League of Legends

This week I decided to go and look for a new game to play. It was my surprise when I noticed an ad for the popular game league of legends on the side of my screen. It looked interesting enough, so I decided to click on it. As I am writing this I have already put in at least 10 hours in this fun game. But what makes it so fun? Read more to find out.

                League of legends is a MOBA game, and is the world’s most popular MOBA style game. For those of you who don’t know, a MOBA is a style of game that has you in a 3^rd person view, always above the character you’re controlling. League follows through with this system and perfects it with its 130+ champions to pick from. Each champion that is available to you is unique, with every one of them having their own special skills and abilities. Each champion has 4 abilities, 3 regular ones and one final super powerful ability that defines that specific champion. Examples of this include cannon balls falling from the sky and a giant death rocket. This allows for good variation among different players and play styles.  

                League of legends is based on a F2P system, where a player can earn champions through playing games and spending their points on them, or by buying them with cash. Everything that you can unlock in the game can be bought with the in game money except for skins, which only alter how the champion you’re playing as looks and some of your ability animations. This allows for a dedicated player who enjoys playing a lot to be rewarded and not feel at a major disadvantage to those who decided to spend real money on the game.

                Each week the game gets a balance patch that fixes up bugs and makes any champions that seem too good less strong. This helps to keep the game fresh and fun. Along with this update, the game offers up a selection of 8 randomly chosen champions that anybody can play for free that week. This allows for new players to get a good feel for what they like to play.

                League of legends is a great game with endless amount of enjoyment. With its varied champions and overall uniqueness, League of legends is a game I will be playing for a long time to come.
