League of Legends (LoL for Mac) is an incredibly popular multiplayer online battle arena video game (also known as MOBA), created by the Riot Games and available for free for all Mac users with the compatible hardware configuration. Originally conceived as the competitor to the cult hit mod “Defense of the Ancients” made for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, League of Legends for Mac continually evolved into a global phenomenon, attracting hundreds of millions of players, large e-Sports attendance and continuing attention of the worldwide audience.
The game incorporates all the central tropes of the MOBA genre, allowing two teams of five players (Summoners) to control their screen heroes (Champions) on a large map, filled with AI-controlled opponents, structures and various terrain features. Each team strives to destroy opponents’ central structure while protecting their own.
Built to promote cooperation, individual and team tactics, and smart evolution of Champion abilities that grow throughout each match, League of Legend represents one of the most popular games in the crowded MOBA genre. In addition to the central competitive mode, the game also supports various other activities, including offline training play mode against AI opponents.
Originally released in 2009, many years before its today’s main competitors, League of Legends today commands an audience of over 100 million monthly players, thriving e-Sport scene (with regular League Championship Series events being held in North America, Europe and Asia), and carefully balanced freemium model that allows users to customize wide variety of their gameplay experience with eye-catching cosmetic items.
LoL for macOS operates as one of the most popular Free 2 Play games on the market, with modest system requirements that are friendly even to gamers with old or modest Mac configurations. In 2019, Riot Games announced the arrival of League of Legends: Wild Rift, an abridged version of the game optimized for mobile and console platforms.
