Two main creators of the popular “Defense of the Ancients” mod for the “Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne” game worked together to create LoL. They had the idea about making the new game after years of playing DOTA – they began working on the game in the beginning of 2005.

The gameplay is the next: there are two teams made out of three, four, or five players (mostly five) who spawn at the opposite sides of a square map. Both teams have their own main building called The Nexus and the winner is whoever destroys the opponent’s Nexus first. There are three paths between them to fight on, and there are three towers of each team placed on every lane – every player controls a single hero which they choose before the start of the game, and they kill creeps which spawn on the lanes every 30 seconds. By killing creeps and destroying towers, they gather experience and gold with which they buy items to make their heroes stronger.

Numerous competitions and tournaments are held every year, and LoL is currently one of the most played games around the world.
