'''''League of Legends''''' ('''''LoL'''''), commonly referred to as '''''League''''', is a 2009 [[multiplayer online battle arena]] video game developed and published by [[Riot Games]] (is fully owned by [[China]]'s [[Tencent]])<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-12-17 |title='League of Legends' is now fully owned by China's Tencent |url=https://www.engadget.com/2015-12-17-league-of-legends-fully-owned-by-tencent.html |access-date=2024-02-23 |website=Engadget |language=en-US}}</ref>. Inspired by ''[[Defense of the Ancients]]'', a [[Mod (video games)|custom map]] for [[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos|''Warcraft III'']], Riot's founders sought to develop a stand-alone game in the same genre. Since its release in October 2009, ''League'' has been [[free-to-play]] and is monetized through [[Freemium|purchasable]] character customization. The game is available for [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[macOS]].
 
In the game, two teams of five players battle in [[player-versus-player]] combat, each team occupying and defending their half of the map. Each of the ten players controls a character, known as a "champion", with unique abilities and differing styles of play. During a match, champions become more powerful by collecting [[experience point]]s, earning gold, and purchasing [[Item (game terminology)|items]] to defeat the opposing team. In ''League''{{'}}s main mode, Summoner's Rift, a team wins by pushing through to the enemy base and destroying their "Nexus", a large structure located within.
