July 21, 2010 at 12:04Game review League of Legends or a logical continuation of Dota
Already created many multiplayer online games. There are simulators, and strategies, and RPGs, and ... The list is endless!
But a game that would not take much time, which would allow you to gather your friends on Skype and argue on pressing topics for an interesting activity, that would captivate your rapidly changing world and, finally, in which there would be interesting and exciting gameplay - such a game was until LoL or League of Legends from the creators of Dota appeared.
The creators did not get very sprayed, and why, if DotA was so popular, and created an improved version of the famous map for Warcraft. Now there are 2 game options - for a team of 3 people and 5 of them.
Entering the client, you find yourself in the management of your account, where you can analyze statistics on games, monitor your level and chat with friends. It is worth mentioning that the game is free, and for the money you can buy skins for your favorite heroes, that is, the presence of money does not affect the balance of the game, which is very important.
Your account can and should be upgraded. For each game you get experience, for each level skill points and the ability to buy a rune. More about this:
Skillsconsist of 3 branches and affect the parameters of your future hero. Depending on the skill leveling, your future hero will receive various advantages to his parameters and adding to his abilities.
Runes also affect the parameters of your hero. The more of them, the better for you. But we will not dwell on this - you yourself will easily figure it out.
So, you decided to play. You automatically get into the queue for the game, and as soon as 2 teams with similar levels are selected, you will go to the hero selection menu.
Your team is on the left, there you will see the choice of your party members, and you yourself can choose from the heroes who are in the middle of the screen.
After choosing a hero, you need to decide on additional spells that you will take with you:
There is also a chat here where you can discuss tactics with the team and express their opinion on the selected heroes.
You start at the healing fountain in the best traditions of Dota. Spend your first savings on your clothes there. The system of things here is much better thought out than in the same bunker.
After shopping, you choose one of the passages to the enemy’s castle and go to war. As you already understood, your goal is to destroy the castle of the second side. If you are killed during the battle, you will have to wait a certain time and again rise at the fountain at its base.
On the way to the enemy’s castle, you will encounter towers that hit very painfully and are a serious obstacle to victory. And to destroy these towers you will be helped by minions (mobs), which after a certain period of time appear at your base and run towards the enemy’s castle, destroying everything in its path.
Graphics, in spite of its cartoonishness, is very pleasant. So do not look at the pictures, but go in, download a client and try to play this game only once and you are guaranteed to have fun.
Just now the first season has begun, where there will be a struggle for ratings, etc. I don’t understand this much, because I can’t get there in terms of my level (they get there from level 20, but there are a total of 30 of them).
What is most pleasant - I spend 30 minutes on the game. Which very, even the busiest person can afford. And the opportunity to assemble a team from your friends and remember youth during the game is an invaluable feeling! :)
At the moment, the client only supports Windows, but soon they promise the client on the Mac. (thanks coffee for the addition).
So join, for now, watch a nice trailer for the first season from Riot Games:
