Didn't they get into a semi fight with Blizzard over the rights? I assume Blizzard backed down.

All I know is that there are some people who, just like WoW players, live in their basement and play nothing but League for half of their day. O_o


Think the game originally came from a user made mod on Warcraft 3.  Blizzard tried to claim it was theirs but I believe they didn't win or didn't have a case.  I could probably research it for a few minutes and find out everything but I'll just wait till someone else that knows more about it.

I thought that was Dota or something?


Oh lol... I believe you are right...  Confusing my games up here.  Now I must know what the hell LoL is all about.

Wait a second here.. I was right! 

League of Legends (LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows,[3] inspired by the popular Defense of the Ancients[4] map for Warcraft III.

With it being so popular I can see why Blizzard would try to get in on the action.
