He made some VERY fundamental mistakes. I won't bother to list them out because I'm just very saddened how he's level 6 yet he hasn't had them down. And you guys will laugh at it. And he doesn't know how to play Sona, worst of all. I had to get myself killed 4 times just to save him. Had he used him correctly, I wouldve been much better off. I was very, very close to ragequitting.

(On a good note, I managed to utilize Stand United to save my Lux teammate. Kind of the warm fuzzy moment)

Now I dunno if I'm in the mood to play more LoL tonight. I can't believe I'm pulling a Kaj. Literally. Now I really know how he feels. >_>

Eddikins Wrote:Honestly? If they are a first timer i dont get why you think they wouldnt make mistakes..

WillDaSnail Wrote:Even though he is level 6, he is somewhat of a first timer, yet I had expected him to at least have the fundamentals down by default.

Though that expectation went out the door once I saw he did not know how to use Sona.

ElectricSix Wrote:Eh not everyone takes the time to brush up on champions before they play them/looks at item guides for them/whatever other prep work can be done. I know I've had at least one or two terrible games where I had some low level feeders who were complaining about what nerds the other team was for being able to play their champions competently. Or how "it's just a game", so they didn't need to practice their champions or anything. It can be frustrating, but that's what they want to do, and that's apparently the extent of what they enjoy the game for. I couldn't imagine doing that, as I feel that doing something like that can be a game ruining experience, but for some people, they just want as casual gameplay as possible.

They're very different in how you're meant to play them.

WillDaSnail Wrote:Let me establish this before we go further:

My friend told me he uses Ashe and Ryze extensively, which was OK with me (good starting champs). But for whatever reason, he picks Sona and I started to worry what might happen. That's a huge jump in gameplay difference if you noticed. Ashe and Ryze are simple easy-to-use guys. But Sona...she's mostly support and can only do attacking on the side.

And I'm giving him a hard time because if he's playing there alone and pulls off the same thing he did last night, he's going to tick off more than a few people that are simply looking for a good game to play. Just like when Kaj gave me a hard time, I knew I had to learn fast or I'll get my ass handed to me again and again, and give everyone a hard time as a result. (inb4 Kaj picks me apart for using Warmog when I started using Rammus. ).

Anyways, I told him to go play more practice games, stick with a specific class of champions, look up guides, and see gameplay videos before I teach him advanced specific/general protips.
