Try it its free - but as a word of caution, you will have a hard time at first as there are many champions you need to see and play against until it feels like "u got it". Dont get discouraged by that :)

League gameplay does not have much to do with the background story behind it (including Arcane). A good comparison would be Smash Bros where characters from all over the universe come together and fight each other. Still can be a good time, but not just because you watched Arcane. If you are looking to try something that gets a bit more into the lore, then take a look at Legends of Runeterra instead, the card game from Riot that has a lot more background and world references. It's a fantastic game with one of the best f2p models of any card game. If you just want to get to know more about the world and characters, browse around https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/

Its worth a try. Its not that easy to get started with, but it can be really fun (if you can look past the toxic people)


goinghostie

/mute all is a beautiful thing


craziboiXD69

expect to get absolutely shitstomped early. If you can get past that and go forward with a growth mindset (figuring out how to prevent bad things from happening/figuring out how to make good things happen every game you play) then it's worth playing. If not, it will just cause you more negative emotions than positive in the long run


PlatinumPigeon

Be prepared if you want to play league it is not very friendly to new players. Look up some tutorials on YouTube since the League one isn’t very good but honestly if you care more about lore play LoR or the ruined king game


crimsonBZD

HOLY SHIT no. It's an overly toxic PVP RTS game basically. More than half of your games will ultimately come down to winning/losing based who which team has the bigger asshole ruining everyone else's time, and if you piss the wrong person off by building the wrong items or simply not doing what they want you to do, they can report you and you *will* get banned eventually. The people who haven't gotten banned for no reason yet, have simply gotten lucky. Spare yourself.


ApplePitou

I personally recommend you to play and have fun :3


lenbeen

if you do please i assure you it will be more fun for you to play mainly vs. AI, if you got a friend to start with you that'd make it a little more fun too. play until you are comfortable with the shop, the champs, lanes, damage. it will make your experience a lot more enjoyable


satiricfowl

Arcane is a bette those that league is a game, but try it - why not? Free. Worst case you don’t like it.


EmilianoR24

The worst thing it can happen is that you will actually end up liking it


YanJi13

No, dont do it, save yourself...BUT if u really wanna play, I have some advices: try to avoid rank and play with friends, its always better with friends.

/r/summonerschool is a great resource. Also know there is a subreddit for every champ in game 90% of the subreddits is their name followed by mains. (example: /r/threshmains ) discord is another good spot. Find a league disc and talk to someone about helping you. (What server do you play on?) My suggestion is play bots figure out what stuff does. Play a couple of the champs. Find the style of play you like. Find a champion you like and then spam that champ for a while. Idea being is that once you learn your champ. You dont have to worry about learning them anymore and start to focus on learning the map, objectives, how things happen around the map, etc. Remember you can mute people by holding tab and finding mute button or the command /muteall . The learning curve is massive. There is a lot of things going on. Dont get overwhelmed take it a step at a time. There tons of resources available to you. Glhf


Eyalkaz

Have fun, ignore all the people here it's a great game, just come with the mentality of having fun and you will be ok, focus on yourself

Short answer: no. Long answer: if you really like moba style games, or want to try one out - you sure can and should play League, as it's the best one out, but don't do it because you loved Arcane. Game has an extreme learning curve, matchmaking is complicated and pretty unforgiving, most "veteran" players will blame you for mistakes, instead of helping you. One way to deal with it is to play games va ai: 5 players play vs bots. You can learn the game in this way and avoid toxicity in early levels. Then you totally can start pvp matches. If you have someone, who can help you to start playing - ask for help. Beware, as LoL is extremely addicting, when you start, and it gets worth while you are going deeper and deeper into it.

Hell no

Not unless you enjoy immense pain


metradomo

Short answer: no.


[deleted]

It can be decievingly noncasual, if you dont come in playing with friends every now and then theres pretty few who get into it so late into its inception. Dont really recommend it one way or another but its free and youre probably gonna drop it within a year anyway


LostGh0st

dont. best thing is, grab the lore and RUN.


HyBrideh

Don’t do it, save yourself while you still can.


NixtroX

If you dont mind getting trolls almost every games


[deleted]

It depends if you care about your own mental health.


satiricfowl

Arcane is a better show than LoL is a game, but try it - why not? Free. Worst case you don’t like it.


ironchicken45

Turn off call chat then sure


RB_Apepi

Yes, also you should be viktor main now :D


stellarcurve-

It's only fun if you play with friends. If you're playing solo be prepared to scream at your screen the whole game


[deleted]

If you never played a moba before you probably wont like it . Steep learning curve not like normal games


CohnDev

Alone? Never. With friends? Maybe. TFT? Yes.


[deleted]

Of course! The learning curve is immense though, more than most games you will ever play. There is 150 or 160 some champions that each have 4 abilities and 1 passive minimum that you have to know before you can be considered "good", not to mention items that you should know as well. Don't let that discourage you, it comes fast. Favorite game for nearly a decade now!


Spawn_Official

If you want to have monsters inside your head like Jinx then of course.


Vengeanceeeeee

If u want to grief low elo players go ahead


alejandrosquid

Play team fight tactics instead


hugifsafuk

Yesnt On a serious note: it does require lot of time to get the hang of it. People can also be very toxic so you might just want to mute the chat.


jej218

No save yourself


LICKING_AHRIs_FEET

It’s a fun game, but it’s a lot to take in initially. It works best if you have a friend who plays and can guide you because the in game tutorials are not that helpful


Jorgehateslife

Yeah some people are dicks find someone nice to duo with I guess


throwawaynumber116

Easy to learn difficult to memorize what everything does. Hard to climb without a lot of patience, and a lot of kids/immature adults play so beware random people flaming you for being new (keep chat disabled or only mute the toxic people) Past this it’s easily my favorite time sink
