A five-versus-five battle arena where each player controls one champion and the teams fight to destroy the enemy base. It is the most-played competitive PC game in the world and the backbone of modern esports.
Kit's verdict · 8.3/10
A bottomless strategy game with a toxic reputation it mostly earned.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Over 170 champions with real depth
- Every match plays out differently
- World-class esports to learn from
Not so much
- Huge learning curve for new players
- Ranked can be miserable and toxic
Play it if competitive players who love mastering a character and outthinking a team.
Skip it if anyone who wants short, low-stress sessions or hates losing because of teammates.
Cheats & codes
No cheat codes
League of Legends doesn't have cheat codes. The tips and secrets below are the next best thing.
Tips
Play it better
- Focus on last-hitting minions; gold from farming beats gold from risky kills in most games.
- Glance at the minimap every few seconds. Most deaths come from enemies you could have seen coming.
- Pick one role and two or three champions and play only those until you know them cold.
- Use the Practice Tool to drill combos and test item builds without pressure.
- Recall right after you push your minion wave into the enemy tower, so you lose as little farm as possible.
- Group up for Dragons and Baron Nashor. Objectives win games far more often than kills do.
- Mute chat with /mute all if a game turns sour. It's one of the most effective ways to climb.
