League of Legends har ry for at være et enormt svært spil at lære, og det har blandt andet noget at gøre med, at spillets tutorial mildest talt er elendig. Det har udviklerne også selv erkendt, og det agter de nu at gøre noget ved, blandt andet ved at indføre såkaldte Intro Bots, som nybegyndere kan øve sig mod.
På spillets webside skriver udviklerne blandt andet:
<i>"With Intro Bots, we're aiming for a more approachable difficulty that gives all new players a manageable first experience. At the same time, we've designed many features to be dynamic based on a player's performance so the mode isn't a pushover - players quickly performing appropriate actions and behaving like an advanced player will see fewer helpful features and lightly amped-up difficulty. Novice players should be able to enjoy several games of Intro Bots and steadily learn the basics, while more advanced ones will quickly grasp the essentials and move on to greater challenges in other modes."
"Instead of broad, imprecise goals, we want to provide incremental steps towards power and success, which led directly to the personal quests feature in Intro Bots. Personal quests seek to provide useful, immediately relevant goals that can help new players get a feel for the rhythm of a typical League game, which includes unintuitive things like leaving the battle to go back to base. Since these quests are contextually triggered based on what a player is doing (or not doing), they're always relevant to his or her situation."
Riot har i øvrigt flere tiltag planlagt for at gøre League of Legends mere begyndervenligt, skriver de, og Intro Bots er altså kun det første i rækken.
