Recently I have been wanting to try LoL after ignoring the game for so many years. Can anyone give me a run down of LoL's worth, and it's history?

Chicom owned trash.

At this point what games aren't Chicom owned? Tencents is in almost everything.(Multiplayer)

If it isn't free to play, odds are good the Chinese do not own it yet.

It is not a foolproof rule, but a good one nonetheless.

Good points. For some reason chinks and other azns love free to play-pay to win games.

Is the gameplay too repetitive or simplistic? Like common give me details.

Last hitting is tedious and you have to do that for about 10 to 12 minutes at the start of every game. Then a skirmish for objectives like rift herald or dragon break s out and one side starts to snowball.

Sorry I don't understand the terminologies "last hitting, rift herald, dragon breakout, and snowball".

From what I understand that each game duration is around 40 minutes.

I played it years ago, it's a boring shitfest killing minions until one or two people do something stupid and die which causes a nearly unrecoverable snowball where the winning team wins harders and the losing team has no chance of a comeback. then the game drags out for 10 minutes after the winner is already decided.

If you want to waste 40 mins with 9 other toxic people who trash each others build as soon as the game starts. Its a blast.

Every so often you'll get a decent round where your team comes from behind and wins. But in the end you realize nothing was gained and your time was stolen.

Champs are broken with wokeness, pick up a different game. Shit ton of girls "play" this game, which is why the chat becomes a complete dumpster fire and non stop pings, better off muting everyone until half your team gives up.

Better to go out and exercise.

I see thank you very much. This was the type of comment I wanted.

Honestly at this point there aren't many games that feel fun for me.

Almost all video games eventually get tiring for me once I have learned all of the mechanics to the point where it feels like I am no longer playing a game but doing a chore.

I have picked up so many games and left them a few days later because eventually they got boring.

I do guess just going outside would be more worthwhile than just sifting through a sea of games to find one that stick with you.

About 40% of games are frustrating, unwinnable bullshit. Another 40% are guaranteed victories unless you go out of your way to lose on purpose.

So only about 1 out of 5 games feels like a satisfying challenge - the other 4 are boring or frustrating

One of my favorites was an older game called tribes 2, the world was big enough to hold up to 64 players. Good times doing bombing runs on the enemy base with enemy ships in pursuit. While your flag runner goes in for the enemy flag.

I agree with the mechanics for games getting repetitive and old. Right now i find more enjoyment with older games or developing my own using ue4.

I like LoL, but it is a very competitve game that is constantly changing, which can be frustrating.
It takes a long time to learn the basics and even longer to learn all the champions, by the time you do figure it out, some major change will come along and make you learn it again.
It is owned in part by a Chinese company, and Riot games has been very condescending to its players multiple times.
It is and always has been free to play, just don't waste money buying character skins, stop playing for awhile when you get frustrated and you might enjoy it.
Watch some videos about the game, try the Co-Op vs. AI mode to practice and mute anyone who talks smack. It's just a vidya game, but some people take it too seriously.
Make sure and add to your Friends anyone you had a fun game with and eventually you'll always have good people to play with.
Do not waste your time playing Ranked mode, it's completely rigged and full of toxic tryhards.
That should cover it.
