This trait doesn’t only belong to this game, of course. There are jerks everywhere. But it makes a huge difference here. In the time that Mr. “Awesome” was typing his horribly misspelled taunts and insults, he could have been stabbing an enemy dude in the face. So it goes.

Free to play and addictive as hell, League of Legends delivers a really entertaining, competitive environment for RTS twitch players. If you can overlook the jerks and some of the quirks, it is a great experience that has caused me to lose many hours of sleep due to the old “just one more round” syndrome. If you liked Demigod, are a fan of Defense of the Ancients or just like good, online games, then you owe it to yourself to try this out.
