    i wouldn’t suggest to play this game if u don’t have patience or tolerance to hi level players. This game is pushing you out in early stage. what i am saying is that You just get killed constantly until you start feeling terrible and if u leave u get punished.. So you have no way out for 15 or more minutes because surrendering isn’t working if one of 5 is saying no (so far met only No's )i wouldn’t suggest to play this game if u don’t have patience or tolerance to hi level players.

So you have no way out for 15 or more minutes because surrendering isn’t working if one of 5 is saying no (so far met only No's )
    Some champions deal way too much damage what i mean is that they take a kill in 2 hits and some of them need more than 10 hits to kill non armoured champion when u being full damage is not enough, maybe it is because there is one level difference that makes enemy so much heavier but still makes no sense when you are 3/0/2-14 lvl and u get killed by 6/7/3-13 lvl just because he is hitting 1200 in two hits (when you full health is 1200-1300 ) and with one damage item plus one armour item and you with 2 full damage items that Riot him self is offering against that champion to build can kill him with 10 hits..
    Game has no engine that separates old experienced players from new ones. So you start as a new player and by trying to find out how to play atm other players already know well your every step. Off course u simply get farmed for full 30 minutes and just because one guy from your team says no to surrendering u have to sit it out with only bad experience. So all those 30 minutes you literally have nothing to do but walk around in fear to be killed again and bare all those flames from your team and in the end of the game just get reported and again receive punishment from riot. After that you get hard stuck in between other bad, punished gamers as a siting duck versus enemy team that is playing way better. You can clearly see how bad this mach making mechanism is working, because you get constantly enemies with higher levels or higher mmr that is putting u behind in mmr just because you had bad start with 1st games by getting reported. Going Ranked is not tie games it is always ranked for one side and mostly not for u.. So if u are not ready to try super hard don’t even try going ranked because you will end up playing versus enemy team that is feed and maybe, maybe if you are lucky you will have one in ur team that is getting some kills before they start ganking together that one guy.    … Expand

    I like this MOBA Games. The character, The arena, the movie scene, the tournament crowd and another else it's amazing. But sometimes we can't play with the best champion because there is some player have a less money so that's make us hard to play well.

    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.

    LoL is a brilliant game that provides a very unique experience to me. Each champion is unique to master, and the battles are always exciting. It's not without it's flaws; it can be frustrating at times, and there are usually balancing issues when new champions and such come out, but the creative team are clearly very dedicated to making the game a fun and challenging experience.

(Just go to a LAN to see what I'm talking about) However it is just far too boring for my tastes. I realize that the learning curve is VERY high and that some feel its extremely addicting but a RTS that involves controlling a single unit most of the time is just too boring. Some say that the multilayer brings more depth to the game but in my experience it just adds more randomness to the players experience. Will you be matched with a balanced team or get steamrolled? Will you sit at the load screen waiting for a match to begin only to realize you've wasted your time? Will half your team quit at the drop of a hat?
    Then there's the visual style which to me is offensive to the eye. Over-saturated colors and a hideously "busy" graphical styles are not aesthetically pleasing to me. Add to this the terrible sound effects (particularly hearing the announcer woman rattle off info CONSTANTLY) and the experience becomes even less pleasant. Worst of all is the games pricing model. Free2play can be done correctly. Team Fortress 2 is a perfect example. Money spent is primarily on cosmetic items and any weapons found in the store can easily be earned for traded for in-game. LoL on the otherhand gives a distinct advantage to players who either spend money or those with lots of play-time. Level ups and the horribly clunky "ruin" system make skill far less important. Don't get me wrong. The tremendous learning curve of LoL means experienced players will win over newer ones time and time again. The devs like to think the matchmaking system works well, but its just not the case and teams are notoriously unbalanced.

    So why give this game a 0? Despite the many hours (for my friends sake) that I've wasted on this game I have never enjoyed myself even for a brief moment. I understand that people love it. It wouldn't be the most poplar game in the world if they weren't having fun, but for me this is an experience I can do without.    … Expand

Games on average are approximately 35 minutes, but can go as long as an hour.

    There are champion bundles that can be purchased for similar prices of other, cheap games. This allows you to have a decent collection of champions when getting right into things.

    People need to understand that creating these games costs money. The business requires a method of generating income. Anyone complaining that Riot Games makes it more desirable to purchase Riot points than it is to generate influence points needs to rethink this topic.

    It should be mentioned that no specific benefit is gained by purchasing riot points. They cannot be used to give an advantage over free players. The only benefit to spending actual money is that you do not need to spend the time.

    New champions are released every two weeks. The second week they are out, they put up as Free to play for one week. They rotate champions on a weekly basis, ensuring that all of the roles are filled by free picks (support, dps, tanky dps, tanks, mage, etc)

    Someone who does not have the expendable income to spend on the game, and also does not have much time to play, will need to be content with the free champions until they find one that they truly want to play as their main champion and purchase it.

    It should be noted that most players tend to stick to 3-6 champs that they play most often.

    A great game. A great price. A great business model.

Every character feels the same and plays the same as the other. You can only play 10 of the entire pool of heroes per week, unless you pay them money or play excessively long to unlock some. Invisible and different heroes are the awful, because they are so weak as to be made completely useless, to protect the noob players.

    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.    … Expand

    The problem with League of Legends isn't a problem with the game itself per se (although there are quite a few flaws in the system that, although not gamebreakers, do ruin the experience), but rather, with the absolutely terrible community and the design of MOBA's themselves.

Firstly, although there are many genuine gamers in the LoL community who are just out there to have fun, and at times truly do want to help new and struggling players, the vast majority of LoL players are complete and utter jackasses that are completely self-centered in an entirely team-based game. I keep finding myself playing horrible games where a single teammate will just ruin it for everyone by being a complete dick to everyone on the team. In fact, I find people who dont understand how to play a more enjoyable teammate than one that just completely ruins the experience with his mindless drivel. But, I think this problem stems from the MOBA genre itself.

    Although LoL has many features to reduce the severity of this problem (no loss of gold on death, lower champion level cap, etc), MOBA's are very, very infuriating to play when you can't play them right. Games usually just boil down to "Who can make the most mistakes first" instead of actual knowledge and skill, and this only increases the amount of anger, which in turn increases the amount of mistakes and creates a vicious cycle only dedicated players can escape from. A lot of people talk about "ELO Hell" and how it doesn't or does exist, and I think that it does exist for some and not for others, mainly because of this. LoL is great for people new to the MOBA genre since it seems to be the most user-friendly of them all (DOTA 2 is VERY punishing towards noobies), but even a benevolent dictator is a dictator.

    It's a pretty nice and easy introduction to the MOBA genre, much easier than the other options on the market and free if you choose to not get skins. However, the community is horrible and the client is hopelessly outdated. Each game lasts quite long and is very monotonous however. It's hard to play more than 1 or 2 games in a row.

    When I and other users say that League of Legends (LoL) has the one of the worst community to ever exist, we're not exaggerating. The sheer amount of raging, abuse and trolling from other players is staggering.

The sheer amount of raging, abuse and trolling from other players is staggering. The problem stems from LoL being a VERY competetive game, where you have to rely on 4 random players to fulfill certain roles and complete certain objectives, it's a recipe for a bad community.

    Because of how team oriented LoL is, solo queue can be an exercise is frustration, simply because alot of games can boil down to which team has the most incompentant players, trolls, feeders, AFK'ers etc, thus skill not really playing a major part in the outcome of many games.

    The gameplay can be fun and addicting, with plenty of champions to play that keep things fresh. Unfortunately with the vast amount of champions in the game, some are blatantly overpowered and some are just not viable at all in the current meta.

    Overall, LoL has too many issues to be considered a great game, with the community being the largest issue.    … Expand

    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.

    Awful business model compared to it's main competitor. You have to pay for or grind champions to play with. Aesthetic is not that different from the game which inspired it DOTA, despite being the newer game. Community is horrible, which I guess comes with the territory game is very linear and imbalanced.

    I tried picking up the game multiple times with my buddies but we always lose interest. Like many other moba's the community is atrocious. For people new to the game League of legends is essentially a pay to win game. Graphics wise things looks great and the game would attract a much more diverse demographic if they get rid of the majority of NSFW aspects of the game.

It requires a rather fast computer to be able to play effectively, and games tend to take a while, so don't play if you can't finish the match. The game is rather difficult to get into, as there is a lot to it to learn and get better at, and it's rather slow going when it comes to unlocking new champions to use. There is a lot of customization involved, so you can definitely use your own play style, but this is also dangerous if you don't know much about what you're doing. Overall, it's a fun, well-designed competitive game, and I highly recommend it to those who have the time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would consider this is a casual online game running by a investment company. Riot try to promo this game as professional/competitive game, but run in the opposite way. I even doubt whether they understand their product in deep.

    1. characters are unbalance. You can find the counter characters easily. It makes the game less competitive and boring.

    2. lazy client service. No matter what your request is, the answer would be the same.

    3. Dishonest company. These people care more about the advertisement and quantity of players rather than the quality. Lots of fake statements and statistic data you can find here. Riot try to make people believe that being nice is the way for the win but not skill.

    4. crazy language/mind control. There is no freedom of speaking in this game at all. You cannot say anything negative to anyone, even though they are completely unskill.

    5. negative attitude/unskill players in the game. Most players do not care about the win/lose, and these players are usually bad. Nothing you can do for yourself, and you have to chill them up, just like a babysitter.

    6. matching system. I cannot tell they ever improve the matching system. I had a unrank player in silver 2 rank game before, which was ridiculous.    … Expand

Because when you're asked to wait hour to log you have to waste this hour for smth, and in most cases after like 55mins of waiting you will get server disconnected mssg anyway and will have to start all over again.

    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.

Out of my 1500 hours I probably sat around wishing I wasn't in a particular match, or waiting in queues, or being extremely frustrated for about 200 hours. This is a generous estimate btw, it was most likely more time.

The real balance issues are minor, and when I say that I dismiss the slew of complaints from players who mistake the objective of the game to be killing other players, rather than winning. I'd have given a 9.5 if it were an option, but settled on 9 because, of course, the game isn't *quite* perfect.… Expand

    this is a really, really fun game. It's multiplayer only, so it's rough if you expect to learn in single player, but it's a lot easier to get into than DOTA, and its a lot less punishing in feel with a much nicer community. Supposedly its very competitive too. I like the faster pace and greater emphasis on team combat compared to DOTA.

    One of the best RTS games in our generation. It is updated regularly and champions added regularly. There are very many champions currently with different ways of play style such as Attack Damage(AD/DPS) Ability Power(AP/Mage) Tank and Support.

    I guess I'm alone on this but this game is so boring. It's like WoW mechanics just pick a spell pick a bad guy and hope you don't run out of mana/health. The teamwork aspect is nice however doesn't hold enough to spark my interest.

The balancing is very good with only minor balance issues but really, its impossible to have a completely balance game with 70+ indiviually unique champions.

    I think this game is really addictive so far. I like it a lot more than the competitor game Heroes of Newerth and Dota. They have tons of original heroes, and a lot of long term goals for the game. It looks really promising. They're pretty strict in enforcing language and behavioral issues, so make sure to not use any racial slurs or stuff like that! Go Riot ! :D

    League of legends is just a great game. The challenge to unlock all champions just makes the game playable for a long time, instead of some games that have only few unlocks.
    And its so easy to find a game to participate in, it just takes like 2-3 seconds to find one.
    The games has his downside, but the game play just makes it all up. So that's why i give League of legends a 9 out of 10.

    Overall it is fun, but Riot has turned to the darkside. This is obvious by the many posts on the forums reporting bugs or massive problems that Riot fails to recognize. It is not us silly player simply reinstall your game which rarely if ever fixes anything. They released an ARAM map which most new computers have FPS fluxes and massive lag that is only fixed by toning down the graphics. In all honesty Riot simply does not know how to optimize a game.

    There are countless bugs on champ release dates and old bugs resurface which in all honest makes me believe that the PBE server is just for making sure the new champ is powerful enough to drain the wallets of players.

    Riot is a bunch of greedy Champions used to be 6300 which if you played solidly each month you could have the new champ by release if you wanted. Now they are 7800 and drop back down after a week. This was simply a ploy by Riot to get more money which I am sure they are doing.

    Riot works in 3 steps.

    1)Relase OP Champ
    2) Profit
    3)Nerf champ into ground

    Morello is a joke. He is the head designer and main balance king and he is not even out of Silver. He is just an average joe. Why is he in charge of anything?

    The fact they built this on Adobe Air is retarded. The first lesson I learned in school and college when taking App design classes was Adobe Air is don't use it AT ALL.

    To address the kids who say this game is Pay 2 Win. You are right. Kids who say it is not. Get Riots sack out of your mouth. I will break it down simply for you to show you how it is Pay 2 Win.

    There are 2 friends Mike and Joe. Mike has disposable income/Parents Credit Car and Joe barely makes rent/is Kenny McCormick

    They both are still able to play the same amount of games.

    Mike is able to buy EXP boosts and IP boosts as well as new champs on release, while Joe can only use IP to get champs.

    Very quickly Mikes champ pool is huge as he has been able to use all IP on runes for his Rune pages while Joe doesn'thave a single page full of runes and only a few champs that he loves that have been nerfed and are no longer viable that he spent IP on.

    Mike is already at a huge advantage to every other person like Joe who plays the game. It is very close to how professional sports are. More the best things. Which is why pro sports are somewhat stale.

    THis game used to be fun but in short the game is too big for Riots britches and it is going to hell very quickly. Client is garbage and Riot is just exploiting their Players.

    What is this? Riot is bringing back the rare X-MAS and Halloween Skins? I WONDER WHY!? TO MAKE MORE MONEY

    Riot go yourselves. People of the Meta stay away from this game. Play anything else. FPS, DOTA2, Women, anything is worth your time more so than LoL.

    Being a very long member of the LoL community, I would say this game is too heavily reliant on your team (and nothing else). It punishes you more for other teammates' mistakes and less rewarding for your own achievements. But! The premades and friends you make could more than make up for it (maybe...).

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
