    After not playing this game for a number of years I decided to hop back on for the hell of it. I was quickly reminded of why I stopped playing to begin with.

I was quickly reminded of why I stopped playing to begin with. Team-based moba's are always going to be a mixed bag, but League just takes that negative and highlights it to its maximum potential. You will never have consistency in level of play unless you're playing with friends, whoever is left actually playing this relic. Beyond that this game has "evolved" to a point that it's almost impossible to get back into. I have no idea who the new characters or what they do and to be honest, I don't think this game is worth the hundreds of hours you would have to pour into it that would be necessary to reach an average skill level. Sure, you can say it offers more than it used to, but I liked it better when the game didn't have a million champs to worry about learning and an ever-changing shop/item system that will take a bit on its own to master. In short, this ain't worth the time and effort (moba's usually aren't)… Expand

    Game as game is very good. But the community destroy everything, matchmaking suck and report system is useless. Someone is trolling? Nah, maybe just bad day. Someone pick troll champ on lobby? Leave and u will get - LP. U have ppl on team that dont use wards and dont care about obj. it's ok, its the same level as u. They dont care much about community in this game, because ppl play anyway

    The game was once good, then it became ok'ish, and now it is straight up terrible. Riot somehowmissed the point where they had to stop making stupid changes that ruin the fun for everyone. In its current state it is just a competition who is more toxic and not who is the better player.

    I loved this game, it's a great game several years ago, but in recent years, the game becomes more and more imbalanced, and you won't get much fun with this game anymore.
    It is ruined by Tencent. At first, this Chinese company only interfered with small things. And when their strategies bring more profits, they came into charge.

    League of Legends is the perfect embodiment of everything that is wrong with gaming.

The original developers, in one of the most underhanded abuses in gaming history, stole large amounts of information and ideas from the original DotA community and developers. Forming “Riot Games", they continued to make their own "casual" version of DotA with the intention of gaining as many casual players as possible and then extorting them monetarily.

    Riot is known for doing things like:

    - Releasing very strong champions, which entices people to buy them, and then nerfing them a week later.

    - Releasing skins for champions that overpowered, only to nerf them after the first week or two of the new skins coming out (kayle, udyr, etc)

    - Releasing new champions instead of fixing ones they have already released. They have been doing better recently, but at one point they were releasing champions every other week and completely ignoring the community.

    Speaking of community, League of Legends has quite possibly the worst community of any game ever. The amount of "circle jerk" that goes on within the community is completely embarrassing. Riot basically turns a blind eye to the large problem they face, and instead do things like tell people to not be mad at each other.

    Most actual, legitimate requests to help make the game better are shunned by the community. If you go on the forums and post actual, constructive talking points you will be showered in downvotes. If you go on the forums and post a picture of a female champion in a playboy suit, you will gain thousands of upvotes.

    League of Legends is also one of the worst designed game from a software perspective. I am a software developer by profession, and it constantly blows my mind how poorly designed this game is. There is countless design decisions which make no sense. Using Adobe Air was possibly the biggest blunder any "professional" gaming company has made in the last decade. The client constantly crashes, disconnects, and lags out.

    The game also looks pretty terrible, but that is something I don't mind much since I am usually more about the actual gameplay and performance of the engine.

    Riot as a developer are already pretty crappy just based on how they run their game, but they are even worse than they appear. Doing things like bribing professional gaming circuits to only play their game in the Dota-like category. Many of the higher-ups in the company are extremely stuck up thieves who made millions stealing other peoples ideas, and constantly post unprofessional and stupid things to the forums.

    If you are thinking about playing League of Legends, do yourself a favor and play Dota 2 instead. Dota 2 does everything that LoL did wrong right.    … Expand

    Positive note:
    - It proved that free to play can work
    - The game can run on older machines

    Although it claims to be "free", players are forced to either grind or pay up to unlock content needed to have a complete experience.

    My final recommendation?
    LoL is not worth the time and money when there are more well-polished alternatives that are truly free to play like Valve's Dota 2.    … Expand

    DOTA2 relies solely on skins to make money. LoL sells skins, but apparently that wasn't enough, so the flood their own market with mediocre toons.

    Their maps are stagnant and new games modes are rare (where's dm ffs?)

    Then there's the weak community. Half the players will spite their own team. If someone harrasses you and you speak your mind in return expect a "report". Since this happens every game and there's no oversight of what leads to "reports" expect regular bans unless you don't ever want to chat during the game (and even that won't help sometimes).

    Check out DOTA2. It's a solid game with years of history and balance and a more mature community. It's got a higher learning curve, but it's well worth it.    … Expand

It's simply a Pay to Win game. I can't put it any other way possible. Sure they have 10 free champions a week, but that's near nothing to what they have. All of the pros seemingly have spent a lot of money into this game, but they got there, not only because of their skill, but because of the money they spent. When it first came out, I'm sure it was great. I honestly wasn't there at the time. However, to these standards of today, it simply doesn't reach standards. Sure there are those people who absolutely love this game, but this game isn't simply for me. This game is too casual, unless of course you go to ranked (that's where they teach you how to be douches), for my liking. Everyone has their likes and dislikes, this is simply one of my dislikes.

Quite often I hear people blaming other players for allowing them to kill teammates and it's not always true. You can also get banned "for being noob". It's pretty hard to tell whether player is actually a beginner or noob. Graphics and sound effects are pretty good though.
    I'm not into this game too much, but my brother is. When I asked him to stop rapidly clicking, he said he he has to do that. I mean, what's the point of game, if you can break your mouse in month because it's "that" kind of game? Also, the game makes many people really angry and they keep saying, that they don't believe in human race anymore (that's what I've seen in many LoL videos). In other words this game makes people more aggressive.

From the disgusting character balancing (nerfing up champs, buffing op champs), to overpriced microxactions, dramatically overhauling champs voices/appearances after you've purchased them without your consent, the brain-dead-and-totally-not-band-aid-solution that was Tribunal (that backfired so hard, they shut it down), to FULLY AUTOMATED PERMA-BAN SYSTEM, to the most...depressing, immature, self-indulgent, braggadocious, narcissistic, report-happy, self-contradicting, impossible, unreasonable, fun-depriving, unimaginative, op-champ spamming, excessively elitist, personality-starved, and laughably stupidest community I have ever had the displeasure of being in contact with. Name any online game right now; WoW, CS:GO, HoN, ect I don't care; LoL has the - indisputably, hands down - THE WORST community I have ever seen. The first thing your opponents say is "omg im so high lol and my penis is huge" from player named Anime69forever and your teammates say "OMG IM LAGGING! MY CAT SAT ON THE KEYBOARD! MY MOUSE DIED!" and the 40 min flame war begins.

    I don't even have room to discuss all the garbage I've got on this company from bait-and-switch tactics with the new Gangplank/Captain skin, to deliberately making a tank meta so they can BANK on the anti-tank champs or make a new one, or how they handled Riven. "Hmm...Riven's op. Nerfs, or more skins? PSSH, DUH!" to which the community says "shes not op she takes skill".....HUH? How is that even relevant? What does the skillcap have to do with the champ's maximum potential? Nothing. They have to push this idea that they're winning cuz their skillllldddd because their divorcing parents don't have anything nice to say about them. Which leaves me to the basic review of the game.

    It's a casual game. Everything is easy to play as, has 4 buttons, and is mostly a roulette to whatever morons you're matched with. Admittedly, if and when it all works, its some of the most refreshing fun I've ever had in a game. I really do love it, but if 2 of your teammates wana go back and forth about each other's moms instead of playing, guess who isn't winning? The enemy is playing as the same 5 broken champs that smash everything, then they get fed off of your idiotic teammates; leaving you no choice but to turtle and wait out the game. By the 20 min mark, the score is 0-30, and you just hide in your base, waiting for the enemy to kill the neutral boss to get its buff then clean you up as everyone votes "no" to surrendering so they can spend the 30 min turtle flaming on! "REPORT MY TEAM TOXIC", then re-queue and repeat until you barf.

    But a recent incident was the last straw. I'm guessing my old email got hacked and the only override was using an old, dead phone I don't have anymore. Problem is, that old email was the one verified with my LoL account. When I requested help, it started promising enough, but out of nowhere, the genius player support says "I'LL FIX IT! I'LL ASK FER A PASSWURD CHAAAAAAAANGEEE11!!!11" and permanently locked me out of my own account. There goes 100's of dollars in champs, skins, and services, 1,000's of hours of gameplay, and any friends I met on there. GONE. FOREVER. POOF. (You may now ignore the previous paragraph and say "well its ur fault fer not changign email fone #"). Why should I spend any time/money/effort on a LoL account if there are soooo many ways for it to just POOF? None, and neither should you. Automated perma-ban system, clumsy customer support, screwy email accounts, auto-afk ban system (read other negative reviews) or false accusation (i.e., abusable "report" button where RIOT gets anal if you so much as critique someone) are just a few ways to lose years of gameplay instantly. Their customer support is absurdly incompetent.

    Which is such a shame! When the game works, its amazing! I love it! I love its art style, music, voice acting, character design, controls, variety of champs, sound effects, it really is a well crafted game, but whoever is in charge is destroying it, like how the same 10 champions are spammed every game and the community RUTHLESSLY defends the game's balance saying "You're still in bronze (lowest elo) because you suck" when if you look at any of their profiles, they only play 2 champs (i.e. Riven [600 games] Vayne [200] Thresh [50].)

    It is....such a mess. Don't play it. Convince your friends to stop playing it. Worst community, worst community management, worst balancing, incompetent customer service, numerous ways that their "ban bot" 's roulette will land on your name, community has no mind of their own, resorting to being sycophants for RIOT or the pro scene, over-priced micro transactions, new champ is always broken to ensure sales, broken champs get more skins instead of nerfs, the list goes on forever.

    And then after you dodge a game because you get into a such a team using addons like porofessor, you are forced to play another game with this same type of players because you will incur penalty for dodging games. So "Have fun" spending time with the OTP ezreal in midlane up against zedman 0/5 by the 10th min and refuse to surrender, wasting another 30 mins of your time, because "dodging is Bad and will cause MMR inflation", and guess what? you will still lose lp not due to any fault of your own. Even card games takes less RNG then this joke of a game. The only way i can see you climbing a realistically losing matchup is by 2v5 the entire enemy team that was fed with their team having 1 or 2 smurfs, possible? yea, Nearly impossible? definitely. And you lose 18 lp but gain 9 lp, i guess riot 200 years experience makes you think you have a machine as a brain that can function in perfect mode all the time, HAHAHAHAHA

    Oh and this game is a heavily disguised pay to win. After playing for more then a year i only unlock half of the champs pool in this game. To get more champs you either invest insane amount of time or spend $$ on passes, and the forums are filled with fanbois that downvote anything negative to our chinese emperors, but i will give it 2 stars because it does not hide the fact that it is a chinese company, unlike a certain big gaming company in the west LOL LOL.    … Expand

    In recent years (2020 now) it is only China game. It is hilarious, like RIOT sell themselves to communist country only because of moneys. :D

    The game is more quicker and very sharpened. You get everything or nothing. For "competetive" players it is something necessary. But not everybody are competetive robots.

    Gameplay is schematized and dull. No surprise. Only standard farming map with fights. Every game. Another "need" of competetive players. Very quickly you can get bored.

    After all, LOL is like fireworks. All colors , sounds mixed together - you get very easily exited. But in time, you can get bored. Not if you quickly skip to next firework/game.

    Yes, it is pay-to-play and pay-to-win. Paying people are clients not players. This is problem.

    Community is toxic. At this point is good to say, it is not only community error.
    The game itself keeps players under pressure. In case of competetive players it is (maybe) okay. But not for everybody. In games, especially competetive games, emotion comes and grows. A single mistake can have fatal aftermaths. And this is a problem of LOL.
    The game has a community that she raised herself.

    No voice chat in a multiplayer game that requires teamwork. Their reasoning behind this decision is that they believe if people can talk to one another toxicity will increase.

Their reasoning behind this decision is that they believe if people can talk to one another toxicity will increase. This doesn't seem to be the case, since compared to other games I've played; such as Overwatch, Apex Legends and Valorant, League has one of the most toxic communities. There are simple functions which can be added to address their concerns. An option to mute players and an option to not join VC either by default or when in game.

    The reason behind not adding VC is more likely due to incompetence or laziness, which is reflected in their client design and optimisation, server instability and lack of a proper banning system.

    The game is also designed to be more addicting than it is made to be an enjoyable experience. The sound effects of last hitting minions and getting a hefty shutdown reminds me of a slot machine at a casino and the match making and elo systems seems to try to keep you entrapped in your current elo. It is possible to rise in ranks, but promos just delays the process unnecessarily. Winning three out of five games seems reasonable since that is a win-rate over 50 percent, but that means within that window of five games you need to be lucky enough to either have two teams that are even in skill or your team having the advantage. If the matchmaking was better perhaps promos could be justified, but getting even teams seems to be a rare occurrence. Most of the time win percentages differ greatly e.g. my last 10 games had an average of 20% win rate disparity.

    So based upon my first review, The balance gets better once u know how to play it (i recommend to get a friend that knows it to explain to you) But the disconnecting penalty system is totally unreliable + they give you an option to explain your disconnects but theres no chance they will lift it (what exactly is the point of it then?)
    Bear this in mind before u read what my experience is:    So based upon my first review, The balance gets better once u know how to play it (i recommend to get a friend that knows it to explain to you) But the disconnecting penalty system is totally unreliable + they give you an option to explain your disconnects but theres no chance they will lift it (what exactly is the point of it then?)
    Bear this in mind before u read what my experience is:
    -"Q: I just got disconnected from two games! Am I Going to get banned?
    A: Probably not. The system will nail you only for a pattern of doing this."
    -"On December 14th, we launched our automated leaver banning system. The purpose of this system is to dissuade players from leaving games/going AFK. We do this first by giving a warning, and then banning in larger and larger increments when players leave games/go AFK."
    -"Q: How long can I get banned for?
    A: The automated system can ban you for anywhere between 1 hour and 7 days for any particular issue. However, we will be sweeping the records, and will periodically perma-ban people that hit the 7 day ban too many times."
    -"Q: How do I 'work off' leaves?
    A: You can reduce points either through time (having no penalties for several weeks), and through every game you complete in matchmaking that was not a leave or that you contributed to for the whole duration of the game."
    In my experience: i have 3 disconnects, 1st one i didnt know about this system, 2nd one i had to leave because an emergency in real life, 3th one i got disconnected by a a gamefreeze because the server was extremely lagging, took up to 5-6 seconds before my character did what i told it to do and therefore it was unplayable anyway.
    1st: leaving 2 games is not a pattern => apparently leaving 3 games is, cause i got suspended for a day (!)
    2nd: So according to their FAQ they could have just suspended my account for an hour which seems more 'reasonable' if they really wanted to ban my account for those 3 leaves. instead i got a full day.
    3th: I would also like to warn anyone on planning playing this game that IF u leave (based upon my XP) for about 10 games probably, you will get banned for 7 days. And if u do this often you will get PERM banned.
    4th: They claim to send u a warning trough email if your disconnecting level gets to high.
    This is a lie period. I triple checked my e-mail and the only thing i've found was the email they sent me when i actually got the suspension.

    5th: The system is completely unreliable as there are too many variables that need to be taken in account when you enforce this kind of system. for instance: PC crash, modem crash, game freezes and not starting up again, Real life mathers,..

    Its a noble idea but it lacks a lot in execution. If u are a die hard pro this system then i can only say, wait untill ur game crashes a few times or ur power drops out or whatever else can happen to you and u get banned for a couple days because of that and thats the point. There is no reliability Banning for 3 dissconnects, without a warning, without a so called pattern they mentioned, 3times is not a pattern whatsoever. And instead one hour a day = sad.

    Other games require people to be there and participate as well and its very annoying if one of em leaves for any of the reasons i described above but yet its understandable that u can run into situations you dont have any choice.
    Tho these games do not have this penalty system and still work fine without it.
    games like CoH, Starcraft, WC3,.. pretty much any good strategy game out there.
    Yes you will most likely lose games because of this but everyone will encounter that at a certain point.

    Here a part of my useless message to riotgames related to that suspension:

    "First time i read that message i wasn't really happy with something like that, sure if a player leaves that screws up the game for others. But same story with new players who dont know how to play the game yet. The main question raises in my mind is: Is riotgames going to suspend accounts for being new and screw up the game for others by not knowing how to play? Are you going to suspend accounts for people that have to leave because of an emergency?
    This whole concept sounds like a noble idea to prevent ragequitting but there is no way to know the reasons why anyone would leave a game. Some find it a good idea, im one of the people that saying its noble but not reliable at all period.

    regards, Tritrium"

    In the end its no use to send them messages as they wont lift bans.

    3 disconnects -> no warning = a day banned.
    If i didnt know any better i would say this is quite insane for leaving 3 games.

She can easily dodge skillshots with her jump and there is no way to trade efficiently because of her pop skill. The sad thing is Kallista gets stronger in lane with levels.

    Thresh and Tahm are top support champs right now. Thresh is still completely broken. It makes tower diving and ganking much much easier, but he can still hook and zone and deal tons of damage... Tahm has a similar problem where they can just do too much, the cheap giant shield is ridiculous, he already teleports like tf onto someone and throws its teammate at them AND has the ability to slow and stun from range....

    Low quality graphics and unbalanced heroes are the immediately apparent shortfalls of this game. Then comes the limited hero roster and grinding that is required to unlock the full game.

    Now, maybe I should start out by pointing out the positives about    One of the worst notable MOBAs available, while at the same time, clearly because of dark magics and Riot sacrificing the souls of its employees to Satan, the most popular one. Why is it popular? Well, because it's simple. It's actually absolute faceroll up to high platinum, some games feel like you're playing with bots.

    Now, maybe I should start out by pointing out the positives about LoL?

    OK, so this game is fun... if you're playing with friends. Except there are hundreds of games that are way more fun with friends. This argument is completely irrelevant, if a game is not fun without friends, then it's just not fun, so when someone tells you "LoL is fun when you're playing with friends", you can tell them just that. Every game is fun with friends. LoL is the epitome of an anti-fun game. The community is by far the worst community that was and ever will be, not even elitistjerks.com had scumbags the likes you meet in every LoL match.

    So, that's about the only positive I can think of regarding LoL.

    Now, the negatives. Oh, boy. I think I'd have to write that review for 2 hours just to get this right.

    The servers are absolute mess. For 2 years now EU players are waiting for DECENT (not even perfect, just DECENT) servers. Back when I played, EU West had queues almost every day and there were regular lagfests, twice a week was pretty much a minimum. Riot is a multi-billion dollar company, and it's unable (or rather, unwilling) to deliver EU players proper servers.

    Balance. Or rather - lack of balance. There are a few champions that are broken by design and countless nerfs just can't fix them. There are dozens of champions that are underpowered and as such are never, ever, picked in competitive scene. Compare that to DOTA2, where pretty much every character is very much playable in competitive scene, and you'll get the picture. There are also champions that are inherently OP and can do twice as much as the UP ones with half the effort. And then, instead of trying to balance the game, Riot is busy adding more champions that only ruin the game ever further.

    The client. Oh god, the client. Such a terrible piece of **** It's laggy, often unresponsive, clunky and... Damn, words can't express how bad the LoL client is.

    The community. Oh wait, I talked about that already. Just let me say again, LoL's community is the gutter of PC players' pool. During my whole 8 years in WoW I have not met as many antipathic, toxic, immature, despicable and mentally unstable human beings as I have in a week in LoL (I played LoL for over 2 years, so you can get the picture). And then WoW community isn't exactly known for being social, polite and helpful, neither.

    The game is P2W. It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to farm up for everything you need to start playing ranked games. It just can't be done. A year or so ago I've read a chart that explained how long you'd have to play to get all champions and runes in game. It was over a year worth of time. A year of your life. You'd have to work full time for 3 years to unlock everything without buying RP. If you don't have runes and most champions, you are at a disadvantage in competitive play. This is pure P2W.

    Oh well, I don't have time not space to write much more, so I'll leave it all at that. Stay away from this game, it's simply not worth the time and nerves.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

    This game only deserves a 1 because it is functional. Aside from that not much can be said for any other aspect of this game. Firstly the game is not even cohesive with its menu system, you must trudge through 3 windows just to get to play the game itself.

Then you can pick from a selection of a few free champions for scrubs while the people who pay prance around with their best champions wiping the floor with people struggling to learn new champions before they are rerolled. This game reeks of pay to win with runes and masteries that give paid players advantages over those who don't cough up any cash. The graphics are awful and belong in the 90s as we'll as the community who are mostly ****… Expand

    so, i've been playing this game for a while now, and i gotta tell you it sucks, at most this is a waste of battery life, and i know the developers only want you to play so you can "invest" in new champions and skins, no this game sucks ass

    If your gonna have a MOBA with over 100 characters to play atleast try to balance them out. Its pathetic how some champions are just dead due to the fact that the kits they have are "Not for the current meta". Riot should have stopped in 2013.

    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.
