So I've picked up LoL 3 days ago, after having been asked by my friends more than once.
I've tried out a few of the F2P champions and raked in some IP, read a bunch about the whole terminology the game uses, being totally green with games such as DoTA it took some getting used to... died to towers because 'I thought I had that guy' more than I care to count...
I'm at a bit of an impasse however, most of my friends play the rated stuff, and If I join up with them as a team, I get matched against very high level players, being more of a burden than an asset...
The other side of the coin is that I'm currently matched with what seems to be children?
My entire team is constantly throwing tantrums about who takes which lane, they are quitting the game over simple mistakes others make, are constantly spouting noob and ks at each other, and here I thought the WoW community could be shit.
I've personally unlocked Nautilus with RP (having been gifted some) and really enjoy playing a support role in bottom lane when i'm with my friend (who made a new lowlvl account to play with me), dragging enemies into our tower with Nautilus' chain attack really is a powerful move.
Doing it on random teams however ususally involves me dragging something and the other guy suddenly running into jungle for god knows what, then leaving me alone at bot for 5 mins.
I'm also taking a liking to Cho'gath, whom i've unlocked with IP, I play him as a ganker / semi tank (being careful to not lose stacks)
My questions are pretty much:
1. Does the community get better at higher levels?
2. Is Nautilus / Cho'gath viable at lower levels, since they pretty much dominate with good support, but i'm having a very tough time alone on them
3. Is there any way to speed up the grind and get away from these people in matchmaking?
