League of Legends

Has anyone else heard of this game? It's very fun to play; technically speaking it's an MMORTS, although the RTS elements are vague; it plays more like a top-down RPG. Basically you control a certain character, which you can select at the beginning of the round, and fight with your teammates, along with minions (read: cannon fodder) to take down the enemy's nexus.

If this doesn't convince you, the cinematic trailer might:

*shudders at the soundtrack*

Really the only problem with the game is the prevalent partial nudity among female characters, so if you or your parents have a problem with that, you probably shouldn't play. But that's hardly reason not to.

Two of my college buddies are addicted to this and keep telling me to get this game. But I hear the matches take like an hour and a half each, and once one person leaves in the middle of the match, that team is screwed.

I should probably look into it, though, because one of them is like hardcore addicted, so it HAS to be an at least decent game.

Fixed. I have seen some games where a team still killed a full-strength team with four people. It just depends on the teams.

LoL is an awsome game, especially when you organise a team with your friends.
matches take between 30min and 1hr 20min averaging 40min

one problem though is if there is a level 30 person on your opponents side and you dont have one your team is quite likely to lose
anyone below level 20 is considered a noob to these guys.

in my opinion if this game was sold in store in would sell for more than call of duty games if they didnt have the extra price for the brand.

and the game is always getting new content eg over the last month 2 new champions have been added.
