League of Legends (often abbreviated as LoL) is an multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows, inspired by the Defense of the Ancients (DotA) map for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.It was first announced on October 7, 2008, and released on October 27, 2009.The game was in a closed beta from April 10, 2009, to October 22, 2009. It then transitioned to open beta until release.

Players are formed into 2 even teams with 1–5 Champion(s) on each team. Each team starts at opposing sides of a map in an area called the "fountain", near what is called a "Nexus". A match is won when either the opposing team's Nexus is destroyed or the other team surrenders. To destroy a Nexus, each team must work through a series of towers called "Turrets". Turrets are often placed along a path to each base referred to as a "Lane". Along the way, each player gains levels from killing the opposing team's champions and "Minions" (small NPCs that constantly spawn and attack the other team) and defeating neutral monsters (some of which grant buffs known as crests upon death). Killing enemies allows champions to purchase "Items" with in-match gold to improve their statistics. In League of Legends, each player starts at level 1 at the beginning of the match and can obtain the maximum of level 18 with their champion, leveling 4 different champion-specific abilities.

Generally speaking, League of Legends was (and still is) one of the greatest MOBA games ever. It's daily peak used to tend from 15 to 25 million players every day during the 2nd game season (2012) and with a lot of marketing and advertising, it dethroned the king of Multiplayer...Continue reading...

League of Legends. Who haven't heard that name? Any respected gamer knows at least the name of the game, but let's go deeper. I've been playing since June 2014. Not much, I know. Still, I have spend over 730 hours on that game, so I think I have enough experience...Continue reading...

I don't think I've ever played a competitive online game that can be so rewarding in victory and so enraging and debilitating in defeat. I agree about the community being so toxic, though. That's why I pretty much will only play with friends and choose to never play with randoms.

For a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, League of Legends evolved itself from the very Alpha stage, building the community on a fast rate and reaching top charts in the present gaming era. The only bad thing is the amount of toxicity shared by different players all over the world, toxicity that can make you regret even wasting around 30-50 minutes after joining a match.

Most simple (and at the same time the more advanced) MOBA for sure. Players of our beloved "elo hell" can get through a difficult time in rankeds but with the progress that Riot have been making I have noticed a much better community instead of many have arguing from the past years..

great game, went from 0 to 10 in no time and knew how to evolve and what to offer to the (sadly to say) one of the worst community you would ever find in a competitive online game.

Fucking cancer.

Can't find a game with such a horrible community like League of Legends, complete cancer.

extremely fun and rich game as long as you're in the earliest learning phase, collapses under its concept as soon as you start trying to actually improve. a game where you are expected to work as a synergetic unit with four other players who you've never talked to, and where the most effective playstyle is the least fun.
