Gameplay of League of Legends

First of all, League of Legends must be downloaded in order to play and can take a while, around an hour, for the game to be playable. Since you probably do not want to wait this long to see what the game is like, here are some pictures.

First is a picture of the main menu of the game when you first login to the game:

Unfortunately I cannot find a better quality picture but I will explain the picture. As you can see, there is a large red play button which is obviously pressed to begin looking for a game. To the right of this play button is your summoner icon, a simple picture chosen from an assortment of given pictures. Next it shows your summoner name, a name that you choose(like a username), which is inside of your xp bar. The xp bar is how you see how long it is until you level up. The maximum level is 30 which can take a while to get. Then comes two numbers. This is the amount of rp and ip that you have on your account. Rp, riot points, is basically how the game makes money, it is a currency that is purchases with real money. Ip, influence points, are used to purchase champions and a few other things. The yellow- orange button below your summoner name leads you to the shop:

Since this post will be long enough , I will quickly explain the store. The store is where you buy champions, skins (bought with rp that make champions look cooler or more interesting), and a few other more complicated items.

Now back to the main menu. In the middle left of the screen, you can find ranked games that are currently being played, you may spectate these games. Below these ranked games, it shows the most current news posts that may contain patch notes, changes made to the game, or things such as new skins. To the right of the news is a video that can be anything from a explaining a new champion or some sort of music video. These are the basic parts of the main menu. Next I will show you pictures ingame.

In the bottom left of this picture, you see a portrait of the champion that you are playing and your xp bar. Your ingame xp bar is different, you gain xp by killing minions. Your level goes back to one each game and the max level is 18. Each time you level up, you can improve or unlock one of your abilities. In the bottom left of the screen you can see your abilities. Each champion has four unique abilities. The fourth ability which cannot be unlocked until level 6 in most cases, is usually the best ability while other abilities may do damage, restore health, or give you a unique passive, which gives you a special ability that is always active. In the bottom right is your minimap which is just a layout of the entire map. In the top right corner it shows how many kills, deaths, and assists you have, and also how long the game has been going on.

That is all for now, and in closing, here is a picture of what it looks like at maximum graphics:
