My son asked me if I would play league of legends with him, so tried it for the first time. So much going on!

Firstly, how does anyone zero in on what hero they want to play, there are so many of them! I feel like it would take a year just to play enough to decide.

Secondly, the purchase UI seems to have been designed to ensure that a new player can never understand it. I'm sure like all things it becomes clear over time but jeez, did a professional team really work on that thing?

Anyway, 2 defeats from 2 games so far, I write to you from the lobby waiting for the third!

Sorry should have been more clear, I meant the one inside the battle, when you can buy items to help you in the game. Haven't got as far as working out if you can pay to get better items on that list!

My lad has been pretty calm about playing it, and most other games but I'll look out for the behaviour and language, thanks

Lots of items in the shop are built out of other items. You want to built towards one big item first, plus boots.

The recommended tab is where you will want to stay until you know more. It's pretty straight forward.
