    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

    This game is currently the most popular MOBA for several reasons : It is colorful, more simple to handle than most of its counterparts, and as such less frustrating. There is a lot of content, and even after several years, more new content is coming.

There is a lot of content, and even after several years, more new content is coming.

    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

    Great game but after playing 3k hours of DotA LoL seems very easy and casual to me, which is great because its very relaxing. The hate must stop games like Dota, LoL and Smite are amazing when you know what you're doing.

    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.
