League of Legends: the most legendary MOBA. Game review
Assembling Items
An important element of the gameplay on any character is the correct assembly of items. The application, of course, cannot see all your enemies and tell you what exactly is worth buying, but it will tell you some basic things. For example, I play the character Sona, since this is a support and until I figure out how everything works here, I just support the team. So, you open the application, look for a character and click on his icon, you will immediately be shown a list of items that are recommended to be collected for the character. There are also items here that are recommended to be purchased at the beginning of the game, and there is also a skill leveling tree, so that you know which skills are best to pump out right away, and which ones later. And in general, it describes which trowels to take, which runes, and so on, you can study everything and play more correctly than you would just play at random.
View news and broadcasts
The big advantage of the application is news column, where you can find out about some important events or promotions and a tab with streams. For example, the game periodically holds promotions for the purchase of characters at a discount, and you will be able to receive news about this as quickly as possible. Next, you can simply pick up your smartphone and see which tournaments have taken place, which are planned and on what date, you can open a tab with broadcasts of popular users and follow their play. In general, everything is up to your taste and skills.
Bottom line
You're probably wondering why I'm telling you everything. The fact is that the popularity of the game is growing and it’s impossible not to notice it - quite a lot of users are switching to this MOBA game and we also follow these trends. So there will be even more newcomers, which means I would like to do something to help those who do not have more experienced friends who could advise what and when to buy, what characters to take and what skills to upgrade. It’s cool when there are such applications, plus there is absolutely no donation here, only advertising, which does not interfere at all. Use it!

The famous MOVA, distributed using a shareware model. The game is extremely popular, with more than 67 million people logging into it every month. At the same time, the game is an official e-sports discipline in the World Cyber Games. Currently, it features 127 champions, who differ from each other in basic parameters and abilities.
General information
This project is the twin brother of the DotA game, which actually has several distinctive features. Generally game plot remains the same: the same two teams appearing at different ends of the map, called upon to penetrate the enemy’s lair and destroy the hated crystals. Three paths leading from one base to another are filled with aggressive mobs, killing which allows you to gain useful experience and improve your skills.
Champions
The general concept of the game has not changed, but the abundance of fresh details can revive the lost interest. The game has 127 heroes - champions, each of whom is endowed with unique abilities. All characters are divided into several classes: tanks, mages, shooters, assassins, support and warriors.
When choosing a hero, you must also decide which runes he will be able to open in the process of his development. Runes allow you to apply various positive effects: increased defense, increased melee damage, etc. The choice of runes will be directly related to the character's class and its purpose. Destroying opponents will also open up various passive skills, designed to strengthen the character.
Additional features
In addition, the player himself will be able to play the role of a sorcerer helping his champion on the battlefield. When choosing a character, you will have to choose two devastating spells that you can use once the hero reaches the proper level. Imagine what incredible tactical combinations you can come up with and implement during the game. How much room for imagination the developers provide, offering such an abundance of characters, runes, and spells. All this is decorated with high-quality and stylish graphics, and therefore the game corresponds to its predecessor in both form and content.
Modes
Training mode - designed for beginners who have never tried games in the MOVA genre. Over the course of two games, the gamer will be sequentially introduced to basic concepts, tactics and basic skills.
Custom Mode - Here players can create own games. In this mode, uneven team compositions (2x5) are possible, as well as a combination of players and bots (AI-controlled champions).
Classic mode - consists of several maps (Summoner's Rift - 5x5 players fight on 3 lines in the forest, which is inhabited by neutral monsters and powerful upgrades; Cursed Forest - 3x3 players fight on 2 lines, at the start the champions have more gold and fight for neutral targets placed in the forest; Howling Abyss - 5x5, only 1 line, the summoner platform does not heal, and the purchase of an item is possible only after the death of the champion; Crystal Canyon - 5 control points, which are located near the relic, which gives the team enormous power, champions start with 3; level and swing very quickly).
Ranked type - only those players who have reached level 30 are allowed here. From here, gamers enter the League System, which is based on match results.
ARAM - on the Howling Abyss map, the player receives a random champion (2 re-selections or replacement with an ally are available).
" is a popular MOBA, which is one of the main competitors of "DOTA 2". It appeared against the backdrop of the growing popularity of the first part of DotA, absorbing and only partially modifying the central aspects that laid the foundations of the entire genre online games. The game has several modes. The main one is classic combat. It features a diagonally symmetrical map with three lines and transitions between them, which are covered with forests. On each side there is a series of towers in each direction, incubators and the Nexus - the main building, the destruction of which leads to the victory of the side that broke through to it. At certain intervals, minions spawn on each side - these are creatures that walk along the lines in the opposite direction. When they encounter any hostile creature, they begin to attack it. Killing such minions is rewarded with money (killing is considered to be inflicting last blow) killer, the accumulation of which allows you to purchase items for enhancement.
Cartoon style the game is on It's only a plus for her.
Heroes in League of Legends.
In total, there are more than 120 heroes in the game, and new ones are periodically added with updates. They are all unique. Everyone has 3 main abilities, 1 passive and 1 ultimate, or simply ult - the most powerful ability, correct use which can greatly affect the fight. In a standard battle, two teams of 5 heroes fight. Traditionally, one goes to the center line, and two players go to the rest. The goal at the initial stage of the game is to break through and demolish the enemy tower, as well as accumulate money, but not let the enemy do it. The rest of the time the team joins together and mostly moves together, trying to destroy enemies one by one, or when they do not move full staff. The team must then break through to the Nexus and destroy it.
Heroes are not available for free. Each must be purchased with in-game or real currency, or you can use 10 open heroes, the list of which is updated every week.
Dynamic and exciting gameplay is the key to the success of this game.
Characters in League of Legends.
In total, characters are divided mainly into the following 5 types:
- AD Carry– a character who deals huge damage with basic attacks.
- AP Carry– a hero who destroys enemies with powerful abilities.
- Tank– has a huge supply of health and protection, and can withstand a lot of damage.
- Support– provides various support to the team, strengthening and healing them, or harming the characteristics of enemies.
- Jungler– the hero accumulates funds by fighting neutral creeps in the forest from the very beginning of the game. He pumps up in isolation, starting to help his allies around the middle of the game.
The developers themselves introduce a different classification, but this is what the players accept. Characters also differ in the way they use their abilities. In DOTA 2, this classically requires mana. Here, this requires different indicators depending on the hero. Some use classic mana, others use stamina, others use rage, and some even use their own health. All these indicators are accumulated in a special way. For example, rage increases as the hero is in battle.
The game has become one of the most popular eSports disciplines.
Leveling up in League of Legends.
The main aspect is leveling up in addition to the game. Each player accumulates his own level, which makes it possible to select certain skills outside of the game. You can create several similar builds for each character. You can select them before the battle. For example, you can focus the hero on making money more efficiently, or actively attacking enemies.
The maximum level is 30. In addition, leveling is carried out using runes - rune cards are made from them, giving certain advantages to the characteristics of the characters in battle. Therefore, if you meet the same hero in two battles in a row, you cannot know for sure that he has the same basic indicators. He can attack better or faster, or quickly restore mana, and so on. Also, before the battle, players make a choice from several basic artifacts that will be available in the game. They provide certain capabilities, but have a long recharge time.
A bit of cosplay: Koreans are on the warpath.
Differences between LoL and DOTA 2.
Although the game is a successor to the original DotA, it is still different from it. We'll look at some features:
Heroes are not available freely, but are purchased, as stated above. Also, unlike DOTA 2, you cannot change for free here appearance– this is not done in parts, but by installing whole skins, purchased only for real money.
There are bushes on the lines - special places in which the hero becomes invisible. This effect dissipates if an enemy enters the bushes.
There is no courier in the game that delivers items. But all heroes can freely teleport to the base at any time to make purchases. To do this, you need to not take damage or perform any actions for several seconds.
Runes do not appear on the river (the transition between the centers of the lines). However, certain amplifiers can be knocked out of monsters living in the forests.
Instead of one special monster, there are two in the game - one gives powerful boosts to the entire team after death, the second gives money.
In the game, wards (invisible observers) occupy a special designated place in the inventory.
Items pump up not only attack, but also the power of magical abilities (for creatures that use mana). This allows you to create a unique class - AP Carry, which may not have survivability, but does cause colossal damage with its spells.
In DotA, you need to destroy all barracks to summon megacreeps - an enhanced version of creeps that can kill even heroes very quickly. Here, the destruction of the analogue - incubators - leads to their calling precisely on the line where the breakthrough occurred. However, incubators quickly regenerate, depriving the enemy of their advantage. This approach makes it unnecessary to break through all the lines. And so on.
I met literally three days ago, but already during this time I was able to fully appreciate all the advantages of this creation by one of the creators of Defense of the Ancients or Dota. LoL - conditional free game, the client can be said from the official website, and she lives thanks to microtransactions. But this has almost no effect on the balance. In addition, almost 80% of all content can be purchased using Influence Points, which we receive for participating in battles. Before we look at LoL in more detail, here is a link to the client, whoever wants to run together, write to PM. The game itself weighs only about 600 MB + 400 MB of patches and runs even on old laptops.
After downloading the game and registering, you get to the main menu, where you can start a battle, walk around the store or go to our profile window and see a lot of interesting things. For example, you will be allowed to customize your character to suit your play style. First of all, you should pay attention to the tree of runes and talents. As we gain new levels, new slots will open up where we can insert runes of various types and levels, as well as distribute talent points to the necessary branches.
I wouldn't say that this is a stupid Dota clone compared to Heroes of Newerth. Unlike its father, LoL has cartoon graphics, which, however, come in handy here and several new innovations. The character designs are very cool and detailed. Most of all, this style reminds me of the new King’s Bounty and emphasizes the fantasy direction of the game.
Let's talk about the profile window. The first place we will go is the book of runes. There are three types of runes: Tier 1, 2 and 3. The higher the tier, the better the characteristics of each rune, but this will require more high level. In addition, there are 4 more subtypes of runes that are responsible for certain directions in development. Each subtype of runes has its own slots that open as levels increase.
Next, let's go to the talent menu. For each level we receive one talent point, which we can distribute into any of the three branches - Offense\Defense\Utility. You will have to adjust your build for each hero, but of course this will not have a particularly strong effect on your hero. He will simply have a 7-8% higher crit chance and a lower ability cooldown.
Upon reaching a certain level, new skills will also be revealed to us that can save or kill the victim at the most critical moment. At first there are only six of them out of twelve, but only two are allowed into battle. For example, one skill allows you to teleport to nearby mobs, another slows down the enemy or heals you and your allies.
The gameplay is quite similar to Dota, we have two bases that need to be destroyed and three paths along which our and enemy mobs run. Along these paths there are 3 towers that shoot at you upon close contact. The essence of the confrontation is to prevent the destruction of our towers and base. In addition, behind the third tower there is a special structure, the destruction of which will summon special champion mobs that cause serious damage and have a lot of hp.
The playing style can be any. You can make your character a half-mage into a vampire damage dealer, master the art of stealth, or take all the enemy damage on yourself, distracting enemy heroes. The maximum allowed size of battles is 5 vs 5.
There are also neutral monsters that live in forests, for killing which we receive experience, gold and a buff for a certain time.
It’s also worth talking about the in-game store. Unlike Dota, there are no particularly complex recipes, so you won’t really need to memorize them. One or two items are enough to create something much more powerful for a higher price. And by the way, there is only one store here - now you don’t need to run from one store to another, buying rare things. This greatly simplifies the game, making it more understandable for beginners.
In conclusion, I want to say that the developers have produced a fairly good Dota clone, with a couple of new features and new heroes. Download the client and I think you won’t regret it. Thank you for your attention.
P.S. Video for those who still doubt.
Do you love League of Legends as much as almost a hundred million players around the world love it?
Even if not, don’t rush to close the review; perhaps you will find a couple of reasons in it to try and change your mind.
Video: trailer for the game League of Legends
It all started in 2009, when the world saw the newly-minted “copy of Dota”, distinguished by its bright graphics and anime style of character design.
Despite the dissatisfied grumbling of critics, the game became a fashionable eSports discipline in record time and almost overtook its predecessor in popularity.
Little is known, but these two MOBAs were never competitors - they were developed by the same team for different needs of players.
Take on the role of a powerful Summoner
In League, the player does not play the role of a hero on the field, but is a powerful sorcerer-summoner, capable of not only giving orders to characters, but also strengthening them with runes, pumping up talent trees and using his own active skills to influence the course of battle.
- Deal damage to an enemy hero or an entire area of creeps.
- Show part of the map to the allied team.
- Heal a character and give him a small buff.
A huge number of runes, interesting skills for each hero, passive skills that can become active for a while - tactics and directness of hands decide here, and a lot depends on the right combination of hero and skill.
Try out all of the hundreds of available Champions
Heroes are not initially available in full quantities, but every player has a chance to gradually try them all out.
The fact is that a dozen of them become free every week, giving you the opportunity to try out different roles, playstyles and difficulty levels.
Level up your skills in each mode
In addition to the traditional carnage with minions, lanes and towers, the Dominion mode is available, forcing players to capture control points, gradually destroying the enemy nexus.
This is undoubtedly one of the most prominent representatives of the genre. We strongly recommend that you check it out.
