Updated in preparation for Season 4, Learn the League’s 12th edition is packed with more information than ever before. Just as League of Legends evolves, Learn the League is a living project with regular updates that bring changes, updates, and lots of new content. Whether you want a better understanding of the ongoing tournament scene or you want to become a better player, the up-to-date knowledge will help you achieve this. Don’t worry about falling behind, either, as updates are always free to members!
Learn the League is the most comprehensive gaming guide in the history of gaming. It is a massive written guide packed with detailed, helpful information. Even better, when text isn’t best to illustrate a concept, videos are provided in addition to the guide, allowing you to improve your game in the most effective formats. Here’s what you’re getting:
Here’s what two League players had to say after becoming Learn the League members and climbing through the ranks:
Like every guide I’ve published in the last decade, Learn the League is designed to be readily understood by new players while still being packed with knowledge that veterans can use. If you’re not at least a Gold ranked player, chances are there’s still a ton this e-book can teach you about the game. Check out what’s offered for where you are in the game:
A guide through your very first steps, from setting up an account and downloading the game to understanding runes, masteries, and the matchmaking system.
This section is filled with practical information, such as strategies for using Riot Points, basic concepts behind champions, developing solid muscle memory and understanding game mechanics, and dealing with “smurf” players and other players who aim to make your League experience worse.
This section covers what is expected from many players in the early levels, including what types of champions are played in which areas of the map, as well as the reasoning for this. Ultimately, Learn the League should bring you to a level where you can make smart decisions regardless of the strict social rules of the meta, but this is a good resource for when you’re getting started out.
In this section I list some of my favorite champions, as well as a description on why I enjoy them and how they can be played. This is meant to give you a jump start if you haven’t found the champions you’ve fallen in love with yet.
While not every player is ready to jump into using quickcasting (or quickcasting with range indicators), this section will give you the knowledge of where and how it’s useful, as well as how to start using it.
This set of short movies covers playing with an unlocked camera, using pings and smart pings, and using shops and item sets effectively.
This section covers the metagame strategy behind ranked matches and draft pick, and also offers an in-depth look at how Matchmaking Rating (formerly Elo) interacts with Tiers, Divisions, and League Points.
As one of the largest sections in the e-book, this covers each of the primary roles, as well as many secondary roles. Runes, masteries, and summoner spells are discussed for each primary role, alongside an exhaustive look at items and item strategy.
This is the heart of the strategic and tactical information in the e-book. This covers decision-making, objectives, lane extension, and virtually every major bit of information about how and why certain plays should be made.
This section, along with the companion movie, gets into a variety of team compositions, with plenty of examples from tournament play. The information here will help you understand why pro teams choose the champions they do and how team compositions are effective — these are many of the same compositions that have been seen at the Season 2 and Season 3 world finals, as well as worldwide in mid-season tournaments.
Learn how to set up team plays that force your opponents to make bad choices. By understanding the concepts here you’ll get a broader insight into how the best teams in the world implement their game-winning strategies.
As one of the most unique roles in League of Legends, I’ve dedicated a large section just to jungling and counter-jungling. Alongside this is a subject important to understand for all players — ganking. These subjects are accompanied by three companion movies.
You may know wards are important and map vision is a huge part of winning games, but this section is designed to lay out exactly where and how to make the best use of vision tools. While ideal for support players, this is important knowledge for anyone who wishes to get ahead in the League.
As a fully standalone video, there’s a whiteboard discussion on positioning, especially as it relates to teamfighting.
The Summoner’s Rift guidebook goes into detail on how every map-related system functions, from jungle monsters to structures to the fog of war, with an emphasis on cool mechanics you may not know about. You’d be surprised just how much is involved in a Baron Nashor fight!
This listing of champion stats covers functional details (ex.: the order that armor and magic reduction/penetration is applied), as well as the relationships stats have with each other.
This section covers all of the summoner spells in detail, allowing you to make smart decisions on when to use them and when to avoid them.
Members have access to an extensive listing of awesome and core League of Legends resources around the world. If you want to jump into the broader worldwide community but don’t know the places to start, check out this list.
Though this e-book is not intended as a champion-specific product, I’ve also included written transcripts of my in-depth YouTube guides for over 40 champions.
A variety of small…
