    The recipe is simple attracting naive people with an addictive character-unlocking system and bring them to play the exact same games over and over until they think they are having fun. This lobotomized community is the biggest pain in the ass I've seen in an online game, and I saw a lot of online game communities.
    If you are a kid or a desperate virgin though, you may be able like all the half-naked characters this greedy development team release and the expensive skins they sell to make them even more naked.

    League of Legends is the actual plague of online games, and more generally, of the whole gaming. A lot of online communities are now invaded by people who barely know how to play video games and who always choose the easy way to win the games they play. This "the easier the better" way of "gaming" is spreading and killing the real, good gaming.

    if you have a gamer's soul and a minimum of critical spirit and taste, stay far from this game, you don't wanna mess with it.

    Overall it is fun, but Riot has turned to the darkside. This is obvious by the many posts on the forums reporting bugs or massive problems that Riot fails to recognize. It is not us silly player simply reinstall your game which rarely if ever fixes anything. They released an ARAM map which most new computers have FPS fluxes and massive lag that is only fixed by toning down the graphics. In all honesty Riot simply does not know how to optimize a game.

    There are countless bugs on champ release dates and old bugs resurface which in all honest makes me believe that the PBE server is just for making sure the new champ is powerful enough to drain the wallets of players.

    Riot is a bunch of greedy Champions used to be 6300 which if you played solidly each month you could have the new champ by release if you wanted. Now they are 7800 and drop back down after a week. This was simply a ploy by Riot to get more money which I am sure they are doing.

    Riot works in 3 steps.

    1)Relase OP Champ
    2) Profit
    3)Nerf champ into ground

    Morello is a joke. He is the head designer and main balance king and he is not even out of Silver. He is just an average joe. Why is he in charge of anything?

    The fact they built this on Adobe Air is retarded. The first lesson I learned in school and college when taking App design classes was Adobe Air is don't use it AT ALL.

    To address the kids who say this game is Pay 2 Win. You are right. Kids who say it is not. Get Riots sack out of your mouth. I will break it down simply for you to show you how it is Pay 2 Win.

    There are 2 friends Mike and Joe. Mike has disposable income/Parents Credit Car and Joe barely makes rent/is Kenny McCormick

    They both are still able to play the same amount of games.

    Mike is able to buy EXP boosts and IP boosts as well as new champs on release, while Joe can only use IP to get champs.

    Very quickly Mikes champ pool is huge as he has been able to use all IP on runes for his Rune pages while Joe doesn'thave a single page full of runes and only a few champs that he loves that have been nerfed and are no longer viable that he spent IP on.

    Mike is already at a huge advantage to every other person like Joe who plays the game. It is very close to how professional sports are. More the best things. Which is why pro sports are somewhat stale.

    THis game used to be fun but in short the game is too big for Riots britches and it is going to hell very quickly. Client is garbage and Riot is just exploiting their Players.

    What is this? Riot is bringing back the rare X-MAS and Halloween Skins? I WONDER WHY!? TO MAKE MORE MONEY

    Riot go yourselves. People of the Meta stay away from this game. Play anything else. FPS, DOTA2, Women, anything is worth your time more so than LoL.

    Also as already stated the community is full of testicleless teens who will report you if your so much as pinch them and hurt their fragile feelings    … Expand

Due do these being directly caused by having connected with this game I am lead only to believe that my life is made worse for having it involved what so ever. In the event that I return it would be under much deliberation and much regret. Your network is flawed and audible communications and contracts have nearly damned me a second time over, my religion has been shaken and it has nothing to do with your characters. I have lost my language because of this interaction and I am furious that I happened to decide to be involved with you in the first place. To assume that I or anyone related to me is honored, or otherwise not insulted or dishonored by the society involved in this game is a disgrace of my personal and all integrity involved. Delete my account or I will be forced to take action in various ways. Delete my account for the sake of your honor, as it has stripped me of yet another leg to my spider, rendered me incapable of flying etc. If my contract survives and I am not rebirthed by the graces of God then I have nothing to say and it will never be enough.… Expand

Oh they also decided to restructure the servers and increased the ping on the west coast on average by 50ms, and when i was playing at my peak in skill. I could do things with 15ms on characters like "Ezreal" and "Lee Sin", that just are not humanly possible on 70ms. That is another issue. There is so many god damn cheaters on this game now. Leaguesharp and Bot of Legends had an estimated 300,00 combined global users. The camera is too zoomed in and I miss using able to use a zoomhack to actually now feel cross eyed after i play this game. I have to squint to actually see my character nowadays since my eyes have suffered from 5 years of Computer Addiction.

    Okay is just boils down to this. The problem is this "game" is incredibly addicting and once you try out all the unique characters and pull off all the possible plays. Their is just nothing left. It's rinse and repeat. None of the games ever matter what so ever. Just playing this game is illogical, Dota 2 is a far more dynamic complex game with a skill ceiling out of this game's league. If i wasn't so invested in this game. I would of quit back in 2012 before I got addicted to the illusion of progressive that only this game can offer so frequently.

    This isn't a game, it's a sport. It's not fun. You're not a legend, unless you can play in master league in the first year of playing. If you can't hit this peak in skill. There is absolutely no point in playing even if you like this game. Your holding back the potential you have as a human being too evolve. Also the company who owns this game, happens to be the richest game corporation in communist China. They also are currently putting there final touches on a system that punishes free speaking chinese people by monitoring online activity directly restricts rights and imposes a natural inconveniece of lifestyle.

    Tldr; This game is the epitome of Evil

    League of Legends is an okay game, but it really doesn't excel at anything at all, except for it's marketing.

    I have played the game for about 3 years now (climbed my way to the rank of Gold 2), and I finally uninstalled it a few months ago with no intentions of returning. It is an excellent time sink if you have literally no other game to play. I've played for hundreds of hours solo and with friends, and wasted plenty of money on useless cosmetic skins (protip: do not do this ever, it is a slippery slope.) I have a few friends who justify spending upwards of 20 dollars just to change the clothes their champions are wearing. Many of these microtransactions are completely ridiculous and overpriced, yet Riot seems to get away with it since their playerbase doesn't seem to care in the slightest.

    Furthermore, in recent additions to the game, not only did they increase the base IP(points that you gain through playing the game that can be spent on unlocking champions) that new champions cost, they made the past five or six champions incredibly overpowered. I speculate that this chain of events took place in order to drive up their sales by forcing people to either use almost 10 hours worth of IP to unlock the champion, or shell out about 10 bucks to unlock the champion. Whether or not this was their intention, this practice seems exploitative of the consumers, as by the time these champions drop in price they have been through several nerfs and revisions that make them far less powerful.

    Overall, as a consumer I can not recommend this game to anyone. It's guise of free-to-play comes with caveats, the community as a whole is incredibly rude and unwelcoming, and the gameplay is a bit shallow, with it's strict, repetitive metagame that Riot encourages players to follow to a T.

    Credit where it is due, though, I have not really experienced too many game breaking glitches, and matchmaking is OK at best. However, due to the lack of perceivable fun in the game, I have decided to score it thusly.    … Expand

The lower tier champions (e.g. Urgot, Atrox, and Teemo) are almost unplayable in a competitive environment. They frequently blow champions out of proportion when they buff them. Every patch, there are must-pick champions. Farming enough points to purchase them is beyond tedious. I think it took me a month of persistent farming to have enough for a ‘tier 1’ champion.

    The community is trash. The players are homogeneously obnoxious and stubborn 12 year olds, and communicating with them is exasperating. The lower bracket is littered with afks, laggers, and leavers. Dota 2 amazingly has a better community. Rarely ever do I meet flamers.

Despite the free to play nature, myself and pretty much everyone I know who plays has spent a lot of money on the game because the game keeps you hooked and the skins are really high quality. You can blow entire weekends trying out new builds and new starts on new champions, or hone your craft and perfect a single champion.

    Giving this a zero though because in around 2015 a new design team took over. Since then the game has been getting worse and worse every year. I used to look forward to patch notes but now reading them makes me cringe. The game used to be almost perfectly balanced in 2014 but since then the balance team his been feeding us balance roulette. They intentionally ruin the game in order to "shake up the competitive scene". Every change to a game should be to make it better but Riot even admitted in their own words that they do "change for the sake of change".

    Needless to say the community got sick of Riots **** real fast so what does Riot do? They stop releasing their player numbers. Riot continued to ruin the game for another couple years till the point where their forums were filled with nothing but angry and negative posts. So what does Riot do? They remove their own forums. Now if you want to give feedback you do it on reddit. If the post is about esports or a highlight clip it is instantly taken down, including any and all discussion about the actual game, leaving Riot in their own echo chamber.

    Every single new champion in the past 3 years has been just terrible. Ability descriptions used to be a sentence or two but on "Modern" league champs they span entire essays. Of course they're incredibly overpowered and they receive back to back nerfs for 6 months straight until they get to a point where they're statically balanced but still incredibly frustrating to play againt.

    If you want to know about the current state of League just go to twitch and open any league stream. There was always toxic streamers but now every streamer can't help themselves but criticize the game and the developers. Even casters from live tournament games drop a load on the developers whenever they think they can get away with it, it's gotten that bad.

    So here's a zero. I give the lowest score because the current design team were handed a great game, and continue to do nothing but ignore feedback and make it worse every single year.    … Expand

No, it was not those mountain of reasons why I ultimately quit the game. Surprising, no?

    The reason why I ultimately quit the game was in soloq my personal experience with the awful, atrocious, horrendous, grotesque, abysmal, disgusting, cancerous, malignant, vomit-inducing, wretched abomination that they call the match making system, and the incompetent, ape-like, borderline retarded people that would have the audacity to put such a system out there, call it "match making", and not feel the deepest soul-crushing shame to the point of suicidal thoughts as a result of the job they did. THAT is what made me give up on the game. When it got to the point where 95% of my soloq matches in blind, draft, even aram eventually became the epitome of what I would call "horribly not-fun", THAT is why I quit this god awful game, and you should too, or at least NOT consider playing it. ALL the money you spend, ALL the time and effort you spend is basically wasted unless maybe you can get to the very high tier such as master where I see people have to wait 5+ minutes for a game plenty of times. Are you ready to sink that amount of time, effort, and money to maybe have a chance at a decently enjoyable playing experience more then maybe half the time? Then try this game out.

    Answer this question: Is a 50% win rate really a 50 win rate, if you have to bust your balls and "scrape dog meat off the streets to survive" type of effort into every blood, sweat, and tears game that you win, every small win steak that you gave yourself heart palpitations to achieve, just to have IT ALL WIPED OUT, by a string of games that happens more often then your win streaks, given to you by the matchmaking where you have quitters, afks, laggers/dc's, horribly toxic aholes, completely screwed up matchups, lopsided skill/ranking matchups (I had bronzes and silvers on my team vs golds and plats as an example) and it seems to get more and more constant the more time and money you put into the game? As a sort of "F YOU" to you for spending time and money on their game, compliments riot? If you like the sound of that, give this game a try! Otherwise, avoid this game like it is cancer, aids, and ebola combined.

    Go over to Dota 2, enjoy having the full compliment of heroes available so your money is spent on aesthetics as it should be, know that you have an at least half-competent game design and development company on your side so you wont be screwed by horrible balance, horrible designs, horrible metas and meta shifts, horrible matchmaking, horrible servers etc. etc. I could go on and on.

    This game isn't the best, it isn't the worst. Their engine isn't the best, nor is their graphics quality, or their business model.

I question this, as I play intensive graphics games, with very low loading time in comparison to this game. Their business model is probably one of the worst when it comes to F2P. It's simply a Pay to Win game. I can't put it any other way possible. Sure they have 10 free champions a week, but that's near nothing to what they have. All of the pros seemingly have spent a lot of money into this game, but they got there, not only because of their skill, but because of the money they spent. When it first came out, I'm sure it was great. I honestly wasn't there at the time. However, to these standards of today, it simply doesn't reach standards. Sure there are those people who absolutely love this game, but this game isn't simply for me. This game is too casual, unless of course you go to ranked (that's where they teach you how to be douches), for my liking. Everyone has their likes and dislikes, this is simply one of my dislikes. If you want a high quality game, I suggest looking at DotA 2, however it does have it's downsides in Low Priority.… Expand

He has also left a few games voluntarily. After the my first leave because of the internet I received a level one leaver penalty. I e-mailed Riot about it and was told nothing could be done about it. The next day I queued for a game with my boyfriend, the game crashed on the loading screen for both of us. We both then relogged, and finished the game. Afterwards I received a notice stating that my account was banned for a day, yet my boyfriend has received nothing.
    No level one penalty or anything. I once again e-mailed Riot and was told nothing could be done about it and that an automated system was the one that sent out the bans and penalties.
    The game is fun, but under no circumstance would I waste money on a game that would ban me for it crashing, or on a game that does not distribute these bans evenly if that is how they choose to operate their systems.

You can't have a competitive game if the creator cycles the "free" part every week, leaving players who don't want to donate hundrets of dollars unable to compete in fair conditions. Each player is literally forced to pay each month just to keep what he or she had last week. Another very simple trick: release a new champion, just like one of the old ones, but with much better stats.

    It doesn't have the deepness of dota, there are no "special" mechanics, player doesn't make as many meaningful decisions as he or she does in dota. This is, probably, a good thing, there're not so many gamechanging things happening overall. You can't fail hard, you can't win big - some people will like this, but I don't.

    Visual aspect is, probably, individual, but if you're not an anime/cartoon lover you'll probably like dota2's graphics more. Just google up some screenshots and compare. Movies are insanely good - they probably costed more than the whole game itself, quality level is totally not the same.

    I love the genre - don't get me wrong, any game in that genre already has to get a solid mark from me. But the issue with that one in particular is about the people running it. You'll never find anyone that greedy in gamedev at all. Not even Bliz who asks like 100$ for each expansion. Not even EA, or any other "pay 2 win" / "same old **** for 50$". People in the lead of riot did certain actions to destroy a few of the existing communities - some people are simply dangerous if they get the money - so please do NOT pay. Not to mention how well they "synthesize" numbers - pretty sure that is one of the main focus for them - to generate a ****load of "virtual" players/viewers.    … Expand

Remember many different old assassins like Fizz, LB, AP Master Yi, Shaco and many more that you loved? When tanks were actually tanks? Remember the flexibility when you had many fun with possibility of going full ap or ad on the same character (like old Master Yi and Ezreal) because we had many hybrid champs.
    Do you remember? Yes? Now **** you because Riot Games doesnt allow any fun in games - we remowed everything fun and good you had. Now we will be telling all of our players how they should play every champ, what items you should buy (because basicaly there is no real options of what you can buy, each game you buy all the same items on the same character). Tanks cant go old good 700 armor and become mobile tower. All old champions (espeshially assassins) are nerfed so that they wont do any damage. Tons of CC, every second character have skills with stun or grab effect. Why you need skill when you can have eternal stun until you die because you cant do **** at all.
