LoL is a free game and is powered by micro-transaction. The game was first announced on October 7, 2008, and released on October 27, 2009. Since its release, LoL has been very well received and has grown in popularity in the following years. One of the most popular video games of all time is this one.

With the goal of becoming the most player-focused game company in the world, over the years, Riot has released many new games.

2. The different game modes

The battlefield is divided into two main modes: Traditional and Dominion. The Traditional Battle Mode requires the player to destroy the opponent’s main house while defending his own. Dominion mode requires the player to hold a large number of strong points on the map to deal damage to the enemy’s Nexus fortress (main house).

Traditional

Summoner’s Rift

Summoner’s Rift

As the largest arena currently, Summoner’s Rift is divided equally diagonally, divided into three paths towards the opponent’s house. Each lane is defended by three turrets and a barracks, the main house is defended with two turrets. Each side of the map has a large forest area with powerful enchantments, and a river in the middle is home to two powerful monsters that give both teams huge benefits.

Twisted Treeline

Devil's Forest

With a smaller area than Summoner’s Rift, the Twisted Treeline is designed horizontally, with two lanes with a neutral area. Two pillars are placed along each road, and the main house is protected by one. Each team consists of three players, each player starting with a significant amount of gold. With a narrow area and fast leveling up, players can play short matches with a high number of lives.

Howling Abyss

A battlefield with only one line of League of Legends, Howling Abyss is a map with two houses located at the two ends of the bridge. The bridge is defended by two towers with a barracks, the main house is defended with two pillars. With no neutral zones to distract players, Howling Abyss offers players the most intense teamfights of all maps.

Dominion

The Crystal Scar

The base on Crystal Scar is arranged in a circle around a neutral zone, where there are powerful charms for each team. Each team can get the Storm Shield charm at the center of the map. Small quests also appear throughout the game, giving each team a chance to gain enchantments by completing objectives.

3. How to play each game mode

Traditional

Summoner’s Rift

Summoner's Rift

Summoner’s Rift’s main goal is just to destroy the enemy’s relationship. However, to achieve this, it is important for champions to travel through lanes or lanes where they must fight against enemy champions and destroy their turrets.

It is important to place the Wards in specific positions in each line. For example, in the «Bot» line, they can be placed at the entrance of the area where the Dragon is located, as well as in the bushes or grass, by the river’s head.

In the “Middle” zone, they can be placed in the first brush, on each side of the river. Likewise, on the path go from the river into the forest and towards your tower. Alternatively, they can be placed on the second brush close to Baron Nashor or Dragon. However, you have to be careful because enemies are also thought of in this strategy.

Regarding the «Top» line, they must be placed in the brush in the upper part of the line, also in the brush in the river and in the exits close to the line. This way you will be able to keep all areas visible and know if enemies are approaching.

Twisted Treeline

Twisted Treeline

In fact, Twisted Treeline was long forgotten in LoL, in stark contrast to Summoner’s Rift. When receiving only a few minor changes and the number of players is decreasing.

Although the visuals and gameplay have been upgraded in version 5.11 in mid-2015, one thing is for sure that fans will soon not be able to experience the 3v3 mode anymore. Because this map with the same game mode was officially discontinued in 2019.

It is also because the game mode Summoner’s rift is still one of the most popular modes not only in League of Legends but also in other MOBA games like Dota. So Riot wants to focus on playing on the 5vs5 map, which is also a right choice to help many new players get started and it doesn’t take much time to get used to the game.

Howling Abyss

Howling Abyss

To start, the champion must be blocked and the opponent must remove said blocks. This creates a complicated action if you don’t have enough experience and skills. Blocks allow you to control the game and reduce frustration.

On the other hand, blockades can be developed by doing temporary ARAM games where confrontations with different champions can be achieved. There are about 30 numbers in which confrontations can be made. However, it is important to eliminate them to gain space, points and get ahead in the confrontation.

Changes can also be made in games in ARAM where certain elements are affected. Such as rune adjustments, champion balance, damage reduction, among other aspects. That helps you improve your attack and gain more space on the map.

With the presence of battles in a single lane, it is difficult to conquer the area. For this you need the so-called “Single Inhibitor”, which allows the whole team to have enough power to defeat the opponent. But, when it is destroyed, the opposing team spawns some super minions that attack the wave; dangerous in a confrontation. Hence the importance of taking care and protecting the inhibitor.

Dominion

The Crystal Sc

The Crystal Scar

Points are controlled through spells, they restrict your movement and do not allow you to use any objects. In this case, you are completely defenseless and confrontations must be carried out by companions who must also take care of anyone immobile.

If an attack occurs, the capture will be aborted and you will have to wait a few seconds, before starting from scratch. The Crystal Scar map contains 5 control points, of which one of the most important is deciding which target should be the main target.

The idea is to try to get and send these control points, to be able to switch to another map. However, the goal is not easy, as the enemy constantly attacks and destroys the target. The key aspect is knowing and managing the neutral points.

4. Tips and tricks for playing League of Legends

Learn how to farm last-hit

Farm last-hit is a basic but also difficult to master skill of League of Legends players. Farm last-hit is true to its name, you only kill minions with the finishing blow at the lowest possible minion health. This will make the minion last longer to be able to deploy wave control techniques such as freezing minions, freezing turrets, creating split push…

Flexibility in equipping depending on the match situation

How to equip will greatly determine the strength of the champion as well as your ability to contribute to the fight. There will be special items for generals when available, which will promote the full strength of the general. But sometimes depending on the situation of the game, you can go ahead with a piece of equipment that reduces healing, a spiked armor … to be able to stay in the lane before getting the items to subdue.

Control important goals in the match

You need to destroy the tower to be able to open up that area of vision, which means the enemy will lose sight around that turret. If it is the bottom turret will open up a lot of advantages for your team when fighting in the dragon field, if it is the top lane, it is the Rift Herald / Baron field. Heralds can help you get turrets earlier, dragons and barons will help the whole team increase their stats thereby gaining more advantage in teamfights if both teams are evenly equipped.

Practice the champions you use often and learn to play new ones

Practicing your favorite champions will give you a good understanding of the champion’s quality, operation, and countermeasures if confronted. Besides playing a few champions forever, you should play new champions. Both help you avoid feeling bored of the game as well as understand more skills, how to use skills of more generals, when confronting will have more advantages.

Master the basics of the game

If you play any game, you must know the rules and how to play. Playing League of Legends is the same, there are many generals in the game, so it seems impossible for you to learn each champion. But you can play a few matches to be able to understand how they work, cooldown as well as the stats of the items. From there, you can choose the most suitable equipment for each champion.

Learn how to teamfight

In combat you need to understand your role as well as what the opponent’s generals are. If you are a gladiator, you need to be a chopper to be able to harass the enemy squad, thereby creating space for teammates to rush. If you are a gunner, your task in combat is to keep yourself in a safe position to be able to deal as much damage as possible.

Communicate with your teammates

League of Legends is a 5-player game, so communicating with each other is very important. In a match there will be many situations you see but teammates who may not be able to signal to each other. Continuous communication will help your teammates avoid unnecessary mistakes, as well as the necessary support from teammates from which the whole team goes to common victory.

Watch Streams of professional players or skilled streamers

Watch how pro players or streamers play during a match. This will give you an idea of what they’re going to do at the start, how to control minions, how to lane, how to equip, and how they engage and communicate with their teammates. Following skilled players you can learn more cool tricks that you can apply the moment you play.

Learn how to control minions to match the tempo of the game

This skill is mentioned quite a few times. Controlling the soldier position will bring a lot of benefits, which are many. But you can customize based on the situation of a match. During the laning process, you can control the minion position to mistakenly cross the turret causing the opponent to lose minions, lose equipment and then snowball. Sometimes you need to push minions into turrets quickly to be able to roam to support your teammates with big goals. But sometimes when you are in a gank situation, pushing minions will put you in danger.

Use your vision wisely

Eyes are the tool that makes the game League of Legends unique. The ward gives your team a certain amount of vision. Keeping an eye on it wisely and at the right time can detect the enemy’s intentions to move from there to come up with countermeasures and surprise. In League of Legends, the team that controls a greater amount of vision will have a huge advantage, making the enemy feel like they are being watched all the time, unable to play.


CONCLUSION

The game League of Legends, also known as LoL, has been loved by many gamers. Because when playing the game, you just train your thinking ability, good reflexes, as well as the ability to coordinate well with teammates.

To play the LoL game effectively, you need to learn from the experience of other players, as well as practice to improve your skills. At the same time, it is necessary to remember the shortcuts, shortcut combinations to control and manipulate in the game faster and more effectively.
