Welcome back LoL lovers J! Today i am going to talk about what i like the most about League of Legends. This post can be viewed as a personal opinion over the game; it can be viewed as a thumbs up for the team that makes this game great and can also be viewed as what League of Legends has that other games don’t. I don’t talk about MOBA games only here but online gaming in general now in 2011 (2012 is almost here ^_^).
So without further notice J let’s dance! Uno – Dos – Tres !
The first thing that comes to my mind, when talking about video games, is obviously the GAMEPLAY! Here LoL shines. Why you ask? Well because it has everything you could want from a video game, or to be more precise everything you could ask from the ONLINE experience.
First off you gotta be online (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, remember? J)! Second, this is a TEAM GAME! I like this because i can play it with my friends (IN A TEAM hehe ^_^, together, not pwning each other) and it’s nice. It’s also sweeeet to R**E random online people with my premade of 5 TEAM. Yeah that’s how we roll J premade baby! I kid, i kid, now back on topic. If you play in a premade team you know what you have to do. If you play solo queue, or even „better”, you are new to the game and in solo queue, you have to do team work and team play and team communication etc. Don’t ruin other players experience (on purpose at least J)!
This is a PVP game which is fun, fast and competitive on top levels. It’s that kind of IN YO FACE game. YO MOMMA’S SO FAT style J! With non-stop action from min 1, untill the end (or from level 1 of your champion, untill level 18 or end-game). You don’t have to wait to see, or scout (as in search base, location of structures and important places on the map; not as in hero/champion position in fog of war) your enemy. No base building here and also all players start with equal chances in the beginning of a match. Why i say this? This makes the game faster and more enjoyable for the player and for the spectators. Focusing on action, fighting, strategy, team play and map awarness. I love base building, but that’s why we have C&C (btw Command & Conquer: Generals 2 announced). And unbalanced PVP J well that’s Diablo 2 for ya (and probably 3). In LoL, the skins are truly the only advantage you can have against the enemy J. The pimpest team always WINS!
Pimpin’ aint EASY!
The champions! They are so fkn cool! Each with his own personality! Visual concept, unique voice acting, skills etc. You can play this game in 10000 different ways alone, or in 100 different styles with the same champion, or in 1000000 different team compositions and/or game situations.
The servers! Well the servers are great IMO! Before the split in 3, they were so-so. But now they are great! Good stability, good pings, good queue times. Just plain good! Here is where Heroes of Newerth fails short. Also a lot of EA games. Too bad for RTS L. Newer Call of Duty games also have mediocre or sucky sucky servers. Fighting games are just entering the „real” online stage now (2009-2010 first true stage but you get the idea). This is very important for a modern game. For a strategy game. For a team game!
Patches!! Some games have real problems when new patches go live. Not League of Legends! The patches are great. They add new gameplay features, new game mechanics, they balance the SH**, they fix bugs etc. Overall the patching so long has been great! Si si (no im not spanish J) el patchos are muy buenos J!
New content! Some call it nowadays DLC! Or downloadable content. Well, most companies try to milk you for as much as they can in 2011... You get things that had to be in the game from the start, or you get a small amount of fresh content that could have been for FREE!! Remember new maps, heroes or other stuff for FREE!! Like the OLD days. Well LoL is a free game. And all the core and beautiful gameplay experience you could want, you get it for FREE! It’s all there! You only have to pay real money for skins. That’s it! All the other new content, new gameplay features, new champions, new modes all it’s FREE. Even the runes are IP based so yeah. The CONSTANT FLOW OF NEW CONTENT AND PATCHING IS GREAT IN LOL! AND IT’S FREE! League of Legends FTW!
ATM, this game is the most played game online (it surpassed WoW), this is another thing that i like about it! Short queue times! Tons of players (diversity)! Also it’s going stronger and stronger in the e-Sports „scene”!
Not a decisive factor, but it still counts, the graphics! They are fresh! Original! They have the „happy happy joy joy” feeling! It’s like the Red Alert of Moba’s. Some like Red Alert, some like classic CNC, some like both. Same here. Some like the funnier LoL way, or the more serious HoN way (well serious can be depressing at times ^_^)
Did i mentioned it’s FREE ?!
The one and only feature i TRULY MISS in LoL...is the b**wj*b function! Hell ya!
I KID I KID JJ!
No fo’ real, i miss the replay system. Riot you have to give us LoL lovers a good replay system! After that the game is PERFECT!
So that sums it up! There you have it folks! The main reasons why i love this game! No, it’s not about NBA (damn lockout), it’s about League of Legends!
I C YA!
Much Love!
