[size=14]I really didn't like League when I played it. Probably to do with how casual a gamer I am.[/h]League is casual the game.
OT: Shit game. I'm sad how much I used to play it having pseudo fun.

So I take it..The game actually sucks.
yes and no
Could you go into detail?
I kinda get the appeal of the game,
But there are times when I thought about playing it. However with the likes of Hawken and Phantasy Star I doubt there would be room for a third online game.
Though I hear from a lot of people that it is a timesink.
From a player standpoint it's a fine game. It's a MOBA style game that relies heavily on teamwork. Each game lasts about 30-45 minutes on average and there are over 100 playable characters that are mostly unique within the game.
From a dev standpoint, it's terrible. The company that makes the game tries to control the metagame as well and they work on a bad business model- microtransactions in the game for purely visual changes, microtransactions for things that you can get just for playing anyway, and a new character every two weeks to keep interest high.
It's fun to play and a decent way to waste time.
Bad business model? What? That's a great business model. There are many games out there with micro transactions that rely heavily on people buying overpowered gear and boosts, in that way even though a player is far more skilled, he will never be better than the guy who spent $500 on his character. In League it's the opposite, there are no boosts that give your character a one up over other people, whether you pay or not you have a fair chance in every game.
Of course, in comparison to Valve's business model, it sucks, but other than that it could be so much worse.

Bad in that they can never stop releasing new champs.

Doesn't it give an unfair advantage to people who buy in game items/champs.
That doesn't make it pay2win, but not a business model I like.

It does in a way. Everything in the game except for purely visual perks can be unlocked from playing enough but if you're impatient you can spend money to unlock champs immediately.

I heard about this. I have a spare code for a skin what was only available if you preordered the game [it was part of a loot bag thing for a gaming event con]. Which I thought was weird since from how I came to know about the game it was free to play game. But you could also preorder it.. um what?
Turns out through a bit more research into it, yes you can get certain runes and stuff for buying into the game as a thank you from the devs. How powered these runes are, I have no idea.

I dunno about preorder, but they did give out skins and stuff if you were playing since the beta.

Yeah, if you think LoL is bad then don't even touch DotA. Don't even look at it's general direction.

Why would anyone play a dead game?
