    Graphics: 7/10 (not that great, not horrible either)
    Gameplay: 9/10 (mostly balanced, enjoyable & easy enough to grasp for beginners)
    Community: 7/10 (common to have dropouts, occasional abuse but still better than HON)

    overall 8/10

    Love the game. Best MOBA out there, the only negative is the community, but all online games are going that way. No other game leads the Esports scene as much as LoL. Look forward to seeing you on SR. Giving it a 10(would be a 9) because of all the troll 0 and 2's.

    League of Legends is possibly one of the fastest growing MMOs out on the market right now. the game plays like DOTA, (basically Tower Defense+World of Warcraft's battlegrounds in third-person over the top view).

You start out the game only using the free to play champions, which switch every week, then as you play more games, level up and gather IP (in game currency), you can afford to buy the champs that appeal to you the most. The game features some of the most strategic and cooperative gameplay on the market, featuring 5v5, 3v3 normal, and draft modes (banning champs, strategic team compositions, ect), as well as 3v3 and 5v5 ranked game modes which can be accessed once reaching the highest level (level 30). Reaching top level will take you on average of about a months worth of play, and unlocking runes, building mastery pages, and buying champions will take you even longer. One of the most fun and addicting games out now, definitely has a learning curve (which isn't bad), and has potential to be one of the better or best MMO on the market.… Expand

I don´t hold riot games for that. Graphics are good, i´d even say for an moba game they are very good. Champion pool is very solid and creativity is the key. Some hardcore dota fan´s believe Dota 2 is only game worth playing because it was made by the author. League of Legends was made by person who made most popular variation of Dota. Dota all-stars. For a person who has played all "competive" Moba games out there, league of legends is only one that actually counts.
    This game is very easy to start. Make an account, download client, download game with client, update and fire it up. Game itself is very easy to learn, but it´s impossible to master. You can make mistakes, you can lose, you can get better, you have a choice to play this game for free without being in handicap position. You can pay for gadgets, but it´s not must and paying for anything in this game does not make you better. I give this game 9. For overall layout, for Riot games who treats their customers (Both ones who pay and who doesn´t pay) like they would own the game. They do think the players, not just wallets. Most of all, i give this game 9 because it´s awesome game. I don´t take points because part of community sucks. If i did, well all games that requires connection with other people would be deemed bad.    … Expand

    Great Game but it has 2 main Lacks

    The first lack is the balancing. There are about 90 champs now and the more champs riot makes the harder it becomes to balance the game. but they are already releasing new champions instead of focus on balancing

    the second thing is the lack of maps (3)

Bad graphics? get a better computer because you are on low settings. otherwise you are comparing them to Dota, and even still, they are at least good. a champion is underpowered or overpowered? they make it on purpose for some champions to be worse. those are for the better players. the cheap champions are for more noobish players. and in the end, that sometimes doesn't even matter, it all depends on the difficuly of mastering a champion and how good a player is. and if a pro is playing tryndamere then you should be pro enough to the point that it doesnt matter too much, from there on it is just skill. and by the way champs like taric arent mainly to battle. i saw something about buy to win and i facepalmed. you buy skins. SKINS. doesnt make a difference in gameplay. runes are ip only and if you are talking about champ then just stop being lazy and get some ip. 3 maps is by far enough in my opinion. and dont hate the game because of a bad community. i dont know about other moba games but lol is pretty awesome.… Expand

    Fun and addictive, this game will eat up a lot of your time. Only drawback is that there are quite a few unbalanced issues in the game. Riot games has been fixing up these issues quite frequently but some champions it seems that riot games favour too much and does not want to nerf making it frustrating for players to see the same champions in every match due to their "op" stance.

    This is the new king of MOBAS and will remain so for many years to come. The game always gets updated regularly and the devs are the best out there. They always interact with the community and give the players what they want. There is also a bunch of tournament and an enormous e-sport scene for this game which makes it all that much exciting and fun to watch and play.

    The Game in a graphical standpoint, is relatively weaker than it's competitor DOTA 2, but has it's own style, runs smoothly and shows ques for players with relative easy and simplicity. Riot frequently updates older models and works towards a better game.

    Balancing is frequently done, and riot listens to players to an extent. They slowly but surely work towards scaling down or buffing the champions in need. Often players complain about the "OP" champions, but that is generally hype, or lack of counter knowledge. Riot can be slow with updates, and this gets frustrating for some players. Many newer players get easily beaten by the stronger champions who only have counters like team coordination and crowd control, which newer players lack.

    The latency and connection issues very infrequently occur, and when they do, they are often fixed quickly. The game is free to play to an extent, and the shop is well run, with a endgame based on rune collection, though it is pretty shallow. It is very expensive to buy skins in league, $10 each is the standard cost, but the cost can be brought down by larger purchases (ironic as that is).

    I would recommend this game to newer players of the genre to get used to last hitting and team mechanics.

    The MAIN down point of this game is that the general attitude towards other players is very negative, and trolls and unskilled players (Who the inadequate matchmaking system pairs you with) frequent the game, and disconnection is rife.    … Expand

    I have played this game over extensively and can safely say that I know the game inside and out. I've been playing it for 2 years now and have over 1000 games (which sadly equates to about a month of ACTUAL PLAY time). Thus I can adequately explain the ins and outs, the pros and cons of the game. Starting with what makes the game great, is the overall re-playability value. Anyone that greatly enjoys this game will be able to play it for years because of the constantly changing variety of characters and play style. Characters can be played a multitude of different ways, with each having their own personalized charm. Some characters are downright hilarious with how they work in game, and I can't help but laugh even after playing them for the 50th time. It is a completely free game in that any aspects of getting a "head start" do not exist no matter how much money you spend on it getting purely aesthetic skins. The free champions switch every week to allow players to try out new champions. The in game points are used to purchase champions (permanently) and runes that allow for even further customization of your play style before the game even starts. The gameplay itself is thrilling enough in that I am screaming as I run through the jungle being chased by half the enemy team for my teammates to save me.

    My favorite part of the game which I'm sure many people overlook or flat out don't have the chance to experience is how well this game can bring a group of people together. This game is a social experience and it has allowed me to socialize with friends that have gone off to colleges in far off places that I don't have the chance to see much of. Playing this game with friends is what makes league of legends one of my favorite games.

    That being said, getting to the cons of the game, if you don't have friends to play with, this game will not be as appealing to you. Me and my friends often joke about "randoms" being these horrible mindless creatures that are typically out to ruin everything, so playing with random people constantly will produce a very inconsistent experience that will probably not be enjoyed.

    Also the game has a tremendous learning curve, such that those who are just starting and have not played RTS or MOBA games before will do terribly and be discouraged because of it. Not to be taken as a light game, more on the hardcore side of games.

    This game also comes under the realm of games that gears itself towards the male gamer audience, in that the avatars of the female characters sport skimpy clothing and huge breasts, but that's just my philosophical side showing. Overall this game gets a 10 from me based on my excessive love for this game, but I am biased in that I have significant circumstances that make my game experience playing this fantastic. This game is not for everyone.    … Expand

It really does get more and more addictive and entertaining the more you play. I must say, even dota 2 started to seem a bit more interesting after playing LoL, still i sympathize with LoL much more, simply cause it has motivations, one of the things i enjoy the most is that you actually need to buy your character, not have all of them available from the very start...
    The rune and mastery systems also works for me just great because there is actually a point of leveling your summoner. I do also like the graphics much more then in dota 2 since I'm kinda an anime fan and this style is simply much more enjoyable for me. LoL is also much more newbie-friendly then dota is, it's more simple to figure out, and not that one-sided, even if your getting owned at the start of the game you can actually have a pretty nice comeback and maybe even win after it was quite obviously a lost game, in dota that's almost impossible... if you're getting owned you're getting owned for good.

This game basicly changes every 2 weeks, adds new champions, has 4 maps already (thats quite alot for a Moba) and has a great balanced champion pool, what i want to say is that there are only a few champs that are totally bad or too good. Try to balance 100+ champions, with different spells and mechanics yourself. The Matchmaking is also very good, although I don't know why most people complain here. It's a 5v5 game, where 9 other players play, there simply can't be a perfect system. One thing that I really hate about LoL and why I gave it a 9 is the toxic community.

    And now another word to LoL-DotA. Before I played LoL I played DotA alot of times. People say DotA is difficult, DotA is balanced and blah blah DotA is so friggin unbalanced. Unlike LoL there aren't equal lanes. One counters another very hard all the time and you are forced to play passive. Another aspect is the snoballing. The one dieing loses Gold all the time making it very hard to come back into the game, so basicly it's nearly impossible to win, when you lost 2 lanes. In LoL you can comeback even if you lost all your lanes, just by having a good comp or another playstyle. Now to the difficulty. DotA is nowhere more difficult than LoL is. All you have to learn is the time for stupid built-in delay, when you move and the items for the shops. And what I really really hate about DotA is the random aspect. X% chance to stun someone on items and heroes, Dodge, XX-XX damage, random runes etc. etc.. I could say pros for DotA aswell, but I won't as this review is about LoL and my opinion.    … Expand

    This is honestly one of the most addicting games I have ever played, its free, not pay to win, and is very intense. I'm surprised how many people are complaining about the graphics, they aren't half bad, and as long as a game is great, graphics shouldn't make any difference at all.

    The game is pretty good but it has a terrible community. Every step you meet a flamer. The graphics are a bit childish. I admire Riot Games for the fact that with the number of characters they managed to keep the balance. Of course there are bugs but the MOBA game does not? Overall I would recommend and I wish you well for the future.

This game has a tough learning curve however once you overcome it I can assure that you will enjoy this game. At first the game may seem incredibly dull and lacks content, however with the range of characters and situations I find in I'm strangely engrossed in this game. Personally I recommend playing this with a group of 3 to 5 friends for the maximum entertainment. The game is reasonably balanced and all champions (characters) fit a unique play style. The game also has regular updates to keep the player incised to the game. The game is free yet has a separate real money system from the in game money system. The IG currency can buy most things that real money currency can buy, excluding things like skins which are not vital. This game is far from a 'pay to win'. The experience system also stops newer players being mixed with the more experienced players. I have yet to play the 'rival' of this game DOTA 2 but to anyone reading this, stick with the game. There is no better feeling than winning on this game.… Expand

Knowing each champion's abilities gives you a huge edge in fights and their are a lot of champions. Also there is a lot of items which again takes a long time to learn what they do and which ones to buy.

    Even outside the game you can tweak your stats to optimize your attacks, defense, magic which can be quite fun. Make different builds for different champions.

    With this games depth it does bring some very p****ionate players. Some of those players can be straight up **** holes however the game does try to weed those players out. You can report them, you can judge/punish them and they often get banned. They also try to reward players who are nice to others which has removed a lot of the negative behavior.

    The game at its core is a DOTA style, "moab" 3 lanes with computer unit waves constantly coming out while the players tip the scales. Turrets to defend, objectives in the middle which give you bonuses. Killing creeps gives you gold to buy powerful items, and they also give experience which makes your champion stronger. It makes for very fun deep play that rewards teamwork and opens up some big plays and team synergy.    … Expand

    Best Moba game ever made.
    Cons: bad client (crushes often on some PCs), not a friendly community if you are bad they will let you know that but you can mute in-game chat so it's ok.
    Pros: lots of new champs every month, lots of streamers you can watch and learn, free 2 play, most played game in the world, they make a lot of interesting changes every season.

As I said I've played since beta which is about 3 years ago and I can master about 10 champions which means i know everything about those champions. You can have so much fun in this game it's ridiculous. The game has implemented a leveling system (1-30) and each time you level up you get a mastery point which you can put in one of the three mastery trees (Offense, defense and utility). Utility is more of a support tree because there are a couple of different champion types:
    Attack Damage Carry
    Ability Power Carry
    Jungler
    Tank
    Bruiser
    Pusher
    Support

    And these types are going on different lanes, mostly Supports and AD carries are goin the bot lane, and AP carries mid, bruisers and tank top/jungle. AP carries may go top but at different occasions. It all depends on enemy team. The game is based of takeing the enemy Nexus (main base) anmd there are 3 lanes and a jungle. there are 2 lane turrets in each lane before inhibitor turret, and the inhibitor will be taken down after the turret and then you get ultra super-minions. After you have taken down one of the inhibotrs you can then attack the two nexus turrets, after both are destroyed you can attack the Nexus.

So I shall attempt to address some of the issues people have raised
    1. The claims that this is a pay to win game. This is simply just not the case, real money can be used to purchase additional champions, or boosts that speed up the gain of ip and summoner xp. Neither of which directly effect in game performance. Summoner level cap is not hard to reach, and must only be reached once, it more or less provides something of a learning curve for new players and somewhat helps to keep the skill level ranked play at least a little bit higher, it also gives access to a mastery point level which do effect gameplay, but in terms of percentages you are talking maybe a 5% increase in strength. IP gains are used to purchase runes which do provide in game advantage, whilst getting every single rune would take a considerable period of time it does not take very long to get a couple of sets which can be used on any champion quite well. Runes do offer quite a reasonable advantage I will admit but it is small enough that skill will trump runes every time and are accessible to even a casual no money spending player.
    The only thing RP(Real life money requiring currency) is used for exclusively is for champion skins, which are a purely visual thing, and whilst some skins are kind of average looking, others rather expensive there is very good range of reasonably priced good looking skins and regular sales cutting 50% off the cost of them. 2. Let us move on to another common complain, graphics. I personally find it difficult to play ugly looking games, but this is not one. Yes they are not going to compare to Crysis 3, or any other modern first person game, but given the zoom level which the game is played at it looks very pretty, and still manages to run quite well on a range of systems. Graphics though are something of personal taste thing though so there is that.
    3. Balance. Well, there is certainly balance issues, some champions are stronger then others, but I don't find this is particularly correlated to how recently the champion has come out, I think riot does a good job at maintaining balance given how great a variety of champions they provide. Even in the case of champions being powerful there is always ways to counter, through your own pick or items. If you for some reason cannot deal with a particularly champion, each team gets 3 bans which can be used deal with it.
    4. The community. This is a tough one, the league community is pretty toxic for the most part, but then so is most of the online gaming community. The biggest issue is League is a team game, you are heavily reliant on the other players so having team mates is rather unpleasant. This is something that can be dealt with though, makes friends, meet someone who plays well and doesn't seem to be a dick? Add them as a friend, play with them. Once you have found at least 1 or 2 people to play with regularly you will find things a lot better.
    5.No skill required. This is another flat out lie, not much more I can say really, play the game for more then a few short minutes and that should become clear.

    Now that I have addressed to the best of my ability the complaints of other I will move on to why I love the game.
    It has the best microtransaction system I have ever encountered. No money is required to be spent to play the game quite happily nor is an arduous amount of grind required if one does not. Any purchases made feel voluntary not required as in some free to play games, they are not shoved in your face too much and just kind of lets you do your thing.

    The metagame system provides increased depth but does not punish players to harshly for having poor understanding/use of it. Each week 10 champions are made free for the week which allows the trial of many champions before acquiring them permanently with in game earned currency or RP. The leveling system in place means that at higher levels you are guaranteeing that least some understanding of the game even at low skill ratings in ranked. Leaving games is harshly punished(as it should be) and so whilst it does still happen is not nearly as common as in some mobas.

    The range of champions available is vast, some more interesting then others but the sheer range allows for finding of many champions to suit any play style. Most have a good range or item builds that can be used to great effectiveness other are more restricted but can be fun nonetheless. Thematically there are some unique, some borrowed elements from other games/mythology/books/movies but are never straight up copies.

    In summary, a solid team based game with some good players other which are less so. It is free. a lot of the negative reviews seem to have come mainly from players who have not played for long enough for the match making system to correctly place them    … Expand

Until level 30, you can only play blind pick matches, so it is a crap-shoot as to who will win the game because some characters just win against other characters. On the off chance that the characters chosen for a match balance each other out, you might have an exciting game (score is neck and neck, lots of close calls, and just an interesting display of players' skills and focus will determine the outcome of the game). However, that match-up is rare in a blind pick and usually your team will roll or be rolled on (win in a landslide, or lose by a landslide). I give this game and 8, here are my reasons, because it contains solid gameplay with draft pick mode (you see the opponents characters and can choose counter characters) and because the devs add a champion almost every two weeks to a game that can be played for free. Some games claim to be "free to play" but their item mall is atrocious and gives an unfair advantage. LoL is not one of those games, and being a millionaire will not give you advantage in this game (money will only buy pretty skins for your characters which are also released regularly). The only reasons to deduct points would be the community... don't get me started, but the players you meet will test your patience.

    A great combination of Strategy and RPG. It's trully the best MOBA game out there. With a huge variery of champions to choose and very simply gameplay, League of Legends can make you a huge addict if you keep playing!

    It's free-to-play but this doesn't mean that you have to "pay-to-win". On the contrary, every champion is available with IP (in-game currency) which you collect just by playing, or RP (Riot Points) which is the real-money currency.

    You can choose to play as Tank, Fighter, Assassin, or Mage (using the "Ability Power" which makes your abilities stronger). Each champion has 4 abilities, one of them being Ultimate which unlocks at Level 6. Level cap during the game is 18. Games are played 5vs5, 3vs3 or even 1vs1. The most addictive thing is that as long as you play you win xp (even when losing) and you can level up your profile. After each level up you win an extra mastery point and an extra rune slot. Masteries are permament skills for your profile when you start a game and they are unlocked though a Mastery tree. Runes on the other hand are boosters which you can buy. Higher and more efficient runes are unlocked at levels 10, 20 and 30.

    Finally when you reach level 30 you can play in ranked matches. You start at the bronze division and try to climb up to the silver, gold and even platinum. Official championships give clans huge amounts of money and indie developer Riot Games has built a huge blockbuster there out of nowhere!

    Graphics are simple and games run with 0 frame rate drops. User interface is very easily to learn and finally voice acting fits nicely to each champion.

    To summarise, League of Legends is one of the best experiences I ever had with the only negatives being the community that might dissapoint some of you (high percentage of youths, strong language, AFKers etc.) and finally maps which are very few, like in the most MOBA games out there.    … Expand

    Negatives: The LoL gaming community is one of the worst I've ever experienced, trolls and idiots all over the place, which sadly, when playing alone, takes the fun away from the game a lot of the time, and rage will begin to set in. This game's community has the potential to manipulate a great and friendly player into a complete nightmare with rage. That is the one and only main issue with this game. However if you can get a group together and make sure you know all members of your team, and get together on Skype/Team Speak, then this issue will be avoided and there won't be much to complain about. The other negative is that the servers are often buggy and RIOT have to fix things on a weekly basis, although having said that, it doesn't happen as often as it used to. Another minor negative is that there isn't much map variation; two 5v5 maps (one ranked map, and one 'capture-the-flag' type game mode), one 3v3 map, and an 'all random, all mid' map which is also 5v5, but with no ranked option. If they could provide the game with another map for each game mode, the fun factor of this game would definitely further increase.

    8/10 as it's a great game for a free-to-play, nice graphics, plenty of variation, no force to purchase anything at any time, and even a 9 or 10/10 if you get a group of friends together. Unfortunately, the poor community prevent this game from being a higher score.    … Expand

    At the moment, League of Legends is probably the best MOBA available. There are a variety of balanced champions which suits to everyone's taste and play style. Gameplay is excellent.

There ARE balancing issues that the developers love to ignore with a lot of overpowered items or champions, but what can you do? The issue exists in every game. I enjoy the free to play model of the game, as you cannot pay to win. The purchasable currency is only used for unlocking champions early or cosmetics. Speaking of cosmetics, I really enjoy the artwork and graphics of the game. The splashes and fan art that come from this game are excellent. I also am one who enjoys the story of the League and lore of the various champions. It appeals to my love for fantasy games. The worst part about the game is that the community is probably the worst out of any game. It seems every other game you always get that dick or that guy who thinks he's the It's best to typically avoid the chat and mute players as fast as you can. Despite that, there isn't really a whole lot bad about the game, and for a free to play it's definitely great. Just play for fun, and avoid the community.… Expand

    I absolutely love this game, and have put in enormous sums of money to buy skins and champions. I have played well into many thousands of hours (and matches) and it never ceases to bore.

It took a long time to slog my way out of Silver 1, but now that I am in Platinum I am soooooo happy. The new League System works and it is wonderful. Many of the complaints of "poor community" and "imbalanced game-play" are a constant work in progress, admittedly, but for the most part after Silver community really improves dramatically. Maybe 1/20 games will there be an afker/flamer/leaver/troll etc (in Plat). The game is more balanced when facing other skilled opponents. In Platinum it is very clear that your teammates and opponents are on very similar skill-levels, and every single match is a battle of sheer force of will and logic. New champions are not generally imbalanced lately, and every single champion in the game has a counter or method of defeating them. Above-all, this game DOES reward advanced game-playing techniques and strategies in the higher Leagues. Most games do not stall past 40 minutes unless both teams are simply so good that it is rather difficult to break through the opposing force. But those are the best games, since when you finally achieve victory (or suffer defeat) you are still happy to have been a part of the glory.

    For an absolutely free and fairly balanced game (you cannot get ANY advantage through payments) LoL merits a 10. I've experienced 1000s of hours of unadulterated joy from this game, and LoL is a part of my life as much as reading, eating, exercising etc. is. It is a fun hobby.    … Expand

The game is completely free to play and you unlock champs with a point system, you earn through playing games, and there is a 10 free champ weekly rotating system so you eventually get to try everyone out before you need to unlock them. 3. The community is significantly better then the HoN community as far as I am concerned. 4. Game is updated frequently, always with new features such as skins, so the game never remains the same.

    Most of the reviews for LoL seem to cite "pay to win" aspects and talk about how bad they think the graphics are and how unbalanced the gameplay is. First of all, it is probably the least "pay to win" game I have played online. I have been playing for about a year and a half and I have about 75% of the champions, and I have never spent real money on a champion, nor have any of my friends.Most of the reviews for LoL seem to cite "pay to win" aspects and talk about how bad they think the graphics are and how unbalanced the gameplay is. First of all, it is probably the least "pay to win" game I have played online. I have been playing for about a year and a half and I have about 75% of the champions, and I have never spent real money on a champion, nor have any of my friends. The only times I have spent Riot Points, or RP (bought with real money) were on champion skins, which have no effect on a player's skills or performance, they just look cool.

    The graphics are relatively outdated, but it serves the purpose of ensuring full frame rate during team fights when every player is auto-attacking and casting at the same time. And to be perfectly honest, they're still pretty good. On the matter of unbalanced gameplay, it is expected from a game that has new champions every month and updates every two weeks. The reason it's updated so often is so that Riot (the developer) can address the issues that come up after releases.

    Toxic player communities. Every game has them, and I mean EVERY online game I have played has a certain amount of toxic players. And in recent times, I have encountered far fewer while playing LoL. The truth about most of these reviewers is that they're the type of people who lose their first game and flame onto Metacritic because they think a champion is overpowered and everyone is a 12 year old. The truth is that a lot of these people who play supposedly overpowered champions are in fact high level players who make alt accounts to mess with "noobs".

    For the TL;DR's
    Pros:
    -Easy to learn, difficult to master
    -Relatively fast and well balanced matchmaking
    -Constant updates and new champions
    -Plenty of diverse champions to play
    -No "pay to win" at all
    -Constantly changing metagame
    -Best free game I've ever played

    Cons:
    -Occasional toxic players
    -Outdated but solid graphics
    -Can get frustrating at times

    And to people like zeruthal, why would you play for 3 years if you thought it was the worst game ever? LoL has a huge community that is constantly growing and it has it for a good reason. Alone or with a group of friends, League of Legends is a great game that has diverse item and champion choices, and is fun for people of any skill level.    … Expand

    I've been a Summoner on League of Legends since the game had been Released. I've played DOTA II as well as HoN and a few other MOBA games.

They says it's too easy or not balanced properly. Honestly I think it's the other way around. League is balanced more than those two games and the only way it could be considered easier is that you can actually see what's going on. DOTA and HoN use graphics that make it more difficult to see the game-play and that makes it more difficult to play. Graphics are one thing, but they also have a terrible item/store layout that makes it hard to get a proper build going. League of Legends has nice graphics for a MOBA game and the Item/Store Layout makes it easy to find certain items or lists of Items by category.

    The most important thing about a Team Based Game from my perspective would be the community of players. League had a lot of players who would just ruin your experience while playing the game when it first came out. Since then they have implemented the Tribunal and the Honor System. The Tribunal is basically a place where players review cases of reported players and help decide whether they should be punished/warned or not. The ultimate outcome of the cases are reviewed by the RIOT Team to ensure a fair trial. The Tribunal has helped clean up the community and eventually another system was needed to ensure the results lasted. Eventually they Implemented the Honor System. This system encouraged players to have better behavior such as Sportsmanship and Teamwork. You earn points after a game when someone acknowledges you for the category you've earned. So far there are only ribbons distributed for earning a certain amount of points and there are rumors of icons you can earn as well. The result of these two systems has made the game experience so much better than any other MOBA game I've played. DOTA II and HoN have such a negative community that even if you like the game you would stop playing just because of the community.

    Bottom Line... League of Legends is the best MOBA game out there. Great game-play and Community experience. It's far more Enjoyable than all of the Other Team Based Strategy Games.    … Expand

This game is really just a cleaver revision of PVP combined with the dota mods from WC3. The cooperative aspect reminds me of online play in D2 as well, but it also reminds me of a modded mode in Starcraft where friends and myself would play 4v4 and give each player a unique 'avatar' unit with huge states and self- healing abilities. Sound familiar?

    And for those who claim that DOTA is better b/c it's original; in 2002 I played a modded game on Starcraft: Broodwars, called BunkerWars. The concept of the game was that you had continuously respawing soldiers in or around a terran bunker, and your enemy had the same. The goal was to destroy the enemy's bunker before yours was destroyed. So don't get too upset about DOTA being copied. The MOBA game concept was around long before WC3 even existed.

Focusing on two quality maps with precise attention to detail (e.g. using the flash works at precise thickness of objects, champion abilities, what have you) allows you to focus more on gameplay and strategy.

    Secondly, someone wrote that they wish there was a way to mute people who rage. Well, there is a way. You simply click on their name and press mute. Furthermore, there is a tribunal system in place which allows users to report negative players, be it that they are toxic or feeding, or afk. Members of the community then review the case and chat and place judgement on the case.

    Someone else wrote that it was imbalanced. I would argue quite the contrary and say that it's probably one of the MOST balanced games out there. You can review statistics of wins based on each champion, and as you'll notice, the community does a great job at reporting champions that are too buff, or fixing glitches, what have you. Furthermore, in ranked games, there are 3 bans per team, so if your team leader thinks that a particular champion (or 3) are overpowered, they can be banned.

    Finally, I would like to close by saying this...League of Legends is a community based multiplayer online battle arena game which is free to play, no strings attached. I love this game and though it does have some minor issues once in awhile, if you take the time to learn about it, odds are you will appreciate it for the work of art it really is.

    I love this game, although i wouldn't agree its for everyone. People complain about balancing problems, but riot is constantly fixing and updating them, they do listen to the community. If you've seen any tournaments you would realize this is a very competitive and enjoyable game.

    Pretty fun competitive game with decently high skill ceiling and interesting champions. Balancing is mostly good considering how much there is to balance, major mistakes happen but are quickly fixed by frequent patches.

People get wrapped up in the competition, tilt and say whatever they want because it is the internet and there are no consequences. It is a problem though but I don't see any other game doing as much against it as lol does. I wouldn't advise to play lol exclusively, play other games to cool down.… Expand

    League of legends is a game that's all about teamwork and cooperation. communicating with your teammates about when to attack or defend. a fantastic game of strategy and skill. the community however if very unhelpful and they just like to hate. the matches are long and require full attention, but once you win you feel like a champion, once you lose you don't just quit there you figure outLeague of legends is a game that's all about teamwork and cooperation. communicating with your teammates about when to attack or defend. a fantastic game of strategy and skill. the community however if very unhelpful and they just like to hate. the matches are long and require full attention, but once you win you feel like a champion, once you lose you don't just quit there you figure out what you did wrong and you fix it. you learn more by losing then by winning based of what I have seen.… Expand

    League of Legends is really what put MOBAs on the map and brought me into it. Its a great team game to play and has a ton of people constantly playing. You play as champions in 5v5 combat against each other. You get to unlock more champions by gaining in game currency and playing more. The community is known though for trolling and the servers do have its blips too. There's 100+ ChampionsLeague of Legends is really what put MOBAs on the map and brought me into it.

There's 100+ Champions for a variety of gameplay, and 4 different modes while I believe most of it's played on the 5v5 map Summoners Rift. It has a bit of a learning curve if you're new, especially to people with no MOBA experience. It's a free game, and supported by micro-transactions for skins which are pretty cool. The eSports scene in the game is huge and pretty entertaining as well. The main problems with me in League of Legends is that for a team game there's not enough communication options in my opinion, as well the movement doesn't feel super smooth and at some points you can zone out trying to last hit minions. I also think the map for as long as it's been out needs some adjustments. Overall I believe it's an 8 out of 10 in fun to me it's really fun with friends, but alone I don't feel like a big part of a team and communicating isn't so strong.… Expand

I have not played DOTA 2, which is the other MOBA (Mobile Online Battle Arena), but I have played many other online games including first person shooters, real time strategies, and massively multiplayer online role playing games, and League is by far the most addictive for me.
    I started playing when numerous friends of mine convinced me to, and they taught me all the basics of the game. That was about all they could really help with before I had to find out the rest for myself because the game has so very much to it. At the beginning the basics seem a little overwhelming but once those are learned everything else just becomes improvements, and there are always room for more, which keeps the player playing. Since every game is against new players it is a different experience every time without fail, as opposed to killing the same computer programed boss every game. What mixes well with this is the myriad of champions that League of Legends boasts, which is up to I believe over 100 now. The champions, or playable characters, leave room for something new every game as each one has different abilities and purposes.
    Most of the fun in the game comes from learning all these champions, and if you’re at all like me, the gain of skill is what makes the game addicting. Since every game you can do a little better and better until you’re the one beating up the other guys, and even then you can just play a new champion and do it all over again until you are great with both. The other variations in gameplay is the different positions, in which different champions excel. There are 5 positions and they each do something very different, leaving room for anyone to find one or more that they enjoy. Even with all the focus on individual gameplay, the game comes down to a team game that is fantastic to play with friends, if you can.
    The biggest problem of the game is part of the community that plays. There are people in every game that just play to make everyone else angry and League of Legends is no exception. There are people who will rage in the chat, run around dying making the game easier for the enemies, or just simply quit mid game. With each game played being composed of 10 players, 1 player can completely shift the mood of the game from something friendly and fun to a waist of time. The majority of the time this doesn’t happen, it’s just when it does it can cut the fun into little to nothing.
    League of Legends is in all a very fun game, especially to those that enjoy skill based games against players. I would recommend it to anyone who has some extra time on their hands and wants a longstanding game to play with friends.    … Expand

    It's a great game , no need to pay to win. Always updates , champions and championships.
    Only thing is paid skins to beautify the champions .
    All F2P games should follow the model of the League of Legends

    Let's start this by saying I don't care which game came first, which is ripping off the other and so on. So, do I like LoL? Yes, yes I do. Do I love it? God no.

The main reasons for not loving it would be the difficulty to differentiate my attacks from the enemy's while on team fights (note that this happens so often, that I've gotten really used to it. But at first it annoyed the heck out of me) and the por variety of gameplay. Also, mayority of the players seem incredibly rude, even by Online Gaming standarts The fact that one can report another player simply because of being a "noob" also annoys me. Nevertheless, I find the game to be fun while playing it with friends (not so much alone. Again, 'cause of the masses). Sure, it can be frustrating at times, but it can also be really rewarding other times.… Expand

    Alright. So I have played this game for little over a year now, and after looking at the review I'm just gonna have to point out a few things.

    If you have the whole idea of "Grinding" with this game then you are looking at it wrong. The only thing you are "Grinding" for is Creep Score In-Game. IP is rewarded based on how you do and you can unlock more champions this way. I know it takes    Alright.

IP is rewarded based on how you do and you can unlock more champions this way. I know it takes a long time, but its supposed to. You are not supposed to get all of the champions in 1 year, unless you want to pay. And thats the thing, if all you are doing is "Grinding" then this game isnt for you.

    If graphics is all that matters to you then you should go play something else because this game is NOT about graphics, even though they have redone the art design recently its still not the best, but this doesnt affect me, if it affects you, then go play the Witcher 3.

    Overall this game is very addictive, and especially with 4 friends, you can all collaborate via skype and its just really really fun. I have spent almost 500 hours with this game and still going.
    Also "Free to play" isnt exactly true, if you know what i mean XD. (Skins m8)    … Expand

    I love League of Legends and i've been playing it for a while. I dont give it a 10 because the community do not deserve it. Too much rage which is hard to ignore sometimes. Apart from that its amazing what you can do there. So many things to learn and to improve.

    I find that with League of Legends, Riot has cultivated one of the most unique spaces in gaming history—mostly for good reasons but also for some awful ones, and in the gaming museum of the future, League is sure to have its own wing.

    League of Legends handles well the worst problem DOTA has: its autistic n00b-hating elite players. Thanks to match making, now we weaklings dare to play. [Nov 2011]

    Improvements are constantly being updated and although team mates make or break many matches, there is genuine fun to be found.
