League of Legends is a player vs player, 3 vs 3, 5 vs 5, and sometimes 6 vs 6. The main game is 5 vs 5, unless it’s an exclusive bonus game for a short period of time, is about teamwork and skills to defeat the enemy team and destroy the enemy nexus. When the game begins, one goes top lane, one middle(mid) lane, two bottom(bot) lane and one goes in the jungle. The jungler(the player in the jungle) levels up by killing jungle animals and then helps his teammates in their lane by trying to surround the enemy and working with them to kill the enemy, this is called “ganking”, they will say, “can you come gank me.” In each of the three lanes there are minion waves that spawn, with these minions you can use them against the enemy on the opposite side of the lane, or while the turret is attacking the minions, you attack it. Otherwise the turret will quickly kill you. But later in the game the two teams will begin to ignore lanes and group for teamfights or objectives. The objectives of the game is to destroy the nexus. Each lane there is three turrets leading to the inhibitors. If you destroy the turrets and inhibitors then “super-minions” begin to spawn for a short duration until the inhibitors respawn. Super-minions are much stronger than regular minions. After the inhibitors, their are two turrets guarding the nexus. If you destroy the nexus you win the game. You could either win by making the enemy team surrender.
Why it’s a good game in my opinion:
- The main reason why I think it’s a good game, is. There are millions of options, what character to play, what to buy that character in-game(critical, damage, magic, health, armor, etc), how you play the character with what you bought him or her, and just plain outplays. With this freedom of choice, it makes the game interesting, so you aren’t always playing the same character with the same everything.
- The 2nd reason is killing sprees. When you get double, triple, quadra, and penta kill, it is beyond satisfying, fighting the enemy team by yourself, “1v5’ing”. It’s hard, but if you get good, oh the fun you can have.
- And the 3rd, or maybe even the main reason, is, being a jerk, a nuisance, a pure annoyance. The prime example of this is Teemo, he is one of my favorite champions to play. For example, bombs that you can’t see, that almost kill you instantly if you have a low health bar, and poison. Also being fed, having so many kills that you are so ahead that killing everyone is easy(it’s annoying).
- And 4th, the graphics are great, though sometimes you need to turn them down if your computer can’t handle the game, it’s kind of a big game.
- 5th reason: making friends, chatting, group games with friends, meeting and playing with new people every game. Mainly why I say this is because, if you are having a really bad day and you are just playing the game to some how vent your anger. Then you might meet somebody in-game that’s also have a bad day, or a good day, and you kinda start talking and somehow have a better days afterwards because they were nice and you guys were having fun. Doing group games with a lot of good players and just kicking but is also fun and awesome. And you can do a private match with one person to duel or a large private match between just friends who want to joke around or see who is better.
