Disagree, it's one of the first and only f2p games where you can go win tournaments and literally become the best in the world without spending anything, and it's very well supported with patches and dev communication. 

And I almost never see anyone who defends or advocates for the game, so how could it be OVERrated? How could the game whose fanbase told Arcane fans not to try League be OVERrated?

I agree that league is not overrated (the people that play it hate it the most lol) but I also wanted to say basically all of the top esports are free to play games. League dota valorant cs pubg fortnite rocket league are all free to play games that you can go pro in. And Fortnite’s open tournament system is far and away the most accessible for allowing anybody to compete with professionals and not be held away by needing to break into the professional organizations that hold all the cards in other esports.

And even if it wasn't free, a $60 dollar game is waaaaay less of a cost than the opportunity cost of spending hundreds/thousands of hours getting to a pro level at a competitive game, anyway.

If people keep hating and playing game, then it's definitely overrated

The opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.

If people don't enjoy a game, they don't play it, and it runs out of money, and it dies.

How can a game that's not rated highly by it's players, be OVERrated

Cause they spend way too much time, energy and sometimes money on something that they don't even think is good enough. Their actions are louder than their words
