    I test, Is equal dota but more simple, too much publicity, much RatBoy, graphics hurt your eyes, are cutesy, kitsche, and highly generic, its unappealing to anime fans, easy and boring.

    They couldn't build this game with balance that is why they are nerfing and buffing heroes all the time and the graphics when there is a game like Dota 2 why do you even bother to play this.

    Bad community. Ugly/outdated graphics. Oversimplistic UI. You need to pay to unlock champions. Avoid at all cost.

Then you come to the player aspect. I have NEVER been so disrespected SO often for NO REASON!! People ruin your games for fun, go into ranked with the soul purpose of leaving or feeding. Now, and this is my favorite. THIS GAME IS FULL OF CHEATERS/SCRIPTERS FROM THE GROUND UP!!! They only just recently added a report feature to bring up cheating. Some Champions have 5 or 10 skins, when other champions have an alternate that came out with the champion. They update features, without even considering that the updates they make might affect other aspects of the game for the worse, and trust me...they generally always affect the game for the worse. Instead of League of Legends, compared to heroes of the storm....this game is filth. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. yeas ago this used to be a decent game, i returned to play again and it is a far cry from what it was.
    To say this community is the worst of any on line game is being kind, and RIOT has given up an policing it, Expect tot be banned if you speak at all, but do expect racist, verbal abuse, and large portion of the player base to be there purely to ruin your game, and the punishment system is run by the same players

    I am sorry to see what used to be a good game, unless you plan on never speaking or having someone level up your account for RLM this game 's community makes it unworthy of play

    A game for kids, made by grown-up kids. I stopped playing this game for a year (community reasons) and I comeback to see that the thing changed... for worse. There are more kids, there are more trolls, etc..
    The worst thing? You can get banned for saying "bad stuff". You can't even express yourself in this game because if you say something bad you might get banned.
    Well. They should ban

    Also the nerf and buff problem is HUGE. The game is always based on which character is the best atm and every game you see that character or it's "banned".

    Let me be straight with this. I used to LOVE this game. However, that was years ago and it has gone downhill really fast. First they tried to balance around the highest skill level and scared off all the casual players. Then the messed up balancing trying to appeal to a larger audience and even the pros are all sick of Riot.
    Riot is also owned by Tencent which is just evil and greed

    Riot is also owned by Tencent which is just evil and greed incarnate. The game is designed in a way that challenges you and seems really fun and appealing, but in reality it's a trap. The community is the most toxic one I've ever encountered. Teamwork is essential, but no one wants to work together. The banning system is a joke. The ranked system is mess filled with boosters and smurfs. Their coding is completely made out of spaghetti. They just keep putting out broken **** to try and make more money. **** this game, and **** this company.

    The game is impossible to enjoy as a new player with the massive influx of smurf accounts from higher level players. Only a small fraction of the heroes are actually viable (the game has 130+ heroes, ofc it's not balanced). Overall it's just not fun, it's frustrating and does not lend itself to new players. I shouldn't have to spend 8 hours on youtube to play a video game lol.

    Sure, i've met some fun people in the past, but i've also met some of the most addicted, deranged and toxic people ON THE PLANET in this miserable excuse for entertainment.

    Isn't the whole point of games supposed to be, FUN? Well League isn't fun unless you're winning, and you don't always win, and you better believe more often then not you'll get blamed for it.

    I love the character designs, i love the lore, i love my main champs (Teemo, Tristana, Annie, Kayn) and the gameplay isn't TERRIBLE -but the COMMUNITY and MANAGEMENT are HORRENDOUS.

    Microtransactions are GARBAGE, Community support is GARBAGE, Balancing is GARBAGE, Premades ruin most solo-queue games and abuse of the report system is COMMON.

    RIOT DOES NOTHING. (UNLESS IT INVOLVES GETTING YOUR MONEY.)

    This game is like an abusive relationship, you try to make it work but it just treats you like garbage - and you keep coming back for more because you don't know when to quit.

    And to make matters WORSE, i met my ex-girlfriend in League, I flew across the country and we lived together for THREE YEARS only for her to dump me and leave me to die out in the desert without any remorse because she has severe emotional issues.

Same goes for events. You have to purchase an battle pass to get all event rewards. Sadly but this game has become Pay2Win. Also you can't play a game without having flamer in your or enemy team. EVERY game. It's like 99% of the player base are children who can not play the game without flame their team. Riot please remove tanks out of the game. This class is totally useless sinse there are so many ways to easily kill tanks. I hardly ever seen a tank being so useless like in this game. Also I play only ARAM because people can not stop babysitting in normal games. The sad thing is that there are like 1 million champions but you can play only like 20 of them in Aram. Why we can not just play all of the we own Riot? Sometimes I get killed by invisible projectiles. How is that even a thing? I walk behind the tower and BAM am dead. Also the lag... the lag is real in this 12 year old game. Expand

    In this game mode there is zero on skills and all based on what chr you get.

    This game are infested with bug on every update, and when Riot updates the software then they generate new bugs.

    Riot is awful when it comes to balancing their characters and even worse at remembering that certain ones exist. One that comes to mind is shaco.

He was nerfed consecutively because riot felt that his burst damage was too good, so they nerfed him, did a "minor" rework to damage scaling, nerfed him again, then both reworked and nerfed him at the same time. Meanwhile champions like talon, rengar, yi, and zed possessed easier and more consistent methods to doing strong burst attacks that delt significantly more damage. Another problem is how they keep pumping out new champions yet many currently existing champions have not received new content whatsoever. Kindred has been out for quite some time and hasnt even recieved a new skin, while the recently reworked urgot got a new deluxe skin. So honestly even if it is a fun game i cannot say it is a good game, with all these issues i cannot say with a straight face that this game deserves more than a 1. Expand

    My review is not something new but it's good to say how bad this game is:

    -Unbalanced champions, obviously Riot doesn't know how to balance his game.
    -A very very VERY toxic community, its hard to make friends in this game.
    -Smurfs are EVERYWHERE, i mean, for the most part, you can't even enjoy normal games because there's very good players that use secondary accounts so new players in the game aren't very welcome.
    -Trolls are very common in this game and they can screw up your game easily, and don't try to insult them because you'll end up penalized.
    -There's loot boxes in this game and they're so UNNECESSARY
    -Talking about penalized, if you decide to be "toxic" and you insult your teammates with bad words, they can report you and your account can be banned forever, it doesn't matter if you spent a thousand of dollars in this game, and yeah, there are better solutions like ban your chat or something like that, there's no reason to ban permanently an account just because you're toxic.
    -You can play other game modes: ARAM, TFT (Teamfight Tactics) and "seasonably game modes", but these are so bad. ARAM is a single line where the champions are random, so there's no strategy here, just luck. TFT is a terrible rip-off of Dota Underlords, so RNG is everything here. The aforementioned "seasonably game modes" are game modes (obviously) that are for a limited time, they can be fun at first, but then you'll feel these modes are just boring and repetitive, sometimes they're even unbalanced (One For All is an example, you and your teammates have the same champions)
    -Riot Games is, in my opinion, the worst developers ever, its a shame that there are people supporting these developers.

    Just play something else, don't ruin your life with this.

    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.
