Whether you pay $300 or $0, League of Legends is a fun game
June 17th, 2011
League of Legends is one of the more popular PC games right now. It's no World of Warcraft, but it's certainly one of the most played top 10 games today.
What makes the game unique, despite being a DotA clone, is the price of admission. It's free for most -- paid for by the more compulsive gamer who likes to collect stuff.
Like this guy commenting on PC Gamer: "After doing some quick math, I found that if you wanna buy every single champion with real money, it will cost you around $300, maybe less."
Of course, you don't have to use real money to buy better characters; you can use in-game rewards to do the same.
Like this guy: "I have been playing for more than 10 months and I haven't spent a dime." Or this guy: "I've been playing the game a long time and I've yet to pay money for a champion. I'm currently missing only 4-5."
What about you? Have you paid to play League of Legends? If so, how much have you burned? If not, how does the game compare to other freemium games in your opinion?

Server stability is an issue in the US, but for the most part the issue is with their client. Adobe AIR was a poor choice, and people still run across SCRIPT errors and client closes. It's a fun game, but I'm waiting until they fix the major bugs before I buy skins.

Sounds like you're not noob-friendly :(
If you throw money at a game, of course it'll be kept alive. As customers however, it's preferable if the game doesn't require some money seeing as it already demands a lot of your time :D

:P just kidding, but I have spent a good $25 or so, so far. I love the game, and once you get a champ you really like, some skins are worth it. (Veigar Greybeard, Cottontail Teemo, etc)

These noobs are different, they ruin the game for 4 others due to one simple misunderstanding, or disagreement. We call it feeding, they just suicide run into the the other team giving them advantage in money. There's also a big problem with leavers, and AFK. Not even mentioning the cursing.
