{{quote| ''"After centuries of conflict and hardship across the lands of Valoran, the Rune Wars have finally come to an end. Treaties have been signed, and the superpowers that once ravaged this land have turned to a new role. Realizing that there must be a better way to settle their differences, they created the Institute of War, a multinational governing body that would settle all disputes. Inside the Institute is the League of Legends-where powerful magic users and delegates from each of the realms vie with or against each other to rule the land."''}}

''[http://www.leagueoflegends.com/ League of Legends]'' is a free-to-play [[Multiplayer Online Battle Arena]] game, based on [[Defense of the Ancients]], a [[Warcraft]] 3 fan-mod, published as a standalone game developed by original ''DotA'' programmers.
Line 308:
* [[Knight Templar]]: The city-state of Demacia in general. A more specific case is Kayle "The Judicator," a literal angel of justice.
** An interesting distinction though as Kayle, although superficially an ally of Demacia (as her [[Cain and Abel|dark sister]] [[Fallen Angel|Morgana]] is allied with their rivals Noxus), appears to place her final allegiance with the League as the arbiter of law on Valoran (placing her on the "Law Before Good" end of the [[Lawful Good]] scale). Demacia on the other hand acts out of an unshakeable belief in their own righteousness in opposing the "evil" of Noxus -- a column by a Demacian writer in the Journal of Justice argued, not that Demacia was ''not'' responsible for breaking the cease-fire with Noxus or that they had been framed, but that they were ''justified'' in attacking the Noxians in Kalamanda, citing their moral superiority and quoting a section of Demacian Creed that is honestly rather scary:
{{quote| "In our eternal forward march, we must stomp out evil all across Valoran wherever it may grow. Leave no stone unturned: the roots of one ignored weed will inevitably corrupt the whole of the garden."}}
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Katarina used the British pronunciation of the word 'Macabre' (Muh-cahb-RUH) in the earlier stages of the game. When her voice actor was changed, she was given a new joke that subtly called attention to this.
** Ditto with Janna.
Line 318:
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]:
** All champions talk to their summoner in the game. Since the players act as summoners, this can lead to some playing with this trope as some champions remark about things that don't always make sense in-universe.

** [http://www.leagueoflegends.com/story/issue-7-12-october-20-cle The 7th issue of the Journal of Justice] has an interview of Mundo, in which he says he has opened a business, amongst other things. "Corporate businessman one of the many skins Mundo wear. Mundo also bodybuilder." Those sentences are interpretable literally, since those are skins you can buy to use for him.
