Been playing AI games as Soraka - not confident or comfortable enough yet to play a carry, much less against other people.
If anyone wants to noob it up with me feel free to add Xelendis. I'm only level 8 so don't expect too much of me yet.
Facechecking: the act of checking brush with your face. Frequently results in surprise ambushes. See: Garen. At low levels in particular, people in the top and bottom lane love to wait in the brush to try and catch the other team.
Nunu, Ryze, and Caitlyn are pretty straight-forward champs that are free for a few more days. Nunu has a really good healing skill and the slow from snowballs make it easy to engage/run away. Ryze is a caster that builds off mana, so he ends up very tanky with good damage. He's also got a non-skillshot (hit automatically on the target) snare that allows for easy engage/running. Caitlyn is probably the safest ranged AD (attack damage -> right click to win) in the game. Her range is incredible and she has solid escape from her net and the cupcake traps are always useful.
