League of Legends (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55154)
Riot Games today announced League of Legends, a PC game based on the popular Warcraft 3 multiplayer mod Defense of the Ancients.
Riot was co-founded by original DotA Allstars co-creator Guinsoo, and the team reportedly includes other DotA veterans. As such, League of Legends is staying true to the DotA formula, where players level up a single avatar amongst a giant battle of smaller armies. Dozens of Summoners--the player-controlled avatars--are planned to be available at launch.
A semi-persistent element will be see the Summoners leveling up across matches. The game will also include matchmaking, stat tracking, clan support, anti-cheat systems, dedicated in-game ladders and Leaverbuster technology."
League of Legends is planned to hit in early 2009, with a beta period prior to launch. Just in time to compete against Demigod.
Pretty interesting. Shacknews has screens and a video and it looks like they stuck with a similar art style to the mod, as opposed to Demigod which looks totally different.

Interesting. Looks like the stuck a little too closely to the art style, if you ask me, but hey... to each his own. Could be something to keep an eye on, regardless.

I literally just started playing this game yesterday and its the best free game I've ever played, does anyone still play?

I wanted to but have yet to get it all downloaded and I figure it'd be unplayably laggy for me anyway so I gave up.

I tried it, but couldn't get into it.
