Good, cheap champs to start with include Ashe and Master Yi, the only trick to them is knowing when the appropriate time to jump into a fight is. DPS champions are sort of like "right click to win" characters more than casters or tanks. Before you play a real game with any champ you've never played, I recommend reading a guide or two at places like http://www.mobafire.com/ and http://leaguecraft.com/, watching a youtube video or two, and playing one custom game against bots to get a feel for how the skills work.
Hell, LoL's official forums are halfway decent, unlike Nexon's. http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/for...y.php?f=29 is the beginner forum, and all of those stickies are decent reads.
General tip: Always try to last-hit minions for the gold. Don't just stand and auto-attack. You'll see this all the time in higher level videos, they let their minions pick away at the enemy minions and then do one attack to finish them. In the early game, it's okay to be hugging your tower. It's easier to get minion kills, easy to fall back to safety, and if your opponent gets too far into no-man's land it opens up the chance for other members of your team to come around and "gank" them. (Sneaky gang-up kill)
