{{quote|''"After centuries of conflict and hardship across the lands of Valoran, the Rune Wars have finally come to an end. Treaties have been signed, and the superpowers that once ravaged this land have turned to a new role. Realizing that there must be a better way to settle their differences, they created the Institute of War, a multinational governing body that would settle all disputes. Inside the Institute is the League of Legends-where powerful magic users and delegates from each of the realms vie with or against each other to rule the land."''
'''''[http://www.leagueoflegends.com/ League of Legends]''''' is a free-to-play [[Multiplayer Online Battle Arena]] game, based on ''[[Defense of the Ancients]]'', a ''[[Warcraft]] 3'' fan-mod, published as a standalone game developed by original ''DotA'' programmers.▼

Like ''DotA'', ''League of Legends'' uses a [[Real Time Strategy]] framework, but has a much narrower focus. You pick one champion, who has unique attacks and abilities, and that's it: no base, no armies, no nothing. With your champion you kill enemy [[Mook|Mooks]] and champions to earn experience points and gold, and attempt to destroy the enemy's base while preventing them from doing the same to you.▼

The [[Excuse Plot]] is that magical "summoners" do battle with each-other by summoning creatures, heroes, and champions and pitting them against each other in gladiatorial combat. Your [[Player Character]] is one of those summoners; it is persistent and gains experience with every battle, as opposed to champions who start every match at Level 1. This opens up various customization options which have a practical effect on gameplay: summoners can bring two [[Support Power|Support Powers]] into battle, and have access to "Runes" and a "Mastery" skill-tree to directly improve a champion's stats during gameplay.

** Olaf's Ragnarok.
** Poppy's Diplomatic immunity. The text states that she focuses SO INTENTLY on her target that the rest of the enemies attacks and abilities do nothing to her.
* [[Homage]]: The picture of Demacia has a ledge and a tree that makes one think of [[The Lord of the Rings|the White Tree of Gondor in Minas Tirith]] from the [[Peter Jackson]] movies.
** Ezreal's dance is the dance from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
** [[Captain Ersatz|Nasus]] [[Don't Explain the Joke|walks like an Egyptian]].
