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.

The game says free, but once you get into it you won't realize how much money you'll spend.
Beware.
(It's still fun as hell though)

I like it a lot, it is very team oriented if you look cooperative games then you will most likely like this one.
