League of Legends

     League of Legends is a game I play regularly. It's a DotA-like game, basically the goal is to destroy the enemy's base in 5vs5 or 3vs3 match. Sounds easy, right ? Well it's way harder than it looks :p If the rules are easy to understand, you'll have to use your brain to lead your team to victory. Each base is protected by 3 inhibitors that spawns minions on a regular basis. Those minions will follow one of the 3 lanes available (there is one lane for each inhibitor) and try to push throught the enemy base. But those lanes are protected by several deadly turrets that you need to get rid of in order to continue up to the enemy base. That's where you and your teammates step in. You have to choose a champion at the beggining of the game, each champion have his own abilities (there are 80 champions atm) and you have to prevent the opponent team to destroy your turrets and wipe out theirs.

     What I like in this game is that teamplay is really important. Your team must be able to rely on you and vice versa. And trust me this can be really fun when you play with 4 friends of yours.

     Another point I really enjoy about this game is the champions themselves. With 80 champions it guaranteed a large variety of gameplays and everyone can find a champion he likes. Dubbings are very good, some of them are just awesome. Indeed, even if the game can be hard, it's not totally serious and some champions' artworks and dubbings are very funny (Gentleman Cho'Gath is a perfect exemple). Speaking of artworks, I freakin' love them :D
In my opinion, the artists of League of Legends are really talented (both occidental and asian version, even if they have different artworks).

     To conclude, I think everybody should give a try to this game. It may be hard in the first place but it's really gratifying and fun to play with other people.

  5. I avoid LoL on principal because a lot of my friends play nothing else, and I don't want to support them. I'm sure it's a fun game though, a lot of them have player over a thousand games (each game takes probably 45 minutes on average).
