I'm pretty sure you've heard of League of Legends by now. It's one of the fastest growing MOBA-genre game. It's similar to Dota/Dota2/HoN in which you control one champion (sometimes minions depending on which champion you play).
The ultimate goal of each game is to take down the enemies' base, while accumulating golds, kills, team objectives (such as slaying a dragon or the Baron Nashor ["big boss"]), taking down turrets, and etc. to help you achieve the goal. Every game is unique and dynamic, even the losing team can turn the tide of the game through one decently-fought team battle.
After every game, you gain XP and IP on your "account" (the "Summoner" system) and as your account levels (lv.30 is the maximum), you get 1 mastery point and 1 rune slot (explained below). IP is what you use to permanently unlock more champions to play, and to buy runes to customize your champions.
Unlike Dota, you don't really have to worry about disconnects since it has a built-in reconnect feature. LoL also has runes and masteries system that lets you customize your own champion for each game! Whether it be granting extra Armor Penetration, building more Armor, you can customize them in any way you want!
Every tuesday is the "New Rotation" day, where 10 champions out of the almost 90 champions are free to play.
Also, the new mode "Dominion" is out. Picture Arathi Basin from WoW, it's pretty much the same thing. Dominion is for the non-stop action lovers, while the "Summoner's Rift" is for the classic Dota-style players.
The best part? It's completely FREE! You don't have to spend a dime unless you want vanity items such as skins to make your favorite champions look pretty.
