Step by Step to the Game – How Do I Start LoL?
If you are now thinking “Okay, the game might be for me. How do I get started?” here comes a step-by-step guide to your first game.
- First of all, you obviously need the game. To do this, you must first create an account on the official League of Legends website. German players usually play on the EU-West server. However, if you want to play on a different server, you need to choose that when registering the account.
- Here you can go to the official League of Legends website to register your account.
- After registering, you can download the setup file for League of Legends from the website.
- After the installation, select a summoner name in the game. This is the name that other players see in the game and through which friends can find and add you.
- By answering the question of how experienced you are with games like League of Legends, the game determines your skill level.
- A training game against bots will be offered afterwards, which aims to familiarize you with the game.
- After this game, to play with other players against LoL bots, click “Play” at the top of the client. Then select Coop > Classic > 5vs5 > Intro
- Before you come into champion selection, you need to specify whether you want to play alone with strangers against the bots, or if you have friends you want to invite to the game.
- Once you have done that, start the search. If a game is put together, you have to accept the invitation to the game.
- Now comes the selection of a champion. In the first games, it does not matter which role you play – choose a hero that appeals to you at first glance. If they don’t end up being fun for you in this LoL game, simply play a different champion in the next round.
- Once the champion selection is completed, you enter the loading screen, and then your game of League of Legends starts.
- Since you are in intro mode, you will be provided with tips during the game. For example, that you can buy items or which items are suitable for your hero.
After completing this game, you should have a good understanding of how League of Legends works. After the first few games, you will notice that everything runs much smoother, and you may have even improved. Keep playing at a certain difficulty against bots until you feel confident enough to step up a level. Once you can easily defeat the “intermediate” bots, you might dare to try a “PvP” match against other human opponents.
Have fun!
