Legend in your own Right!

I've started to get back into League of Legends recently and wanted to talk a bit about it.
July of last year is when I started and didn't really know what the MOBA genre was. I expected more of the same but was surprised to find that the game was completely unique. I'm not surprised at all that the game picked up quite a bit in popularity.
If you've never checked out the game you can check it out here for free!
MOBA or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena is a newish Genre of games. They took an RTS style of gaming pulled from games like Starcraft and Warcraft. Removed all of the base building and resources. You get to control a hero type character and sometimes pets in a 5 vs 5 arena with the goal of destroying the enemy's base. The first game of the genre was is DoTA - Dawn of the Ancients. League of Legends and several others have followed suit in what has become a very popular Genre with Tournaments and Competitions.
I recently downloaded the game again and started out on my quest to really learn about the game a bit more. What I found was a plethora of Champions or Hero's added to the game. There is such a unique array of characters available for just about any play style you might like.
What I really love and I mean absolutely love about this game is that it is truly free to play. Sure some of the other games out there are free to play but they usually restrict you with multiple things that you need to buy like inventory packs and items like that. What I truly love about League of Legends is that you can get everything essential by just playing the game.
Need more rune slots? Save up and buy them with in game currency. Goes the same with with Champions even the brand new ones. Each of the Champions has alternate skins which cannot be bought with the in game currency and are just Fluff to change how the character looks. When you do actually buy a skin it feels more like you are donating to them for an amazing game.
There's always a drawback to a game and I'd have to say that the community is a bit rough on newbies. I suggest playing vs bots for your first 5 or so levels if you are new to the MOBA genre.
The community does however recognize skilled players so be prepared to receive praise if you did really well.
I've had mixed results as far as my skill in the game but I've been sick the last few days and leave it to a cold to throw off your game. Check it out and keep a look out for "The Serene" I may just melt your face off!
