All League of Legends Cheats and Tips - Latest First.

How to get and use Runes

Runes allow you to improve your character outside a regular game of League of Legends. There are four types, Marks, Seals, Glyphs and Quints.

Marks tend to boost offensive categories, Seals are defense-focused, Glyphs favor magic, while Quints are good all-rounders and are the best type of Rune (although are far rarer than the others, with only 3 allowed at maximum, compared to 9 for the rest).

You need to first buy Runes from the store, then you can activate them via your Profile page, and the Rune tab.


Using Quints

Quintessences are a type of rune, the rarest one. You can only begin to use one at Level 10. Then you unlock a second at Level 20, and the final third at Level 30. This is far fewer than the other runes that you are allowed.

To equip them, once you have reached Level 10 (they will not show up before then) and purchased one from the store, head to your Profile page, then the Rune tab. Left click on the one you want, and move it to the Quintessences section.


How to earn and use Riot Points

Riot Points are important in League of Legends as they are the premium currency, largely relegated to being purchased with real money.

There are, however, a few ways to earn them for free:

At Level 3, you are given 400 Riot Points.

If you refer other players to League of Legends, you receive Riot Points as part of your milestone rewards.

Sometimes Riot Points are given out at particular holidays.

If you are happy to pay for your Riot Points, remember that the more you buy, the more economical the purchase is. So each Riot Point gets cheaper as you buy more in one go.

Riot Points are used to purchase certain exclusive items, such as skins for your champions. There is no performance boost here, so you don't need to worry about rich players owning the battlefield.

With that said, the best champions are more expensive in terms of Influence Points, and take a long time to unlock, but they are feasible to purchase using Riot Points instead.

Riot Points are also used to buy boosts, for XP and IP. These are a good idea if you want to reach Level 30 as quickly as possible with less effort than everyone else.

TIP: Try waiting for a sale, as many items that you would have to buy with Riot Points will have 50% off at this point.


Setting Up Hotkeys

Making sure you have all the hotkeys that you need set up is vital for succeeding at League of Legends. The best way to get them organized is to play a Practice match. Press Escape, then go to your key bindings menu. From here you can assign hotkeys and practice with them to make sure they are practical in combat.


How to Earn Influence Points

Influence Points are used to purchase many items from the Riot Store. While there's no easy way to earn them, they are accumulated as you play, regardless of whether you win or lose. Obviously the best way to earn Influence Points is to win, and in as quick a time as possible.

You will want to make sure you get the first win of the day bonus as often as you can, this will give you a significant lift. You could also buy an IP Boost using Riot Points. Bear in mind that playing PvP rather than against Bots will always give you more IP also.


Leveling Up

To level up in League of Legends you should treat it like a MOBA, and not an MMORPG. What is meant by this is that you should primarily just play your favorite mode as much as possible if you want to level up quickly, rather than trying to grind your way through them.

You can invest in a XP Boost and then play with a friend - this is a sure-fire way to move through the ranks quickly, and without tedious grinding.
