MOBA hosts more than 32 million active monthly users

Every month more than 32 million unique players log into the multiplayer online battle arena game, and their hours spent laning, farming, and ganking add up to more than a billion monthly. For some perspective, the entire Halo series has amassed somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 billion hours of online play since Halo 2 in 2004.

Riot Games also revealed a little bit of demographic data, showing some stark homogeneity in the community. More than 90 percent of all League of Legends players are male, 85 percent are between 16 and 30, and 60 percent are enrolled in or have completed some college.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
