League of Legends
The definitive 5v5 MOBA.
What it is
League of Legends is Riot's flagship 5v5 multiplayer online battle arena. Two teams fight to destroy the enemy base across a lane-and-jungle map, picking from a huge roster of champions with distinct abilities. It is free to play, endlessly deep, and backed by the largest competitive scene on PC — but it only runs through the Riot Client, so it never shows up in a Steam price feed.
Why play it
- Completely free to start with a rotating roster of champions to learn on.
- The deepest team-strategy ceiling of any MOBA, rewarding years of mastery.
- A world-class esport if you enjoy watching as much as playing.
Worth knowing
The learning curve and ranked pressure are steep — ease in through normal and co-op-vs-AI games first.
How to get started
League of Legends is free to play and installs through the Riot Client — not Steam. Download the official client from the Riot Games site, create or sign in to your account, and you are ready to play. Its pricing and availability are always managed by Riot Games on the official channels.
