    play time doesn't equal quality, I played it a bit and found only a few characters were good, far too many were simply rubbish.

    I tried playing but the servers were just so damn packed. 3:
     
    And the funny thing is when i got on i was actually good at it.
     
    maybe that was the turn off for me is that it seemed easy?

    And your opinion is pretty Rubbish as well.
    I find alot of FPS games really boring unless they have a REALLY good story but most of them have 2hour long thrown together bullcrap stories because the devs only give a BLEEP about aweful imbalanced multiplayer. PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU WANT QUALITY GAMES

    All because of DOTA... Never really liked that game. I gravitated more towards Tank Wars on WC3 custom games.

    LoL has been growing rapidly since release about three years ago. I have a lot of games played but haven't touched it in a year when I got tired of the community behavior.

    First, please use spell check. Second, how does that have anything do with what I said? I mean I don't even know where to begin with that "come back," if you can call it that. Seriously dude, instead of flaming, why not actually come up with something intelligent to say? Such as, "LoL's new characters, they've added a fair amount over the games life, have new abilities such as teleport that help diversify the characters skills so new characters don't have to be "better," they simply need to have unique skill sets. This helps reduce/diminish the effect of new characters becoming over powered"

    +1 so much negativity. You will find that not many people will want to associate with you with that kind of attitude towards everything.

    All you guys hatin' on LoL...
     
    I have a particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare to you guys, if you stop hating LoL that will be the end of it, I will not look for you, I will not pursue you,  but if you don't... I will look for you, I will find you, and I will make you watch the My Little Pony movie boxset.

    I just read this as a fun fact, which was probably the OP's intention.  No need to argue this way.  I like its abbreviated name.  LoL!  I'd never play it though, since it's F2P and strategy based as far as I know.   I'm really shocked that it has overtaken CoD.

    hahaha +1. Idk what is up with these LoL players, I used to play a lot but the community is just plain horrid, if you dont play the game 24/7 and are god-like you get kicked. I guess playing free games gives people some sense of unfounded entitlement.
     
    Seronx, good call, for a moment there I was thinking that it was from law abiding citizen, but now that you say it I remember the phone call very well from Taken, both of which were pretty good movies.

    LoL is an OK game is what I'll go with. The community is crap no matter how you go about it, in fact in some cases it almost seems worse than CoD's community is now. Secondly, every time a new champion comes into play, the Pay 2 Win aspect shows up. The newest champion is always OP for about a week or two after initial release to get those sales. 
     
    I won't go on to really really trash it, because we'll my friend plays a ton and I like to play with him when I can and THAT is what makes it enjoyable to me. Premades are the only thing that make MOBA's fun for me.

    If you've ever played DoTA 1/2 or HoN, LoL is a breeze to play compared to other moba style games. i've put over 1300 games into League of legends (at a ~.9 w/l ratio right now) and it's pretty fun. If you play it alone you won't play it for long. it gets boring pretty quick.

    I play Skyrim. 
     
    That feel when your AI companions in Skyrim are 1000x more useful than anyone you've ever played with in an MMO.
     
    Skyrim.
     
    It's THAT good.
