Is there a newb friendly guide to this because I just installed & updated & need to waste time until the servers up. My brother sucks at the game too so he can only teach me the basics.

I haven't really checked out any guides, but what characters are you interested in? Me and other people can give you some pointers to help you get started if nothing else.

hmm kinda sucks that the servers are down kuz the built in tutorial that the game has is pretty thorough regarding noob play...I was completely clueless when i started and the tutorial got me goin pretty well.
well, since the servers are offline, maybe check this out?

@_kSo_. Well, I know the COMPLETE basics & my brother told me not to do the tutorial and just showed me basic stuff & I was like "Oh, easy." Thanks for the link.
Had some practice games & was pretty fun. I haven't played any character but heimerdinger at this point but I'll mess around with others. The game is amazingly fun.

Mogwai went to school in Pittsburgh. His hometown is near Philly so I call dibs.
That was fantastic.
uhg, that was whack.
I'll worry about who's team I'm on when people start actually showing up in the SWF chat room, but as of right now, it's totally dead, lol.

uhg, Regi's tutorials are so terrible. He was also a ****ing giant feeder in my game last night. I've seen him play carries like a champ, but god****, his Kayle was like 1/8/1 or some crap last night.
On Hotshot's stream last night, he was playing Kayle and ended up 2/8/4 or something like that. Ended up winning, though.
big names are horribly overrated. I find that 9/10, big name players are inconsistent as hell.
that being said, Dyrus is the most consistent monster I've seen. god**** that kid is good.

I don't think I've ever seen him play.
he's the best singed player in the game, hands down. he was also probably the best Jax back when Jax was good. no idea if he has a stream or is part of any big teams, I just know I've seen him a lot in high elo and he's just always been good. never known him to have an off game.
I am so bad at this game. I am at like 1150.
rough night landed me at 1587 last night
I got so good because I'm pretty much the most awesomest.
in reality, I just always try to put losses on myself and try to figure out what I can do differently, which frequently includes thinking about how I can interact with teammates to get them to stop being ******* and/or to account for their ***********. Oh yea, and I play a lot of IMBA champs, lol.
Unfortunately I can't get my favorite IMBA champs right now because I'm using my IP to get some IMBA runes.
I guess I could pay money or something for the champs. Then I can finally get that Firefighter Tristana skin.

Best skin in the game!
I need to play more ranked games but I hate solo queue

Virg we just need to dual queue. I have such weird hours of playing though.
well, my opinion is that if your problem is:
"I am under 1500, HALP!"
the solution is:
"buy kayle, buy rageblade, **** *****es, win games... YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Play Garen every game
I had actually started climbing the solo queue ladder (6-2 at my first 8 games) but then some amazingly ******** stuff happened that is mostly related to servers. Like one match so many people dc'd that I fought a 1v2 (Garen vs Nidalee and Rammus for those interested).
I also had a match where I went 22-5 as Akali but I could not, for the life of me, get my team to push. Ever. We almost won that one purely because of how fed I was though. I shoulda bought snowball items :\'
Wobbles: I meant I played against you before. Not planned, just remember the name.
Edit: How do I get to the chat anyways?

Well I'm not exactly calling for help but your advice is discouraging because I own Kayle and get Rageblade and I still have a losing record with her.
By the time I get Rageblade the good ganking opportunities are usually over. So I can do mad damage but if I have crappy teammates there's nothing I can really do at that point.
Are you the same Mogwai that's posting like crazy in the LoL thread on teamliquid right now?
AprilShaw

Don't gank as Kayle, just be a selfish jerk and farm until you finish Rageblade and maybe Nashor's Tooth, then you can take down turrets in <10 seconds and champions in <5 :D just be selfish, save your invuln for yourself, etc.
Playing imba chars in an imba way is the most sensible and repeatedly successful way to climb the Elo ladders.

yea, I'm on a neverending posting spree in that thread.
and yea, what CABC said. Kayle is 0% about ganking. If you're ganking, you're not farming, if you're not farming, you're failing. You need to grab a solo lane, preferably on a side lane and just farm your *** off. Once you get your zerkers + rageblade, you're a pushing machine. You spend most of your time roaming around farming/pushing lanes and taking towers and arriving fashionably late to teamfights to kill everyone, but you should really never be going for ganks or even generally concerning yourself with your teammates unless it's convenient for you. Too many people think Kayle's still somewhat about support, but at this point she's really a lone-wolf super-carry solo-pusher, like Shaco. The reason she's so effective at solo queue is because you can play very independent of your team so long as you have good map awareness.
Garen's fairly imba and he's probably my most frequent pick these days, but I don't feel the same level of singlehandedly carrying my team that I get with Kayle as Garen.
I'll post instructions with Screenshots of how to get to the Chat, I just realized that not everyone knows how that **** works because PvP.net is pretty whack.

i had a 11-2 game as garen and the only deaths were at the end because of my team focusing tanks instead of the ashe or akali they had. So we lost every team fight.
It was 22-16 and we were ahead 1 tower by 20 minutes. all their first turrets were gone.
and 3 people on my team wanted to surrender.
I hate solo queue.

you were garen, you should've just singlehandedly ***** Ashe and Akali by yourself.
18-12 and 11-5 are pretty good, so yeah.
I can certainly be more selfish and farm for myself more, but no way am I going to do stuff like save Kayle's ultimate for myself (unless I feel I'm the one who needs it the most, of course).
Go go map awareness!
Who's down to play either Tuesday night or Thursday night? I think we should get some of these SWF games rolling.

Well the thing with Kayle is, chances are you are the one who needs it most. Though you can make pro saves with it too.
I make pro-saves like it's my job, but < 1500, **** other people, it was always on me, lol.

Really? Because after Nashor's Tooth or blue buff I can pretty much have range activated all the time.
I tend to shield people when I see they're about to take massive damage. Then I'll get comments like "save it for people who are about to die." I'm pretty confident that I'm using it correctly (lol Veigar) but the number of people who think it's best to cheat death with it is pretty consistent. The way I see it, you prevent people from taking huge chunks of damage and they keep fighting while the enemy is wasting their skills. If you just use it when someone is about to die then they'll live but they'll also just usually run away. Doesn't help the teamfight at all. All you did was prevent the other team from getting gold and maybe some stacks.
Thoughts on this?

it's situational, but typically you're right. you get the most out of it when the opponents are starting their FF on a squishy, USUALLY THIS IS YOU.

Next patch wants to speak with you in a dark room somewhere.
I will make a fully functional jungle Tryndamere. Wait and see!

He's already fully functional... but unless you're good at ganking with him and they have no jungle to **** you early-game, I'm not sure he'd be that swell.
Edit: Solo Q Kayle is not fun or rewarding when teammates STEAL YER FARM. >:O

I swear, queueing up with 5 feels worse than solo queue for me
Ezreal (me, AD), Soraka, Galio, Xin Zhao, Master Yi (AP built)
Ezreal: 7/3/1
Soraka: 0/3/2 (legit, it's Soraka)
Galio: 1/7/2
Xin Zhao: 1/6/2
Master Yi: 1/5/1
Galio player had never picked him before. Xin Zhao player pretty much mains Xin Zhao, and among other things, died at level 3 to Golem, ended the match at level 12, missed the steal on Baron with Smite, and pretty much didn't help at all. Master Yi... tried, but he was focused down every fight pretty much since Galio died instantly, Xin Zhao never participated, and I, being Ezreal, pressed E and suddenly I couldn't be focused.
It was pretty pathetic. This was in normal games, but is the source of many of my issues with ranked games atm
