League of Legends is an action RTS/MOBA-game developed and published by Riot Games. Featuring arena styled matches in the "Fields of Justice", focusing on team-play, countering the opponent as well as good tactics. We are eager to see teams step up to show what they are made of.

League of Legends is a free MOBA game that is a lot of fun to play with your friends or just by yourself if you need to kill some time. You can download League of Legends from their official web-page, then make an account and head out to the fields of justice to conquer the enemy.
