    TLDR: The amount of frustration you receive playing this game can never be outweighed by the positive aspects of the game itself. Protect your family and friends from ever starting this game.

    Have been playing this game for the better part of ten years now. I have seen all up and downs so far and my objective conclusion is: The game has passed its zenit long time ago. The community gets worse every season, so is the balance. Competitive games are either infested with smurfs or eloboosted players (eloboosting= letting someone better play on your account in exchange for money to get to a ranked rating, where you do not belong. Eventually ruining the fun for everyone in the game). Riot is just overwhelmed in doing anything against, because they are either too busy to sell overpriced cosmetic stuff or making the game worse by rolling the dice when it comes to champion attributes and skills.
    They have system that automatically bans toxic players, but it is so poorly designed that it not necessarily targets the real culprits, who ruin the fun. The game mechanic itself creates tilt all over the place, when it forces you to play alongside players who either systematically sabotage you or flaming the **** out of you, while you are held hostage in a game with players you do not want to play with - think about it.
    It has an addictive character, but it rather feels like heroin, you will stop experiencing joy when playin g it, yet you will still always come back to it. If you have the chance: Stay away from this game, I seriously mean it. There are so much better games, which in the end do not let you think that you wasted your entire evening for nothing.
    And @Riot Games Inc. : GO **** YOURSELF.

However, after a handful of games faulty game mechanics begin to surface making more and more games very one-sided. The matchmaking system is based on a so called 'ELO-rating' which should be an indicator of 'how good you are'. However, this system is only based on games won and games lost. I can safely say that 15 out of 20 games are one-sided slaughterfests, where one team completely dominates the other team (ie. the one team has at least 4 times more kills then the other, leaving that team overfed and the losing team has almost 0% chance to come back from it). Furthermore, if you do get a 'fair' matchup based on the average ELO of your team and the opposing team, you will still be pitted against teams who have way more wins on average than you have. This means that, if the matchmaking system finally puts you against people with around the same ELO, you can still lose pretty badly because the other team simply has more games played and thus way more experience with the game.

    I have been playing this game for 2 years now and it seems like the broken matchmaking system only gets worse. Currently Riot has never acknowledged this problem even with countless treads about this subject on their forums, so it does not look like this problem will be solved anytime soon.

    I could recommend playing this game for the first 10-20 levels of experience, but I will strongly advise everyone to not invest any money in this at all (or at least until this major problem is being dealt with). If you want to keep having fun during the first 10-20 levels you can make new accounts.

    Save yourself the pain of helplessly watching your champion get destroyed by max-level exploiters. There is no strategy, there is no fun, all there is is a **** of rape waiting to piss you off until you rip your hair out.

    This is a very poorly designed game with many balance issues and developers that don't give a **** about anything but making money. That is what this was solely created for; making money. I'd say its money well spent; $10 for a re-texture that changes your hero's color! That's a great price! You're going to have to pay twice as much to get new particle effects!

    To start with. I've played this game for about two or three years now and I must admit that I kind of liked it In the beginning.

    At this time (beginning of 2013) League of Legends is one of the most popular online games. It has millions of players all over the world, and it just seems to be more and more popular. However, in entirety, this game is not that awesome as everyone thinks, and I guess many of the players know this, but dont admit it.

    It's actually quite funny because this game consists of 50% "one kind of person", because in each match I play, there's always someone who thinks he's best or is rude because someone else aint as good as he think he is and so on. Childstalk: each time he dies, its not his fault. Either it was a teammate who did wrong or it was because of lag. Silly.

    The game itself is great, but you might get tierd because of the players playing it, being so rude. It's not like any other DOTA-based game. (atleast not what I've experienced)

    However, enough of this, now to the actual game.
    League of Legends is considered as a DoTA-clone, but it not as much of a clone, as most other DoTA cones. You get what I mean? Both HoN, DoTA 2 and RoI are more DoTA-clones while LoL being a bit less.
    Why? Well the feeling is far from what DoTA was. Not in a bad way though. You have the same map, you do the same thing, but it's still not an exact DoTA-clone.

    What are the differences? Well here they are!

    Pros:
    - It's easier because it's not as fast phased as it's concurents.
    - Easier to learn and play.
    - Bigger difference between spellcasters and non-spellcasters.
    -

    Cons:
    - Too many people are being rude (not the game's fault I guess)
    - Easier (Being easy can be a consequence for some.
    - Bad balanced champions. Some champions can be way more overpowered than others.

    Notes:
    What LoL have that differs from what any other DoTA Clone have, but is positive or negative deppending on your own opinion.
    LoL...
    - ...have smaller map
    - ...summonerspells, runes and masteries (like talents and gems in WoW)
    - ...much more fancy graphics

    I actually dont have the time to count everything up but if you are intressted in the game anyway, look it up and make sure you like it. Else you should not waste your time on it.

    At the launch of the game, I found it very enjoyable (I would have given it a 7/10), but now it's far from the same thing. If you're intrested and want to get into a DoTA based game. I recommend you to check this game out, (it's free!), but I would recommend you to try out the others first.

    4/10, because it's far from what I expected in the beginning.

This mostly applies to the Summoner's Rift map, but when you are at champion select 90% of the time users rage at your champion choice and you have to fulfill a specific role similar to a group in an mmo. If you are not fast at your pick you are most likely stuck with the role that you do not want or there will be multiples of the same role, usually mid, bot ad ranged, or top. I think they need to add more support and jungle heroes or change the style of the roles to make them not just be the gank slave (jungle) or the ward slave (support). Some of the weakest graphics of this game type and its age and f2p category. Movement and attacks feel sluggish at times, interface is rather huge, clunky and only minimal customization available (scaling frames only). Expand

Core gameplay elements were cut out, either for lack of effort or to dumb down the game such as attributes, creep denying or multiple unit control, while only a couple were added in that I don't even like, such as bushes or spell vampirism. Many early champions are cut+paste chimeras of old DotA heroes, such as Ashe or Amumu while newer heroes follow a rather straightforward formula of gap closers, auto attack buffs and defensive skill.

    The worst feature of the game is the carrot and stick MMO incentive system, where you must play to earn persistent stat bonuses, new champions and other such bonuses. The reward treadmill these offer help to mask the shortcomings of the game for more casual players who can feel a sense of progression not by becoming a better player, but by having stronger bonuses or champions.

    Ultimately, core weaknesses in the gameplay and grind system can make the game feel dull after a while, when playing I only play with friends and they've turned to only playing ARAM in order to spice up the stale gameplay. I'd say the game might be worth playing just to try out various champions, but with the hero rotation and unavailability of heroes to the average player it might be too difficult to. League isn't as weak an entry into the genre as say Rise of Immortals, but is overshadowed by more complete or compelling MOBAs such as Smite or DotA.

    I have nothing against this game in particular, but rather the DotA genre as a whole. The game is built around long matches of grinding as fast as possibly to get to a higher level than your enemies, at which point you'll win because of your stats.

    Almost every game matched against way stronger opponents. Most of the time they have played tons of more games than myself (100 wins against people with 1000's of wins). Also a solo player does not stand a chance because you will be matched against full premade teams (4-5 players) most of the time. Without friends to play with this is a game that should be skipped.

    This game is too easy and by far the worst DOTA remake of all time. I mean yeah early game and mid game is fun, but late game is just a massive waste of time. It just depends on whether you can kill the whole team in one fell swoop, not items, not carries, not skill, just luck. It is a massive waste of time.

    I used to play DoTA all the time and tried LoL several time over the years. The game has stayed the same easy and boring game that it has been. Leveled 3 different accounts to 30 without losing a single game. Riot has made it obvious that they don't care about hero balance. HoN on the otherhand is pretty fun with friends while LoL is just full of trolls and BRs

It crashes regularly in many and various ways. Sometimes you can queue for a game then have it crash right before the map loads. There is a "reconnect" button when you reload but it rarely works. The performance of the game is a joke. It consumes so much memory I had to turn the settings down to low to stop it from crashing my computer (which can normally run graphics intensive games at 1900X1200 on high settings - for example team fortress 2) Secondly, the game lacks even the most basic of features that are required. They only recently introduced a draft system which is a basic requirement for this genre of game. There is no built in voice chat so you have to use ventrillo, There are only two maps.

    Thirdly, the pricing structure of this game is absurd. Sure you can technically play for free but you only have access to a random small selection of champions. If you decide to spend some money you can unlock a few more but even having spent 60-70 dollars you still do not own all the available champions. Add to this the fact that new champions are released every two weeks and you end up with a buggy, unfinished, imbalanced borderline scam of a game. Riot's business model seems doomed to failure as I can only imagine it revolves around housebound man children with too much disposable income who are notoriously fickle and will soon be moving on to the next shiny thing to waste their money on and children who beg their parents for mom's credit card to keep feeding their addiction to new champions and new skins.

    In short the game looks fun and feels fun after a couple of games but it has no depth and even in it's shallow waters there is nothing but technical issues, balance issues, and a development team so incompetent they managed to make a game that is less reliable than any other pc release of the last 10 years.

    Overall, this game is a waste of time and has left me regretting the small amount of money I spent on it for such little reward.

However, Riot spends too much time creating new characters, which are no longer as unique and are not balanced properly. There are much bigger things in the game that can be worked on besides new characters, such as balancing issues and the matchmaking system for ranked games.

    Overall, this game is fun and sometimes it can be a blast, but many times the game can be flat out disappointing. Riot spends way too much time creating unnecessary characters, which are released roughly every two weeks, instead of balancing current characters. Many characters lost their uniqueness because of Riot's overwhelming creation of new champions.

    The Balancing is awful

    The engine feels extremely laggy, they should code the whole game new.

Since how bad they are people can just tell others to leave the game or to never play the game due to the community and people who run the company. Expand

    In a nutshell: Creatively bankrupt and a shameless cash-in.

    LoL was the introduction to the LOMA/MOBA/ARTS genre for a huge amount of gamers, and for that it deserves at least a modicum of respect. It's a serviceable adaptation of DOTA with some quality of life improvements that were sorely needed back when DOTA was still a WC3 mod and Heroes of Newerth was still in development.
    In a nutshell: Creatively bankrupt and a shameless cash-in.

    LoL was the introduction to the LOMA/MOBA/ARTS genre for a huge amount of gamers, and for that it deserves at least a modicum of respect. It's a serviceable adaptation of DOTA with some quality of life improvements that were sorely needed back when DOTA was still a WC3 mod and Heroes of Newerth was still in development.

    However, in the current age of Dota 2 and HOTS, there is literally no reason to play this game. Dota offers a significantly deeper and more balanced experience, with a totally unlocked hero roster, in exchange for a barely steeper learning curve, while HOTS gives players that want a more casual alternative a faster, more exciting distillation.

    There are also seriously shady things about Riot's development of League -- for example, the fact that one of Riot's early employees had control of a major community forum for DOTA, including a subforum for hero ideas, that was shut down shortly after the development of League started. Surprise surprise, many of the hero ideas that were in that thread found themselves incarnated as League heroes a couple years later. It's very clear that Riot has no original ideas of their own, and instead is devoted to just wringing as much money out of the concepts of DOTA as possible.

    For me, the single fact that the hero roster is not available equally to all players kills the game (as it does HOTS). For proper balance in a Dota clone, you need the ability to pick from all the characters. But even if that weren't the case, there is literally no reason to play League instead of Dota. The only reason more people haven't made the switch is the sunk costs fallacy: once you've invested money into League, or any game, it becomes a lot harder to justify abandoning it.

    The worst part is not waiting for hours to find a match but when you do finally find it, you go in a totally different function from the two you asked for
    like for example, I want to go top or mid, I fall as a shooter or support ...
    2-Recently riot has released some very broken champions and has done nothing to balance them, and many other characters who are weak and
    forgotten aren't even used anymore.
    (power creep)
    3-extremely toxic community
    4-If you're a newbie, you'll probably face a pro-fake account player due to the crappy match up system of the game.
    5-Launcher possibly developed by Ubisoft because it is extremely bugged.
    Anything can happen! Black screen, computer reset, system breakdown, black squares, being unable to click, unable to chat and so on.
    Sometimes it even prevents you from playing or selecting champions
    (and believe me, you take a ban for it).
    6-It causes a lot of depression (Seriously! If you have problems with depression, do not play this garbage because it will ruin your day). And if somebody in your team does some **** the whole team is punished, especially you.
    7-highly complex, you need to make a college and decorate the skills of 120 champions in order to play well ...
    Pros:
    1-It's not pay to win and it has a great variety of champions with different skills, but you can't play most of them because the majority is extremely underpowered.

    Overhyped MOBA, does not promote skill but rather picking the easy path with lock on skills that does not miss.

    Now the game has a large competitive worldwide stage with large sums of money going into the game through sponsors and normal people trying to get to the top tier of the game they have no interest in making the game playable for anybody below the top two tiers.

    If any sponsors decided to actually look at the game below the stage and streaming games they will see how rotten the game has become and the sheet the developer has put over it in an attempt to hide it.

    The game play and graphics are good for a free game but if you are there to make friends then look elsewhere.

    The game pre 2013 was a really great game. It was so good in fact, that any changes to it could only ruin it.

    The game has seriously lost any form of creative building or balancing in champions. The games are shorter and far less fulfilling.. the community is a Care Bear community where even in Ranked it doesn't matter if people are grouping or doing their jobs... just have fun and don't be negative... the games are basically unplayable. Most people IN this game anymore, do not use almost any teamwork or grouping and Riot hasn't encouraged it since the early days.

    in the early days they'd make videos about it, constantly talk about being a good teammate... they had report systems for: NO COMMUNICATION, UNSKILLED, AVOIDING GROUP... now it's essentially a big Kiosk for really bad, overpriced skins and gamble-boxes. The overlay is hideous and the skill trees are replaced by really bad rune trees where only very few skills in any are really usable.

    Every new champ is a Delete Button that's somehow unforgettable. Turrets are simply worthless let alone this game being a tower defense game. Minions once had worth and another strategy of the game was being a PUSHER and augmenting them. Now it's just sped up games where people rush for linear builds. The versatility of champs has been removed. If it's a tank, it's a brick. Nunu is a perfect example, or Sejuani... take away what makes them fun and unique and make them bricks with one decent scaling stat. Anything but HP on either is useless.

    The old skins and animations were better done and they even looked like they had definition or the ones meant to be comical WERE comical... all the redos are choppy, underdone animations and movements and skin redos that are just awful. Kayle's new look is beyond terrible.

    What's really funny too is that Riot, Virtue Signals and all their reports are based around hate speech (or talking too much in general...) and they pretend their game is safe for all people (namely kids) but it's completely over-saturated in sex. Evelynn looks like she's riding a #$%& it's so inappropriate and every splash art now for a s skin with for a female character has to have giant t#$s showing on it to sell it. It reminds me of the hypocrisy of World of Warcraft and making every Horde race a non-Caucasian racial stereotype with racist jokes and jokes about how they stink and they're ugly built into their emotes/phrases. It's just stupid and hypocritical. Riot doesn't like language like "oh that guy got raped.." in game but every female in the game looks like a shameless French whore with the focal point of the art being T&A. They also have a lot of Devil s#$% and horns and Free Masonic symbolism in the art. It's just dumb. No one cares about your bigoted clubs. You can tell the artist is one. (I have them in my family I know all of it when I see it). The art concepts are terrible anyway. Just because you're a good technical artist doesn't mean you're a good artist. The concepts suck.

    It's just bad these days. Beyond belief.

    My girl friend and I, if we both liked a character over the years, it got changed and ruined. In looks, voice acting and abilities. Completely changed and stupid. League was something else in the past... and in the past it was fun and it WAS a strategic, team based tower defense game.

    Now it's mortal combat for kids with a Care Bear security system built in that's totally Virtue Signaling but yet hypocritical based on the companies other content. Making the changes in the first place starting around 2013 was bad. I've even seen things start to be rolled back now, after a ton of changes over the years. They should seriously release the earlier version of this game separately, I guarantee more people would play it and enjoy it.

    The most glaring issue in the game is the complete unbalance and the community that just doesn't give 2 s#$%& and a #$%@ about teamwork or performing their rolls.

    Games end in 20 minutes or under anyway. It's just feeling like a constant waste of time. The matching is hideous. It's worse then it's ever been. You get teams that work together and do what they need to do and then another side where it's impossible to get an ADC to TOUCH enemies or poke or group or get a team in general to give a s#$% about what's going on in the game.

    Another fact: Illoui can defeat a team of 5 alone with 2 or 3 items and win games solo. She's been ridiculous since the day she was conceived. Not even range can defeat her when tentacle swarms creating a mobile death field everywhere around her and she's a tank without even being tanked up that much. And the changes aren't even complete... summoner spell art thumbnails are still inconsistent in artwork... champs are still not updated leaving a small portion merely usable...
    This game is near unplayable. It's general focus is overpriced, cheap content that's mass produced now and gamble boxes. Game be damned.

    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.

    putting aside the bad community and unbalanced game issue, the ranking system in LOL is a joke. This is due to the MMR nonsense and the forced LP loss on dodging Riot implement which heavily affects how well you climb.

This is due to the MMR nonsense and the forced LP loss on dodging Riot implement which heavily affects how well you climb. For everytime you win or go on a win streak, you win end up getting losses and lose streak because the next 1/3 of the time you get smurfs that stomp roll, the other 1/3 you get clueless otps/offrole players that dont have a clue what they are supposed to do, and the other 1/3 you get trolls that purposely feeds the enemy and then they may go AFK after screwing your game because they were just having fun, at your expense of course.

    And then after you dodge a game because you get into a such a team using addons like porofessor, you are forced to play another game with this same type of players because you will incur penalty for dodging games. So "Have fun" spending time with the OTP ezreal in midlane up against zedman 0/5 by the 10th min and refuse to surrender, wasting another 30 mins of your time, because "dodging is Bad and will cause MMR inflation", and guess what? you will still lose lp not due to any fault of your own. Even card games takes less RNG then this joke of a game. The only way i can see you climbing a realistically losing matchup is by 2v5 the entire enemy team that was fed with their team having 1 or 2 smurfs, possible? yea, Nearly impossible? definitely. And you lose 18 lp but gain 9 lp, i guess riot 200 years experience makes you think you have a machine as a brain that can function in perfect mode all the time, HAHAHAHAHA

    Oh and this game is a heavily disguised pay to win. After playing for more then a year i only unlock half of the champs pool in this game. To get more champs you either invest insane amount of time or spend $$ on passes, and the forums are filled with fanbois that downvote anything negative to our chinese emperors, but i will give it 2 stars because it does not hide the fact that it is a chinese company, unlike a certain big gaming company in the west LOL LOL.

    Rated it 2 and not 0 just because the game itself is decent; however, it's far from flawless. Very, very far from it, and considering the amount of players worlwide, it should be the MAIN goal given to the devs. Really far from being achieved.

    I rated it 2, cause the game itself is actually decent; but the way it's built made the community toxic. That's the truth: it's the only massively online game based on teamwork which has the most toxic community I've ever seen, and I'm playing for 2 decades now. Which means people are not that toxic; but accumulated frustration made it so. And I have the feeling devs are OK with that, which I can't allow.

The modes are the same and repetitive, maps have been excluded and none compared to the level of fun has been placed, making the game even sadder, the review will not be rated 0 out of consideration for what League of Legends has already given me.

As well as this they have never sorted out how to deal with these toxic players but they still don't have a reliable ban/report system and its been 11 years! Im not saying that League is a bad game I just would'nt recommend it to anybody, ever! Unfortunetly in todays world League is just another classic example of devs caring more about lining their own pockets than improving the quality of the game (and in Riots case they've been ripping people off for years).

    1. For new players i strongly recommend to play this game. It was very fun to see yourself learning the game and improving each day. And after some time, you will hit lvl30 and unlock "ranked game mode".
    2. DO NOT PLAY RANKED ! Ranked games are rigged ! The game will on purpose give you bad teammates if your win rate is high and bad enemy if it's low. So losing will make you feel angry and want to play more. On the other hand, winning won't make you feel satisfied since you didn't actually beat good players.
    3. Updates in this game happens quite often ( usually buffs of nerfs to some champions ). But they still always leave some champions stronger than others, making them get picked more often. And it's actually really stupid how unbalanced those champions are.

    But in the end of the day, this game is very fun if you have no idea what is happening xD

    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.
