The Bottom Line:

"Guilty pleasure"

This game is a MOBA (Massively Online Battle Arena) and probably the best one out there. If you are looking for a style of game like Dota outside of W3 or Heroes Of Newerth, This is definitely where you want to be.

This game has a distinctive style, Its flashy, Its colourful, its fun. Its not a graphical masterpiece by any standard, but its nice on the eyes and you won't hate to look at it.

It also has a huge community, just don't expect the giant community to be nice to you. Most people are NOT noob friendly, and that can get frustrating. If you want to learn the ropes, you better hope you have friends along for the ride. You can negate some negative comments by playing against AI to start off, but even then a lot of your teammates will not tolerate you being a new player and have something witty to say, such as a "your mom" joke or telling you to uninstall.

If you can get passed that though, its smooth sailing, and you WILL have fun. Its competitive, Its addicting, its an adrenaline rush to win a close game, and a heart break to lose one. The massive amounts of champions enables you to play any style you prefer no matter what. This game can easily suck hours out of you if you're not careful, but really.... Is that a bad thing?

My verdict, If you can get passed the hostile early game community, you will be riding the LoL train for a LOOOONG time to come. Cheers all! I just bought a new champion ;)
