League of Legends is an action RTS game, inspired by the popular Defense of the Ancients ( 
Dota 2 ) map that was made for 
Warcraft III : The Frozen Throne.
Players are formed into 2 even teams of champions in either a 3v3 or 5v5 match. Each player can pick a champion from a wide selection (with over 100 different champions to choose from). The game starts with each team starting at either end of the map at their respective "fountain". A match is won when either the opposing team's Nexus is destroyed or the other team surrenders. To achieve this, each team must progress through each lane to take out towers (called "turrets") to make their way to their nexus to destroy it - which in turn gives them experience and gold to make their champion stronger.
The best way to understand this type of game play is to actually play it and see it for yourself. It really is a fun game.
League of Legends is officially available on Windows and Mac.
It can be installed on Linux using
Wine or 
PlayOnLinux.

Hmm, this is interesting... since I don't see any mention of Linux anywhere on the website (nor is there a download for such). I understand that you can run League of Legend via Wine - however I have been unable to do this myself, but I'm sure others have.
I guess my real question is, should this be edited, since League of Legends isn't Linux (native) supported? Just wondering, since I'm not sure as to what the full guidelines are for listings.
Our general policy is to only add the WINE tag to applications that has official support for WINE stated bu the author of the app.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for your reply :). I'll go ahead and edit this, since League of Legends isn't officially supported.

There is no Linux Client for this game (yet). It may change in the near future.
League of Legends can be installed on Linux using Wine or PlayOnLinux.

Just another cash squeeze utilizing psychological means of getting you addicted by using mechanics straight from the casino, but hey parents don't worry your children are playing just a video game. Not to mention that it's a pure rip-off of Warcraft 3 DotA. It's sad that it even became a thing
