Riot Game's masterpiece, League of Legends. The game was initially released in 2009 which would probably put it out of range of a review but with the ever changing nerf's and buff's as well as introduction of new game modes(The newest being Legend of the Poro King) I think it's a perfect time to review this game. League of Legends or more commonly know as LoL or League is a Moba in which two team's fight against each other with diverse champions in hope to force the enemy team to surrender or destroy their nexus. This is all done on either Summoners Rift, The Crystal Scar or The Howling Abyss(But only one of them is a good map)
The game has been around for quite along time with constant updates which has made it very uncommon for bugs/glitches to be found(The only exception being the Beta testing of new champions/ Summoners Rift) This however was very different back preseason 1. The actual graphics of the new map are up to and above standard but there still are quite a lot of old champions that need to be updated, because from close up they're quite the distortion. If you can look past that you will be able to see the amount of time and effort put into making the game work correctly as well at the same time trying to keep the Meta relevant without making certain champions too overpowered.
This is all great but at the same time this is quite bad for the people who want to play the game for fun instead of competitively. I'm talking about the person that just wanted to try ad malzahar(Ad meaning Attack Damage instead of ap, meaning Ability Power) and instead of having fun trying something new he gets flamed for not playing the Meta. Second downside of the game is the gap between a level one beginner and his dream of being diamond one. This gap that you have to pass before playing ranked is necessary but also a hassle. By that I mean if someone is playing the game for the first time they shouldn't have to deal with people who created alternate accounts who flame them for being new to the game/bad at the game. Thirdly not being able to go below bronze five in ranked, For some people ranked just probably isn't their thing yet. So if someone plays ranked and ends up in bronze five I believe they should be given time where they cannot play ranked and instead must practice instead of turning into a hated toxic played who blames his team for every loss.
To put it in a fair plain manner League of Legends is a very, very popular Moba with a lot of champion variation and some of the most competitive ranked play in the world. The main problem pulling it down is the toxic community because apart from them everything else works fine. The system would be so amazing without them. Hopefully soon Rito(Joke intended and not a type) will fix the tribunal and clear up the toxic waste that is plaguing their masterpiece.
P.S League may not be everyone's game, some may hate it and some may love it so rating is up for debate but because of my special enjoyment of Moba's I will obviously have a bias rating. You all have the right to rate the game as how you think it should be rated. Merc Out.
E for Elo hell
8.5/10
