    I've been playing League of Legends since August or September 2010.
    The game is addictive as hell and it now has tons of champions, about 80 or so. What makes this game different (and imo better) than the original DOTA is the new mechanics they've put in the game, such as summoner spells, runes, masteries, which all allows you to customize your character even before the game starts,    I've been playing League of Legends since August or September 2010.

    Furthermore it keeps the player addicted, since you want more champions, you need runes to be as efficient as others etc. This is not a bad thing in my opinion, it gives you a goal when playing. And now they are coming up with a new map and they are actually getting way better at balancing the game, so it is more enjoyable. Overall I find the game to be quite fantastic, given it is a F2P game ^^    … Expand

    League of legends is just a great game. The challenge to unlock all champions just makes the game playable for a long time, instead of some games that have only few unlocks.
    And its so easy to find a game to participate in, it just takes like 2-3 seconds to find one.
    The games has his downside, but the game play just makes it all up. So that's why i give League of legends a 9 out of 10.

    The most popular MOBA of all time, hell, most popular game of all time. Does it live up to its name? You bet it does.

    The game now features over 115 heroes that can be customized with mastery "talent" trees and "runes" which let you empower your hero in different ways.

    The complexity of the game is just perfect for both casual and competitive players, although most HoN and DOTA players would disagree and bash the game for being "too casual". But in my opinion, Riot really did remove the features that seemed to hinder the fun aspect of MOBA games (eg. denying your creeps).

    The game also features unique hero and environment designs, accompanied by great user interface.

    The learning curve is still there, and the lack of a good tutorial and explanation of basic gameplay concepts. Also the client that the pre-game lobby runs on is old and buggy, and can really get on the nerves of some people.

    I quit LoL a year ago as I have over 1500 hours clocked on it, and it got quite boring and repetitve, and it didn't help that Riot is scared of any major balance changes, and if they do them, they nerf instead of buffing, which gradually makes the game sillier and more boring to play in my opinion.

    In my opinion, LoL is the best "all-round" MOBA experience, featuring complex gameplay and strategies without flooding the player with mechanics that hinder the core fun MOBA experience. The lack of tutorial and good lobby client is definitely a con until it's fixed.    … Expand

    League has great potential, some times when you play you had so much fun, that you don't mind not about lousy crashes at servers, not about huge balances issues in champions design and mode challenge, not about moron(s) with you had to play previously game, not about over priced content that offer this game.

    You just play and have fun, true fun. But when you start new game, and all these issues comes back, and you haven't getting fun anymore you wanna stop this for god sake.
    Another thing that developers almost every week make some change in balance, that comes in increasing and decreasing champions and items stats, some times changes is good some times it's can make your favorite champion just useless. All league players know such pains in ass who fall down so much that become just not a "good" choice to play at all.
    One more thing is community, is not growth enough, and i mean not only by the age in my point of view, too many rage, crying, and morons you meet, some times not. I know that in almost every online game, but still.

    So game is worth a 10 from 10 point, but the issues of the League keep me from that score.

    After 10 years of playing from time to time and with recent release of Arcane, i just must change rating from 6 to 9. Why 9 you ask me? Because they show that there is always way to to improve.

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

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.

    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

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.

    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

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.

    Well, there are nice people too. But most of the time, you don't give a **** about people. You try to play this game right, better, and that's the purpose of it. Winning a game is something, but putting out some great moves, learning your character, or even failing is really fun. You can say the same for probably all moba games, but what makes League that good is its simplicity, and the versatility of the game. Every character has a different mechanics, playstyles, and actually creative ways of using spells unlike dota (sorry Russians). This game will never get repetitive. New champions, playstyles, builds... and new people, new flamers, kids, sociopaths etc.

    I'm playing this game for 4 years now, starting early season 1 and all I can say is that this is an amazing game with a horrible community, but all you have to do is to find 4 friends to play and mute the other team and this is certainly my most important pvp experience I ever found in an online game.

    League is the best free to play MOBA out there. Developer Riot continues to patch, upgrade and surprise their players. A lot of game modes and a constant flow of new characters and skins make this a game to be played for years to come.

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

    Being the only game i play, also a (team based) PvP and forgivable Free-to-Play approach will easily hook you on hours upon hours. With a massive selection of characters with different abilities and roles, gives you many options.

    League of Legends is a videogame played on the PC, it is a part of a genre of games called MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). It is popularly known as LoL and it currently holds the title of most widely played video game in the world. It has over twenty seven million active players daily. It is so large that it has even spawned its own slang vocabulary that every player understands. What would compel such a large amount of people to log in and play the same game every day? The answer lies in its simple yet deceptively complex structure of play. One can compare it to a team oriented version of chess. The old saying rings true, easy to learn hard to master.
    The basic concept of the game revolves around ten players divided into two teams of five players each. These two teams engage in a battle to destroy their opponent’s base, referred to as the “Nexus”. The path to said Nexus is defended by magical towers that will try stop you. In order to overcome this your team must work together with their selected characters, called “Champions” in-game to eventually overcome the enemy team and destroy their Nexus. In order to defend itself, each base will automatically send a number of soldiers into battle, these soldiers are referred to as “creeps”. When creeps are killed, champions are awarded with gold and experience. These are two very important resources.
    Gold allows your champion to buy items such as swords, shields and magical potions. Experience on the other hand allows you to “level up” your character which makes him or her stronger and unlocks access to new abilities.
    The main way to play is the multiplayer mode against other people, but there is also a singleplayer mode where you play against the computer’s artificial intelligence. Overall the real excitement comes from besting your human opponents on the battlefield. Before getting into a real battle against other players the game offers a tutorial that focuses on teaching new players the basics which we have already covered. It’s essential to learn these concepts and more before engaging human opponents in the arena.
    The arena in question is called the Summoner’s Rift, it is the main map where the battle takes place. An average battle will run anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes, the perfect length to have a good time with friends and possibly play another, without taking up your entire day. While in a match there are no breaks or pauses so one needs to pay attention for the duration of the match. The only down time provided to you, occurs when your character dies. At that point you are no longer in control and need to wait for a certain amount of time before being allowed to enter the arena again.
    In a typical match you will find a wide variety of champions that all have strengths and weaknesses. One such champion is Fizz, a powerful fish that uses his trident to quickly strike and dash away from a fight. The key to gathering gold and experience lies in killing creeps and enemy champions, while preventing your own champion from dying. A champion is only as strong as the amount of gold and experience he’s managed to collect. This is where League of Legends thrives, the careful balance between player skill and mechanics. Eventually by playing different champions one will learn how to counter and predict enemy map movements.
    League of Legends is what is called a “free to play game” meaning the upfront cost to enjoy it is nothing, however some parts of the game are restricted until you pay, for instance there are 123 champions in the game but you do not have access to all of them for free. They use a rotation system of 10 selected champions offered for free each week allowing you to try them out before making a purchase. If you fall in love with any of them you can turn your real money into what is called “Riot points” (Riot is the name of the developer). If however you wish to acquire a champion without spending actual money, you have the option of only playing the freely available champions while earning “influence points” for each match. Eventually you will gather enough influence points to trade them for champions. After a few hundred matches it is easy to fall into the temptation and open up your wallet to buy Riot points to speed up the process, after all Riot has to get their money from somewhere, especially since they are advertising it as a free game.
    The developer knows a lot about what makes a team oriented game tick. After your first few matches you learn that communication is key. Riot provide an in-game chat for typing out your strategies, but as it can be hard to type in the heat of battle they have also included a set of warning commands that will visually display icons on the map, this way your team can communicate quickly and efficiently as they seek to take objectives. Alternatively you can use a third party voice chat program like Skype. However most players rely on the in-game chat system.
    The visuals of the game are very cartoonish at first glance, this allows the game to run well on less powerful computers which is another reason why so many people play it. Light hearted actions such as visual gags and special dance moves that can be executed mid game highlight the emphasis on friendly fun, yet a highly competitive environment lies beneath the surface.
    As far as stability is concerned, sometimes players will experience delays as they wait to log in to a match, other times they will encounter visual bugs. Overall Riot spend a great deal of time ensuring that their game operates as it should, with little to no down time. Time is money after all!
    League of Legends is not hard to get into, but quite challenging to master. Updates and patches keep the game well balanced, boosting or toning down the power of various items and champions. Sometimes an update will bring a surprise twist to the game mode, slightly changing the game mechanics or introduce a new champion or changes to the map. In this sense the game is constantly evolving and improving.
    As an example, my favorite alteration to the game mechanics was a mode called “Hexakill”: It allows six instead of the standard five champions per team, leading to some chaotic battles. The mode was so successful Riot extended its duration for an additional two weeks. As in the normal mode, the main objective is to destroy the enemy nexus, but now you had the possibility of scoring a hexakill. Getting multiple kills in this game is one of the most gratifying feelings, the game has something like a sports announcer that will yell things such as “GOD LIKE!” when you slaughter your foes in battle.
    While League of Legends could be considered repetitive in that you always have the same objective and always play on the same map, the variety lies in the champion combinations, their items, and the varied skill level of your opponents. It is a very deep and rewarding game of higher strategy typical of the MOBA genre. No match ever plays out the same way, especially if you are playing with friends. The joy comes from mastering your champions, constantly learning new tactics and honing your skills. Most importantly you need to maintain a positive attitude and play as a team to emerge victorious. You will not win every match, but hopefully you will learn something valuable with each loss. Ultimately I feel League of Legends is a great example of a video game that offers countless hours of entertainment and the possibility of socializing with other people from all over the world, showcasing the best of what gaming and global connectivity can be. In closing, I have finally found a game that I love to hate, it can be a massive time sink, but in the end I am happy to have wasted both time and money on this great MOBA.    … Expand

    Personally I think the game is very well balanced, they are always trying to make small adjustments as needed and yes sometimes this makes a character OP, but you always have prematch bans to deal with this... or just learn how to shut them down. And new characters every month or so keeps it interesting and adds new dimensions.

    So I'd recommend trying it, playing in a friendly way and muting those who don't. It takes a couple of games to understand the basic strategy, and in my case 4 years or more to try and perfect yours! ;D    … Expand

    Where to start.

    League of Legends offers so many things as a game, both good and bad. The balance isn't always the best in League of Legends. In a multiplayer game, you should win because you are good at the game and not because you were the first to get a strong champion or use an overpowered move. It's not always a big deal, but it can be. If you want to play to compete, League    Where to start.

    The balance isn't always the best in League of Legends. In a multiplayer game, you should win because you are good at the game and not because you were the first to get a strong champion or use an overpowered move. It's not always a big deal, but it can be.

    If you want to play to compete, League of Legends is good. It is more complex than meets the eye. Some say it is easier to play than Dota, and those people are right. It's easier to play, but I would say, it just as hard to master as the other MOBA games. The game being easy isn't a bad thing. Dota is hard to get into, whereas League of Legends is better for newer players in terms of gameplay.

    However, terms of playing with other people, League of Legends is definitely not a friendly game. People who write to you in chat are harsh and rude and don't care about you. There are easy solutions to these problems, instead of just whining about it. You can play with friends. Friends who are chill. Friends that are not **** This improves the game experience immensely. Another thing is using the mute button in game and mute all other players.

    Watching League of Legends is boring, I admit. The little details that make a great player the best are very hard to notice. Impressive plays don't always lead to exciting moments in League of Legends, but just a small lead in gold. League of Legends esports is cool, but not that exciting.

    The actual client for League of Legends is terrible. It crashes and has a lot of stupid bugs.

    Despite some of this, League of Legends is still one of my all time favorite games. The good things in League of Legends heavily outweigh the bad ones.

    The gameplay is simply fantastic. When you play the game yourself, it's fast paced, active, and of course a lot of fun. It feels very smooth to play, it's intuitive and it's straight forward. Amazing moments happen when you play League of Legends.

    The champions are well designed. They feel unique and cool and there is a champion for everybody. The map, the feeling and the atmosphere in League of Legends is awesome.

    It's a game for both the smart and the fast. People who are good at using the keyboard and mouse can win close fights. People who are intelligent and quick thinking can outsmart their opponents.

    People who complain about League of Legends are just people who forget to enjoy the great game that it really is.    … Expand

With over twenty-seven million players daily, League Of Legends made by Riot Games is the number one MOBA (Multiple Online Battle Arena) in today’s time. This game suits any gender, race, or, ethnicity. It’s easy to learn, and every single game is guaranteed a fun time. Along with all those fantastic attachments, the game is free to play, and virtually any PC or Mac is able to run this beautiful game.

    League like most MOBA’S attract to the five versus five gameplay on its main arena Summoner’s Rift. It’s brightly blue colored and designed with three lanes leading up to each-others base. Pick a lane to go and you’ll battle against other players from all over the world with various skill levels and other characters. With the strategically placed bushes you can hide in it and pop out to scare and attack your enemies. There’s also a jungle on each sides of the map for each team. These jungles are filled with NPC (Non–Player Character) monsters in which you can go and farm up gold and get various buffs. There’s always a contemplating feeling to risk going into the enemies jungle and stealing their buffs. The unconscious fears that an enemy lurks just moment’s away makes your pulse race. This strategy, being more useful than killing the entire other team; you can kill their jungle and drain the other team from additional gold. This simple gameplay is fun; strategic and overall it never gets boring no matter how much you think it would.

    There are many objectives to this simple MOBA game. You can go destroy the large blue enemy turrets, or you can help increase your characters strengths by getting various dragons that help specific stats to your champion. Or you can slay the big purple worm monster, which is called Baron Nashor. He gives your champion and minions huge buffs in health, damage, and size. The buff makes the game easier to win, but don’t be fooled, if you’re not strong enough to take on Baron Nashor; you will be slain by him.

    From Jinx a psychopathic pig tailed rocket loving maniac, or Annie, a frightening little girl who’s a pyromaniac that has various fire abilities; there are 117 characters to play as. These champions, as the League Of Legends community calls them, have so many memorable quotes and bright colors and each character has a personality that you will fall in love with. You will more than likely find a specific character that you will mainly play. These champions can be bought at two to eight dollars a piece, or there’s an option to buy them with in game currency that’s easy to acquire. The more you play, the more points you to get put towards characters. On top of all that, League Of Legends has a rotating champion pool in which every week there are ten free-to-play characters you can choose and try a few matches with. You really get a feel for most if not all the characters through this rotating character pool.

    For additional detail, you can buy skins for all the champions. They can get to be a little pricey, but they’re definitely worth it. Some can be as two dollars, while others can range up to be twenty dollars. The pricier the skin the more additional particles, graphics, and spell move changes there are. My “Spirit Guard Udyr” skin changes the entire way he looks and how all of his spells sound, look, and he even has additional voice over quotes. Those skins don’t change your gameplay experience or give your character additional buffs. Once you’re sick of looking at the same old character game after game; you can pick skins from thirty dollars to as low as two dollars a piece. They aren’t required and you can still play the game free of cost by downloading it on Leagueoflegends.com.

    Each match lasts thirty to forty minutes, which you may say that’s a long time, but you’re consumed by various objectives, team fights, and just in general playing the game; time flies, before you know it an hour has passed. Matches usually start slow and work their way up to fast paced, action packed, fest of non-stop battles against other champions. For the most hectic of all fights; all players on both teams fight each other all at the same time until the last man stands. The players that live through the team fight will more than likely storm the losers’ base, and take the victory.

    What keeps League Of Legends so refreshing is that it is split into seasons, like your favorite TV show, they throw a plot twist in it. Every eight months Riot Games changes almost everything about the game. They change items, the jungle; basically every season you have to re-learn the game and adapt yourself to whatever changes the company has made. It keeps players coming back every season to check what’s new and see what improvements have been made.

    Overall, League Of Legends is a fast paced, hectic fest, and I will be playing this game for years to come.    … Expand

Sure, I've seen a few flame wars now and then, but for the most part the players in the match are mellow.

    But enough of all that. Of course, you want to know why I am such a big fan of this game. I will enlighten you of that right now.

    So League is a MOBA game about tactics, strategy, and cooperation among teammates. The gameplay in a match seems pretty slow at first, but toward the end of the game it gets very intense and fast-paced. Multiplayer matches usually last 30-50 minutes, unless you're in a very high-ranking league.

    Now for the champions. "Champion" is just another name for the playable characters you play as in matches. And one of the things I love about League is that they have the biggest, most massive, diverse roster of playable characters to choose from, and what's more, the developers are constantly adding more characters to the roster. As the developers have said before, whatever way you want to get things done, there is a champion out there to go with it. In fact, one of the funnest parts of playing League is just trying out new champions and seeing what awesome abilities they have at their disposal for you to use.

    There is a variety of other things I should cover in League, But I'll let you find that out when you start playing.

    So overall, League is an amazingly crafted, insanely fun and obsessive masterpiece of a MOBA game, which is currently the most played online game in the entire world and is also completely free to play.    … Expand

    League of Legends is a dynamic game which gets patched every two weeks. It's a free to play mobA developed by Riot Games. It has one of the biggest player base in the world and is well known in esport.

It has one of the biggest player base in the world and is well known in esport. Riot earns money by micro transactions which allows the player to only get cosmetic items to keep the game NOT pay2win.

    It's my 4th season playing this game and have a solid rank (Platin) which is much better than the avarage rank.

    Balancing and newbies:
    Riot patches the game every two weeks to keep it fresh and prevents it for being boring. This is one of the reason why LoL is still so popular. Therefore some champions are overpowered and others are "kinda useless". That creates a meta wich switches over and over so the overpowered champions in the current patch are probably less stronger in the following patches.
    For newbies: It becomes harder and harder from season to season to get in this game.
    At the beginning you have to collect and experience much game knowledge to become bad from super bad. You need to play the game for many years to become metionable good in it. So don't get frustrated if you stay forever in silver or bronze. The rest isn't much better than you.

    Community:
    The community is one of the games biggest part. When I started the Matches were full of troller, inter (people who gave the enemy team advantages with the aim to lose the game), toxic players and afkler. This community changed totally. Today (season 8) there are still those people but much less than in the past and the rest of the community is really friendly and helpful.
    The reason for that is probably the honor system which gives friendly and nice player free loot and cosmetic content while the toxic player gets (often) strongly punished for their bad behavior.

    The influence to the company by the comunity is highly strong. They listen to their community and creating lore content by side the actual game.    … Expand

    I have played this game for nearly 100 hours and I love it. If you like MOBAs check it out! But mute everybody in the game, as the playerbase can be very toxic.

    But we are here to talk about the 5vs5 mode the core of this MOBA game! When you have a game with 100 plus champions balance is really hard but LOL is trying his best with patches and more to balance it and the developers they are doing a really good job ! Graphics are also fantastic with a lot of updates since day one and the voice acting of the characters is amazing ! There is also an huge LORE in this moba with a really interesting cinematics ! Gameplay is easy and funny and as a team game everyone have a job to do and if they do it right they will win the game (top support juggle mid adc).

    But why not 10/10 .....i will tell you why this game have the most toxic community i have ever encounter! A simple mistake and you get the curses of your life!! And its not a few of players is almost everygame and this is getting worse and worse...Simple the community cant enjoy the game ! The focus only the win which is normal....i want also to win but first i want to enjoy the game !Another
    issue is the smurfing ...And what is smurfing a high ranked player gets lower rank accounts (friends or even getting played for it ) and start playing for them in order to get them higher ranks (cause higher ranks means higher rewards for the account) so that means a lower ranked players getting destroyed of a high rank skill player and ruining the experience and when the lower rank player gets back to play in higher ranks account he ruins the game too for the higher rank players ....

    For conclussion i dont know how to fix this but i surely recommend this game its free and its not p2w!!!

    You can also enjoy the competitive scene which is one of the best in gaming industry with lot of events all around the globe!    … Expand

    Despite its flaws, League of Legends is still a fantastic game that is a must-play for fans of the MOBA genre. With constant updates and new content being added, this game will keep you entertained for countless hours. The diverse roster of champions and deep, strategic gameplay make it a game that you can play for years to come.

    Overall, I would give League of Legends a 9 out of 10. While the ranking system and persistent issue with toxic behavior can be frustrating for some players, the game's diverse roster of champions, deep, strategic gameplay, and thriving esports scene more than make up for these shortcomings. If you're looking for a deep and engaging MOBA experience, League of Legends is definitely worth checking out.    … Expand

The developers (RIOT) are constantly working on not only patches and balance fixes but fun optional bonus content as well, and their servers, albeit not the most reliable, do hold up most of the time. Some people say that this is a pay to win game despite the fact that 10 champs are free every week and every week the 10 free champ change. IMO that's great because you not only gain skill in every kind of champion due to the lack of your starting champion pool but you also find out which champions you like and which to strive to unlock permanently as your favorites. The community can be toxic at times but as with every MMO there's always going to be picking on people who are less skilled or simply less experienced than others. Overall it's a solid game and with well over 100 champions to choose from RIOT has come a long way from it's roots. Would defiantly recommend trying and if you don't like it then no harm done because the game itself costs nothing.… Expand
