VPN Man I usually hear CoD. How is LoL popular? I don't know anyone that plays it.


It is extremely popular.
Maybe not to console players, but for PC players it is widely known.
It averages about 70k viewers watching streams on Twitch.tv
When there are tournaments it goes up to over 200k viewers.


I know it is, if it is Popular don't you think I should know people that have a interest in the game?

Genetics This game is pretty fun. Rarely have time to play it though.


For a free to play game it does seem very enjoyable but just isn't my cup of tea.


Nah me either... I cannot play this type of game, it bores me to tears!

But all my friends play it.
