- There have been headers removed from this page over time. These are sources and lack of a neutral point of view. These were not discussed on the talkpage at any time, and after some time they were removed. If you have beef with the article, please bring it up here before slapping a derogative header on it.
- There was a lot of discussion on the genre, with a number of options being proposed. Riot proposed the term 'MOBA', and other players in the genre suggested DotA-based game (DBG). It came down to what genres are being listed by game review sites, such as GameSpot. They list it as an Action-RPG, so that is the current title. If there is any more genre debate please refer to the edit noted: "Cleaning out old discussions. Refer to this edit to see old material. Is this normal?", and if your question is still not answered, post here before edit warring the genre on the article.
- Referral links are not cool, period. Generally people haven't been too persistent with it, but if they do it repeatedly we can temp block them from editing the page (it's vandalism).
- We still need screenshots.
- I just changed the class to B from Stub, where it's been since the article was created. Please discuss here if you disagree.
Self Publishing in Europe
The article needs to be updated to reflect the recent move by Riot to directly publish and host the European version of the game.

Shouldn't this page make some reference to HoN? They are both pretty much the same, basic gameplay wise. 124.187.103.43 (talk) 08:52, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Importance
This game should be mid or high importance IMO in terms of VG wiki importance. It's an extremely popular game now. An example is the xfire most played list. On June 06 at 2:30am PST, the list was:
World of Warcraft 56,206
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Multiplayer 15,702
League of Legends 11,933
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 7,835
Call of Duty 2 Multiplayer 7,123
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer 5,973
Counter-Strike: Source 4,579
Allods Online 4,223
Silkroad Online 4,105
Heroes of Newerth 3,856
(note that most of those are mid or high importance articles)
Another example is that it's gamespot rating, where it is the #4 most played PC game by their metrics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.175.3.187 (talk) 09:32, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Lastly, it was one of the earliest western games that was a hardcore game AND free to play, AND did it in a way that wasn't really 'pay2pwn' (not to mention this gamble was successful) so it's very important from a business history perspective. I think the powers that be in the BG project should consider this for mid standing at least.
