So, It's 2018. Is it STILL a good idea to play?

Hey,

New here and it's cool there is a LoL section. I haven't played it before due to scheduling, but my new job will afford me a decent amount of time to look into different games.

My question is: Is there any benefit/disadvantage to starting LoL right now?

Example: New player bonus, gameplay changes that have made it hard/easier, etc

I'm on my way home now and plan one binge watching tutorial videos for the next 12 hours until my weekend actually starts. :poop: :disgusting:
