Introduction
Beginners in
League of Legends start quite weak as champions but eventually with experience
and items can increase their power. The objective of the game is to destroy the
nexus of the opposing team. A nexus is a structure located at the base of the
enemy lair protected by defensive structures. Although there can be a number of
game modes which may have a totally different objective. The game setting
consists of a variety of elements including folklore, steampunk and
Lovecraftian horror to name a few.
Champions
There are still 136 champions in League of Legends as of April 4, 2017. League breaks their champion forms up several methods (additionally, champions can be tailored by getting various products in-game and equipping various runes and masteries before games). The most distinctive difference is the type of injury a champion deals; some champions offer mainly physical injury, that will be resisted by the armor stat, and other champions offer mainly magic injury, that will be resisted by the magic resistance stat. Some champions, named 'hybrids ', offer a combination of both physical and mysterious injury and can possibly choose one to highlight or look for a balance between the two, which makes it harder for other champions to protect against them; and some rare abilities offer 'true' injury that will be perhaps not mitigable by possibly armor or magic resistance. Riot Games has labeled all champions as you of six forms to assist novices; each type can also be divided into two or three subclasses to differentiate.[25]Game modes
