There's a definitely a learning curve, but Riot has significantly improved the early-game experience. The new tutorial is actually helpful and the bots are marginally less drain-dead.
Honestly, the most important skill for people to learn early game is how to last-hit minions without pushing your lane towards the enemy tower. Initially it will seem counter-intuitive because keeping the enemy huddled under their tower will make you feel like you're "winning" but it actually makes you VERY susceptible to someone walking up from behind and killing you. Start a practice game and try limiting yourself to one auto-attack per minion and see how much gold you can get.
