#13 - favorite video game

A thing that interests me is my favorite video game, League of Legends. I have been playing this game for about 4 months and I have decided that it is my favorite game in this short time. The gameplay surpasses all other genres of game because it has challenge,competition, and fun. How the game works is it is a 5v5 game on one map "Summoner's rift" and you and your team choose from about 100 champions to fight the other teams champions. The map is simple there are 3 lanes that lead to eachother's bases, in the middle of the map there is a river that goes through the middle lane and ends at the top and bottom lane. Both teams have a jungle before the mid point of the lanes, the jungle has creatures in it that are generally easy to kill that give you buffs,gold, exp etc. the objective of the game is to get into your enemey's base and destroy their nexus and how you go about doing that is each lane has 2 towers on each side and 1 front base tower and 2 towers protecting the nexus, you want to destroy all of those towers leaving the nexus vulnerable, but the towers do alot of damage so the way to destroy the towers is with your minions. your minions spawn about every 30 seconds and the way to destroy the towers is pushing back the enemy minions all the way to the 1st tower so the tower hits the minions and gives you a chance to hit the tower without be hurt by it and you do that all the way to the nexus. minions also give experience and gold, so you want to kill as many as you can to get up to max lvl and have a lot of gold.  Usually one person goes middle lane, one person goes top lane, 2 people go bottom lane, and one person used the jungle to kill minions for exp and to help other lanes when they need it. When you kill an enemy champion you get 500 gold making you ahead of the other lanes and the person you killed can not get gold/exp from minions for a short time because they have to run back from their base back to the lane. Gold is used to buy items that make you stronger, so pretty much the more gold you have the stronger you will be, Sometimes you can kill so many champions to the point where you get "fed" and that is where you are extremely ahead of everyone and do insane amount of damage. The reason I like this game is because It is really challenging, fun,teambased, and all the champions are unique.
