League of Legends combines elements from both strategy and role playing games to bring you a unique and dynamic player experience. As a Summoner, you will have your own distinct, customizable avatar that grows in power as you move through the game. In each battle you will select and call forth one of dozens of Champions to control and engage in head-to-head combat against teams of highly trained warriors. Choose your allies wisely, for the stakes are high. In the League, every battle means more than life or death as the balance of power shifts with each victory or defeat. [Riot Games] Expand

    The biggest change to the formula, however, is the persistence of your player as a "Summoner," not to be confused with the 30-odd in-game characters, which get a clean slate at the start of every match.
  2. There are always some people online you can fight with! If you liked the mod GOTA for Warcraft III, you will definitely love this game!
  3. LoL is a great, free alternative to DotA that caters both to newbies, and the hardcore.
  4. Warcraft's mod DotA revives in this free to play mix between a strategy and a role playing game. Worth a try.

    The best game of its kind I've played. If nothing else, it definitely takes careful measures to ease in new players (meaning the non-Defense of the Ancients elite).

    Less adventurous heroes might be scared off, but if more is merrier, LoL is perfect for your advanced tower defending fix. [Christmas 2009, p.112]

    Overall, League of Legends holds a lot of promise, but comes up short as a retail product.

    I've been playing this game for a while, and no, it's not just a mod. The graphics are a bit low poly, but when 10 people are fighting eachI've been playing this game for a while, and no, it's not just a mod. The graphics are a bit low poly, but when 10 people are fighting each other onscreen at once with lots of particle effects you don't want to be chug because of the trees, terrain, or mobs being too high res.

    The game runs very smooth and that's what counts with a PvP game or a MOBA.

    There are tons of champions to choose from and half the fun is learning all of them. I highly recommend this one.

    I absolutely love this game, and have put in enormous sums of money to buy skins and champions. I have played well into many thousands ofI absolutely love this game, and have put in enormous sums of money to buy skins and champions. I have played well into many thousands of hours (and matches) and it never ceases to bore. My favorite champion is Teemo, who I have played over 630 games in Ranked Season 3. It took a long time to slog my way out of Silver 1, but now that I am in Platinum I am soooooo happy. The new League System works and it is wonderful. Many of the complaints of "poor community" and "imbalanced game-play" are a constant work in progress, admittedly, but for the most part after Silver community really improves dramatically. Maybe 1/20 games will there be an afker/flamer/leaver/troll etc (in Plat). The game is more balanced when facing other skilled opponents. In Platinum it is very clear that your teammates and opponents are on very similar skill-levels, and every single match is a battle of sheer force of will and logic. New champions are not generally imbalanced lately, and every single champion in the game has a counter or method of defeating them. Above-all, this game DOES reward advanced game-playing techniques and strategies in the higher Leagues. Most games do not stall past 40 minutes unless both teams are simply so good that it is rather difficult to break through the opposing force. But those are the best games, since when you finally achieve victory (or suffer defeat) you are still happy to have been a part of the glory.

    For an absolutely free and fairly balanced game (you cannot get ANY advantage through payments) LoL merits a 10. I've experienced 1000s of hours of unadulterated joy from this game, and LoL is a part of my life as much as reading, eating, exercising etc. is. It is a fun hobby.

    The Game itself is great but the Community deserves a 0. The Players are obviously also part of the Game and its not fun in 90% of your GamesThe Game itself is great but the Community deserves a 0. The Players are obviously also part of the Game and its not fun in 90% of your Games if you get flamed, insulted, bullied and humiliated. Sadly its the nature of those so called "MOBAs" to have toxic communities, but Jesus ive never seen such a unfriendly and aggressive playerbase, But because of the solid Game, i still give a decent score.

    To sum it up:
    + easy to pick up and fun Gameplay
    + many Champions and several Gamemodes
    + The amount of Champions and the possible Rune and Mastery combinations give you a thousand ways to play the Game
    + rarely gets boring

    - Community, just a nightmare
    - outdated client
    - The developers favor the American playerbase while more or less neglecting others including the largest playerbase (Europe!) and thats a highly unprofessional
    - Game runs while providing dated Graphics, its unoptimized and several of my buddies cant play properly while having good PCs
    - Metagame is very boring and repetitive
    - Balance isnt that great, in addition several balance changes are a joke (A lot of Nerfs are overkill)

    Йшов 2021 рік, гру визнали здається найкращою 2020 року, а от української локалізації не підвезли. Я не знайшов жодної можливості зв'язатисьЙшов 2021 рік, гру визнали здається найкращою 2020 року, а от української локалізації не підвезли. Я не знайшов жодної можливості зв'язатись із розробниками по цьому питанні так як технічна підтримка не знає відповіді на це запитання, а на іноземній мові важко зрозуміти що та як. Токсична спільнота, саме найбільше це в РУ спільноті (сама технічна підтримка визнала те, що люди з їх серверів тікають), в Східній Європі менше, рекомендували мені грати на Західній Європі, так як там більш лояльніші гравці. В не рейтингових іграх можна зустріти гравців з високим рівнем профілю, що в результаті відбувається дисбаланс матчу і негативна критика в сторону молодих гравців яким уже не достатньо грати проти ботів, але і проти ПВП відпадає бажання, так як завзяті гравці які розібрались в грі токсично відносяться до молодих гравців.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    It was 2021, the game was considered the best in 2020, but the Ukrainian localization was not brought. I did not find any opportunity to contact the developers on this issue as technical support does not know the answer to this question, and in a foreign language it is difficult to understand what and how. Toxic community, most of all in the RU community (the technical support itself recognized that people run away from their servers), in Eastern Europe less, recommended me to play in Western Europe, as there are more loyal players. In non-ranked games you can meet players with a high level of profile, which results in an imbalance of the match and negative criticism of young players who are no longer enough to play against bots, but also against PVP, as there is no desire for zealous players who understand the game. to young players.
