League of Legends, like all MOBA games, stems from Defense of the Ancients, originally a Warcraft 3 custom map, which itself was based on Aeon of Strife, a Starcraft custom map. Summoners can also directly improve a Champion's stats during gameplay by equipping "Runes", and bringing two Support Powers into battle. Unlike the Champions who start each match at Level 1, the Player Character Summoners are persistent and gain experience with every battle. The ongoing lore is now primarily communicated through Universe, an extensive encyclopedia website as well as written stories, artwork, comics, animations, and special character interactions. The lore has developed in a massive way since then, employing a Continuity Reboot that wrote out the League entirely in favour of focusing upon the living tales of individual characters and entire nations that populate Runeterra. The Framing Device originally revolved around the titular "League of Legends", a magical battle arena used to settle disputes between the competing factions living in the magical fantasy world of Runeterra. There are also a number of secondary objectives scattered around the map which grant significant bonuses to whoever claims them. Your goal is to destroy the enemy base (the Nexus) by first eliminating the turrets that defend it, which usually requires a heap-load of Cannon Fodder Mooks to tank the turret blasts while the Champions whittle it down. Like DotA, League of Legends gives you control of one Champion, who has unique attacks and abilities, and sends you out against enemy Mooks and Champions to earn experience points and gold. Yes, even more than the behemoth World of Warcraft. League of Legends is a free-to-play Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game and Spiritual Successor to the widely popular Warcraft III custom map, Defense of the Ancients, and claims to be the most played game in the world.
