In the world of big companies with big profit margins, few things in life are free or at least free and worth doing.

In this world comes the game League of Legends created by Riot Games. League of Legends is the birth child of the hugely popular WC3 user created game D.O.T.A and just like D.O.T.A this game is 100% FREE. That's right no monthly fees, no jacked up store prices, just the time it takes to create an account and download the game.

With so many crappy free games online, why should you take the time to download this one? Well League of Legends is not just some free game someone took a day to make and threw it on a website. This game is a FULL game, with stats, friends lists, patches and new/updated maps and characters to play.

Riot Games did one of the smartest things they could do when creating League of Legends they didn't just try to recreate D.O.T.A they got the creators of D.O.T.A to help them make the game have everything thing that was great about D.O.T.A but improve on it and they did it League of Legends is amazing. Even though the game is free Riot Games did not go halfway on this game it is rich in gameplay and the characters are well thought out and are all different in their own way.

In League of Legends you play as "The Summoner". You pick a "Champion" and you play through the game as this champion, of course you level up buying killing minions or NPC creators and by killing other Champions. You upgrade your champion by buying weapons and armor from the shop with gold you collect by killing things and you get a slow streaming supply during the course of the game. The level cap is 18 so the game starts to get very competitive very fast. If you keep dying or "Feeding" one player and he hits level 10 while everyone else is level 5 then that 1 player can ultimately go on huge killing sprees gaining more and more gold and becoming more and more powerful. Eventually becoming so strong that them alone could determine the outcome of the whole game. This makes League of Legends very team based a good team can beat a great player every time so the game gives you the option of playing alone and getting a random team or playing as an arranged team against other arranged teams. Other then the level aspect of your champion, you gain levels as a "Summoner" every game you complete you gain experience which will level you and give you "ability points" (think World of Warcraft talent points) making your champion unique. After every game you also get "Battle Points" which you can use in the shop to buy new champions, skins and upgrades. Riot Games does give you the option to use real money and buy "Riot Points" which you can use in the shop but it takes about 1/3 of riot points to buy something then it does if your using battle points.

League of Legends is one or maybe even is the best free game I have ever played, it is fun, exciting and competitive, everything you want in an multiplayer only game. If you enjoyed D.O.T.A your going to love League of Legends and if you didn't I still recommend trying this game, what do you have to lose?? 15minutes of your life, alot better then losing 60$ on a game a realizing it was worth 5$.
