For as long as multiplayer games have existed, free online games have been very popular. Although all games are different, the genre of League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). Other games similar to League of Legends include Dota, Heroes of Newerth, and Smite. So why is League of Legends so popular? League of Legends is very popular because of the number of different stages it has. Although the first step in the game is the beginning of the game, there is much more to do before playing. First, you need to choose from three modes. League of Legends' three modes include Classic, Dominion, and All Random All Mid (ARAM). While Classic has two maps, Dominion and All Random All Mid only have one map. Out of three modes and maps, the most played map is Summoner's Rift, a Classic map. After selecting Summoners' Rift, the player will be in the queue and shortly after, they will move on to champion selection. After queuing, you will need to select a champion. In addition to selecting a champion, the player will also need to select spells, runes, and summoner masteries as well as a champion. Although champions must be purchased with money earned through play or with real money, you will get new champions every week through champion rotation. In-game, it is ideal to obtain items. For the first two games, try using the recommended version given. A construction essentially corresponds to the elements purchased. After purchasing items, you need to go to one of the lanes or roles. There are several lanes in this game: top, middle, bottom and jungle. The jungle is where neutral mobs spawn and the jungler will kill them and they will gank the lanes. Ganking means helping kills or giving a player an advantage over others...... middle of paper ...... lane items will help greatly against other enemy champions. When you're in lane, focusing on killing minions for money will allow you to purchase more powerful items than other enemy champions can afford. Getting objectives by killing Baron Nashor or Dragon is a great idea because they will make the team more powerful and give a gold advantage to the entire team. Objectives also include destroying turrets, inhibitors and finally destroying the enemy Nexus. So why is League of Legends so popular? The reason is that it makes people think of ways to win. They also enjoy using strategies with their teammates. The Riot Games company does not make the game pay-to-win. Paid games mean that if you pay real money, you will get a great advantage over other players. The main reason people love League of Legends is that the game itself is very complex..
