League of Legends


http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=102596.0

For anyone that doesnt want to click on the link here are the instructions to get the beta key.

"Anyway, down to the nitty gritty. If you would like a beta invite, just simply email me at BCRLarias@gmail.com with "League of Legends Beta Invite" in the title. I will send you back a beta key when I check the computer next Please remember that LoL is under a NDA -> no posting screenshots or vids or anything on the interwebs Best of luck to you guys, and hope to see you in game!"

It's something completely different than anything i'd normally play so its a nice change. Been playing for a few days and I'm kinda addicted.

Different type of game. If anyone played Dota then you will be familiar with the genre.

Here is the link to the offical site

Re: League of Legends


Awesome!!!

I used to play a lot of WC3 and DotA, but that was a few years ago.
Although I have a friend of mine who still plays it, and he says it's still popular after all these years. So if the guys who created DotA did this, it should be pretty solid.

I'm definitely getting in on the beta.

Wow, I had no idea the whole DotA thing was this huge.

Here's another one that looks pretty good: http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/

Looks very similar to the League of Legends though.

HoN is currently in closed Beta, so I'm going to keep an eye on it.

Re: League of Legends


What kind of games are these? I'm not able to tell from the websites. MMO, RTS, or something else?

Re: League of Legends


My take on it is they are a mix of mmo, rts, and action rpg.

These questions and answers came straight from the FAQ page:

Is League of Legends an MMORPG?
League of Legends is not an MMORPG. However, League of Legends will have a persistent game element that is in the spirit of an MMORPG. That is to say, while a large aspect of the game will be session-based battles; there will also be persistent elements, such as the Summoner, abilities, and levels that exist continuously throughout the game. We will also offer very powerful in-game guild support. Additionally, we will have robust, ongoing community management and support. Ready to infuse some fast-paced, competitive action into your MMORPG experience?-League of Legends here we come.

Is League of Legends an RTS?
League of Legends is not an RTS. However, League of Legends will allow players to engage in short, session-based battles in the spirit of your favorite RTS games. League of Legends will also feature robust multiplayer features such as intelligent matchmaking, tournaments, ladders, and other forms of competitive teamplay.

Take a look here at the FAQ if you have any other questions. http://www.leagueoflegends.com/pages/faq

Also found this forum thread that kind of tackles the "TYPE" of game this is.

LOL, no wonder I couldn't figure it out, doesn't sound like they have figured it out themselves yet emoticon

Do you play a single character on a battlefield or control multiple units?
