Perhaps it will gain traction among younger users in the coming months as it grows in overall popularity. Interestingly, only 27 of the 1,500 12-17 year-olds we studied in our national data collection project from the summer of 2016 indicated that League was their favorite game. Although the suggested age to play is 13, the fact that it is free for anyone to download and use has opened it up to younger audiences as well.Īs of September 2016, League has over 100 million monthly players and most of the game’s users are between the ages of 19 and 25 and male, as they make up 92% of the total online population. While the game is rated “T” for teens ages thirteen and older – describing a game to have intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content as well as strong language – League’s content description includes blood, fantasy violence, mild suggestive themes, and use of alcohol and tobacco. League can be played on either a Windows-based or Apple computer. Furthermore, since League is available worldwide, players can form their own teams and then go on to compete against other teams from across the world. In addition, users can also make “virtual” purchases within the game using the gold they collect in order to increase their character’s attributes, such as their various defenses, types of attacks, and magic skills. Players in League (also known as “summoners”) are matched up with others depending on their skill and game level so that everyone is placed into a competitive setting for a more enjoyable and challenging experience.
League of Legends (or League for short) is the most popular multiplayer online game in the world, and takes place in a 3-D battle arena setting involving role-playing and real-time strategy elements into its live environment.
