A. INTRODUCTION 1. BACKGROUND: Videos games are a developing society that have their own groups that offer advantages to those are taking part in, for example, mental social, passionate and even motivational advantages. The advantages have expanded and in addition the general public. League of Legends is a free-to-play Multiplayer Online Fight Field (MOBA) game. The amusement for the most part takes around 30 to 45 minutes for every match in which ten players split into two groups and compete against each other for in-game objectives. League of Legends was first discharged by Riot Games in 2009 and is currently the most played PC online game with around 100 million players. However, its prevalence has developed past that of a computer game. The game League of Legends has become more than just a video game as it is an eSport and its popularity has surpassed that of other game titles such as Call of Duty or Counter Strike Online. They are debuted before League of Legends but have seen significantly less numbers of both players and spectators. Many people may think that playing games is wasting a lot of time but recent studies have shown that playing games can be beneficial for both physical and mental health. These advantages are not limited to young players; they are equally useful for adult gamers too. League of Legends is a game that has recently gained popularity among players from around the world. People are sorting out tournaments and competitions and some of them even have daily training sessions. Obviously, this may seem like something unhealthy and bizarre but the truth is that a lot of advantages can be found in playing League of Legends.

I hope that this report may give people a different perspective on eSports as well as gamers, especially professional gamers.

Games like League of Legends can help you with stress-free times without requiring a lot of equipment. In addition, if we do not mention the harm caused by playing video games, the benefits that League of Legends can bring to players is not small at all.

With over 30 million people watching players compete for a share of over $2m in the World Championships, it’s little wonder that many fans would love to play it for a living. (Sowersby, 2015).

In League of Legends, the player will become a “Summoner”, controls a “champion” with unique abilities and their mission is to against a group of other players or computer-controlled champions. . Basically, they have to destroy the "Nexus" of the opposing team, a structure located at the center of a facility protected by defensive turrets, although distinct play modes exist as well. Every game of League of Legends is disjointed, with all the champions starting with very weak strength, but gaining strength by accumulating items and experiences during the game and maximize their level as well as their power at level 18. At first, each player will have 450 golds, and they can get more golds from killing enemy soldiers with a finishing blow, destroying the enemy's turrets, killing monsters and killing enemy heroes, assisting your allies to kill enemy heroes and destroying them. .

With this amount of golds, players purchase equipment for their generals to make their champions become stronger throughout the match. Players also level up by defeating enemy heroes controlled by opponents, as well as by killing non-player characters called minions; by killing or helping kill enemy players; by destroying the enemy turrets. By leveling up, they will unlock special abilities of their character. Each “champion” has 4 special abilities. If a player has been slain, they will have to wait a couple of seconds to revive in their base. In traditional game mode, the map is divided into three main ways based on the movements of minions: Top Lane, Mid Lane and Bot Lane. The forest is the middle of the road, where the forest monsters; and the main area where the player appears and buys the equipment. The forest is also considered as a road (Jungle), with the jungle players going around the forest monsters to collect the treasures and support the other main roads. In the Summoner's Rift, Twisted Treeline, The Crystal Scar and Howling Abyss, the game ends when one team destroys the main house of the other team, or the other team surrenders. Other maps have different rules and targets, for example, the main house in Crystal Scar will lose blood if the opposing team controls at least three of the five pillars around the map. However, the map of The Crystal Scar was permanently closed on February 22, 2016 on the grounds that the generals in this mode are not balancing of skills and indicators and play. Moreover, hardly anyone plays this

mode - only 0.5% of the total of over 40 million players worldwide play it. (IGN,2016). ........................................

League of Legends allows players to purchase items using Riot Points (RP) and Influence Points (IPs). Riot Points must be purchased in real money, and the IP Points earned from each match of the game or rewarded from other events. The player plays a permanent role throughout the game. Player statistics and scores are kept and viewable. Players gain experience points and influence points after each match they participate in. Players gain experience points up to level 30. When leveling up, players unlock additional board points and auxiliary jigsaw pockets, increasing the strength of the general that the player chooses in the match. At the same time, the player chooses two "auxiliary" spells that have a strong influence on the game, are not energy efficient, and have a very long casting time. All of this is an internal effect, while some items can be activated. Supplementary points are divided into offensive, defensive and multi-use groups. Players can adjust the supplement board before the game takes place. ........................................

We can divide League of Legends champions into six different groups: AD carry, AP carry, Assassin, Tank, Fighter, Support. However, due to the characteristics of champions and skill sets, a champion may have one or two characteristics in the above groups, which are classified as primary and secondary. Players will rely on the characteristics and sets of skills listed above to choose the champion and coordinate with teammates. Champions are set at different prices and each champion has more optional costumes in addition to the basic costumes offered by default when the player owns the champion. League of Legends is a fast-paced and competitive online game that integrates both the speed and the depth of real-time strategy games with role-playing elements. At the same time, the League of Legends allows you to interact with players with the PvP.net system. There you will enjoy many advantages such as finding your teammates, communicating with other heroes and inviting real-life friends to play. ........................................
