Just trying to find peoples' reasons for playing this game as opposed to other games. What makes you play the game?

Oh as for me, I'd say Item builds and Twisted Fate. Ability to combine random items in a way that affects the way your character is played is pretty cool. Twisted Fate because I'm a fan of gambit.

I play because of the sheer scale, both inside and out. The characters are great and you get wrapped up in the story Braum Galio Annie , the gameplay is incredible , challenging yet easy to grasp , and aside from the toxics, ( Teemo ) the game has such a massive and friendly community that it's impossible to be alone. Respect for the post and play on.

Story - I'm a lore nerd myself, and I really like League's lore. RIP IoW though....
Strategy - It's...not really a strategy game anymore. But it used to be, and I hope it can--someday--be a strategy game again. Plus, I have some good memories from season 4 and 5 that I remember every once in a while. :3
Supports - Yeah, a third thing that begins with an S. There's no better feeling than timing that Janna ulti perfectly and getting your ADC a pentakill. Besides getting the pentakill.
Friends! - Sometime's it's best to just chill with a buddy in an ARAM ~~while ignoring all of the garbage in your life.~~
Hitting the E key - Seriously, it's a lot of fun to hit that one button (hint hint, the one I'm named after!) and watching all of your enemies blow their Flash....
Music - I have to say, Rito does an amazing job with their themes!

Ahri

And if Ahri was in overwatch

I would play overwatch too, but she isn't, so I'm not.

I actually got into this game because of Ahri, I was/am writing a book about the Japanese Kitsune which has relation to the Korean Kumiho, and I came across this game called "League of Legends" which had a Kumiho in it!

I played I liked Ahri Charmed me <3

I like multiplayer games and strategy games. Basically I like Mobas. Of the 3 mobas I have played (LoL, Smite, Dota2) I enjoy parts of all of them. What really brings me back to LoL though is the build diversity. In Dota there is one item that boosts ability damage. If you want to carry you have to build aa damage or be a champ who's abilities can 100-0 in which case you just build utility so you can do everything. It is kinda stupid IMO.

Smite limits items you can buy based on your god, plus the 1st person was a bit too strange for me to get into the strategy elements.

League on the other hand has great item diversity and build options. Sure it causes issues like League of Lethality but it also lets me do stuff like AP mid Janna. It also has a very interesting and relate-able cast of characters.

Furthermore League has a great community. Sure everyone complains, but personally I find that makes the nice people stand out all the more. I enjoy playing League and talking on the boards because I get to interact with a bunch of wonderful (and admittedly not so wonderful) people.
