Hi! I'm Mirrored, a league player whos been playing the game since Season 9 in the SEA server and a player who's reached high elo in the game, my current rank being Platinum One, my highest being Diamond One and heres my honest overall review about the game I play and have loved, to the people who may come across this review and the people who are considering playing the game, I hope this may add thoughts. As a long time player, I would like to share my experience to of course give critique but also give an insight to the people who want to play the game.
1) Gameplay and Overall Experience
A. Learning Curve
Overall, Its a nice MOBA Game, the learning curve may be steep but as you progress and learn its rewarding, most especially learning the different champions in the game, If a player takes time to learn the mechanics, a champ or various champs etc, It can be rewarding and fulfilling experience and having a good grasp of knowledge about the game gives you an advantage in playing better, climbing the ranks and overall playing good,
I've seen reviews complaining about the learning curve but for me personally I see no problem with it but I feel like Riot should implement a more flushed out tutorial for beginners most especially the people who want to start MOBA games because I can also understand the people leaving reviews complaining about the tutorial not being quite satisfactory in terms of teaching new players and I agree personally, because with Leagues high learning curve from beginning to learn the game alone is frustrating if you don't know or are clueless about different mechanics, and with the current tutorial, It doesn't teach new players much info other than Pushing a lane and what comes next? For me, a good way to solve this and to help newer players who want to earn the game is for Riot to flush out their tutorial and make it fulfilling, add more tutorials about the different roles, the objectives etc. to at least give new players an idea and a basic grasp of knowledge to the basic mechanics needed to win games and to play champions.
B. Champions
For me, I enjoy the variety and diversity in each champion in the game, Theres a champion for anybody and I'm impressed at that, If you enjoy fast paced gameplay, play assassins like Katarina or someone as basic as Fizz or Talon, Overall, theres no bad champion in the game and theres a champion that can fit a persons taste in their own style of playing. The beginner champs are easy to pick up and the intermediate skilled ones are as rewarding to learn for players.My only critique about the champions however is not the champions themselves but the way Riot makes the kits of new champions and the way the balance champions. Champions are usually abandoned then brought to attention again.
2.) Player Base
To the people who dont want to get rilled in toxicity Best stay away from the game or enable the mute function, My complaint to Riot is their Incompentence in handling Toxicity in chat and the game and their Poor Customer Service
Thats my overall review, Its not the best game, but its fine in my eyes
