I'm getting pretty bored of it, but it is a pretty good game. Definitely worth a shot if you dont mind a steep learning curve

These numbers are insane. Never played LoL ever, never thought I could play it as my computers never have been able to play games smoothly. Game is more popular than I thought. If I get a new rig I'm going to have to try it.
