League of Legends (a.k.a. LoL) is one game
that composes the Legacy of Defence
of the Ancient game on Warcraft
III.
Original
Defense of the Ancients (from
Warcraft III)
You have one objective: kill the enemy nexus
that represents their base core. From your
own nexus spawns creeps, sent
to fight the enemy team.
This free game takes place on a map with
three lanes that the minions
occupy during each wave. Towers (turrets)
are placed in the lanes at regular
intervals. Two nexus towers
guard your heaven while three turrets occupy
each lane.
Minion teams are composed of guards
(melee fighters) and wizards
(ranged fighters). Of course blue guys hate
purple guys and initiate combat.
This little ecosystem would be calm and
largely in rest, punctuated by some battles
here and there. But of course you are here,
with four allies to fight with you. You are
called a summoner, provided
with two summoner spells used
to achieve map domination.
Summoner
Spells
Of course, you will not be teleported to the
map itself. As a summoner you will … well …
summon a hero. You can pick from a variety
of melee fighters, ranged shooters,
bruisers, and support characters. The list
of heroes you can collect is limited by the
free-to-play series of the week. The
rotation happens once a week and enables you
to test out each hero.
By achieving victories, you will earn
experience and IP points that you can use to
purchase heroes permanently, or upgrades
when you reach future levels.
