IncGamers League of Legends: Clash of Fates Review

IncGamer's Gunnar Petzall has spent some time in the League, summoning champions and killing wildly in a cute fantasy setting:

League of Legends is fun to play. Simple as that. I would even call it addictive and I have spent enough time playing it to justify that comment! Yet, this is one game I have had great difficulty to grade and review...

[Leord]

5.9? Ouch!

[Cogo]

Dude, if you've played a buggy enough game, you'd know what he means.

[Leord]

Well, I haven;t had a single bug myself in LoL, but I do agree on the comments on the interface, and I could go insane over the fact the client doesn't save the password or even username...

[Cogo]

I wouldn't know, but I do know an otherwise great game with loads of bugs is still feeling nigh unplayable. Look at old Hellgate: London :P

[mephman]

Seems like a very harsh score. I've been playing it loads since it came out and haven't encountered any bugs at all.

[Leord]

It's weird how it differs so much. I heave heard both "lots of bug" and "no bugs" from friends...

Edit:

OTOH, 5.9 is above average (5)

[SCFreelancer]

There seem to be a lot of Dota style games being released lately?

[Leord]

Only this and HoN, as far as I know. HoN is likely 2010 I think, it's in beta now.

[Cogo]

Well, there's like millions of DotA players, I think they can share the spoils between them! :)

[Cheeseknight28]

Demigod as well. I haven't played Demigod, but between the other 3 (LoL, HoN, and DotA), Newerth seems to be the winner for me. I can't play DotA anymore because of the numerous enhancements Newerth brings to the table, and LoL I always had a community problem with. It seemed like every game I played (Roughly 10 before I moved on) there was a feeder or trash talker. I barely ever have that issue in Newerth.

[Fyzzu]

Sucks about the multiplayer client. That's kind of a problem in a multiplayer-focused game, sadly.

[Maticus]

That's a shame, I know a lot of people who were looking forward to this game. I guess it's HoN all the way then?

[Leord]

Well, I have played both of them, and HoN has its flaws as well...

[Dorjan]

HoN is in closed beta, don't forget that!

[DJDarkstar]

Sounds...... Interesting lol. I have heard mixed reviews about this game, especially on bugs. It seems to me perhaps it does not agree with certain hardware configs?

[Dorjan]

The game sounds nice but their PvP thing sounds worm's like (remember worms, they had that sort of external matchmaking thing)

[UIOP]

Good Article,
the games most promising feature is however that it is free. The interface is quite awful to interact with and HoN looks more promising :/
