That's a shame, because the depth level and variety of the genre is absolutely amazing once you get to know it.

1) Read a few guides and play against bots to learn the basics stress-free offline. Whenever you can beat the bots, you're ready to go online.

2) Do not play All Pick if you solo queue.

3) Be a nice dude throughout the game, and ask other nice people from your team to play again. Add them to your friends list, and after not long you'll have 1-3 guys to queue with most games, which helps a lot.

Thank you all for the great responses. I'm looking forward to see how it all works out.
