League of Legends Overview

League of Legends is not your typical free MMO. Its a real-time strategy game which you have to destroy you opponent's base, or Nexus [as they call them] . However, that is not that simple [well, unless you are playing with noobs]  beacuse base is protected by turrets, minions, and champions.

The classic mode, Summoner's Rift. The map consists of three lanes:Top, Mid, Bot. and between those lane there is the jungle where certain monster gives you experience and buffs. In a real game, they are usually protected by five 'champions,' or the characters of the game. The players can choose from a wide variety of 'champions'. You can be a deadly assassin, a cute little school girl,  or a brute wolf. Also, every single champions have different ability so in a team, players can choose many combinations that can compliment each other's strength.

If you are not a strategy kind of guy/gal there are other game modes you can play. ARAM is an all out war where all five players are in a brawl where you have limited healing potential [unless if you die, you restore your health] and if that's not difficult enough, the game gives you a random character to play with. Another mode is Dominion, its basically somewhat of a replica of Call of Duty's Domination. Your objective is to hold five bases as long as you could up until the "bar" reaches its limit.

The game also have a leveling up system in and out of the game. To clarify, in-game leveling is simple you just kill minions, or champions to gain some experience and once you level up you can learn or improve a new skill, plus its gives you gold to purchase item that boost your champion's abilities. Out-game leveling is pretty decent you have to keep playing games to level up. The higher the level, the higher ability or buffs you can add on to your champions. However, that doesn't mean that if you are ten levels below your opponent your weak. This game focus more on skill level not game level [I know its sounds confusing].

Overall, the game is top-notch. If you are looking for a hardcore competition, a low-spec game, or just a new type of MMO this is your game.
