League of Legends traffics a lot of players on a daily basis--12 million at last count. That player count means it's bound to have some bad behavior, but it also gives developer Riot Games plenty of room for testing. It began a series of player behavior initiatives last year, and has detailed the results.
League of Legends is hardly short on players, boasting 32 million active monthly and 12 million daily, but it's set to expand even more. After a spot of testing, Riot has properly released an open beta Mac client for its Dote 'em up, for the enjoyment of everyone gaming on a shiny white box.
League of Legends has gained a large audience and tournament scene, purely on the virtues of the PC. Macs have been left out in the cold so far, but all that is changing with a newly available beta client currently in testing.
League of Legends' new Honor system live. Each summoner should have a cache of honor to hand out, and Riot has issued some guidelines for being a responsible (and honorable) player.
League of Legends has been a big hit in the core MOBA scene, but it can be a little intimidating to newcomers. Fortunately, Riot Games is implementing a new system to encourage players to be nice to each other, which should help take the edge off a bit.
Players of League of Legends are being notified of a recent hack that has compromised personal information. According to Riot Games, hackers have "gained access" to player data, including e-mail addresses, passwords, date of birth, and security questions and answers. The company is advising potentially affected players to change their passwords, as "more than half of the passwords were simple enough to be at risk of easy cracking."
As with many online games, players will look for any advantage they can to win, including using hacks, cheats and unintentional loopholes in game code. Riot Games isn't taking too kindly to cheaters in its League of Legends game, and those violators are feeling the developer's wrath.

League of Legends has earned a name for itself as a kind of spectator sport -- as the packed crowds at trade shows and broadcast highlights would indicate. So it only makes sense that Riot Games' next update will include a full-fledged spectator mode.
Developer Riot Games has revealed new details for the newest update to its free-to-play title League of Legends. The major update will focus on improving bot intelligence in and attempt to make the game's co-op vs. AI modes more engaging.
If the string of developers making the same game with the exact same map weren't a big enough hint that the MOBA--Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, or 'DotA clone' to you and me--is getting big, the genre's now getting its very own mouse. Peripheral maker Razer yesterday at CES announced the Naga Hex, packing six extra buttons designed for your Doting pleasure.
With season one firmly in the books, League of Legends has now launched season two. The second round of competitive gaming introduces a significantly bigger prize pool spread across various events, and developer Riot Games will be broadcasting highlights through its Web site throughout the event.
League of Legends developer Riot Games has announced that the game is averaging over four million players per day, double the player base that it reported just four months ago. This includes a peak of 1.3 million concurrent players, and 11.5 million active monthly players, and 30 million registered players.

If you need a LoL in a jiffy, help is at hand. Developer Riot Games today launched the new capture & hold Dominion mode for League of Legends, which aims to deliver shorter and more intense round of the free-to-play multiplayer tactical action-RPG.
Last month, we reported that Riot Games' free-to-play, action-RPG League of Legends would be getting a new game mode called "Dominion," soon. It's not yet time for the mode's official release, but Riot has announced that a limited beta test for the new mode is beginning today.
The Mac version of League of Legends, which began semi-public testing last year, is to be discontinued this week following trouble keeping it up to date with the PC edition. Developer Riot Games still hopes to bring the DotA-'em up to Mac in the future, but it won't be any time soon.
