League of Legends - What.. Why.. Where.. HOW? (Part 1)

So.. What is League of Legends?

League of Legends is a strategy game. It's category is MOBA that means Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. So as it says, you have to fight on virtual arena (map) with other champions controlled by other players. 

Do I have any goals?

Goal in League is to work together with rest of your team and destroy enemy nexus in their base before enemies will do the same. Maybe that sounds straightforward. Yeah, destroy it is, but getting to the enemy base isn't. 

Maybe some basics.

Sure. You start a game by choosing a type of queue. Then you must wait, average 20-40 seconds to matchmarking can find a players you can play with. It looks at your hidden MMR (Match-making rating) points, your league and division (if you have played 10+ solo/duo ranked matches or 5 3v3/5v5 team ranked matches in current season) and some other things. When it finds a 9 missing people (or less if you are playing with friends) you all have to accept a match. Then you need to select a champion. There are currently about 130 champions you can select. Every champion has unique abilities, strenghts and weak points. There is a champion for everyone. You can find Supports, Marksmen (known also as ADC - Attack Damage Carry), Mages (APC - Ability Power Carry), Tanks, Assasins.. All of them are ranged or melee.

What's next?

After everyone selects his champion you all must wait for all players to load. On loading screen you can see your teammates' league in last season, and everyone's Summoner icon (Avatar), champion, nick and skin.

Wait, what? Skin?

Yup. Every champion has min. one skin. Skins changes how champion, his abilities, and sometimes his voice, quotes and animations looks like. You can buy skins for Riot Points, that you can buy for real money.

The cheapest skins change only champion model and splash art. Some of them have little changes to abilities appearance. No longer created. 
Next price category are 750 RP skins. They change only champion model, splash art and sometimes animations. 

975 RP skins are the most occuring. They change champion model, splash art, sometimes ability effects, newer 975 RP skins also have sometimes changed sound and graphic effects. Some of them have new Recall animation too.
