@Kidavenger: @TomA: Okay, stay out of the middle lane. I always go to the middle lane so maybe that doesn't exactly help... I'll give Nassus a try too.
And I know what a jungler is, just not what a ward is.
This is kind of a problem for new people.
I see posts along the line of "Hey I just got started, do you guys have any tips" and people immediately start talking about high level meta game stuff. As a newbie the main thing is (as TomA mentioned) learn to last hit. No matter what character you play (supports excluded, but that doesn't matter until you get into higher level where people follow the meta) last hitting is important. If you go 0-5 but have more minion kills then who you are against you can always catch up. If you are relying on killing other champs to get your money and you fall behind you are basically screwed. So yeah, last hitting.
Until you hit around Summoner level 8-10 I recommend just playing against bots, and with friends if possible. Also as a newbie I would say stick with ranged characters until you get used to get used to the interface and learn the items.
I've also found watching live-streams to be equally helpful and dangerous. You can almost always find a pro player streaming games (check solomid.net and clgaming.net for stream lists) but unless you know the lingo and understand the meta that can be overwhelming. If you choose to watch some streams GuardsmanBob and SaintVicious are two of my favorites.
Other than that just don't let people get you down. MOBA's are surprisingly complicated and that shit takes time to figure out. Just stick with it and try to learn from your mistakes. Once you know what is going on I've found LoL to be one of the most rewarding multiplayer games I've played in a long while.
