Hi, I am looking into playing this game, but I cannot find out exactly what it is like. I have seen videos but I do not like how to style of the game looks. Can someone give me some reasons why everybody thinks this game is fun? Like what is there to do, is it like Warcraft? Like strategy or what?
 
I am thinking about it, anybody wanna help me get started in game when I get it downloaded? :P

It depends on where in the world you are (as you will have to choose a server to play on) but I'm sure someone may help you out when you start by playing a few games with you :)
 
What server do you play on? I will hop on with you :P
 
I play on EUW as I'm from the UK, but if you're from NA, you would want to play on the NA server, if you're from Europe create an account for EUW and I will help you sometime soon :)
 
You can learn quite a bit from youtube guides. You can search a champion you think is interesting and learn how to play him well and then move to another building your knowledge of the game. First the first one I highly recommend a cheap one like Annie, Jax, Garen, Sivir or something of that standard. They aren't the hardest to play and are pretty decent.
 
So is the game like a strategy game or what type of gameplay is it? Diablo like, Warcraft like, Rift like?
 
It's not like Warcraft/RuneScape in that league of legends is composed of different 30-40 minute matches. So when someone says they're about to start a league game, it means that one of those 30-40 minute matches is about to start. Within each match you can (usually do) choose a different champion. You work with your team of 5 to a) kill the other team's players & b) take down the other team's turrets & eventually kill their home base aka the "Nexus". There are roles within each team - the "ad carry" specializes in auto-attack damage, the "ap carry" specializes in magic spell damage, the "support" that focuses on utility/healing, the top "bruiser" which is a tankier character typically used to absorb damage in team fights & the jungler which can be like a bruiser.
 
If you played Defense of the Ancients (DoTA) before, then you'll get the drift of it.

The most common matches are 5v5 where you versus real time players or AI bots. Includes many other variations of battle. It's a game where you choose a champion and use its skills and in-game strategies to defeat your opponent. In-game strategies such as map prediction, accuracy, reaction speed, good timing and placement will all account into a victory.

In fact, most players from DoTA migrated over to League of Legends because League of Legends offer a more standard balanced amount of champions, that none of it gets too OP (overpowered) half way into the game like DoTA does and just totally wrecks the game. On the other hand, in DoTA for example, if you have OP heroes like troll warlord and you got fed, you would just insta-win the game. But in league of legends, there's no such thing as "OMG IM FED I WIN" mentality. I've personally went on a 5v5 ashe with 49-7-15 and still lost the game, because you see, it's not about being OP, it's all about teamwork, it's all about cooperation.

Nonetheless, I recommend you give it a shot, recommend it to your friends as well!
