After playing some custom bot matches and experimenting with a few champions, I plonked down some IP and RP to get Annie and Nunu, having much better luck with the latter. So feeling apprehensive I joined a Co-OP vs Bot match which lasted about 46 minutes with me at 12 kills, 1 death and 6 assists, which I was really pleased with. Comms in game was minimal even when I wasn't sure what a blue buff was and why I should get it.

It was great fun and I think I played Nunu to his strengths, making sure to stick Blood Boil on Ashe whenever we were in the same lane together. I ran top for most of the game but moved to some other lanes when I saw the enemy champs trying to gank. With my ultimate I managed to bag a couple double kills as well. I could see the benefit of Ashe being close by to finish off runners.

A few days later I went to join another Co-op vs Bot only to have someone else pick Nunu before me. I didn't feel comfortable taking another champ into the game, so left and quickly learned about the Leaver penalty and time-out! :)

In the post-game chat room the player running Ashe complimented me on a good game and honoured me. Not knowing at that time what to do, I couldn't return the honour, but I now know for next time.
