Why do you think League of Legends has become so popular?

I don't know, maybe the teamwork and the heroes are cool. To be honest I played the game for 2 or 3 years, and I can't tell you know why it got my interest. Probably the constant struggle to get better at farming and all, and then team fights. I quit it though, because of the community. The game itself maybe is fine but the community is awful and I didn't want to be a part of it anymore.

 

Well the hype is just what we see, it got hyped because of the sponsors. If the game won't be hyped, chances are sponsors would pull out which would mean fewer to none of the tournaments, until the fan base dies. Actually, a lot of people hate the community but when it comes to events like big tournaments, even these haters come and watch what happens in the tournaments.

 

I can totally understand the appeal. Yes the League of Legends game is a little overrated, but it's still a great game with a lot of loyal fans.

 

I was the same when I first started playing the game. But now, I just talk about it to people who also play the game. I don't want to be a nuisance to anyone LOL!

 

First we all know the game is quite interesting and looks cool. I do think the hype may just be a multiplying effect arising from positive reviews and views about from subscribers and others. The sponsors may also be working behind the scene to hype their production.

 

Well it wouldn't be successful unless it made a lot of noise. I mean, it all started with a lot of hype. A few tried the game until the network of players became quite large, then riot might have made good advertising until the game became big like what we see now. A lot of good games aren't being played and given a lot of hype, while a ton of bad games are out there being played by a lot of people just because they spent a ton of money on advertisements.

 

For the game to make huge success there has to be plans to publicize it. This could be by adverts and good reviews from persons that have played the game. It gained the huge popularity because it must have meant the idea of many about a good game.

 

The fact is when there is so much talk or noise about a game most of the time, as seen in League of Legends, it's as a result of the good works done on it. Many persons become curios and would go for the game simply because of much awareness.

 

Just like anything else that becomes popular so to say I think that it just did a good job of capturing the attention of the players. I know that visually I enjoyed it a lot, and that lead to more playing for me.

 

That's another point a game need be very visual to appeal more to the sense of players and viewers. The characters should be gorgeous. What attracted me first to many of the games I'm used to their visual power and presentation of the characters.

 

Pause the comments a minute! You guys think the game might be overrated? No. This game is Lit! Try cosplay Victor -he's just a robotic god. Maybe the many female cosplay characters in LoL is the reason you guys are backing-off..maybe! I can't find a good reason not to give LoL the credits

 

Well I do love playing the game and kinda hate the community. About not being a good game, well I think there are some games that other people like, and if you were saying it isn't good enough with what publicity it has then I would have to agree. It's just like any other game that has been hyped and now gone. Maybe LOL is just hyped now but once there is a new game that is kind of similar to LOL and DoTA that has real potential, it might also have the same publicity these two games have.
