League of Legends asks two teams of five to work toward destroying the opposing Nexus. Riot’s introduction explains the map, champions, structures, and different team roles. For a new player, choosing a small area of that system to learn makes the first matches more manageable. (Riot Games League how-to-play guide)

Keep your starting choices narrow

Pick a role and a couple of champions you are interested in. Learn how they collect resources, avoid unnecessary damage, and contribute when teammates arrive. Constantly changing every part of the setup makes it harder to recognize what you improved between games.

Before leaving your usual area, ask what the move will accomplish. Helping a nearby fight, preparing vision, and returning to buy are different decisions with different timing.

Review a decision you controlled

After a match, choose one moment where you could have acted differently with the information available. Perhaps you stayed after a useful purchase became possible or followed a fight without knowing where another opponent was. Turn that into one reminder for the next game. Understanding a repeatable decision is a stronger foundation than memorizing a large number of tips you cannot yet connect to the map.
