Pretty much your F2P typical MMO wannabe MOBA.

review by exzacklyright

Pretty much the worst MOBA game ever. No idea why people play it. I took one look at it and seriously... could not believe my eyes. Why why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?!?

ProsCons
Popularity (for who knows why) gameplay, too easy, everything in anime style and ugly!!

Great Free to play game

review by ironman517

I started league about 3 years ago. At first, I hated it. but that was because I was playing alone. This game is based on mutliplayer experience and working as a team, you cannot win the game unless you work with your team. If you like to do your own thing, then this game is not for you and you should probably go play a game like Halo. LOL is a very fun and competitive game, plenty of players stream their games on twitch so you can always learn from them and their mistakes.

One of the best things about league of legends, is that it is not pay to win. anything bought, that gives an in game advantage can easily be unlocked by just playing. So this game does not follow the typical pay to win playstyle.

The worst thing about LOL has to be the player community, being a competitive game, drives the appearance of trolls and players who are just mean. But in all honesty, this happens in just about every PVP driven game, but in LOL it tends to be worse.

I normally only play league when I am in-between games, but recently it has been my "main" game for a few months, being free to play makes it very appealing and having friends play it makes me keep coming back.

ProsCons
F2P, Multiplayer, fun, strategicplayer community is very negative

Fantastic F2P Game.

review by zimodius

I have been playing League of Legends (AKA LoL), for about 3 months now.
At first it looked easy when you do the tutorial, which it is.
However, after a little while you buy new champions which have new abilities, then u discover your runes and masteries, then things get a little complicated.
But, once you look up eveything a bit, it becomes very fun, and then u see that, if u try different masteries or runes or try out whole new builds, every player is different, even f they are playing the same champion at the time.
All those aspects make the game really fun, you can look for a champion that suites you in every way.
Although things can be bought with real currency, like champions, runepages, skins etc ..
You do not have to buy anything at all to win in the game, NOT AT ALL!
You can get the same champions by saving up some Influence Points (IP) which is the in game currency.
Never is a player going to be better because he bought something with real currency, in my oppinion, people who save up IP to buy a champion, learn the game on a better way then players who buy an expensive champion right away, because they never farmed for a champion.
The playerbase; it's huge, i think there are like 40,000,000 accounts if i remember right.
Most of the players are really helping, and learning you everything there is to know, to improve your skill etc ..
A small portion of the playerbase is not polite and friendly, but trolling people, being rude and insulting.
You do not come across this portion very often, but if you do, it's not a pleasant suprise.
The game is pretty competitive, expecially when you're in the higher rankings, hence the small portion of rude people.

CONCLUSION : the game is great, if you like the MOBA style you should try this game for sure.
Do not get frustrated because of the rude players, ignore them and report them, it's the best thing you can do,
If you have the chance, try this game out !

ProsCons
PlayToWin, MOBA with biggest playerbase, easy to pickup, FREESometimes rude & pesimestic players, if someone leaves you're lost, skins can only be bought with real currency.

Absolute trash

review by ilovepcgaming

The game is utter trash. Here is a short list why:

-Horrible fanbase. Often times other players will tell you to "Uninstall" or worst yet "Kill yourself" if you are new and not very skilled
-It feels like an absolute grind. You rush in, hide in the grass, wait for the enemies to find you engage in battle, and repeat until you die. Where is the fun in sitting around towers taunting people into running at you?
-Gameplay is just horrible. I didn't care for how the engine ran the game

ProsCons
NoneFeels like a giant grind, horrible fanbase, depricated gameplay

Worst mainstream title you could play.

review by s.m.

It's entire existence is to make money. Game play caters to the loser, F2P freemium pricing and champion balance makes the game pay2win, with the possibility of play2win only if you play the game 40hrs a week for the next 2 years. Runes serve no purpose other than to act as a currency-sink to make unlocking champions difficult without spending money. To attempt to play the game competitively within the next two months you would have to spend $200. It is impossible to unlock enough content otherwise.

Since games are catered to the loser, winning is frustrating and losing is depressing. There's little room for enjoyment unless you decide to intentionally troll, which is the case for most players.

Don't feel pressured to play it because your friends do.

ProsCons
NoneGame play, community, publishing based on greed.
