League of Legends: Wild Rift

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that League of Legends: Wild Rift is a multiplayer online battle arena (or MOBA) game for iOS and Android devices. The game's based off the wildly popular PC game League of Legends, which has spawned global eSports competitions, musical groups, merchandise, and more. Players are also offered the opportunity to purchase new characters and content for real money. While the game's easy to learn, and comes with lots of tutorials, the complications revolve around learning all of the characters available in the game, along with their skills, strengths and weaknesses. Even with lots of practice, you still need accurate aim, luck, and timing, along with the help of your teammates, to successfully defeat your opponents. Needless to say, you'll have to put in work to improve your skills. Violence is the focus of the title, with characters using melee, ranged, and magical abilities to eliminate monsters and opponents, but there's no blood or gore shown, and attacks often have comical effects attached. Unmoderated gameplay could expose players to inappropriate content, and some user names push the edge of offensive commentary. Some female characters do wear tight or revealing clothing, and a character's attacks and skills comment on drinking, though nothing's shown.
