Awesome game. Took me way too long to try it out. Should've been playing this since launch. Nothing else can steal my play time besides the Super Monday Night Combat beta.
Steam: Neph
30 million accounts =D. This is very impressive, Now even if the player Base of Every MOBA game combines, they wont even be 1/4 of league of legends =P. Great game btw, do not listen about what people say about the community, for every 1 troll you will find 5-10 generaly nice people.
Great game! definitely better then DOTA2 , playing the beta but i always go back to LoL. Dota2 is just a copy of dota1 without any new stuffs other then graphics update which isn't ground breaking either.
The age of MOBAs are here and I expect more to come
...just wondering how many (avarage) WoW players play daily...
The funny thing is that the MOBA competitors havent realised that LOL has change MOBA like WOW change the old Everquest MMO concept.
Valve for example is building Dota 2 to have the same flaws the original dota had (denying, gold loss on death, confusing item system etc). Its the reason HON is a poor cousin compared to LOL.
The competitors need to wake up that LOL has redefined the genre and they need to follow, sticking to the old game concepts just wont get the players over. (I know , I own HON and just prefer the simplified LOl game play)
Yea I agree but then there are people who think that dota without denying/gold loss on death is for noobs. I guess dota 2 will be popular but it will be MUCH smaller than LoL.
Valve will not follow lol if they know whats good for them. Dota = E-sports title.

I would not recommend this game to my worst enemy. The playerbase is one of the worst I have ever encountered.
Especially since it installs a trojan program that constantly communicates on the net whether the game is up or not.
I could not uninstall fast enough.
Its a pretty good game.. Takes every bone in your body to ignore your team should you make a mistake, but its easily done and can make the game much more enjoyable..
I don't understand why people who feel they are soo superior to everyone will not make a full premade group who you can go into vent with and talk tactics and shit there..
They constantly click "Find my teammates for me" and then bitch and complain when they didn't get matched up with other "professional" quality players such as themselves..
I always thought the leet had like their own special ways of finding each other.. Like a secret society of something..
How many of those 30 million registered accounts played for more than a couple of hours though?
I played for around 2-3 hours and uninstalled. I still count as a registered user.
The four million players a day, though - that is not that bad of a figure.
I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?

Acording to the article 11.5mil play every month. People always try to discredit every kind of info devs show up. It was the same with WoW, will be the same with SWTOR etc.
Blizzard acknowledged that they do not actually have the number of subscribers that people were claiming they had in their footnotes in each announcement stating how many active accounts they have.
I do not play. I do count as one of those 30+ million registered users. So does everybody that registered and no longer plays. That's not trying to discredit anything. That's being honest.
Also, this would be a better link given the nature of the original post: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/community-grows-32-million-players
That would make it actually News Discussion. As it stands, the current post is actually just an advertisement.

/sigh I've been avoiding this since I don't care for real-time strategy type games. I can't multitask to save my life. I'll have to download it now. I'm gonna get lit up like a Christmas tree.
