Championship of Well Knowns!

A game I have been playing a lot of recently is a brilliant Free to play DOTA-esque game called League of Legends.

I have invested a lot of time and some money into it and have finally found the play style that suits me best.

Bearing in mind that I am still only in the beginner bracket and haven't yet gone for any more competitive games (mainly because the community is very competitive and hard to play with) I have gained a large number of different champions to play with. Each with their own unique play style and item selections.
However I have always been a bit of an oddball when it comes to item selections and have been trying out different sets than what would be the most common, most of which work quite well but still need a little bit of balancing.

One major necessity of LOL is communication, you need to know what enemies are where, letting everyone know you are leaving a lane, call for help, etc.

It is a nice skill based, strategy game that is a nice mix of fast and slow gameplay.
You need to be able to react quickly to different circumstances and be able to keep an eye out for everything that is going on.
You can also take your time for the majority of the game as you don't feel any major pressure to get anywhere or finish off any objectives.
One of the main problems with the game is that it is very time-consuming as each game can (depending on how good the team is) last up to an hour.

There is a huge debate between two communities, League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth. Both believing their own game is the best. The truth is they are exactly the same (with a few small differences) In my opinion I would rather play LOL as you have to earn the champions as you play, it gives me a reason to keep playing the game, whereas if I bought HON (getting access to all the heroes etc straight away) I would probably play for a few weeks and never touch it again...

I really enjoy this game and as it is constantly updating I feel that there is always something to play towards, being a collector I want to own all the Champions as some stage...

It is a fantastic game and as it is free is worth at least a trial. However if you would rather pay then you can buy Heroes of Newerth which is pretty much the same game.
