So I just started installing LoL again, and I noticed that it needed me to install something called the Pando Media Booster (PMB) in order to continue my installation. I was a bit skeptical, but since I really want to play the game again, I accepted it. I did some googling around and found this article:

"Is Pando.exe Bad?

Pando.exe isn’t inherently bad and is a valid way for a company offering free or discounted software or media to save some money in operating costs. “Isn’t inherently bad” is assuming that the company that installs this process on your machine has told you what it is and has given you the option of whether you want to install it or not. In my case, I had NO idea it was being installed and was just lucky to have found it the same day. (I’ve recently had to switch to Qwest “High Speed” internet and unfortunately have NO bandwidth to spare.)

Remove it as soon as it's done installing. Infiltrating Malware on our PCs now... Well played, Riot, well played.

It's not necessary, and they didn't ask us if we want it installed or not? Oof. Too bad more people won't notice it's presence.

The only way the LoL client will use Pando to seed patches, etc to/from other users is if you opt in. Otherwise, it will download from Riot directly. When you load it up and it checks for new versions, there is the "options" button. If you click it, you have the option of checking a box allowing peer to peer transferring. It is unchecked by default.

This just in: Riot sucks. One of the reasons I stopped playing this game in the first place was how incompetent Riot seemed. How's that new map they are "hard at work on."

Vindictus also used it. Thanks for the heads up, deleting now.

Where's all the money you were going to pay for that new map? Oh, it's a free-to-play game but you want them to spend countless hours and resources on a feature you expect to get for free? STFU. "

" @GlenTennis:  Can't you basically amass points just by playing, in addition to the microtransactions? I haven't spent that much time on it yet. "

Yes, yes you can. Unless you feel forced to buy the skins, there is no reason to spend real cash on the game. You just need the patience to get the in-game points, and getting to level 30 is going to earn you enough to buy most champions you're interested in anyway. 
 
The microtransactions are basically a scam and I'm surprised Riot hasn't been sued yet since Microsoft had legal problems for the exact same reason. You can read more here if you're interested. "

"@Aus_azn: Actually, the last digit does not determine if the number is divisible by 3. "
