9. League of Legends

Clash with other champions online

League of Legends is a top-down team-based strategy game where you and your team work together to destroy the enemy’s Nexus before they are able to bring down yours. So you will have to choose your character carefully and choose the right weapons to defeat them.

There are currently 131 champions to choose from, and Riot Games continues to release more and more. Each champion has a role to play, too. You can choose to be an assassin, fighter, mage, support, tank, or marksman. At the beginning of each game you are given the opportunity to choose your champion as well as starting items.

Defeat terrible monsters – that is, if you have the skill

There are tons of different weapons to choose from. You may decide to use a mace or maybe a sword. A scepter or perhaps you prefer to play with a staff. There are nearly 200 items to choose from, including spells, weapons, and armor and you can upgrade and customize them to meet your needs using a tree upgrading system. You can also craft new weapons using recipes.

How do you gain powerful weapons? You can buy them with gold which you get by killing enemy champions, turrets, and monsters. Monsters can be found in the jungle, off the beaten path, but be warned, they are hard to beat, and may not be a good place to start for a brand new champion. So you must gain XP to build your abilities and strength as well.

Use different, unique abilities to get the upper hand with your enemies

You receive gold and XP for killing enemies, but you will also gain XP by being in the same area where an enemy has fallen. Whether it is an enemy turret, a minion, an enemy champion, or a monster. Your abilities are chosen by you as you level up. There are a variety of different abilities to choose, too. For instance, Absolute Zero slows down the enemy forces while others, like Champion Nidalee’s Aspect of the Cougar allows you to shape shift.

There are four main maps in League of Legends, with different objectives and victory parameters. Summoner’s Rift, Twisted Treeline, Crystal Scar, and Howling Abyss. They are all somewhat similar, but Summoner’s Rift seems to be the most popular. The object of the game is to allow your minions, which are small AIs to eliminate enemy structures, and eventually the Nexus. Minions are helpful for players as they can be considered something of a shield for you, as they are targeted by turrets.

Every League of Legends game is different and provides players with endless fun. League of Legend is notorious for their fast-paced and exciting worldwide tournaments, and has won both the Golden Joystick Award for Online Game of the Year and the BAFTA Games Award for Persistent Game.
