I've only been playing for a couple weeks and I'm a hell of a lot better than day 1 but still not that great. The best way to get better is to just play lots of games and probably lose lots of games. I highly recommend you go with friends/southperrians that have experience and they are on their smurfs (common term for mules/alts/low level chars). That way you'll fight players around your same level/experience but your friends will have much more game experience and be able to carry you.
As for starting characters, I think AD carrys are the easiest to get used to and teach you the most game mechanics that are essential at the beginning. They're the characters that are really squishy but do the most damage. In low level games you can be bad and still win as one which is fine. As for which ones I would recommend trying out
- Tristana: You can get her for free by 'liking' LoL facebook and linking your account.
- Ashe: She's really cheap to buy. Only downside is her base stats are really bad at the beginning but that's fine for just learning
- Miss Fortune: She's free this week so you can play her for about 6 more days before you'd have to buy her to play her
Just play lots of games and you'll be fine. The main concept for most champions that you'll hear of is "last hitting" which will get easier as you level up as you'll understand how your champion works + your base stats will be higher compared at level 20+ to level 10-
Playing the game with friends is what really makes the game fun. If you go with randoms, lots of times your team will have a rager who blames you for everything when they're actually the worse player on the team. Only reason they think they're not playing so bad is when the rager does win, it's because they got carried.
