League of Legends

League of Legends (LoL) is a real-time strategy action video game developed and published by Riot Games. The game can currently be played in five different modes: Tutorial, Custom, Co-Op vs. AI, Normal and Ranked.
Custom mode allows players to manually create custom game sessions that other players can find on a game list and join. Co-op vs. AI is a mode where players are matched either alone or as part of a group against a team of bots.

League of Legends inspired by the popular Defense of the Ancients map for Warcraft III. Players are formed into 2 even teams of Champions, 3v3 or 5v5. As of 7 July 2012 there are 100 different champions from which to choose. Each player begins at opposing sides of a map in an area called the Spawning Pool, near what is called a Nexus. A match is won when either team's nexus is destroyed. To destroy a Nexus, each team must work through a series of Turrets placed along a path to each base referred to as a Lane. Along the way, each player gains levels from killing the opposing team's champions and Minions and defeating neutral monsters. Completing objectives rewards players with gold which is used to purchase items.

Maps in League of Legends are called Fields of Justice. There are currently three Fields of Justice that the players can choose from, two 5-vs-5 maps and one 3-vs-3 map.

1. Summoner’s Rift : The oldest and most venerated Field of Justice is known as Summoner’s Rift. The Rift is located in a remote forest between Freljord, the Serpentine River, and the Ironspine Mountains. The Summoner’s Rift is one of a few locations in Valoran where magical energy is at its greatest concentration, making it a highly sought after locale to pursue magical endeavors. The objective of Summoner’s Rift is extremely straightforward – destroy the enemy’s nexus. In order to do this, champions must traverse down one of three different paths in order to attack their enemy at the weakest points they can exploit
2. Twisted Treeline : The arena itself is located north of the Ironspike Mountains in a large expanse of forest nestled between the city-state of Zaun and one of the major passes that connect Noxus with the northern reaches of Valoran. Twisted Treeline map features faster paced 3v3 action due to its two lanes/two forests layout. One lane is curvy, and the other is straight. The map also features several neutral monster camps, and plenty of opportunities for team fights due to the two large forests located on the map. Other features of Twisted Treeline include new Sigil monsters.
3. Crystal Scar : Crystal Scar is the Field of Justice used in League of Legends: Dominion gameplay. Two teams of five attempt to capture and hold five different capture points in order to destroy the enemies' Nexus.

Dominion is the latest game mode released by Riot Games. Dominion brings faster action and tactical gameplay played on a new map, The Crystal Scar, and features a new Capture-and-Hold playstyle. The Inhibitors and Turrets have been removed - instead, the map has five Capture Points. Capturing one of these points will turn it into a Turret and allow it to start spawning minions. Item availability is also different in Dominion. Two new summoner spells, called Garrison and Promote were released with the new game mode, with the latter also being available in Summoner's Rift. The summoner spell Teleport is the only summoner spell that is not available in this mode. The new game type is aimed to be much shorter than conventional 30-45-minute classic games: most Dominion games average about 15-25 minutes in duration.
