League of Legends
Definition
League of Legends (commonly abbreviated as LoL) is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed and published by Riot Games, released in 2009, where two teams of five players compete to destroy the opponent's base while advancing across a map.
Informally, it refers to the highly competitive esports scene surrounding the game, featuring professional leagues like the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) and Worlds tournament.
In gaming slang, it evokes the chaotic mix of strategy, trash-talking, and questionable life choices that define summoner's rift enthusiasts.
