An extremely popular game that now has more players than World of Warcraft.
Although it is free, so perhaps that's not as big an accomplishment as it sounds, but free or not, many people pay money to get skins for their favorite characters. Anything you buy with real money besides skins, you can get with the in game currency as well, so there is no disadvantage on people who don't pay.
The genre is hard to explain, but is a somewhat rare one, known as a MOBA. This means Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. The goal of the game is to fight your way into the opponent's base and destroy their "Nexus". I put it quite simply, but the average game takes around 40 minutes, and has quite a bit to it.
This game has an extremely huge learning curve of anywhere from 2-10 hours for most people, sometimes more. In order to become good at the game, it takes several weeks, although it is more casually oriented.
For those not interested in casual play, this game was featured at Dreamhack with a $100,000 USD prize pool in June 2011, where several teams fought in competition for the prize.
It is a very fun game, but not something many people can just pick up.

A game were its always your teammate's fault for losing. The only reason you're stuck in Bronze V is because of lag, don't worry, you will easily reach challenger if it wasn't for your teammates. You are godlike at positioning, mechanics, and everything there is to know about the game, but its not your fault teammates don't listen to your shotcalls. After a game with a ragequitter/intentional feeder, the Riot report system would ban you instead.

League of Legends is ass
by Tiger_sock April 13, 2018
League of Legends is a MMORPG inspired by a map called "Defense of the Ancients" for Warcraft: The Frozen Throne and is aimed at players aged 13 or older. The game is developed and published by Riot Games for MicrosoftWindows.
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.

A great game currently ran by greedy Chinese Overlords bent on squeezing money out of their customers via the micro-transaction model, locked-at-high champion and rune IP/RP prices, reduced IP income, themed skins aka: Legendary skins with actual effort put into them while adding some copy/pasta pic of splash art into the skin owner's profile; meanwhile, Riot's feigns having "worked sooo hard on those skins" etc.. This community's highly toxic and volatile, and filled to the brim both in-game and on the forums with trolls.
The Tribunal is some automated system ran by the very source of the problem aka: the community. The community already knows it's automated. Riot's employees troll their own members of the League forums in stealth aka: normal accounts, especially those negatively impacted by the Tribunal. The developers are going the way of EA and Blizzard, not giving a shit about their community while carrying out their game/forum-changing decisions forcefully knowing full well the players can't do shit about it. They use their player's addictions against them in every way possible.
This game's turned into a cesspool of negativity, and the forums are now the 4chan of MOBA gaming. Riot continues stifling dissent via trolling in stealth, down-votes, and in worst-case scenarios, permanent forum and/or in-game bans. The forum moderators especially particular reds also issue IP bans if you rub them the wrong way too many times.

<player> I've been banned from League of Legends.
<stealthed red #1> good riddance.
<stealthed red #2> you won't be missed.
<stealthed red #3> see you next week you addict.
<stealthed red #4> PULSEFIRE EZREAL wHERE aka: overused/spammed-by-stealthed-reds indirect promo-meme to rake in skin sales
etc..
<Pendragon> I ban you nao. I'm holier than thou because I'm the red running the ambiguous/automated Tribunal that can never be questioned, especially while my stealthed red stay trolling you and fling poo at you on the forums while they all down-vote you into oblivion. I simply pull up a history of your losses where you vented your anger, and then use it all against you to permaban your account and potentially get you to stupidly re-spend your money on some new account. My reds and I will also stifle your dissent while ignoring your pleas because we run the show. So if you don't like it, uninstall. See you tomorrow.
