did believe the most expensive items meant they were the best. I got into League because of Ahri, so I built things like Trinity Force (this was during Season 4 when the Sion Rework was a new thing), DFG, and Rabadon's. I didn't start learning about active items until later and took me even longer before I could use them while in combat. Sadly, just as I was starting to get the hang of it, DFG was removed. And when Nocturne ulted, I would hide in the nearest bush, since I didn't know how his Ult worked. I also thought you could have two people in top lane, since that's what Training and Vs AI taught us. And this wasn't really a dumb thing, but pretty reckless. As Warwick, I would get a Hunter's Machete and 2 Health Pots, sit in base until I could buy a third, and make a beeline to the Dragon Pit (this was back when the Dragon only gave gold) and would solo it. Being that it was old Warwick, who healed on every auto-attack, and his Q had good healing, this was a non-issue. If the enemy jungler came (like to gank bot and they happened to see me), then I was in trouble.
In the beggining I picked up Zed and his abilities were simple at least for me but then when I tried Olaf and Vayne I wondered what is this passive and what does attack speed scaling with missing H.P mean, what is true damage and how am I getting three circles on my enemy . I also wondered why I would get blotched out after killing someone with duskblade . I didn't know how to chat for the first month of playing league I finally decided to google it turns out I just had to press Enter .
I feel you, man. Had the same reaction first time playing Vayne. I didn't know how to activate W (didn't understand that passive abilities are... passive xD) and was so focused on that i didn't even notice i was shooting silver bolts and the 3 circles. Same with Teemo E. Needless to say adc was my least favorite role. I only liked Kog'Maw 'cause he's so cute xD.
happened to me a lot after playing league 2 years, great times i still sometimes do that after 5 years... havent done much progress and im hard stuck silver player so what do you except *insert clown emoji here*
I was helping a friend of mine with his build in top lane (his Wukong vs a Garen) and I recommended Death's Dance for that matchup because he asked for an item that gave him "physical power and protections" (he played SMITE as his go-to MOBA). He ended up doing really well that game and always bought that item after boots and mythic regardless of the matchup. It was hilarious when he was raging at a Mord stomping him in lane because he decided Death's Dance was just a "buy me and win item" after one good game where it made sense to build
My friends still won't let me forget that my first main was Rammus support with cloth armor and 5 health pots. It just made sense and supp items were a foreign concept
Definitely felt the flash one, coming from Dota i was expecting the flash to act like blink dagger where u could teleport a large range w low cd... And boy was i wrong
I remember 2 things when I started playing league 1. play teemo and ekko with crit items (1 crit item gave 25% so only 4 were needed) 2. When I played jg as warwick I used to build vampiric scepter first item so I would get lifesteal on everyone not just jungle camps
I actually try and playoff - meta junglers a lot. In the moment i really like Xayah, Tryndamere and Rezeption jungle. These Champs have so different play styles compared to their normal role or other junglers, its just great fun.
I started playing back in season 2. I remember quite vividly i thought Flash was a bad summoner xD i was playing support as my first role and i thought that having heal and exhaust would be more helpful for my adc lol. Watching a stream made me realize i was sooo wrong. Also yeah, took me so long to smartcast as well. I also liked the arrow indicators lol. I still level up my abilities with my mouse, but i'm a dirty casual ARAM player now. PS: runes back in the day were soooo confusing, i don't blame anyone for running obscure stuff at the time
On my first day in 2013 I picked fiddlesticks bc he looked the coolest. I ran around the map aimlessly and I would REFUSE to use any other spells than W because I was overwhelmed by too many different abilities that I had to press and I didn't understand what benefit his old Q, the fear had because "it deals no damage" lol. I also only ulted the minions :)
I remember when I first started League I thought I had to save up points to put into my abilities in order to upgrade my R. So for example I thought that upgrading your R took multiple levels of skill points.
As someone who played the DOTA mod years ago, then coming in new to LoL this year, most of the time i said "oooh, that's convenient" , "huh, that is so much more simple" or "so you can't do that(minion denying for example)". I didn't have a hard time adjusting again even after years(surprisingly still have my mechanics) but the real struggle i had was with the fact that i don't have single clue on what the champions do (still dont know like more than half). The only time I really do bad, to the point that i sometimes feed is when I'm against champs I don't really know. Anyway, I have been really enjoying the game and will continue playing and learning.
I actually thought back in the days i only could buy items that where in the recommended itemshop for your champ. And i always bragged to my best friend who brought me into the game that i could buy mobis and could be faster in lane than him.
I remember thinking any champ could be in any lane. I also thought starter items were dumb, because why need something that doesn't build big items. Also I thought tank Vladimir was smart
Well I mean any champ has at least1 lane that can work for them, and the main role that some champs can’t do is jungle, like yuumi can do anything somewhat except for jungle.
Hurricane used to be buildable on melee champions, It also had the highest atk-spd scaling too. So I would built 2 of them on old Warwick back in the day.
tip 20 is actually something I've never thought about in my 8 years playing league. its feels like you've awoken something in me. imagine if they implemented this in the game in some rotating mode that'd be fun to try out.
When me and my friend first started playing, we were really surprised when Mordekaiser ulted one of us. We used to shout like "bro wtf, he took me to a different place. What do I do now?". It was soo cool that my friend started to main Morde lol.
For the first one Id argue that ppl were too deadset on champions being played in only certain roles, like beginners who read the rules would think “I can only play Aatrox in top lane, and not mid” cuz he wasnt recommended in midlane. I remember for the longest time I didnt like junglers cuz I didnt like to jungle, until I tried them in ARAM and realized a lot of junglers like J4, Lee sin, Gragas, etc had some of the most fun playstyles for me and I didnt want to pick up jg so i started playing them in top, mid, and sometimes support. Obviously I wouldnt take someone like Amumu adc but just cuz its recommended that a champ b played in a certain role in champ select, it doesnt mean that’s their only role. Mao Kai and Swain both started off as solo laners but now they’re recommended only as supports
Here are mine from when I started playing: 1. Using autoattack and not using quick cast. 2. I had never played support, but got autofilled into it, so I attacked the minions. My adc wasn't happy about it, but I just didn't know back then. 3. Attacking the dragon without my jungler there. 4. Not buying wards and never looking at the map.
Before I started playing League in 2013, I'd watch my brother play. Whenever he left the computer I'd look through the champions and for the longest time I thought champs were like a species/race, sort of like Pokemon, instead of them actually being individual characters so I'd be like "I want to play an Ashe" "Zyras look pretty cool" "What kind abilities do Yoricks have?" "You main Nocturnes?"
6:03 on Old fiddlesticks I remember thinking that Fiddle's ult has a long range only to be hit with reality that it wasn't and I thought katarina was pure assassin ad
Had a friend who started in 2021 in the jg and repeatedly told us "never clear crugs first clear, they're too slow" and would never clear crugs on any champ. He's diamond now and we still rip on him for it.
When I first started playing, a friend told me and my brothers to build damage on ranged champions because "you dont go in so you dont need hp" so we used to build 6 bf swords on every ranged champion and later upgrade them to bloodthirsters xD
I didn't understand that you had to destroy lane objectives in order so I was like "well if the point is to destroy the nexus, I'll just do that." I then built 4 warmogs on Annie (bc more life means less death, obviously) and just ran past all the turrets and tried to smack the nexus. Season 2 me.
First time I played Pyke I didn't know I could hold down the key to hook people. I thought you just stab everything. I learned that you could in that game, after the game was half over
When i started i was always buying a full stack of 5 Potions whenever i was in base. You know healing always sounds good, even at level 18 and 40 minutes into a game
I once was in a game with a full life steal xin zhao and I was amazed by how quickly he was regenerating health. I didn’t know about life steal back then and I supposed it some special ability that champ had. I spend the next week grinding games so I could buy Xin and I was massively disappointed when mine barely regenerated any health.
My friend didn't know you could zoom out so when he first started playing he would always play with the camera zoomed in on his champ and it wasn't until we watched him play over discord that we called him out on it. He surprisingly got better after lol
recasting abilities are pain ! :D when i first started playing one of my mains was akali and i thought that she had only one e and i was playing like this for a good amount of time until enemy picked her. and oh boy she was FLYING
I've not done a lot of these, but I may have worse ones 1. I still use lock screen even in platinum 2. I used to use a track pad as I couldn't find a mouse, I did this so much I got used to it,, it wasn't until I played at a friends house they questioned me 3. I felt the NEED to play off meta, like Elise support 4. I wanted to play EVERY role and EVERY champ 5. This is 100% just me, but I used to ask my enemy jungler in all chat where they started so I could learn where to start 6. When I started I mained Yi, then lost to a xin, played xin, lost to an olaf, played olaf... so on so forth 7. 1% crit rune 8. If it has CC, It can support! (Sorry teammates back then) 9. ALWAYS buy mobis. Every game so I don't waste time not being in lane 10. NEVER go back, you can always back with MORE gold when you're forced to
When I started playing, I was very used to games where dashes were something that you could just spam to quickly move around, which is what I did with flash Took me a bit to get out of that habit
Finally! Thank you.
These are like problems from peaple that start playing not long ago , like where are the pesple that didnt knew what upgrade boots did

Some of the most frustrating things for me:
1) Not understanding how roots/skillshots worked and having Morgana and Brand be my most banned champions. Thought they were crazy OP but no, I just couldn’t dodge
2) Only building basic components for items or not even buying items. I remember being about 10 games into League and I was only building ruby crystals on Ashe.
3) Having no clue what I was doing when jungling, or knowing what a “gank” was
4) Being pissed at how OP Veigar’s cage is
Mhh I remember my Cait with 6 Giants belts... good times
@@Helen99438 LMFAO SO TRUE
I'm still pissed at Veigar's cage
@@Helen99438 i builded lulu with bf swords only and Lux bot was my worst enemy (on the easiest difficulty tho)
i remember going warmongs on viegar cause i thought having 3k hp made me op
I used to think ability power increased every champ's damage from abilities and AD only increased auto attack damage. Took me ages to realise that there were ad and ap (and health) scalings.
Dont think it helped I only played with mages at the start
that's how league worked in the first seasons if it's a spell AP if it's an auto attack AD like Kassadin was built AD you know that right?
@@insecureperson2349 The game has gotten so much more complicates since then, probably (o started in s10).
The worst bit was that two of my friends i started with said that it was stupid i thought that.. Its called ability power so why wouldnt it increase damage on your abilities...
yup me too. I pretty much assumed ad items were worthless
i built litelary AP Master yi to oneshot ppl with Q XD
Is it.. Not like that??? 💀
I remember playing Darius as a beginner. The enemy team had a fed Veigar with a deathcap so I built deathcap too, hoping to do the same amount of damage as him
😭😂
Giga brain
naah XD
Man I would refuse to take any runes other than the preset "Resolve: The Colossus" for the longest time because
a) I had no idea how to change runes at the time and just thought you could only choose out of those four (yes I don't remember Inspiration being a thing back then)
b) Grasp of the Undying apparently dealt damage, healed me, and increased my max HP. That sounded OP to me so just went with it lol
Same lmao I refused to play any champion without taking grasp and demolish on them because I thought they were OP even when I started making my own runes
Considering that they had to nerd grasp like 100 times over, you weren't too wrong
I did the same thing with arcane comet but at least I only played mages so it was still somewhat useful
@IHateSociety I didn't play at that time, but I know they were confusing since everyone says that
Old Runes were wild. But so fukin expensive, even the pages were so expensive
When I started playing League back in 2012 I couldn't wrap my head around resource management. All spells spammed untill my mana run dry. So I basically built Tear on every champ with mana. Then I learned about champs with no mana and oh boy was I excited
I was always like "they dont have mana? Thats so OP" and didnt want to play mana champs since
I was playing energy based champions at the begining and boy, oh boy, was I disapointed, when I found out, that I can't just poke infinitely.
i love champs with no mana
Similar to the Jhin R requiring recasts, I experienced the same issue when first playing Xerath - I also thought in his R you have to use the mouse to cast the meteorites. Great video, very relatable.
Omg same!
Same.
I also used to cancel my miss fortune ults all the time
I did so too when I picked xerath ult on ultimate spellbook once. First and last time I did so
I didnt know I could move panth R so I would always ult in place
@@nidohogg4783 it happened to me as well. I didn't know that it had such a range, so I ulted just for the extra damage in 1v1s. I died many times during the cast time tho XD
I always thought that turrets where the strongest thing so i was super scared of turrets and never wanted to get hit by the turret because I thought i would instantly die 😂
Then there was some people who didnt respect the turret enough or just were to blind to see them. Dying to them like every time they came back from spawn. Wondering who the hell is killing them so fast.
The Jhin one is too true. I tried using ult 3 times in my first Jhin match and messed it up every time. First time I thought I had to rightclick enemies and it just cancelled my ult, second time I tried left clicking, third time I thought maybe he just shoots automatically so I sat there doing nothing. It took me going into a custom match to figure out how to actually shoot it.
Same, kept cancelling my ult and got flamed to shit
thats why the ult tooltip should be changed since it doesnt tell you how to actually use it
I did the right left click thing too, but then I asked in chat and someone told me that I had to press r again to fire
You t took me several ARAMS to figure out how to use it.
4:20 I remember the first time I tried out jhin I kept pressing R on mistake to reload, like I knew it was the ult, but I just couldnt stop myself
I remember my very first game as Ahri, I went 0/14/1. I refused to go into more bot games than I had to because I didn't think I'd improve against them. I used to think Nami was the most overpowered character in the whole game because they would beat my ass. Good times.
The one with Jhin is literally me 😂😂😂 I got so mad cuz for the entire match I never ulted once lol
That one was bad for me too. But me trying to ult with Kalista for the first time was something completely different 🤣😵🙆🏼♀️ i wondered why other Kalistas always had bond with their supports and i didn't 🤣 i thought it was automatic. Idk why was i even picking her up back then ngl, but i thought her jumping was op even without the ult ?😂
The only worse experience than that was me getting sucked by my Kalista's r for the first time. I was just sitting there in the spooky underworld reality having no damn clue what the f was going on untill it would poop me out and i was like ... Okay ... This game is weird as fk... 🤣😂
I'm so glad i came upon this video since I'm dying here remembering good old days 😂😂🤣
mine was with Miss Fortune lol, I didn't finish an ult once that game bec I keep clicking on my mouse after R
Mine was pressing ornn's ult once. Didn't know that u should click it twice
Samw
I just had someone in aram tell me I thought my smartcast was messing me up I thought left click or something. Been playing since s3..
I actually didn't do many of these in the video but:
- I took Kindred adc because I love Kindred but loathe jungle
- I didn't realize you could only see a ward get placed in a bush if you already had vision inside that bush
- I only used preset rune pages
- I never let team comp affect my champ or build decisions
im still guilty of the last one 😅
noooo preset runes💔💔
I used to build crit on every champ that auto attacked, with a warmogs at the end for tankiness. Didn't matter if i was ranged or not, Surprisingly worked a lot.
One thing that I know many people are confused about as beginners is why supports aren't supposed to kill the minions and how the support items actually work. Beginners will pick an AP support like Lux and go try to farm it up.
Bro for number 5 I was the opposite. I just searched whatever I needed (like attack damage) and only bought components that had this stat. I didn't understand why you would need full items. When I had mana issues I would just buy ap items for every champion. I remember going Kayn top with rod of ages. Ah...Good times.
Me, who still plays on a locked screen. . . *sweating profusely*. But for real though, playing without it gives me a headache and I lose track of everything and where I'm at. It's not like I'm ever going pro or anything anyway.
When I first started playing I would never look/ take into account a champions passive, cause I didn’t see it as too important. This created a lot of issues when I tried to play champs like talon
same and i still dont pay attention to passives
Been a year in Wild Rift and I still don't understand what Runes are for
@@faizalardillah1440 runes are pretty important i realized that not long ago lol
The moment I learnt the cheap items could be upgraded into the expensive ones was a revelation. From then on, I built my Ashe with Runaan, Statik Shiv, Zephyr and about any other item that gave attack speed. Only because I thought it looked cool when I attacked the minions fast. Also, I always bought mobility boots with homeguard because it was funny running fast and the little visual effect was cool.
I did take smite and heal on a Darius and faced a lvl 200 mord. And I wanted only play Champs that looked cool so I naturally went from Darius to WW and then to Morde.
I’m so thankful my bf taught me how to play when I was first starting out, we have completely different play styles now but starting out it was super helpful to have someone who knows about the game and has been there since it first came out
I only played Nocturne in the beginning but was always disappointed from his ult because it just made the map darker, did'nt know i could recast it
You sir get an award. Nocturne is KNOWN for having the most insane gank of them all
Just made the map darker hahah cosmetic ults suck dude
This also happened to me with TF ult
Sure worked as a paranoia dose for the enemy.
I knew, how his ult worked, but didn't know how tf do i aim with locked camera
I remember never changing my summoner spells from the default heal and flash. It was always funny whenever my other lane opponent would rage and type "why do you have heal" when I survive with a sliver of health because of my heal spell.
I always used ghost to get back to lane faster and when my friend told me to take flash instead I was like: “But that’s so bad it barely helps you get back to lane”
Before playing Jhin for the first time I thought his r bullets were shot out through AI and it wasn’t the player controlling it
I was also oblivious to the concept of components, and thought you had to buy the full item and the components were other cheap items you could buy if you wanted
I don't really remember any "dumb stuff" I did. The only thing came into mind is that I refused to buy runes (back in the day you had to buy runes for IP, or now known as blue essence) because I wanted to save IP for buying champions.
Similar to the Jhin one, my friend used to think TF ult was just there for global vision and never used the tp part.
The one thing I remember doing is stocking up on potions, preferably having 5 at all times. Guess I thought the effects would stack, and 50g for some health seemed worth it.
Also, wards. I used to think warding was a waste of time, even as support, since they would just disappear after a few minutes.
Man, I used to buy so many mana potions and just out poke the enemy with Ashe.
I still miss them
I did the same but with opposite results with noc ult. When I first countered him (weekly rotation) I was like: I can blind people and walk to them without them being able to see me! I had no clue there was an active that lets you insta jump on them. I actually reached mastery 4 or so on him without using my ult correctly XD
I also played master yi on every role and spammed Q off cooldown (even on minions). All other champs seemed pretty useless as they didn't have that W healing, so when I trying someone else (don't remember whom) I was low hp and waited to die so I can come back to life with more health (reacall is a thing?). Also, his ult was the "I am speed" button. I had no clue what stats were back then. I thought AD is auto attacks and AP for abilities (ability power you know) and armor is something like a shield or something.
Needless to say that I didn't know jungle was an actual role. A friend of mine told me that I should not hit the monsters and generally whatever is inside the jungle, since i may get killed by them, so I tried to keep my distance off these creepy and harmful creatures. Also, I had that normal cast on so I had to double press a button to do something and itemization was buying the better looking item from the recommended ones. Fun times not gonna lie...
@@kostas0802 lol interesting story to hear
And how did you do against your enemy, or did the enemy team do similar things? xD
Also did a lot of people back then flame you or how was the chat back then?
@@wladynoszhighlights5989 at that time I was playing normal blind pick, where you can find many beginners so both enemies and allies sometimes did as silly things as I did.
As for the nocturne part specifically I had many successful ganks even if I used half of my ult, since enemies didn't really respect my potential presence on their lane (maybe bc they thought I was too bad for not using my ult correctly to kill them). The fun part was that I got a quadra with noc while still not knowing about the ult recast XD
Tbh, the first month or so I didn't know there was chat in the game because for some reason it was disabled by default, so I may have been flamed very hard back then but I will never find out and tbh I don't really wanna know. Sometimes when I played with friends they told me that the enemies bm me in all-chat but as I said... no chat
I still remember such moments of my beginner steps in league and laugh at myself, but ig it's normal. What about you? Did you have any similar experience?
i was refusing to buy refillable potions because i was thinking "Why whould i buy a pot that i can only use twice per recall when i can just get 5 normal ones and i can regen more health with them"
I used to think Tristana's AOE damage on her W was sooo amazing for farming so I'd build her full AP so I could farm more efficiently 😂
lmfao this one is actually so funny
i can imagine you just hopping around on top of minions
I used to buy Static Shiv on Kennen because it was electric based...
I also used to farm minions instead of following up for a kill...
Still don't use wards lol
1. I had no idea how to use runes, so for the longest I had the pre-set runes equipped.
2. I would run through the jungle to avoid the first 2 turrents to attack the last one so we can get in base earlier. This obviously didn't work so well most of the time.
My mate introduced me to the game but forgot to say that you only get gold from minions if you last hit them. So I used to think I was doing well in lane with 3 Cs by 15 mins
Am I the only one who thought this? I came to LoL as an Overwatch player, saw the support role, and thought I needed to help EVERYONE, not just my adc. I also played every new champion on mid lane because it felt like the most important role as a beginner.
Some of these were actually niche or cheese strategies
Teleporting to lane would allow you to invade or hide in a bush with the assurance the enemy team wasn't aware
Smite in lane was used either to gain access to jungle items or in hyper-push lanes/comps
Igniting immediately was occasionally done because an old (now removed) mastery granted a small stat boost while it was on cooldown
While not buying anything to start was always dumb, skipping the starting items for basic components (to get a head start on big items and for more health pots) was a niche strategy for basically ever
Selling boots is often done late-game to get extra direct combat power
... 6 boots is the optimal build for Dr. Mundo because it helps him go where he pleases
Oh yhea the old fiddle skipping starting item to get a fast needlesly large rod.
2:52 I'd like to give a special shoutout to the onegirl this guy played with that did this and unintentionally solidified league players view of girl = noob
im good with a joke but damn I cant even say I play without people being like awwww did your boyfriend teach your or I bet you play support right or automatically assuming I'm a noob. also im a lesbian but besides the point
Even worse if you are a female who actually enjoys support. I’m a support main but I play Thresh and Swain, not the Enchanter class. Only enchanter I play is Renata. It kind of insulting when people I’m a Lux, Yuumi, Nami, Lulu, Sona or Seraphine main.
@@maid3685 ikr. And there's nothing wrong with maining support, the problem is when people say you "have to" play someone based on your gender.
for real it was so unnecessary to make that comment 13 years of league and men are still like this to us then complain they can't get a girlfriend
I used to take exaust every game thinking that it deals damage. I also avoided playing champions with abilities that didnt do something imediatly. For example, I wouldn't play Garen because his Q doesn't do anything when I press it, I need to hit someone after pressing the button. Same thing whit Jax's W, Shyvana Q's and others. To me, it was really hard to understand this concept of "your next attack will deal more damage" and stuff like that. I remember thinkng Garen was garbage cuz two of his abilities didn't do anything (Q and W). Good old times.
4:20
One time my dad (yes I started league with my dad) played xerath and we did not know how to shoot his ult and thought its just a thing for vision, after the 5th cast doing nothing someone in chat told us we need to press R to shoot!
I did that for stright 2 years 😂 and now after i knew im at platium
I used to main WW and never bought boots because I thought the bonus movement speed from his passive was enough
5:56 I'm diamond 3 and been playing league since season 6 and honestly,I still do this method
Jhin and Xerath ults were useless to me back then... I didn't know I had to press R again!
~Good times~
As a new player, I find this video very entertaining and even comforting. My dumbest thing I've ever done so far was using Flash with like 1HP and I was also inflicted with dot so I was gonna die anyways. Wasted a flash for no reason!
this is actually really common even in high elo, you die after flashing away with low hp because enemies attack is locked on to you and its too late
I’m playing for almost 2 years and yeah I still level up my abilities via mouse, it’s way easier for me lol
Also I used to take tp as Sona supp just to come back to lane faster, and also, as a sup, I never bought any sup starting items, instead I used to buy boots bc if you’re faster no one will catch you & kill you lol
Same i also level up my abilities with my mouse, sometimes when I'm in a fight & i level up i have to kill my enemy or die or get out of combat to manually click the ability button to level my ability up when i can just level up the ability mid fight. It's our signatures ig!!
Imma supp main, and I used to take heal with any champ I played, no matter what. Even if my adc told me “take ignite or barrier,” I’d go heal. Took me quite a while to break that habit.
When you started the game you knew very few things about champions. I had a blitzcrank tell me that he couldn't play because his passive was on cool down and that he had to stay still to get it back.
And although I thought it was odd, I just accepted it.
I still remember this and hate this person, it's been 7 years since then
😂🤣🙆🏼♀️
I had a person who told me the enemy could see emotes even if you were in bushes and I believed that for the longest time
Fuck that person
I didnt know I could move panth R around the map so I always ulted in place. Did this for like 15 games till I was told
I recently introduced some of my friends to league so here are some more things:
Trying to move with wasd and accidentally wasting flash.
The cycle of ignoring turrets and diving level 2, getting absolutely obliterated and then never going near a turret again, even when there are minions nearby.
Maxing whatever ability looked the strongest visually. I remember maxing e once when I was playing mf and my brother walked in. He asked me if I was maxing it for the slow or the waveclear. I was like bro it makes bullets rain from the sky it's obviously the strongest ability duh.
Not understanding normal and magic damage and looking for a pattern. I always thought Katarina has to deal normal damage since she throws knifes.
Bonus: one of my friends played a lot of fortnite at the time and I told him to push and recall. He instantly ignored the minions, went in to fight and died. He then explained to me that in fortnite pushing means aggressively attacking.
DUDE That first one woke a memory for me. I played league for the first time in a long time during my overwatch stage and once we loaded in, I pressed D as if movement was WASD and accidentally wasted my flash. So funny.
I used to waste my flash so many times, especially when I have just closed CSGO, so I just bound my Summoner Spells to mouse bumpers (mouse keys under a thumb). And the thing is - it's actually more comfortable
I remember when I started for a long time I didnt realise that you could auto attack I thought damage only came from abilities
I remember playing nasus for so much and I never stacked, never realised what they even are. His q, to me, was a stronger hit, that's all it ever was
Hey, I still use locked camera, it's way easier (and I mainly play melee champions, like Mordekaiser)
I played Zed for a while and won some normal games with him... And yet, it took some time before someone pointed out that you can swap places with your W... That was a mindbreaker.
In 2018 I decided to try league of legends for the first time and I didn’t know what champion rotations were (free trials every week) so I played a lot of veigar and after that week was over I could not play him again and since I didn’t know how the game worked or anything at that I quit because I didn’t want to learn everything from the beginning.
In 2020 some of my friends started to play the game and now we’re all hating this game together
I also left a game and got a penalty which lasted 20m for the next 5 games so that was a reason also quit
Bro I remember playing Lee sin and not knowing his abilities had a second activation, I was like wait how do I get him to do all the cool shit like dash across the screen and all that 🤣
Bruh literally me, and i used to freak out because i hit someone with his q, because it was really hard back then, but didn’t know how to recast.
I remember that once upon a time you right clicked multiple times, because it would give you the animation for autoattack, but there was no damage.
I also remember using only ghost because "flash was hard to aim" and the distance wasn't 'that good'"
The thing that really confused me when I started playing league was the runes system. I knew what a moba was and what the goal of the game was (pick a champion, destroy turrets and then destroy the base) but what I had no idea about was the runes. When I unlocked them I was sooo confused. At first I didn't pay attention to them. However, when I also unlocked the ability too customise them myself I just started doing a bunch of random stuff. I just picked things I thought sounded cool or strong without thinking about how they would fit the champion. For example I used to play Yone top with domination as primary (dark harvest, taste of blood, eye ball collection and ultimate hunter) and precision secondary (overheal and legend bloodline). I also created a rune with sorcery in primary (arcane comet, manaflow band, absolute focus and gathering storm) and resolve in the secondary (demolish and overgrowth) and just called it "the mage rune". Thats right, I picked the same rune for every champion that I knew used magic. Tho the only mage champion I played consistently was, you won't believe it, Ryze. Obviously it didn't go so well. Another funny thing, which is also why I refused to play this game for years, is that I thought that mobas barely required any skill. I thought that since you could only move horizontally (without the ability to jump, climb, fly etc) it would be super easy to land all attacks and therefore champions with the most health would always win since they would just outrank everyone else. I also thought that the most long ranged champions would always outclass the short ranged ones mainly through kiting (yes I had the concept of kiting in my head before I even started playing league tho I didn't know how to call it). Turned out I was extremely wrong lol.
Haha, the kiting Problem was my problem too. To this time I must decide between Ashe or Garden to unlock the Champion as free. I say to me what if I don't do the max range attack or I'm to near the enemy, so I decided to play never range champs. I've never played a moba or know the concept of kiting.
I still play with locked screen, I just can't bring myself to unlock the camera, idk why, but every time I unlock the camera my iq goes down by like 40 points
I played duo top with my friend at the start. I also played Vel'koz(he looks cool and yes, I still main him) with Grasp, damage, heal and PERMANENT HP INCREASE. That's just too op for a champ like Vel who lacks survivability
Also I still believe that you can play every champ on every role and with some weird bulids, just maybe not in ranked
I am actually not guilty of anything mentioned. I always used to watch my brothers play six years ago and basically knew everything a beginner would need. Boy that was a way easier start :D
When I was newbie, I thought buying item with mana stats gave damage. That is because the other rpg I played had mana as damage source. Also I thought it was ok to leave the game in the middle of a match (which I did cuz I was called for dinner). I didnt realize that it was such a big deal that I left my team at that time.
Relating to this vid, I was guilty of using smite in lane to kill minions faster...
I actually did believe the most expensive items meant they were the best. I got into League because of Ahri, so I built things like Trinity Force (this was during Season 4 when the Sion Rework was a new thing), DFG, and Rabadon's. I didn't start learning about active items until later and took me even longer before I could use them while in combat. Sadly, just as I was starting to get the hang of it, DFG was removed.
And when Nocturne ulted, I would hide in the nearest bush, since I didn't know how his Ult worked.
I also thought you could have two people in top lane, since that's what Training and Vs AI taught us.
And this wasn't really a dumb thing, but pretty reckless. As Warwick, I would get a Hunter's Machete and 2 Health Pots, sit in base until I could buy a third, and make a beeline to the Dragon Pit (this was back when the Dragon only gave gold) and would solo it. Being that it was old Warwick, who healed on every auto-attack, and his Q had good healing, this was a non-issue. If the enemy jungler came (like to gank bot and they happened to see me), then I was in trouble.
In the beggining I picked up Zed and his abilities were simple at least for me but then when I tried Olaf and Vayne I wondered what is this passive and what does attack speed scaling with missing H.P mean, what is true damage and how am I getting three circles on my enemy . I also wondered why I would get blotched out after killing someone with duskblade . I didn't know how to chat for the first month of playing league I finally decided to google it turns out I just had to press Enter .
the last part, with the Enter, u should forget it :))
I feel you, man. Had the same reaction first time playing Vayne. I didn't know how to activate W (didn't understand that passive abilities are... passive xD) and was so focused on that i didn't even notice i was shooting silver bolts and the 3 circles. Same with Teemo E. Needless to say adc was my least favorite role. I only liked Kog'Maw 'cause he's so cute xD.
@@raduvlad1552 Wish I could but toxic teammates never forget to remind me of its existence
3:12 exactly, I was thinking "Doctor Mundo" is just a skin for Mundo because I saw a "corporate Mundo" skin once
I still remember when I was playing Jhin and 100% lost out on three kills because I canceled the ult with a move command rather than hitting R again
Happened to me but with MF Ult
@@brightlotus_meow happened to me during my first days of league.. good times
happened to me a lot after playing league 2 years, great times
i still sometimes do that after 5 years... havent done much progress and im hard stuck silver player so what do you except *insert clown emoji here*
I was helping a friend of mine with his build in top lane (his Wukong vs a Garen) and I recommended Death's Dance for that matchup because he asked for an item that gave him "physical power and protections" (he played SMITE as his go-to MOBA). He ended up doing really well that game and always bought that item after boots and mythic regardless of the matchup. It was hilarious when he was raging at a Mord stomping him in lane because he decided Death's Dance was just a "buy me and win item" after one good game where it made sense to build
My friends still won't let me forget that my first main was Rammus support with cloth armor and 5 health pots. It just made sense and supp items were a foreign concept
Definitely felt the flash one, coming from Dota i was expecting the flash to act like blink dagger where u could teleport a large range w low cd... And boy was i wrong
I remember 2 things when I started playing league
1. play teemo and ekko with crit items (1 crit item gave 25% so only 4 were needed)
2. When I played jg as warwick I used to build vampiric scepter first item so I would get lifesteal on everyone not just jungle camps
I actually try and playoff - meta junglers a lot. In the moment i really like Xayah, Tryndamere and Rezeption jungle. These Champs have so different play styles compared to their normal role or other junglers, its just great fun.
I distinctively remember when I started I built old hydra on Draven. 😆
And the building the full item thing lol
I started playing back in season 2. I remember quite vividly i thought Flash was a bad summoner xD i was playing support as my first role and i thought that having heal and exhaust would be more helpful for my adc lol. Watching a stream made me realize i was sooo wrong.
Also yeah, took me so long to smartcast as well. I also liked the arrow indicators lol. I still level up my abilities with my mouse, but i'm a dirty casual ARAM player now.
PS: runes back in the day were soooo confusing, i don't blame anyone for running obscure stuff at the time
as someone who started playing 3 weeks ago and got this video recommended because of guides I watched, I can say I do almost everything mentioned here
The RH build on wrong champs hit home for me. Used to build it on mid lane Vel’Koz because I was so bad at last hitting minions!
On my first day in 2013 I picked fiddlesticks bc he looked the coolest. I ran around the map aimlessly and I would REFUSE to use any other spells than W because I was overwhelmed by too many different abilities that I had to press and I didn't understand what benefit his old Q, the fear had because "it deals no damage" lol. I also only ulted the minions :)
I remember when I first started League I thought I had to save up points to put into my abilities in order to upgrade my R. So for example I thought that upgrading your R took multiple levels of skill points.
As someone who played the DOTA mod years ago, then coming in new to LoL this year, most of the time i said "oooh, that's convenient" , "huh, that is so much more simple" or "so you can't do that(minion denying for example)". I didn't have a hard time adjusting again even after years(surprisingly still have my mechanics) but the real struggle i had was with the fact that i don't have single clue on what the champions do (still dont know like more than half). The only time I really do bad, to the point that i sometimes feed is when I'm against champs I don't really know.
Anyway, I have been really enjoying the game and will continue playing and learning.
Omfg. "Who the hell is Mia and why is she in all my games?" I'm stealing that. Im dead.
I actually thought back in the days i only could buy items that where in the recommended itemshop for your champ. And i always bragged to my best friend who brought me into the game that i could buy mobis and could be faster in lane than him.
I remember thinking any champ could be in any lane. I also thought starter items were dumb, because why need something that doesn't build big items. Also I thought tank Vladimir was smart
Well I mean any champ has at least1 lane that can work for them, and the main role that some champs can’t do is jungle, like yuumi can do anything somewhat except for jungle.
You forgot using all your potions at once when your very low on health/mana 😂
I still do it tbh.
Hurricane used to be buildable on melee champions, It also had the highest atk-spd scaling too. So I would built 2 of them on old Warwick back in the day.
tip 20 is actually something I've never thought about in my 8 years playing league.
its feels like you've awoken something in me. imagine if they implemented this in the game in some rotating mode
that'd be fun to try out.
When me and my friend first started playing, we were really surprised when Mordekaiser ulted one of us. We used to shout like "bro wtf, he took me to a different place. What do I do now?". It was soo cool that my friend started to main Morde lol.
We paniced hard and always died. When we didnt die we were happy as fuck
For the first one Id argue that ppl were too deadset on champions being played in only certain roles, like beginners who read the rules would think “I can only play Aatrox in top lane, and not mid” cuz he wasnt recommended in midlane. I remember for the longest time I didnt like junglers cuz I didnt like to jungle, until I tried them in ARAM and realized a lot of junglers like J4, Lee sin, Gragas, etc had some of the most fun playstyles for me and I didnt want to pick up jg so i started playing them in top, mid, and sometimes support. Obviously I wouldnt take someone like Amumu adc but just cuz its recommended that a champ b played in a certain role in champ select, it doesnt mean that’s their only role. Mao Kai and Swain both started off as solo laners but now they’re recommended only as supports
After 10 years, Im still not using quick-cast, it's just better for me to see the actual range of something and not eyeing it everytime
Here are mine from when I started playing:
1. Using autoattack and not using quick cast.
2. I had never played support, but got autofilled into it, so I attacked the minions. My adc wasn't happy about it, but I just didn't know back then.
3. Attacking the dragon without my jungler there.
4. Not buying wards and never looking at the map.
Before I started playing League in 2013, I'd watch my brother play. Whenever he left the computer I'd look through the champions and for the longest time I thought champs were like a species/race, sort of like Pokemon, instead of them actually being individual characters so I'd be like "I want to play an Ashe" "Zyras look pretty cool" "What kind abilities do Yoricks have?" "You main Nocturnes?"
6:03 on Old fiddlesticks I remember thinking that Fiddle's ult has a long range only to be hit with reality that it wasn't
and I thought katarina was pure assassin ad
Had a friend who started in 2021 in the jg and repeatedly told us "never clear crugs first clear, they're too slow" and would never clear crugs on any champ.
He's diamond now and we still rip on him for it.
When I first started playing, a friend told me and my brothers to build damage on ranged champions because "you dont go in so you dont need hp" so we used to build 6 bf swords on every ranged champion and later upgrade them to bloodthirsters xD
I didn't understand that you had to destroy lane objectives in order so I was like "well if the point is to destroy the nexus, I'll just do that." I then built 4 warmogs on Annie (bc more life means less death, obviously) and just ran past all the turrets and tried to smack the nexus.
Season 2 me.
"2 Boots, one for every foot." I was in tears bro, no way xD
First time I played Pyke I didn't know I could hold down the key to hook people. I thought you just stab everything. I learned that you could in that game, after the game was half over
When i started i was always buying a full stack of 5 Potions whenever i was in base. You know healing always sounds good, even at level 18 and 40 minutes into a game
I once was in a game with a full life steal xin zhao and I was amazed by how quickly he was regenerating health. I didn’t know about life steal back then and I supposed it some special ability that champ had. I spend the next week grinding games so I could buy Xin and I was massively disappointed when mine barely regenerated any health.
My friend didn't know you could zoom out so when he first started playing he would always play with the camera zoomed in on his champ and it wasn't until we watched him play over discord that we called him out on it. He surprisingly got better after lol
I gotta admit. I read the old shop's descriptions and played full AP on Darius jg and Vayne...
Played Kha mid too LMAO
Funny thing, my first game as a jungler was also my first ranked game, literally never touched that role until playing ranked lol
I still take smite when laning for sustain and taking scuttle crab, or smite creep that get in my skillshot way
recasting abilities are pain ! :D when i first started playing one of my mains was akali and i thought that she had only one e and i was playing like this for a good amount of time until enemy picked her. and oh boy she was FLYING
I've not done a lot of these, but I may have worse ones
1. I still use lock screen even in platinum
2. I used to use a track pad as I couldn't find a mouse, I did this so much I got used to it,, it wasn't until I played at a friends house they questioned me
3. I felt the NEED to play off meta, like Elise support
4. I wanted to play EVERY role and EVERY champ
5. This is 100% just me, but I used to ask my enemy jungler in all chat where they started so I could learn where to start
6. When I started I mained Yi, then lost to a xin, played xin, lost to an olaf, played olaf... so on so forth
7. 1% crit rune
8. If it has CC, It can support! (Sorry teammates back then)
9. ALWAYS buy mobis. Every game so I don't waste time not being in lane
10. NEVER go back, you can always back with MORE gold when you're forced to
When I started playing, I was very used to games where dashes were something that you could just spam to quickly move around, which is what I did with flash
Took me a bit to get out of that habit
The first time I played Orn I didn't know you could recast the R, so I tried to hit it with E since I saw people dash towards their R
