Although I do know "QQ" originates from pressing alt-q-q to exit WC3.
Here something I wrote on another forum for an overview:
Im down to only 3700 RP after buying an EZ skin I was at like 4250 or somat beforeLeague of Legends (LoL) is a combined RTS (real time strategy), RPG (role playing game), and MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), based on DotA (Defense of the Ancients) for Warcraft 3.
LoL is a competitive online game set in an imaginative world with you, the player, taking control of a powerful magical character known as a Summoner. Each Summoner must participate in session based battles and control Champions to achieve victory and advance their persistent character. Best of all, the game is completely 100% FREE! You can play the game completely competitively without ever paying a cent. You can opt to pay money for skins or experience boosts, but paying money will give you no performance boosts whatsoever. (So you don't have to play to win)
The game play is fairly similar to PVP in most online MMO's - but your character is non persistent (you re-rank each game - apart from a master rank and some other features) and doesn't have as many options as a typical PVP character. Instead, variety is provided by the 50ish champions, each with unique abilities, skills, and skins. There are a number of champions on a free rotation, and you can permanently unlock them with IP (Influence Points) which are earned by playing the game.
You can download the game here:

While you download, take some time to read through the tutorials here:
www.leagueoflegends.com/learn/new_user_guide
And general Information here:
www.leagueoflegends.com/learn
Once you start playing, play the tutorial. Then play some practice games and solo que at your level - this way you will be playing people of your own skill level instead of jumping right into play with other more experienced players and getting, well, pwned. If you can find other players from twisted who are also starting out, you can jump into games with them by adding them to your friends list, but you'll still be playing at your skill level. This game DOES have a skill curve, particularly if you haven't played any RTS or MMO games before, but is still easily learn-able and wickedly fun and addictive.
