    At first it was a little difficult to grasp the concept of the game. But after jumping into a match with other players, and soon friends, I was instantly grasped by it. While some of the features on the game are somewhat confusing to the leisure gamer, if you spend the time to fully explore everything beneath the surface, you'll find a world of customization at your fingertips.

    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)

    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

    For people who haven't played DotA, Heroes of Newearth or Rise of the Immortals, this game might prove to be a bit difficult. What really makes this game fun is playing with 4 of your friends as you take down the enemy team. If you're not a team player sort of person then don't touch this game.

    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)

Most players are pretty competitive too, so there's always a good challenge. I disagree with people who say it's less "hardcore" than DotA or HoN. I've played both of those and feel they are less team-oriented than LoL where you're team is constantly struggling to end up with more gold than the other team so they can make a push to try and win the game. My only real complaints are that there are some small issues that Riot chooses not to fix (like no way to scale minimap) and they tweak the game a little too hard some times and it throws things off a lot. If you enjoy team-oriented games and hero building games like DotA then you should give it a shot. It's free after all… Expand

The gameplay is simple enough to quickly learn the basics but also has a great deal of depth for advanced players to master. There is a truly staggering array of champions to choose from and several different roles, so there is plenty to learn and experiment with. This does mean that the game has somewhat of a steep learning curve--since you will have to learn to recognize 50+ champions and remember their abilities--but after a while this will come naturally. My one major complaint about this game is that there is no way to boot out AFK players, players who disconnect, or trolls, so if your team gets stuck with one or more you may be at a permanent disadvantage. Hopefully Riot will address this problem in the future.… Expand

    The game is pretty good but it has a terrible community. Every step you meet a flamer. The graphics are a bit childish.

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    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

The game offers PvP and PvE both with 3v3 and 5v5, Once you reach LvL 30, you can begin participating in Ranked matches, and for most of us, we want to get our names up there on the Ladder Rankings for the whole world to see, don't we? They're constantly adding new champions, keeping the game fresh and fun to play. There're tons of in-game items to chop and change how you play your chosen champion, there're so many variations with each and every match played. RIOT constantly fix bugs with frequent patch updates (every 2 weeks at the most) to ensure we're all happy as gamers.

    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

    Still, LoL, was one of the first great game where "Pay2Win" was not possible, and as a lot of games later came out trying to do this same system, it feels better to start playing F2P without having to hand in 50 bucks to get a small advantadge.

    The issues in this game can be summed up in one sentence. Riot underestimate greatly the growth of the playerbase's size. This lead to very specific points being fixed, turning into champions getting gutted or overpowered because Riot tries too much too answer a plead from what turns out to be a small part of the community.

    As such, the community in this game is unbearable. Ragers, leavers, griefers, squeakers turn a lot of game into a living hell.

    Play this game with friends. That's all.    … Expand

    I have been playing League since early Jan 2011. I hadn't played any Moba games previously which made it hard to pick up. Each week were new champions I hadn't played, and it took awhile til I found a champion that I enjoyed. Champion Guides were what helped me each game and I basically played by them. I only really got into the game after hitting level 30, being able to have a full mastery and rune page.

    The community has become more positive (in-game at-least) and players communicate more in order to help their team. The normal matchmaking system is better (e.g 4 man premade of silver/gold vs 2 man premade of silver/gold with a plat player) and a-lot more depends on your teams attitude than the champion picks. There are over 100 champions to play, all with unique and awesome skills. There are also 4 maps now, all with various game-types to make the daily experience more enjoyable. All the visuals are updated, and all the original/old champions are being redone to accompany the changes. There are loads of servers now too so the only restrictions are your internet or PC.

    If you've never played and want to give this game a go, be warned it will not be easy. Play with a friend, and aim to have fun each game. Learn from your mistakes, listen to your teammates and communicate with them. Watch tournaments, streamers and videos to give you ideas, and improve your skills. You will get better the more games you play.

    Good luck, and thanks for reading.

    Another thing people complain about is the way LoL does free to play, but thats mostly idiots who think that free to play must be only done in the one way their favorite company does it, or that f2p is evil and should be never done.
    The real problem LoL does have is its horrible community, its better for more people, theres a larger audience that keeps growing, plus its a genre where team play and communication are important, so obviously there will be lots of stupid people, and you will meet some of them.

    To give you some numeric datas, there are more than 7,5millions players playing simultaneously in 2014, which is really higher than in 2013 (5millions), and it's the same for 2012 (3millions).
    Those datas can clearly show that the total of active League of Legends players has increased a lot in less than 2 years, which means that there're more kids, but also more serious players. So that's normal if you don't find the mates of your dreams every game today.

    Furthermore, League of Legends is a VIDEO GAME, it's useless to take it too seriously, you're not going to enjoy your time passed playing, so you still can change your mind. (I'm talking for the majority of the people criticizing the game without getting their own opinion).

    About the content of the game, I won't criticize the price of skins, champions, runes, etc. Riot is a lucrative company. They're free to take the decision they want.
    If you are a normal player, you're going to take several months, maybe years to understand how League of Legends works. The classic MetaGame changes every year, the "Op Champions" change almost every month too. It's almost impossible to get a perfect equality between every champions, Riot is working on it. Indeed, almost every week, patches are realised to correct this gap.

    The maps we're playing in are re worked (principally the Summoner's Rift at the moment), the visual effects are not bad at all for a moba.

    I guess you understood my opinion. Even if the community of League of Legends is a vicious circle ("You're a typical league of legends player, you don't respect the current meta in normal game, your champion is useless, report you"), I'm sure that people will be able one day to think by themselves and that they'll realize that they play to a VIDEO GAME.

    To resume myself :
    - I'm sure ththe community will grow up
    -A lot of content in game, a bit repetitive, but the community finds some ways to do different gameplay (Teemo Ball, Ultimate Bravery, etc...).
    - A large pool of champions you can play, which offers an strategic aspect to the game.
    - Connexion issues for many people (maybe hard to host more and more people everyday).

    That's all for my critic, I probably forgot to mention many details, it's not that easy to clearly explain yourself in English when you're French haha.

    So, have fun everyone

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 have 4 accounts, one of which is on the beta server. I read all the patch notes, know all the characters, and all of their abilities. For several hours of every week I take to the fields of justice to decide the fate of Runeterra.
    League of Legends, overall, is a good game. My 8 out of 10 should not be a surprise considering the rampant popularity. To be honest, I only really have two complaints with the game. The first is the system of Match Making Rating, or MMR as it is commonly called. My second is the community.
    MMR is what determines who is on your team and who you are against. This helps to prevent low ranked people from being paired with or against very high ranked people. To this extent it works very well. However, as people climb the ranks it can be a very punishing system. In order to climb in ranked tiers you must win games in order to earn league points, or LP. At 100 LP you earn the chance to move up to the next tier by winning two out of three of the next games. But the amount of LP you earn and lose upon a win or loss is determined by your current MMR and the MMR of your teammates and opponents. Since MMR rises slower than LP, unless you are on a very large win streak, this causes people to earn little LP for a win, but lose a large amount on a loss. In my experience (which isn't even the worst of it), I’ve been winning 16 LP, but losing 24.
    The community is the biggest complaint of the majority of league players. Matt Truong, lower ranked player who has logged over 1000 hours over the course of 3 years under the name solidious101, says, “The toxicity and attitude of certain players creates an inhospitable atmosphere for newer players.” Although, it has greatly improved over time. When I first started playing almost 5 years ago, you couldn't go even one game without a raging flamer, who would probably quit partway through the game. But Riot Games (the producers of League of Legends) began to really crack down on them. They managed to remove most of the ragers in my opinion. Occasionally you’ll still find one, but it is a relatively rare experience compared to five years ago. However, while there are less ragers overall, those that do still exist tend to be pretty toxic.
    Those 2 complaints may be fairly large, but as I said, league is still a good game. First off, it's easy to learn. League of Legends is probably the simplest and most streamlined MOBA style. The entire game can pretty much be summed up in 5 game mechanics: poke, push, team fight, cs, and trade. This reason is commonly cited as to why it is so popular. People see pro players do something and think to themselves, “that's not that hard, I could do that (although most people cannot, thus explain why they are not pro players).” This brings a lot of people onto the game, and keeps them hooked since they are always trying out new things and striving to get better.
    Another big reason for why league is a good game is the length of each match. One match of league is about 35 minutes and no two matches are the same. This yields two things that make for a good game: ease of access and replay value. I tout The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as my favorite game ever, but I have only played that for about 55-60 hours versus the hundreds I have spent on league. For league, if you have a free 50 minutes or so, you should easily be able to get a game in, but in legend of Zelda you need a solid hour and a half or more if you want to enjoy it. Moreover, every time you play Zelda, it's the same thing. Between having over a hundred characters to choose from, extremely varied item builds, and more players than you could ever play with, you can play league for the rest of your life and never have the same two experiences.
    The most important reason that League of Legends is a good game, however, is that it is a multi-player game. League is played with others and is in a way meant to be played with friends. I, myself, hardly ever play on my own, I almost always am playing with at least one friend. Sunny Kakkad, an intermediate level player who has logged 1100 hours on league over the last 3 years under the name Sunnsenpai19, says “I only ever play with friends, usually [tsukiomi]. I even play ranked with other people, even though that raises the MMR.” When you play with friends the game tends to be taken less seriously and it is more ok to do trolly things which is more fun. The vast majority of the time when I play with my friends, we aren't in the same room, or even building. We just use a third p    … Expand

No not because its funny because they are annoyed of all the toxic players and troll to get demoted and play with noobs compared to them and i blame the toxic players but toxic players isn't the only problem because the riot employees are laughing at us look the champions that we want to get a nerd instead get stronger.But i still love this game no matter what because its original,fun,easy to learn and you get used to it in 1-2 months.And i find it disappointing to miss such a great opportunity especially with such a good game to get ruined by community so i think only thing for riot to do is to make a new game and put swear,noob,get cancer retard and all of the other toxic sentences,and also if someone has a question about will it run yes it runs very easily… Expand

    Hello,
    So you want to play LoL, "League of Legends" made by Riot Games? Well I am here to tell you all about my journey in the game and what to expect from this amazing time waster.
    First of all I will start with my experience. I have been playing this game on and off since the release of Vi which is something like from 2013. Who Am I to write a review? Well I was ranked Platinum 1 in    Hello,
    So you want to play LoL, "League of Legends" made by Riot Games? Well I am here to tell you all about my journey in the game and what to expect from this amazing time waster.
    First of all I will start with my experience. I have been playing this game on and off since the release of Vi which is something like from 2013. Who Am I to write a review? Well I was ranked Platinum 1 in season 5 (not a very high rank but good enough for a review I guess) and currently I am platinum 5 in the new season 6. I have played in many seasons and seen a huge amount of metas. The champion pool is diverse, yet the luxurious choice of champions does not matter unless you are in low ELO (aka low rank) or you are a one trick pony. Why u ask? Simple the heuristics of league of legends tell people that X champion with Y build makes him the best/top tier pick. This is where people get the idea of imbalance. Alternatively I don't agree with that but that is off-topic.

    Lets start with the community.
    Pros:
    -Great jokes even the old ones like: Graves's cigar
    -Very fast learning community (aka creates new metas in under a weeks time)
    -
    Cons
    -Toxic at many points sometimes for no reason. Tbh its not the games fault but the reliance of teamwork.
    -Will blame others unless you are plat or above.
    -Depending on rank will have different attitudes for example Platinum Elo has very big ego.

    Game play.
    Pros
    -Recently very balanced unless the game gets staled and the developers unleash a couple of unfair champions.
    -Very diverse game play choice (you can play from stationary damage dealers to a face roll tank that does not die unless he goes 1v5)
    -Amazingly looking models and skins making you want to buy them
    -High skill cap champion pool including the easier champions like (Yi, Irelia etc.)

    Cons.
    -Miss clicks cost games
    -Some champions get no changes for years leaving their player base to rot.
    -Unhealthy kits of champions that can either be mega weak or significantly 'op'.

    All in all this game is worth any ones time, especially if you love MOBA's. Teamwork, coordination and individual skill leads all good players to high ranks and if you like these aspects in a game try it out!
    It's been Tomas and I give this game a solid

    Not bad MOBA game. It has lots of characters and lots of repeatability. You can play this game in any way that you want. It becomes boring after a while tho.

    Despite being known as the game with the most toxic playerbase known to mankind, League Of Legends still proves to be a modern, fun and competitive MOBA experience that won't be seeing any declining numbers anytime soon.

    Learning to play league... I wouldn't recommend it to many, but for those who have friends that play weekly, then it might be worth the time. I've been playing on and off since 2010.. Endless fun and frustration...

    Fun game if you play Arams and norms with friends, ranked experience sucks though.

    This game is enjoyable, but as it stands now I will not buy it as a retail product, because one map simply isn't enough, the "worldmap" of the realm where League of Legends takes place has ~13 maps, yet there's only one available.

I will stay with the free version for now. The artstyle/graphics is something you can compare to Warcraft and the likes with a little bit of cellshade, it should run on most computers quite properly with only a little bit of slowdown when there are *lots* of mobs* (which only tends to happen near the end of a match, at that point you're either winning or losing). Presentationwise this game delivers solid for a title that's free. That aside: The gameplay is amazingly fun and the differences between the champions are something you need to explore before getting really good in the game. Do not be mistaken by it being your average RTS, as Riot calls it, it's a MOBA, a hybrid between RTS and RPG, if that still doesn't ring a bell, compare it to a little WC3 mod called DOTA. It's a rough diamond, one that has potential in my opinion.… Expand

    If i went to 7 is mostly because of the main LoL problem: ''the community'' The game is like they say ''addictive as hell'' and they are improving the champions and made pretty good looking skins so far. The mechanics of the game are pretty nice, and you can play for hours. What brings it down is basically the community, there's so much aggressive people who ruins your day.

Also the matchmaking is pretty unbalanced: I found myself being the only one level 30 in my team against a 3 Ranked Silver players (who obv are level 30), totally frustrating. Even the new ranked system, while better than ELO based one, is a mess. You lose 2 matches and you go down 1 division, also when you win in the new one you only get 5 points, that you lose in a matter of matches. The game for these mentioned reasons gets pretty frustrating in so many ways, makes you lose your patience sometimes. It's a shame since the game is so fun and addictive. Not to mention the unbalanced champions, some of them have no counter, some of them get 3 kills and your match is pretty lost in a matter of minutes. Overall a pretty fun game which gets a ''meets expectations'' but is far from ''outstanding''.… Expand

    While this game is fun and entertaining it has some major flaws. The game itself is based on the DoTA mod for warcraft III. Essentially it is an action RTS game with tower defense elements. You control a champion and try to push each lane. Killing Minions and other champions while destroying towers. It can be very fun especially when you find a good group to play with.

Essentially it is an action RTS game with tower defense elements. You control a champion and try to push each lane. Killing Minions and other champions while destroying towers. It can be very fun especially when you find a good group to play with. Huge balance issues bring it down as the same overpowered characters are constantly being played. Other than the excessive amount of characters to choose from there is very little depth in the game itself. Riot as a developer has some major shortcomings as well. Their patches usually cause more problems than they fix. They constantly promise improvements and additions that never see the light of day. There are only two maps that are currently playable(3v3 and 5v5). Though you will still only ever play one of them (5v5). They have been promising a new map and new modes since launch which was nearly two years ago. They even leaked a map last October that still has yet to be released. As a free to play game it is worth the time for installation. However they make up for the game being free by charging ridiculous amounts for characters and skins. A character or skin will run you $7 to $15 each. No those are not bundle prices those are individual prices. With 70+ characters and each character having 4 or more skins it can get incredibly expensive. To sum up it can be a fun game to play as long as you don't expect any real depth. Just be wary of paying for the characters and skins.… Expand

    League of Legends is a fairly well polished game in that it optimizes team gameplay and coordination. Every aspect of the game requires you to cooperate with your team, meaning that this game requires you to rely on your teammates, however there is enough room for individuals to "carry" their team to victories.

Every aspect of the game requires you to cooperate with your team, meaning that this game requires you to rely on your teammates, however there is enough room for individuals to "carry" their team to victories.

    Many of the champions are fun to play, and have a broad range of abilities and style. However, Riot spends too much time creating new characters, which are no longer as unique and are not balanced properly. There are much bigger things in the game that can be worked on besides new characters, such as balancing issues and the matchmaking system for ranked games.

    Overall, this game is fun and sometimes it can be a blast, but many times the game can be flat out disappointing. Riot spends way too much time creating unnecessary characters, which are released roughly every two weeks, instead of balancing current characters. Many characters lost their uniqueness because of Riot's overwhelming creation of new champions.    … Expand

    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.
