Once upon a time the greatest video game in history, Warcraft III, was released. Included with the game was a powerful "World Editor" which allowed players create their own gametypes. These custom games provided a haven for the 30-apm ladder dropouts.
Dota, a game where players managed a single hero and no base, was the most popular and best-supported of these customs. Eventually there were a number of attempts to monetize on its popularity.
League of Legends, or LoL, was arguably the most successful of these attempts. The game was developed by dota's former developers and borrowed heavily from its predecessor. Introducing the game via a free-to-play model ensured millions of broke teenagers would download it and get hooked. Then later, when they received birthday money or just stole their mom's credit card, they could spend much more than a standard $40 game price unlocking game content that would have been free under a conventional system. To ensure the game would have universal appeal, riot removed game mechanics that punished the unskilled, such as denying. The base income was increased beyond even "easymode" levels compared to dota so that all players would have gold to spend, and item guide railroaded players into the best items.

Because everyone is different, lots of things can make other's game experience worse. Here are some things that can very often ruin your experience in this game;
#1 At start of the game, from your team of 5 players, one player Ragequits.
#2 At any moment of the game, some players leave your team due to unknown reason / disconnect / having to go while finding a replacement is impossible.
#3 No one in your team is helping each other, which causes deaths and sometimes abusive behaviour
#4 For no actual reason, you are sworn and picked at after doing what you are supposed to, when the other(s) are not and blame you for their mistake
#5 Getting noobs as your teammates, as example; Sion is defending a turret, Rammus attacks the turret after minion wave gets near it - Sion doesn't do anything but auto-attacks the minions, allowing Rammus to destroy the turret.
6# Players threaten to report and get you banned because of their jealousity / want to have fun / other reason.
