Pros
Pro 3 different maps
There are three different maps that users can play on, which offers a bit of a change up of play and familiarity as well as allows for the player to not get burnt out on a singular stage played over and over again.
Pro Constant champion reworks and visual updates.
They are updating champions that have "outdated" gameplay/visuals on a regular basis. And usually they hit bull's eye, giving those champions new life and making them feel "right" to player (there are much more praises than complaints from the comunity).
Pro Largest diversity of champions with unique play styles.
Having 134 champions League of Legends is ought to offer the greatest diversity and it delivers.
Many champions have long combos that need precision in positioning and timings on par with fighting games, while others can be effective without combos at all.
Also many champions feel really unique (not necessary complicated) in play style, unseen in other MOBAs.
Pro FUN mode every weekend! New fun mode every second weekend.
There are a number of fun mode that are switched on friday evening and switched off monday evening, rotating every two weeks.
This include always highly awaited URF (Ultra Rapid Fire), AR URF (all-random URF), Nexus Siege, Hunt of the Blood Moon, Legend of the Poro King, Doom Bots of Doom, Hexakill, Ascension etc.
Pro The most popular MOBA by a huge margin
More than 27 million players log in each day to play the game and more than 67 million players log in to play each month. It has peaked at 7.5 million concurrent players.
Pro One of the world's biggest e-sports titles
League of Legends is one of the worlds top e-sport titles placing fifth in highest prize pools.
Cons
Con Takes a long time just to learn the game
If you want to get in the game as a new player, you'll have to play for at least a year, or put in hours and hours of studying just to be able to keep up with what characters do what, and what items to get for which character in any given situation. If you take a few months off from the game and return, you will probably have to relearn the whole game again. Almost every Champion is different, not just in stats, but in mechanics and gameplay altogether, from their original launch. The item shop is changing quite frequently, making you have to relearn it every so many months.
Con Long games (average 30-35 min) and leaver penalties.
Long games aren't bad per se but when paired with leaver penalties (not just for ranked games but also normal games) it means once you start a game you are practically locked to your computer for a good amount of time.
Con Unbalanced
This game been getting more and more punishing for newer players. You have play a certain meta or you'll just lose the majority of your games.
Con Characters are unbalanced
There are heroes that are OP, and others that are completely unplayable.
Con Balanced around pros and not the average player
Riot keeps balancing the game around the professional players, disregarding the majority of the players, making the game unbalanced until you reach top 0,1%
Con Only 14 heroes are free each week
There is a rotation of 14 heroes that are available each week for free. To unlock the rest they can be purchased for ingame currenency.
Con Buggy engine
With every new patch, a wave of game breaking bugs are created yet the developers still refuse to update the game engine. Some bugs result in characters being removed from the game for up to a week.
Con The community is not very friendly
The community can be quite hostile even without any obvious reason.
Con Not complex enough
Very static game. You get pushed into a pattern you have to play, can't make your own decisions.
Con Player Support is useless
They can't speak English and they can never help you out. No exceptions, and no exaggerations here.
Con They want you to spend money
You will just buy RP and your accounts gonna be banned for calling someone a degenerate. Hard-worked money is gone. No refunds, exchanges, or skin transfers.
Con The community is very toxic
Your teammates will most likely be hostile towards you for every mistake.
Con It's boring
It's repetitive, always the same, not challenging, gets boring very fast. You can feel that the game is made to get money in for Riot and not to make you happy or excited.
Con Champions cost money
While in Dota 2 every hero is for free and you can catch up which characters you like, you have to buy them in LoL and spend a lot of time and hopefully (what they want you to do) spend real money.
Con Too many champions
141 champions are too much and too expensive, when you want to buy a better champ you need to play constantly for 1 or even 3 weeks to get that big amount of gold that is required.
Con Not fair
Every match you will find someone who will give kills to enemy and you will loose almost every match because of that person, and then you will unninstall the game.
