Building skills in League of Legends<\/a> can be a big challenge, since the game is constantly evolving. Simply logging lots of hours in the game in hopes of improving isn\u2019t that effective, and sooner or later you\u2019ll plateau.<\/p>\n

What really can really help you take your game to the next level isn’t actually tied to the mechanics of playing the game; it’s all about your foundation. Today we’ll focus on foundational elements of League of Legends that will get you a lot farther and improve your skills faster. This list of tips and tricks are essential if you want to climb in ranked, or simply become a better player regardless of the game mode.<\/p>\n

How to become a champion in League of Legends<\/h2>\n

Map awareness<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You should always treat the Summoner\u2019s Rift as a whole, regardless of your role. For a good portion of each game, you will only inhabit a small portion of it, but as the game develops you will move from your lane\/jungle and become a part of a five-man unit that will contest enemy structures and objectives. While laning, you should always look at the mini-map every couple of seconds, but also keep in mind where the enemy laner\/jungler was last seen. League is a game of pathing, and there is only a set number of possibilities for every situation; by having a good read on the enemy jungler or laner you can evade countless ganks.<\/p>\n

So how does this manifest in actual League play?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re the ADC and you don\u2019t see the enemy midlaner on the map, then perhaps pushing and going for trades isn\u2019t the most logical decision. Likewise, if you notice your lane opponent playing a bit differently and trying to provoke a fight, it probably means the enemy jungler is in close proximity.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going for a push on a sideline (top or bottom), then pay very close attention to where the enemy team was last seen. If you don\u2019t keep track, you will get collapsed upon very quickly.<\/p>\n

Communication<\/h3>\n

Talking to your teammates from the very beginning is the single most important thing while in-game. From the pick and ban phase to the final moments of the game, you should exchange thoughts, warnings, and advice whenever possible.<\/p>\n
