League of Legends is a team-oriented strategy game. The goal is to work together with your teammates to bring down the enemy Nexus, located in the middle of their base, before your opponents take down yours. That sounds straightforward, but how you get there isn’t, so let’s walk you through the basics.
You’ll start by choosing one Champion from a list of many, all of whom have their own unique strengths and personalities. Some are ranged marksmen, pelting their opponents from a safe distance; or burly fighters who like to get up in their opponents’ faces; others are arcane mages, casting powerful spells to trap and damage their enemies. However you like to get things done, there’s a champion out there to match your style.
