About

The main story takes about 15767 hours. It won 2 awards, including The Game Awards − Best Esports Game and British Academy Games Award for Persistent Game.

League of Legends is a fast-paced, competitive online game that blends the speed and intensity of an RTS with RPG elements. Two teams of powerful champions, each with a unique design and playstyle, battle head-to-head across multiple battlefields and game modes. With an ever-expanding roster of champions, frequent updates and a thriving tournament scene, League of Legends offers endless replayability for players of every skill level.

Story

The game takes place on Runeterra, a planet shaped by the remnants of an ancient conflict between cosmic forces. Originally, players were cast as "Summoners" commanding champions on the Fields of Justice, but in 2014 the lore was rebooted, removing summoners entirely and establishing Runeterra as a standalone world. The setting spans diverse regions, from the technologically advanced city of Piltover to the oppressed underground of Zaun, and encompasses genres ranging from Lovecraftian horror to traditional sword and sorcery. While the game itself has no linear campaign, its expanding universe of champions, factions, and conflicts forms the foundation for spin-off media including the animated series Arcane, comics, and narrative-driven spin-off games.

What is happening now

League of Legends, Riot's decade-plus-old competitive MOBA, is preparing to introduce Team Voice - a feature that would allow players to communicate with teammates via voice chat regardless of whether they're in a premade party. The addition marks a significant shift for a game that has historically relied on pings and typed chat for coordination. Details about the implementation have begun surfacing, including requirements around player Honor status and compatibility with third-party tools like Voicemod. While the feature could reshape how Solo Queue matches play out, its effectiveness will apparently hinge on specific conditions that Riot has yet to fully detail publicly. The development represents one of the game's most substantial communication overhauls since its 2009 launch.
