League of Legends (LoL), commonly referred to as League, is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games. Inspired by Defense of the Ancients, a custom map for Warcraft III, Riot's founders sought to develop a stand-alone game in the same genre.
League of Legends is a game in the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) genre. Two teams, consisting of five players each, compete against each other to be the first team to destroy the opposing team's Nexus. In their way stand not only the opposing team's 5 players, but also a number of computer (AI)-controlled units, called minions.
