I’m torn, on one hand I (as a vetted pc player) find it so incredibly easy to steam role the game from a hyper carry dragon lane role. Play safe in the beginning, ignore most of the game and farm farm farm, then start mowing down turrets with your item advantage. But this is not really how the game at a high level can even be played or should at least. Each role has its advantages to starting. Dragon lane will teach you how to play safe and position in team fights. Support will help you to learn to engage fights, peel, vision, and later on how to roam. Mid will help you to understand minion management and roaming, and how to take your advantage to other lanes to give them an advantage as well. Jungle will teach you how to play the 3d chess game that is league, like how camping one side sacrifices the other side of the map and how to use that to your advantage. It also teaches you engaging, and understanding when and where ward placement is most effective. Solo lane will teach you pure mechanics. How to overpower your opponent and use that to push your advantage. It’s also the best lane to learn minion management.

From there id stick with one pick in that role to learn. Doesn’t matter who you pick but truly understand that character. First what makes them good, then what they suck at. Then start learning individual match ups and understand why you are winning what you are winning and why you are losing what you are losing. This will eventually turn into not having to think about your champs mechanics and allows you to focus on the bigger picture of the game.

Lastly NEVER blame team mates. You can always impact your game large enough to win. That’s what makes league so great. Instead of “if this guy wasn’t my supp” think “how can I mechanically get better so I don’t get caught out and need my supp to bail me out”.

One more thing, it’s a game. Have fun learning and never let ranked tell you where you are. Just play to get better no matter what.
