LEAGUE OF LEGENDS

OVERVIEW

League of Legends, a highly acclaimed multiplayer online battle arena video game, was developed and launched by Riot Games in 2009. It was created to provide a competitive and entertaining platform for gamers, specifically appealing to those who enjoy strategy and team-based competition. Players, often referred to as "Summoners," use the game to challenge their strategic thinking, reflexes, and teamwork skills. This game is particularly popular among eSports enthusiasts and gamers who relish the dynamic interplay of different characters and roles within a team. By mastering various champions and strategies, players can achieve personal goals and gain recognition within the gaming community. League of Legends is free-to-play, which has significantly contributed to its global popularity. However, the game includes optional in-game purchases, which are primarily cosmetic items like character skins, emotes, and other aesthetic upgrades that enhance the gaming experience without affecting gameplay balance. These purchases are made through a currency called Riot Points (RP), which players can buy with real money. Additionally, players have the option to unlock champions faster via purchases, though these can also be obtained through gameplay by earning another type of in-game currency known as Blue Essence.
