League of Legends is a free to play multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). Following the tradition of free to play games, you start off with a rotation of ten heroes that you are allowed to play. However you have the option to purchase new heroes using influence points(IP) which you get for playing in matchmaking games, or you can purchase them using riot points(RP) which is the conversion of real money into game currency. You can also purchase skins for the heroes which has the properties of alter the appearance of the hero you are playing on the loading screen as well as in game, skins however are only purchasable with riot points.

The game has a three player and a five player team battle options as well as a five person single lane all random option, there is also a map featuring five capture points which accumulate points based on the amount of capture points your team currently controls.

The three player map has two lanes and a unique system which upon controlling gives a buff that benefits your team.

The five player map has three lanes and is the most played match making option that league of legends has, this is the map that most tournaments are held on with prize pools in the millions.

The five person single lane all random option has one lane; however every player gets a random hero out of their pool of champions they own. This is primarily used as a fun and fast way to kill some time.

The map featuring five capture points is played with five players per team and the teams must fight over the capture points to accumulate points, the more capture points your team controls the more points you get at a time.

This game is an extremely new user friendly game, as it is very forgiving for mistakes compared to other games. if you want to try a new game, I highly suggest trying this game out before moving on to harder to play MOBAs. All you have to do is sign up Try it here: http://bit.ly/16hJk6X
