Battle Training - Summoner's Rift
In November 2010, it was announced that Riot had been working on a new comprehensive tutorial. This tutorial would explain the elements of the game in a much more in-depth way, allowing the player to learn while they play. It sets a series of simple quests on Summoner's Rift for the player to complete, from buying items to killing neutral camps.[1]
On this tutorial the player is taken through various steps of the champion selecting process, which the player may choose from three champions:
, , and . The player is then placed with 4 bots in the blue team (these bots are always the same: goes top, goes mid, while and go bot), while the enemy bots are , , , , and . Throughout the tutorial, the player learns concepts such as:- Map awareness
- Last hitting
- Ultimates & Passives (Innates)
- Jungle monsters
- Lane names (top, mid, bot)
- Basics about turrets (aggro pertaining to champions and minions)
- How to win
Additionally, the player is given quests which are unique to the Battle Training and are not seen in normal games. These quests include clearing monster camps, killing minions, destroying all turrets in a lane, and destroying inhibitors. The player earns additional gold from completing these quests.
In the Battle Training, turrets have lower health than in normal games. The outer turrets have the same amount of health as turrets in a typical game, but the deeper one goes into enemy teritory, the progressively lower turret health becomes, down to 525 on the nexus turrets. The health totals of the inhibitors and the nexus are unchanged.
The tutorial gives your champion 15 bonus attack damage, 30 bonus ability power, 25 bonus armor, and 31 bonus magic resist in addition to runes and masteries.
If you lose the Battle Training, the game will end, but there will be no Continue Button, making it impossible to close the game by internal means.
