Introduction
Your W ability is Volley. Volley shoots multiple arrows in a cone in front of you. These arrows deal a high amount of damage and automatically apply the slowing affect from Frost Shot. You max this ability first, because it deals a great amount of damage. You should use this skill as often as possible when you are fighting.
Your E ability is Hawkshot. Hawkshot fires a hawk spirit in a straight line over a very long distance. This hawk spirit does not do any damage, but it temporarily allows you to see into the Fog of War where it is flying. It reveals units that it flies over that would otherwise be invisible to you. This ability is useful for scouting and getting an idea of where the enemy is. Hawkshot also has a passive effect that grants you a small bit of extra gold for each unit you kill.
Your R ability is your ultimate skill, Enchanted Crystal Arrow. This ability fires a giant arrow in the direction you aim it. The arrow does not stop flying until it hits an enemy champion, meaning you could shoot someone with it from the other side of the map if you aim it well. Upon hitting an enemy champion, the arrow deals a very low amount of damage. But the damage is not what we're after with this spell. Whoever is hit by the arrow will be stunned, meaning they can not move, attack, use abilities or do anything at all. This can last for up to 3.5 seconds, depending on how far the arrow traveled. This may not seem like a lot, but in League of Legends, 3.5s is a huge amount of time to be unable to do anything at all. More than enough time for your team to jump on the target and kill it before it can even try to defend itself. Level this ability every time you can, at levels 6, 11, and 16.
Your Passive ability is Focus. A passive ability is an ability that you do not need to activate. It is automatically working on you at all times. While out of combat, your critical strike chance slowly increases. A critical strike is when your regular attack deals double damage. Your critical strike chance could build all the way up to 100% if this ability charges long enough, ensuring your next attack to deal double damage. Don't wait around for it if you are in a fight though. It's more for dealing a bit of extra damage at the very beginning.
But anyways, back to the runes. To purchase runes, go to the shop and click on the runes tab to the left. There are three tiers of runes. I would recommend buying Tier 3 runes right from the start. Lower tier runes are just a waste of your IP, and tier 3 runes are the most powerful by far. Most runes will be only 205 IP each, except for the quintessences, which are 1025 each. Thankfully, you will be buying the one at a time until you are leve 30. You should have plenty of IP to get these with. Buy the Tier 3 versions of the runes listed above. An easy way to find them is to type the name into the search bar. You can't get all of them right now though. Each time your summoner level increases, you gain another slot to put a rune in.
Just to be absolutely clear, once you are level 30 and have all of the runes you need, you should have:
9 Greater Marks of Attack Damage
9 Greater Seals of Armor
9 Greater Glyphs of Scaling Magic Resist
3 Greater Quintessences of Attack Damage
Yes, you do need to have 9 copies of each type of rune, except for the quintessences, which only need 3. One of each rune wont cut it. Once you have 9 (or 3) of each of these runes in your rune page, their combined bonuses will make you extremely strong. Don't forget to select your rune page in the champion select screen before battle, so you can have all of those bonuses equipped!
Most farming occurs early in the game, when you generally don't have tons of items. You should focus on killing as many minions as possible to make more money, because without money, you wont get the items you need, and without those items, you will just suck. So farming is important.
You have to be careful though. Just whacking minions doesn't give you money. You have to land the killing blow to get the gold from a minion. A very easy way to do this is to sit and wait for an enemy minions health to drop. When it's health has gotten low, just right click on it and shoot it down for the kill, and the cash.
