Younger bro and his bros are tryingto get into it , I'm not sure if any are not total shit, so I'm not sure why they chose this but whatevs. I've played a liiiiiitle LoL so I kinda know the very basics but that's it.

Any decent guides that aren't extremely basic tutorials or too advanced/build/hero based?

I'm thinking of running with Lion since he seems straightforward and helpful, and like in a pinch I could use him to solo mid lane and learn that.

This guide is old but it's still a good starting point:

Lion isn't really a great mid hero btw.

Yeah I read that and a couple other basic ones, learned some shit. I know Lion isn't meant for mid but in the low levels we'll be playing I've heard he could be just fine at it, at least up to try out and learn that role a bit before I learn another hero. I'm not planning to use him specifically for mid, probably a support role, but like I said I'm pretty sure these kids all are noobs and we won't even get into proper roles yet.

If you're going to play support the other thing I'd say is to find a good guide to warding/ward spots.

Otherwise once you have the basics, which will put you ahead of a surprisingly large % of the playerbase, practice helps more than any guide.

Yeah that is one thing I definitely don't fully get, I just know they help vision. Thanks dogg ill run a couple games against bots tonight. Any good beginner heroes? I might be needing to pick up some slack for my team.

Lich, DK, Viper, Sven, Warlock, Zeus, Troll Warlord, Lion, Wraith King, and Juggernaut are some that immediately spring to mind as fairly noob friendly.

Dota 2 seems like retarded shit.

I know from experience that TF2 and Left 4 Dead are shit.

WTF happened to the Valve of half life and Portal? They seem just as greedy and cynical as Blizzard or EA now.

TF2 is not shit, man wtf. It's honestly my favorite FPS, simple and fast with enough depth to make strategy and teamwork interesting.

Dota is great for what it is, but that style MOBA isn't really my thing.

Starcraft sequels suck. Diablo 3 sucks.
