League of Legends: Game introduction PV - YouTube


The League of Legend (LoL) game is basically done on a map called "Summoner's Lift". For LoL, the Summoner's Lift is like a shogi board in Shogi.


The lower left is the headquarters of the blue team and the upper right is the home of the red team. LoL is a team fight of five to five, progressing in real time, not a turn-based system.


The only victory condition of the game is to "destroy the nexus in front of the partner's headquarters." The one surrounded by the red circle of the image is Nexus. The image is that the blue team is attacking the red team's nexus and it is likely to win.


Players will manipulate characters called champions. There are more than 130 champions in all, but roughly it can be classified into several classes.


A class called "Marksman" which is a long-range attacker ... ...


"Fighter" strong against fighters at short distance


There are also "mages" that are good at magical attacks. The image is a scene where the champion Lucks has defeated the enemy with skill "Final Spark".


There are many other types of champions. The champion "Lee Shin" of the image features the high mobility.


Every game starts at level 1 at the beginning, but will continue to level up during the battle.


You can raise your skill level as the level rises. Each skill has three normal skills corresponding to "Q" "W" "E" which are the keys of the keyboard, and Ultimate skill of "R". It is important which skill to raise at which timing.


Ultimate skill is a skill that you can learn when you reach Level 6, but once it is used it takes time to be reused, but its effect is very strong.


There are three passageways called "lanes" on the map.


There are several "towers" in each lane. The tower is an encouraging existence that automatically intercepts enemies approaching. The blue team's tower is blue ......


Red team's tower is red.


Care should be taken when approaching the tower carelessly because it receives a strong attack and dies immediately.


If you bring it closer together with "Minion", the tower first attacks from the minion, so it does not suffer damage and is safe. "Minion" is produced automatically, is a small soldier who attacks each lane arbitrarily.


It is a tower that attacks Minion while there is a minion ... ...


I will switch the target to the champion once the minion is gone. If you concentrate too much on attacking the tower and it means "There is no minion on the beach before" it will suffer heavy damage.


Also, even if you have a minion, the tower will attack here if you damage the enemy champion near the tower. It is better to avoid fighting near enemy towers.


If you stop at your minion and attack yourself, you will receive gold. It is very important to "get the last blow yourself" in this game. If an enemy minion dies with an ally minion attack, you will not receive gold.


You can purchase items at the headquarters as you save the gold.


We will purchase items that enhance multiple attacks and items that enhance unit attacks according to the situation. Since it is difficult to grasp all what items are in the beginning, "Recommended"External siteIt is recommended that you buy what you see in the "popular items" that comes with selecting the champion you are using at.


There is also a part called "jungle" on the map. It is a darkened part between the lane and the lane.


"Neutral monster" lives in the jungle. In the case of Minion, there was a distinction between enemies and ally, but neutral monsters can hunt like being "neutral".


In addition to just a neutral monster, there are monsters called "epic monsters". You can have a powerful buff (support effect) that will strengthen your ally if you defeat these monsters. Of course, "Last blow" is also important here. Even if the enemy is cutting 99% of the physical strength of Epic Monster, you can buff if you can put even the last blow.


Even if I die in the middle of the game ......


You can recover by waiting a few seconds. Although there is no death penalty in particular, gold comes in to the enemies who have defeated themselves, so they will nurture enemies. It is best not to die if possible.


The time to resurrection becomes longer as the level rises. The standby time which was several seconds in Level 1 is the level 11 case like the image ......


We can not resurrect unless we wait more than 30 seconds. Because the waiting time becomes long, one death will directly lead to defeat at the end of the game.


I can not give any impact to the game until the resurrection. If you successfully defeat an enemy champion, while an enemy champion is waiting for the resurrection, let's destroy the tower and boost the fight line.


When you summarize the flow of one game, it will be "After attacking the nexus" after defeating the enemy ", defeat the skill and purchase items" by defeating the minion and raising the level.


The pro scene is showing excitement as "e-Sports". Since September 23, 2017 the world convention has been held for about two months,Game series video distribution site twitchBecause Japanese broadcasting is also done at the beginning, it is the perfect time to start the LoL starting from the tournament watching.


So, next time I actually try AI match for beginners.
