Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA):

“League of Legends”

Developer: Riot Games

The most played video game in the world is “League of Legends,” a competitive game based on teamwork and mechanics.

Both teams battle each other and the environment’s minions and towers to get stronger and to destroy their enemy’s base.

Gamers can play through casual games or competitive ranked games. Then players can save up influence points from matches to unlock more champions. Careful strategy and teamwork are the best ways to survive the Fields of Justice in “League of Legends.”
