League of Legends

League of Legends is a solid game even though I am so bad at this game I don't what legend to use but I still think u can have a fun time playing it.

I started playing this game because my boyfriend said I wouldn't like it, I had something to prove learning this game. It took me about a year to feel like I actually knew what I was doing. I've actually cried tears of frustration, started fights and felt terribly insecure because of this game but let me tell you it was all worth it.

When you play this game there is 1 simple fact if you win, it's because you're more skilled than your opponent. It's a steep learning curve and has its many problems but nothing feels greater than dominating in a league game, absolutely popping off, finding new ways to be better. There are countless options in this game from who you play to how you play them to what items you can buy to power up their special abilities.

There is no other game quite like this one. To be a good league of legends player you need skill, concentration and discpline to learn and stick with with the game.

This is my most-played game. I played this game more than 3000 hours. As a old player I know somethings are not the same. I miss old times.

At Season 5 the Summoner's Rift was changed and that progress was real successful. Champions reworked and some champions were strong some champions were weak. They've fixed that champions in less than one month.

At Season 6 the marksman champions was changed and after the changes champion balance, items was real good. Season 7 was similiar but a little bit worse than Season 6.

At Season 8 they've deleted all of the old runes system and masteries. They make runes similiar to masteries but different. At the beginning of the season there was some champion, item, minion and jungler camp balance problems but slowly (realy slowly) they've fixed. But there was a real strong champions and also there was a real weak champions also.

Yes I was complaining about some balancing things. And actually in some of those I really think they were unbalanced. But here in now Season 13, the game is absolutely better than before. Yes, we do miss somethings like Statikk Shiv or maybe pre-reworked champions. It is normal but all I can say the game is improved so much, in memories the old seasons were better, right? But they were not better. Just watch an e-sports video from 5 years ago. You'll realize that game evoled so much.

Afterall I'm not saying the game always gets better in everything. After releasing another games, Riot lost players in League. Because there were so many work now. But now I can see Riot is actually listens players. At least they listen more. But even now, I just can't see why some urgent nerfs are not coming? As a Brusier main, I can truly say they are so strong now. Why are'nt they nerfing Aatrox or Yuumi, they're so unbalanced, we watched it in Worlds, maybe 6-7 patches came but they didn't do many about those.

I know every preseason, unbalanced things happens. But this Aatrox and Yuumi thing was here even in Worlds. Yeah there are some other minor or major issues in my opinion, that was a current time example. I just sometimes wonder how are they making complicated characters like Viego or Sylas (complicated in programming) but how they can't balance some specific items or champions.

But again, if you think old seasons were better, just watch an e-sports match from old times.

"League of Legends" was recommended to me by a friend and,to be honest,I had very low expectations.I had seen gameplay before and it looked dull to me,you have several maps to choose from,you destroy the enemy turrets to get to their base and destroy it-simplicity itself.Plus it looked to me as if the game was ripping of Warcraft 3 in it's gameplay style.I was wrong.Dead wrong.Believe me when I say,you need to play the game to give it a fair judgment.

There if far,far more strategy involved than one can imagine.There are many variables that need to be assessed,what type of characters does the enemy team consist of,what items builds will they be using,what type of characters your team consists of and so on.Teamwork is essential,especially if you are playing as a support character.The thing I like the most,however,is the fact that your skill has much greater importance than your level,sure masteries and runes help too,but in the end it all comes down to your wit and your strategy.In that sense,there really aren't weak or strong characters in the game,it's more a matter of what gameplay style you like and which character's abilities you like.

Although I'm very new in this game,I already like it a lot and I strongly recommend it.

As said above, the game isn't on the current technical state, but the Tower - Defense concept is still fun after 5 years and to play Garen on bot lane as Support is always funny. But if you start to play LoL in 2014 you will have problems with smurfs and flamers etc. But as you can see on the viewer amount on twitch.TV LoL is know one of the most famous games in the world with around 15 million active player and around 50000 viewers on twitch per event.

Overall score: 8/10
