3. 1. to start the review
There's one thing I like most. Except
for working hours in the last two or
three years, what I've done the most
has to do with League of Legends.
Starting with this review, which covers
the first half of League of Legends, I
want to continue to review the
contents of LoL Park, LoL
Championship, character skins, etc.
Before that, I thought I needed to write
a first review of the game as a whole.
From the moment I first found out
about the game, I’m gonna start
writing overall about the style of play,
the things that were impressive in this
game.

4. 2. How I started this game
I had a friend who met me six years
ago while dancing tango in Argentina.
We danced together and followed
each other's Instagram. That night he
sent me this DM.
“Daji, do you play lol?”
at that time, I thought like ‘what is lol?
is it laugh out loud..?’
It was the first time I knew ‘lol’ is a
online game.

DM) dancing Tango

6. After I realized that 'lol(League of
Legends)' was a game, there was a
lot of talk about it all over the place.
A classmate who was late for
school, said he overslept while
playing ‘LoL’ all night, and another
classmate said she had a big fight
because her boyfriend couldn't
contact her for like 8 hours while he
was playing LoL.
I was so curious.
“what on earth is 'LoL' so many
people crazy about?”
and I decided to do it myself.

7. 3. How to play LoL
1.
LoL is a 5:5 game between the Blue
and Red teams
2.
each team having nine towers,
three inhibitors and a Nexus.
3.
The team that destroys the tower
and destroys the opponent's Nexus
first wins.
4.
Game time varies from time to time,
but the average is between 25 and
40 minutes.

8. square : towers / x : inhibitors / star : Nexus
There are 3 lanes as shown in the
map. There are one person in the
top, one in the mid, and two in the
bottom(ADC&Support). The other
wonder around the area of the
jungle as shown on the map, killing
neutral monsters and creating
unexpected variables(ganking) in
each lane.

9. A user's position is not always the
same. You can go to the desired
position for every game. However,
since the champions are slightly
different from each position, there is
usually a main position that you go
to often. In my case, I prefer
Support the most, and then ADC or
Mid.
The Baron Nashor and the Dragon
are large neutral monsters, and the
team that gets rid of them gets a lot
of buffs.

11. 4. Tear.
Competition and Growth,
the driving force behind
LoL
If you know about LoL, you'll
wonder about my tier. Or if you
don't know LoL at all, the first thing
you need to know about this game
is the concept of 'Tier.'

12. LoL has nine levels of tier, from Iron
to Challenger, and each of them
has a detailed tier as shown
below.At level 30, you can play a
rank game and your tier is
'deployed' after the first 10 games.
If you wins the rank game, you will
earn points and be able to raise the
tier. One of the most impressive
things about this tier system is that
there is a challenger on top of the
master.
The Challenger is a tier given to
only 200 players out of the total
number of players on a national
server, and many professional
players also belong here. I'm on
Diamond1 tier, and this is in the top
0.3%.

13. After Season9, my tier is Diamond
1.
Anyway, in the roll, the tier is the
biggest motivation for the players. If
you raise your score, 1) You can
play games with a better team, 2)
Receiving rewards in and out of the
game at the end of the season, 3)
You can enjoy competing for a
higher goal.

15. 4. Why LoL Is Loved for 10 Years
LoL marks its 10th anniversary this
year, and it is a completely different
move from other games. The
e-sports industry is growing with
LoL at the forefront, and LoL has
maintained its undisputed No. 1
position for years, unwavering
against the threat of any other
game. There are clear reasons why
LoL is loved for so long. Today's
review will briefly discuss the
reasons, and then discuss them in
depth one after another.

16. LoL is a game that catches and
reflects users' feedback and needs
the fastest. I've played several
games, but I've never seen such a
progressive improvement in the
user interface. It is felt that LoL is
actively trying to improve user
experience and design itself with a
trendy visual interface.
1. User Oriented

17. These champions have different
cultural backgrounds and stories.
The 147 champions naturally
mingle within LoL's worldview and
stimulate user interest. Also,
changing the appearance of a
champion is called 'skin', which is
almost the only paid content of
LoL. The skins are also very trendy,
and players are enthusiastic about
the skins, which are not involved in
any function in the game.
2. Culture & Trend

18. <True Damage Qiana Prestige Edition>
Recently, they also released 'True
Damage Qiana Prestige Edition'
that collaborated with Louis
Vuitton.

19. In order to gain a high position in
most other games, you must pay
for items with added capabilities or
features, or spend absolutely a lot
of time in the game. However, LoL
was completely different. They
don't make it as 'pay to win' game.
LoL didn't make it possible to
purchase any items that could
affect the game's performance or
victory by paying real money. The
same is true of time It's true that it
takes time to improve the game's
skill level, but playing games a lot
of time doesn't mean you can
improve your "tier." What matters is
your skills, strategy and teamwork. I
think this ability-oriented fair
system has helped LoL become the
longest-loved game.
3. The Real Motivation

20. LoL is not just a game. It is a
culture. It's like Nike. Just as Nike
sells sportswear but creates
lifestyle trends, LoL goes beyond a
simple game to create e-sports
culture and trends. Riot Games,
which marks its 10th anniversary
this year, heralded the launch of
various new games and the
segmentation of services. I'm
looking forward to seeing the new
games of Riot Games and what
future League of Legends will do to
the game industry. ◼
