    Beautiful game, not based on buy to play, good graphics compared to LOL, its very simple, fast and short game,

    is made for anyone who wants to play a good game without paying a weight which I think is perfect for me, perfect for you

    This game is really bad. I lost my time downloading it, and trying to play. Doesn't worth the name it has. You should think about having a Super Nintendo before downloading it

    'Free to play' is attractive, but this is not fun. Honestly, I do not know why. When I play this game, I feel so boring. Free, but do not want to. [Waste of time]

    They have the worst matchmaking. I can't believe any company would do such a big mistake to allow duo q option into a solo competitive mode. I'm talking about their ranked matchmaking. It sucks so much when you see high elo people carrying low elo friends through duo q.. ruining the fun for everyone.

    I'll put it short, this game is awful. I got bored within the first 5 minutes, then in another 5 minutes I get frustrated from the awful learning curve this game has. If you have played MOBA games before, then you may be at home. Otherwise, proceed with caution, and keep a grasp on your sanity. (I played with Bots, so I'd hate to play this with other people.)

    At first, I get a lot of fun from this game. But with the passage of time, I get bored from the game, all the things in the game just like wasting your time, you have to 30 lvl to join ranked.

But with the passage of time, I get bored from the game, all the things in the game just like wasting your time, you have to 30 lvl to join ranked. And the game art, skin of the champions is totally very bad, all of the skin is not suitable of the champion.At last the graphic of this game, this game graphic didn't update for years and there are more and more choices for me to choose from, and I am not going the choose this game.

    Some other people said this game add a new hero every month, yeah, really, but didn't you find that each time they release a hero, that is very strong, powerful, expensive, like the Aatrox. And like after 1 week or 2 weeks, it get nerfed, it just like cheating you to buy the hero.

    The graphic, the graphic engine is really really old, it is almost same with WC3.

    The balance. In my view, I don't think League champions is imbalanced, because they are all same.
    But in the other way the rune and they way of purchasing champions is imbalanced, you have to use a lot of time to bank the credit to buy the champion you want, if you want to save your time? Buy it using your real money, this way make the game become Pay to Win. Again example of Aatrox, if you want to become powerful? Buy it, and you will get fake, because it get nerfed after a week, and now you want to buy another champion. Also the skin of those champions, most of the time you can't get a skin without paying the real money.

    As every know that this game borrowed some mechanics from DotA, and "improve" it to a more easy game, as soon you will find that most of the game mechanics and strategies are gone, it makes the game bored, every game is same. One of the reason is because Game not rewarding players for learning advanced mechanics, the players will just keep using the basic mechanics. So every game you will get some team mate which people call them "NOOB" No offence. This is why I gave up this game.

    The players in league is also bad, like they complaint about the game balance, they said that skill is too fxxkin' OP, that is because they don't have to skills to counter it, most of them are not mature

    At last I don't really recommend you to play this game, because its really bored, wasting time to compete with player only know the basic.

    Not worthy to be called a game. Devs don't give a damn crap about the game. Instead, they put a lot of money into making music for this game so the game gets popular (Imagine Dragons). Don't excect any good patches/champions rework, since Riot never heard the word 'balance' before. Are you retarded, you have no life, and no friends? Then League of Legends is something for you.

    Bad Free to Play Model;
    Bad Rune system, makes you need to play for months before you can go to Ranked games;
    Bad Community;
    TOTALLY imbalanced...

    The community is horrible, expect to lose your sanity as every game, there are 9 other kids who want to **** your mother. Add to that the fact that starting is so difficult due to over priced champions and unfair mechanics for newcomers. Riot dont give a **** either, they just want your monies for their stupid skins.

    Just finished a game where the other team bragged about winning when i had a 1-10 and 2-9 both running suicide missions and refusing to group with the team!

    If this sounds like fun to you please play! Often games are over by 5 minutes because of feeders and leavers but you have to wait till 20 minutes to leave or else you earn a ban

    This game is the best game ever. 15 year old graphics with cartoon characters that all have same abilities and are released more often than CoD map packs.

This game has an amazing community, people never yell at you while they allow you to pick any champion you want despite it being picked 3 times already on the team. Champion design is amazing as well, I like how well developed female chars are and how deep their personality is. All in all, best game ever without any doubt. Expand

    It's basically "baby's first moba" it takes really no skill to play and it's just an all around casual-fest for players with less skill but want to pretend they're good by playing any number of riot's broken champions. It's a really bad game it's only fun if you're completely new to the moba scene and have no idea what you're doing. If you lack skill in spades this is the game to play.

    lmao this game is terrible. every champion has a dash and auto attack modifier. You have to buy the champions and you have to buy runes and Mastery Points? Is this an RPG or a MOBA?

    Quite bad MOBA. After playing countless hours of both this and Dota, I can say that a lot of the things are copied from DotA. Maybe not fully, but still somehow.

The community in League of Legends is really, really bad. I can't have a singe solo/duo game without a single feeder/troll/flamer (Note: if you have a premade of 5, you are probably going to have a good game). Kids are on every corner, and if they play bad, they call lag and useless team mates. Really... lag? I can run this game 120 fps while having maxed out graphics. The cartoon-ish graphic style is lightweight, and should run on pretty much anything. I have not played enough this game, you say? I started on season 1, and quitted around February on season 3. I was on 1700 elo, and still there were a lot of douches. Atleast is it not ruined with constant IAP. Skins are okay and quite a fun idea in my opinion. But still there are a few exceptions. I have to pay money for new icons? That's stupid. Expand

    Worst free 2 play implementations of any of the mobas. You will never be able to afford more than a color swap for a single champion unless you buy skins for the ridiculous price of about 10$ each. Some of them cost as much as 20$. You also only get to pick from the 10 free champions of the week until you play A LOT of games and manage to buy yourself more.

    The game also lacks the diversity, balance and depth other mobas have with people picking out of the same 20-30 champions every time. Also the meta is stuck that if you do not have 1 tank top, 1 ap carry mid, 1 ad carry and support bot and 1 jungler, someone's gonna get reported.

    Very easy, does not offer challenges for those who usually play games of this genre. There is no strategy. The roles are completely static. It's imbalanced. The servers do not seem to have a good structure. Graphics overtaken.

    There are other better games

    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.

    Improvements are constantly being updated and although team mates make or break many matches, there is genuine fun to be found.
