Players split into two teams, with each player controlling two or more champions. The goal of the game is to destroy the enemy nexus that is a portal in the enemy base. The game takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on the map that can have two or three lanes. Lanes are corridors connecting the two nexuses and are populated with towers and minions from both teams. Towers are defense structures preventing enemy champions and minions from rushing into the nexus. Minions are weak units that grow in strength as they increase in number. They always try to advance toward the enemy nexus and attack any enemy in their way. Jungles are dangerous areas between lanes where champions can venture to defeat monsters to gain gold and buy powerful items. The river is a central area where your champions can go fight the colossal outsider... or die trying!

For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever. 4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more. 3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that. 2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances. 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance. 1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game. 1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.
