Mission Statement

In the home page I will show you the bare-bones of what makes league of legends. It is a very complex game that can't just be explained in one page. This means I will have to break up some of the aspects of the games into different categories to make it easier to understand.

What is League of Legends?

League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena, also known as a MOBA. It's one of the most popular games of all time, and currently it has the most active players. It also has the biggest esports infrastructure with many different teams accross different regions.

In a normal game of League, there are 10 players that are placed into the same map, split into two teams of five. This map is called Summoner's Rift.

Every player controls their own unique charater and have different goals in their role.

Here's a video made by the official League of Legends youtube channel that explains a little bit more what is the game about:

What is a champion?

The characters in League of Legends are called "Champions" each player is able to control their own champion, there are a big variety of champions that fits any playstyle.

Currently there are 148 different champions, with new ones being added consistently.

Every champion has different abilities and there are some champions that work well when put together on the same team. Everygame is different depending on what champions are in your game, and how good the players are at these champions.

Here's a small list of my favorite champions:

How do you win?

The goal of the game is to destroy the enemy nexus, you have to take at least 5 towers and an inbihitor before reaching the nexus. On paper it sounds really easy, but it's really difficult. Your enemies will always protect their base and towers. They also can kill you and destroy your base.

You can't just go into a new game and try to run at them because you will die, the game is very progessive. Every game you start at level 1, and progressively gain experience by killing minions and champions to reach level 18 where you are at your strongest point.

You can also gain gold to buy items that allow you to deal more damage, making your job easier for these tasks.

What is Summoner’s Rift?

This is the Summoner's Rift map, the map is like a mirror split down the middle, everthing that there's on one side, there is on the other side also.

In this picture I represent the movements and where everyone meets in the game from the opposing team. There's a blue and a red team.

From here I would recommend to the the Basics tab, it explains a little bit more about the game, you could also check out the Champions tab and it showcases a few champions and some of their abilities!
