How do you play League of Legends?

League of Legends is an online multiplayer game in the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) genre where two teams of five players battle each other on a virtual map. Each player selects a "champion," or hero, with unique abilities and skills that can help defeat the opposing team. The game involves working with teammates to defend their own base while attempting to destroy the enemy's base.

The map contains different locations and objects that can help players defeat their opponents. For example, there are turrets, which are defense structures that protect the base, and neutral monsters that can be defeated to give players advantages. By defeating enemies and collecting gold and experience points, champions can level up and gain stronger skills.

Ultimately, the goal is to destroy the enemy team's Nexus, which is a central building in their base. By working with teammates, choosing the right heroes, and using tactics and strategy, players can fight to win the match.

This means that the game is considered suitable for people aged 12 and up due to its violent and competitive content. However, it is always important for parents or guardians to assess whether the game is suitable for their children depending on their maturity level and personal values.
