Pros
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 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They are updating champions that have "outdated" gameplay/visuals on a regular basis.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 Patches every 2 weeks + annual overhauls keeps the game fresh for years on end
Every other week a new patch is released that usually changes the meta which in turn changes how the game is played. Periodically new champions are added, new items are added, items are removed, game elements are changed. Also at the end of every years the games starts its new season and a season patch is released which is like a normal patch but it changes way more things and the changes are more drastic too. To put it simply someone who plays this game after taking a long break will barely recognize the game at all, in terms of gameplay.
Pro The biggest online video game
League of Legends is one of the worlds top e-sport titles placing fifth in highest prize pools.

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 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.
Cons
Con Not a very friendly/welcoming community
The community can be quite hostile even without any obvious reason.
Con Hard to move up in rank
Very hard to move up, and when you do, you will get punished with a very very bad team the next 3 games or so (ranking system is made like that).
In the lower ranks, you can't advance with team play, so you have to play specific champions that can carry a game 2v5 or 3v5.
Con The community is very toxic
Your teammates will most likely be hostile towards you for every mistake.
Con Unbalanced
Currently (Season 11) the game is not balanced at all anymore. Personal skill now values less than champion pick and build.
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 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 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 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.
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 Not complex enough
Very static game. You get pushed into a pattern you have to play, can't make your own decisions.

They release a new champion every 3 months which requires a series of patches every week for a year to balance properly. Too frequently changed.
Con Characters are unbalanced
There are heroes that are OP, and others that are completely unplayable.
