League Reflection

Reading Level 2: Numeric Relationships, open my eyes to different components of gaming. This week I played League of Legends for the first with my friends. I would have done it sooner but I wasn't sure about PC gaming. The only games I usually play on the computer was chess or solitaire. I played the games that are considered to be graphically enhanced on the home consoles. I guess when I was little I did not consider that a PC could be use to play graphically enhance games. It could also be the way you play games on the PC compared to a home console. On a computer, you have your hotkeys and a mouse to interact with a video game. On a home console, you have a controller that fits in your hands perfectly and you can reach the buttons at ease. It's pretty much your mouse and hotkeys located closer together.

The first time I played League of Legends, I had to complete the tutorial. I do not like completing tutorials. I feel that tutorials are a waste of time. If you really want to play a game, you must read the manual or watch a short video of using the basic control of the game.

While playing League of Legends, I had to make sure my HP and MP meter did not run out. If it did I would need to use some spell to heal me or use "Recall" so I can be sent back to base. Playing with my friends was way better than the tutorial. I was able to communicate with them and come up with a strategy to attack the opposing team. We won the battle. It was a great experience for me. I am considering to play pc games more often than my console now.
