Starting a thread.. Dunno where it'll go.
LoL is MOBA game, a strategy basically, that's why it's in this section and not in MMORPG. Copying from escapist what is it about:
LoL is f2p, but really free to play, it's not pay to win nor free to scam game. Only skins (different looks) cost some real cash, everything else you can unlock by playing the game.
I'm on EUNE server, under JoxerTM nick if someone wants to play a fight or two.
LoL is MOBA game, a strategy basically, that's why it's in this section and not in MMORPG. Copying from escapist what is it about:
Those are basics.The game is played from an RTS style view, with the player controlling a single unit hero. Traditionally played in 5v5 teams, the objective is to destroy the opposing team's base.
Your hero gains experience and levels over time, which you use to upgrade your hero's abilities in an RPG type fashion.
Exp and Gold are gained by laning, in which you kill waves of computer controlled units called creeps. But you don't just kill them, you have to get the last hit on them to earn gold. There are also neutral creeps in the jungle areas of the map, but I won't get too specific there.
Exp is used to level up and make your hero stronger in stats, while gold is used to buy items. Items have a very game changing effect, and are incredibly important.
The main obstacles to overcome are enemy heroes and towers. Towers must be destroyed to be able to advance further toward the enemy base. Working as a team to defeat the enemy team, and then subsequently kill their tower, will put your team on the path to victory. It will get increasingly difficult the further you go into enemy territory.
