DotA players as well as the community members decided to work on a stand-alone game that is powered by its engine. The game was announced in 2009 and the beta version of the game was launched in April of the same year, and the game could be accessed all over the world in October, 2009.  It became popular because it was free to play, and it relied entirely on voluntary deposits.

The popularity of the game was so much that it awed the developers, and for that matter, Riot games hired as many developers as it could to work on various projects.

Some of the features that were added on the game include runes and dozens as well as League of Legends skins. The company also launched incredible cinematic every now and then. It only took a short while before the game became more popular than Defense of the Ancients and went to become one of the most successful games by Riot games.
