Multiplayer online battle arenas, or MOBAs, are confusing. Games like League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients for PC are incredibly popular, but if you’re like me, you don’t know the first thing about them.
That’s why I enrolled in the free five-day League of Legends course at LOLGuides.com. The full Summoner School promises huge performance and ranking boosts in eight weeks — for $67. “Weeks” is a bit misleading. Members complete these courses at their own pace, and while founder Paul Patton advised us that it’s not exactly for beginners (he recommended about one month of practice first), we thought it would be fun to put a total inexperienced noob (guilty!) through the training.
TNS: "A League of Legends game mode, Arena, will return with some major changes that may breathe some life for a stagnant game."
ESTNN writes: "Hwei, LeBlanc and Ryze stand above the rest as the strongest players in the League of Legends 14.8 mid-lane due to substantial buffs in their scaling, base damage and crowd control (CC) respectively."
Do you remember the League of Legends MMORPG previously teased by Riot Games? Its development has been fully rebooted and it'll take "likely several years" before you hear any more news about it.
Noob school sounds like a good idea for people who want to try MOBAs but are a little intimidated, but $67 is a bit much.
Imagine if I could tell my young self that he could go to video game school....
