League of Legends

Didn't see a topic about it, so I figured what the hell.
What's League of Legends? If you've ever heard of Defense of the Ancients, that's pretty much the easiest way to describe LoL. It's free to play with a cash shop, although all the cash only items are skins and purely cosmetic or EXP and IP (the ingame currency) boosts. All heroes and stat boosting items (runes) can be ulnocked with IP, so you can play the game fully without paying a cent.
I never got into DotA but I was able to pick this up and play it fairly easily. It's a little simpler than the old WC3 map or Heroes of Newerth, which tries to recreate DotA pretty much to a T, but there's still a fair amount of complexity to the game.
Anyways, http://www.leagueoflegends.com to sign up, yadda yadda. They have a refer a friend program but I won't bother. If you do play, feel free to add my ingame name, Beatrice, and I'll be happy to join if you're on.
I'd recommend reading some beginner's guides if you've never played any kind of DotA/AoS/MOBA type game before, and you can look up guides for specific characters for things like item builds, but they're not typically something that should be relied on.
