League of Legends
League of Legends, also known as L.o.L is a well known MMO 3D Fantasy game. The game was published by a small game publishing company known to the world as Riot Games. If you are a fan of games like Warcraft 3 with the DotA addition you will like this game. If you are unfamiliar with the game type and/or gameplay their is a tutorial to help you get on your feet. League of Legends is a hugely team based game, and there is almost no way to take the entire enemy team with one swipe of your champions hand.
With well over 60 champions, this game offers people to pick the one that suits their needs. When you finish the tutorial in LoL, (if you chose to do so) you have the option of playing a pvp or player vs player game. This game type offers two different options, an option called “Twisted Treeline”, and an option called “Summoners Rift”. The two thing that differentiates these two game types is the maps and the number of players. Twisted Treeline has a total of six players, 3v3, and a smaller map size. Summoners Rift has a total of 10 players, 5v5, and a large map size. For lower level players or players trying out new characters there is a game type called Coop vs. AI. This game type offers players to fight against AI characters that can be either a beginner or an intermediate level. With the intermediate level not very difficult, beginning players or players trying out new champions.
Another game type was recently added to the game. Called Dominion and set in the “crystal scar” this game type has a different goal that players but achieve to win. In this game type, players must capture point on a completely new map to win. The more one team captures the faster one teams nexus health diminishes. The team that kills its opposing teams nexus wins the game.
Every Tuesday of a new week, 10 champions are “free”. This means that ten randomly selected champions are free for anyone to play them. To permanently have champions, LoL has its own “store” section integrated into the application. This store allows players to buy champions, as well as skins, runes, and bundles with either IP or RP. IP which stands for Influence Points, are points you earn for playing Coop vs AI or PvP games. More IP is awarded to the team that wins the game they play. This feature is called “first win of the day” and, as the name says, can only be awarded once a day. RP stands for Riot Points, and can be purchased over the application using real-life currency. RP is naturally worth more than IP and is the only type of game currency that allows players the ability to buy skins. You can think of skins as “costumes” for your champions. Ranging from 260 RP to 1850 RP (ten dollars worth).
I have this game and strongly recommend it to anyone looking for something new, or just a fan of the genre. When I first started I was very skeptical and new to the type of gameplay the game offers. But, after the tutorial and a couple of coop vs AI games I was already lvl 2/30 and loving it. If you would like to play with me in a game, you can invite me with this summoner name, TheGentleman13. This game is completely worthwhile and even better, ITS FREE. Before I forget, this game is solely for windows and not for mac, linux, or console. With over 15 million people playing the game you shouldn't be left out of the fun. I haven't covered all of the games many features an aspects because that could fill an entire book. Thank you for reading and, goodbye my friends!
