I just discovered this "League of Legends" game

... is what I could say if I hadn't actually put a pre-order in for the game before it was announced as F2P and put some nominal time into the beta. I did those things, though, so I guess I'm just guilty of letting the usual parade of games bury me and forgetting about the little Free to Play MOBA. 
 
Or if I'm being completely honest I would also admit that I was pretty intimidated by the (so far undeserved) reputation that the game inherited from its surlier, bigger brother Defense of the Ancients. Players that I've been matched against in Solo Queue  have either been completely helpful and tolerant of me noobing it up or at the very least just as clueless as myself, and I haven't managed to trip over any unreasonable ragenauts yet. A sore winner or two, sure, but nothing actually offensive. 
 
I'm absolutely in love with League of Legends. I'm not sure I've played a multiplayer game that has ever clicked quite so hard with me as this one, with the possible exception of Team Fortress 2. Sure, it's still the honeymoon period so I may find some awful balance issues that turn me off, but at this point LoL seems like a game I could spend a very long time with. It has variety, a very solid map/playfield, an enjoyable pace of game and most importantly an interesting metagame that seems to be constantly in flux. This is one of those increasingly more frequent products that are beginning to make a Free to Play believer out of me. Great job, Riot! 
 
Incidentally, the game that re-piqued my LoL curiosity was Monday Night Combat on Steam, a very good game in its own right, but a somewhat simplified variation on the formula (and with what I consider to be a small handful of balance issues).
