Good guide for a newbie such as myself. The question is where to move from here?

I think I'm not bad at the game (about 50-60% win), but sometimes I lose the point on what my team is trying to achieve. I use quite a lot the ALT+Click to say (hey, I'm going there!), but sometimes I feel the team is doing something important and I'm not in the fire.

A guide about following what happens at the game would be great.

Edit: I just found this very useful for what I meant. I think it's worth reading after this one:

Nice little beginner's guide here! Very good point on the net-builds. Builds are based off of a certain style of play, so don't be surprised if the rank 1 streamer net-build isn't working out for you! That doesn't mean give up on net-builds. maybe try some others, but look in to the abilities and figure out what you are trying to accomplish.

Another point I think is really important here is to pay attention to the map and stay alive. Staying alive plays a bigger part than a lot of people think. Be mindful of attacking, but always ready too book it. paying attention to the map can give you a huge advantage to surviving potential ganks.

Challenging yourself is always a good idea with anything if you want to get better as well. Nice post, Payce.
