If you've been playing daily for the last two weeks, you'll already earn that random legendary skin today. So let us share a short silence for everybody who will unbox Annie in Wonderland (2010), when the Annie-versary skin (2019) is almost within reach.

I got Battlecast Prime Cho'Gath myself, which is great.

counterpoint tanks are hella important in solo q because everyone wants to play blink ninjas, and a team that can tie someone up for 5 seconds can frequently turn things around. Just pick a tank with a giant neon gently caress YOU ENGAGE button so your team does the thing.

also the most fun thing in this game is making sure the other team has zero fun. that is why i play janna and soraka.

I don't think it's necessarily tanks, if you have most squishy but cc to kite or outplay some random soloq comps can work. That's the problem with picks like Irelia, Akali's ult pre nerf and Qiyana. They don't ruin your whole comp by just being assassins.

Also holy gently caress I just started playing Kayle after watching it worlds more, this champ is so easy to play and broken. Just get biscuits + tonic to survive till 6.

btw I got dark cosmic jhin, fun champ and cool skin i guess even though its not my role.

Jinx is great but the auto attack audio on that skin is the most grating loving sound in the game.

Standard new guy questions here. Best way to start out? Best role? What things should I focus on learning first? Keep in mind I don't have a ton of time to play and well likely mostly have to solo queue.

the best character is one that you enjoy playing so just try a bunch of them and see what happens. maybe one you will find one that sparks joy or someone that makes you think "NOPE NOT FOR ME"

try all of the ones that the game gives you early and the 450 blue essence champions

they said no

If you're new then play some braindead yet overall strong toplane champions, like Volibear, Malphite, Ornn and Poppy

There are 11 anniversary gifts, the legendary skin is at day 10. To get a day’s reward you need to play a single game (any mode I think). 22 hours after completing it you will receive the quest for the next day/gift.

I don’t know the exact end-date for these gifts, but you have at least two more weeks to earn them.
