League of Legends hits 32 million players photo

Riot Games announced that League of Legends, their free-to-play Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, has hit the 32.5 million player mark. With this, comes a wide selection of cumulative statistics relating to the game that they have apparently been keeping track of.

Of course, there are the usual batch of statistics, like number of hours played, and number of kills gained. Riot also detailed statistics related to aspects of League outside the game as well, such as with their Summoner Showcase submission amounts and YouTube channel stats. My favorite have to be some of the oddball statistics related to the game itself, such as how many times a specific powerful item has been bought, or how many times a certain super annoying mushroom planting champion has been killed!

It's interesting to see the success of the game over the span of two years, and makes one wonder how the effect of the upcoming Dota 2 and Blizzard Dota would have on it, if any. For now, though, you can check out these stats and League of Legends itself on the official website

It's a good game - I still play ranked from time to time.

lol, I guarantee you 10 million of those accounts are "smurf" accounts, made by already max rank players, to start over/troll/feel powerful against noobs. Personally I've created over 10 accounts (you get a free 6300 IP character for ten player "referrals"), and I know many others who have done the exact same thing. Thankfully I stopped playing long ago since this game singlehandedly made me hate MOBA-style games.

Love me some Leaguery. Refreshing to play a game where you can go either casual or hardcore and not feel like you're in the wrong place. That, and to play an MOBA that doesn't encourage you to actively ruin your opponent's fun.

My favourite part is the 'pro players' section. Where I can without a doubt presume the people attached to the listed aliases get laid less than I do, comforting if/and nothing else.

1,389 Teemo deaths per minute is actually a pretty interesting stat. I kind of wish they would give us all the stats like that.

Shushei, upon being asked what he was going to spend his $10,000 prize money on: "A suit of armour and a guitar."

Guy's getting mad laid.
