New LoL player

Glad Worlds was a fun experience for you!

Another redditor gave a really good answer (@sillyfella3). I have a couple other things to add:

1. Players tend to find a role that fits their style before they find a champ that really suits them. Try out the different roles (top, jungle, mid, support, ADC).

2. Play against bots on different difficulties. LOL is very complex. You’ll get better against human players the more familiar you are with what each champion can do - that way you can anticipate their actions. Your first several games will be just about learning your own moves.

3. Read! Seriously…some of the ability descriptions are long. Hard to play your best when you don’t know your full kit.

4. It’s okay to lose. You just saw one of the best teams in the world lose to T1. It literally happens to everyone. It will happen to you a lot. Find the fun in your steady improvement and in moments you did really well (even if the match was a loss). My best plays are sometimes in matches I lose.

5. You are legitimately more likely to win if you don’t get mad at your team and if you try to diffuse conflict calmly. There’s always room for a comeback even in a game that seems lost. Just because you were first blood doesn’t mean the game is over (T1 lost first blood all 5 games…).

Glad to have you in the game, I hope you have a blast!
