Anything I should know as a beginner?
-Don't panic.
-Pretty much all of the 450 IP champions are relatively strong choices for what they do.
-This game has a relatively high burden of knowledge. The best way to learn it all is to play. Which means dealing with griefers and crap players and getting used to losing. My losses outnumbered my wins for about 200 played games. I also have a lowish level smurf that can join in the fun.
-For the love of god, last hit creeps:

At low levels your opponents are going to constantly attack, pushing the lane right up to your tower. So I won't say "never attack minions unless it's the last hit" since your tower might take a bit of a beating, but you want to time those last hits as often as possible. Last hitting is how you get money. Kills are great and all, but last hitting is so disgustingly important. Having more money faster than your opponents gets you way ahead.
-If all else fails, play cool. Not dying is more important than killing.

The official website also has a solid database
