Play league of legends now. Seriously. It’s pretty damn good.

League of legends is a really really REALLY good free game to play online.

What. You want proof? Fine. I’ll give you proof I guess…

Alright, so have you ever played DOTA (defense of the ancients) on warcraft 3? Yeah? Cool. For those who haven’t, DotA is a Player vs Player tower defense game. 2 groups are fighting in an attempt to keep the enemy group from destroying their main building (their ancient), while destroying the enemies ancient. First team to destroy the enemy team’s ancient wins.

Seems simple, right? Yeah.. I guess it kinda is, of course, when heroes are thrown into the mix, each with different powers and abilities, it gets rather complex with how each hero’s abilities, strength, and weaknesses interact with each other, and in it’s finest form becomes a matter of which team can work the best together.

Alright, now take that basic concept, and turn it into a free online game. With no ads. And with a rather large selection of heroes, with new ones being added constantly.

That’s basically league of legends. The game itself is extremely robust, and the best part about it is that it’s a free game, with no spending required to twink yourself up. Money CAN be used to purchase in game items, but only to unlock new heroes and skins which make your character look significantly different. If you work hard, you can unlock heroes using the in game currency, called IP (influence points).

Every few weeks a new hero is created, usually added to the game rather quickly, and the game Is almost constantly updated. Another nice feature is, if you’re not sure who to spend your IP on, don’t fret, every week there are about 10 heroes made free to play. You can play them as much as you want while they’re free, but need to pay to have them permanently.

It’s honestly an incredible game, considering it’s free, and it’s obviously a massive labor of love by the creators, considering the constant support that goes into it, and the attempts to help the experience. I would highly suggest checking it out. You likely won’t regret it.
