Step 1. Connect your Xbox Controller to your PC. If you have a wireless controller, you will need to purchase a wireless receiver. I found one for around 5 bucks, so take a good look around.
Here's a decent link to one from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Pc-Gaming-Receiver-Xbox-xbox360/dp/B0076HD2W8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373838576&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+wireless+gaming+receiver+pc. If you have a wired controller, you can probably just plug it in and go to step 2.
Step 2. Download the necessary drivers for your gamepad. For the Xbox 360 Controller, you will want this: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows.
You should be able to establish a connection to your computer. If not, for Windows 7, press Start, right-click Computer, click manage, go to Device Manager, then to Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. You should be able to select the proper driver here. Try a quick youtube search if you need help (that's what I did originally).
Now, on to the good stuff.

Step 3.[/B ]Download Joytokey to key from here: http://www-en.jtksoft.net/download. This is the software you'll be using to actually transmit your gamepad controls to keyboard and mouse commands. When you get it, make sure you place the executable and configuration files in a write-able location. That means, make sure the folder they're in is not "read only." Right click the folder and click properties to make sure. Otherwise, your configurations won't save.
Now, open it (it only opens if your controller is connected) and go to Others. It's a sideways tab that's on the right side of the window. Make sure that "Use Axes other than X or Y" and "Use POV switches" are checked. This will add in a few controls we'll need.
Step 4. Get the proper controls set up. Here is a link to my .cfg file that you can drop directly into your JoytoKey install folder: http://www.2shared.com/file/AmlL6M3T/Xbox_League_of_Legends_Edition.html. Check step 6 if you would prefer to not use mine.
Step 5. Understand the controls. This step will assume you're using my configuration. If the .cfg file didn't work, you can read this to at least set it up the way I did. Here are what the buttons do:
A = Q
X = W
Y = E
B = R
Left trigger = Right click
Right trigger = Left click
(sounds confusing but as a right-handed person it makes sense to me)
Left bumper is D summoner, right bumper is F summoner.
Select is control so I can level up skills by holding select + button. If you end up running out of buttons you can probably remap this one, since you can just click to level up.
Left analog stick controls mouse. I have my sensitivity for each direction set to 75, but you can adjust to your liking. Pushing in left stick is S (stop for csing).
Everything is smartcasted on my game to ensure ease of casting.
Up on d-pad is basing. Down on d-pad is Item Slot 1. Since the Xbox controller's d-pad is so inaccurate to control, make sure you place the most important item on down.
Pushing in right stick shows me the scoreboard.
I always have used locked camera (guilty as charged), but I'm sure that you could make unlocked camera work with some effort. You could always remap pushing in right stick to locking/unlocking the camera if that's your thing.
Disclaimer: I do not have right stick (not pushing it) mapped to anything. That means that if you want a less sensitive cursor to use just in case, or want to map a few more commands (ctrl+4, anyone?) feel free to.
Step 6. Customize! Make sure it's set to your preferences. Here's what all of the buttons are named.
Left Thumbstick Left = AxisX(<0)
Left Thumbstick Right = AxisX(>0)
Left Thumbstick Up = AxisY(<0)
Left Thumbstick Down = AxisY(>0)
Right Trigger = Axis3(<0)
Left Trigger = Axis3(>0)
Right Thumbstick Left = Axis4(<0)
Right Thumbstick Right = Axis4(>0)
Right Thumbstick Up = Axis5(<0)
Right Thumbstick Down = Axis5(>0)
Directional Pad Up = POV1:UP
Directional Pad Right = POV1:RIGHT
Directional Pad Down = POV1:DOWN
Directional Pad Left = POV1:LEFT
A = Button 1
B = Button 2
X = Button 3
Y = Button 4
Left Bumper = Button 5
Right Bumper = Button 6
Back/Select = Button 7
Start = Button 8
Left Thumbstick = Button 9
Right Thumbstick = Button 10
Step 7. Enjoy! Lay back on the couch and play some League. Take a break from sitting in your computer chair, play a bot game for your first win, or make League a fun new experience again!
Please post any comments, questions, or snide remarks below and I will try to get back to you. I hope that you give it a try (at least in a bot game) for fun!
TL;DR You use the left analog stick to move the mouse, the triggers for the mouse clicks, the main 4 buttons for your QWER, and more. I recommend smartcasting for optimum usage, as well as locked camera for simplicity.
