Over a billion hours played. Impressive.
The question is...
How many of those hours are just AFKers, or chatters compared to actual players?
Or does Xfire ONLY record you as playing when you're in a match? I forget how Xfire works for LoL.
If it only records when you're in match...that's rather impressive considering it's not that way for other games. If it records as long as any part of the client is up...then a large majority of those hours could just be AFKers, people in queue, or just chatters in general.
Well, according to the handy infographic Riot just put up, it is the most played game in the world right now.
Spoiler
All I can say is lol
Is League of Legends fun? I actually never tried it.
No we just play it because we hate ourselves.Quote:

It records as long as LolClient.exe is running which is the lobby.Quote:

Yeah, nah.
Also it only counts EU and NA.
Most played game my ass.
I don't think the xFire thing records people who don't have the program because a bunch of my friends don't have it and they play LoL.
Then there's MapleStory...Quote:

Let's do some math! Pieces of info I don't have a rough source of is how many times Teemo dies per match.Quote:

But Teemo doesn't exist in every single match. According to lolking.net, he gets picked roughly 10% of the time. In blinds, it is also possible for him to show up twice in a single match. So...
15 Teemo matches/sec * 9 matches/ 1 Teemo match = 135 matches / sec
135 matches / sec * 10 players / match = 135 matches / sec
Now to calculate total time played...
135 matches/sec * 86400 sec/day * 356 days/year * 1 year/12 month = 346,032,000 matches/month
346,032,000 matches/month * 38 minutes/SR match * 10 players/SR match * 1hr/60min = 2,191,536,000 hours/month
Conclusion?Well, that's only how many hours are wasted on Summoner's Rift, the most popular map. There's also Dominion (he's semi-popular there), Twisted Treeline (uh...), bot games, and custom games (a minority). And though I hope they're not that dense to include this, there's also spectator mode. Having said that, I'm inclined to believe there's some afking figured in there.Damn son, that's a lot of hours xD This doesn't include the other game modes: Twisted Treeline, Dominion, bot games, and custom games.
EDIT: Forgot to include the fact that there are 10 players per match. Derp.
It's a lot of fun, especially when you have a few friends to join you. For beginners it's hard because the learning curve is rather steep but once you've got some of the basics down you'll die less and have more fun.Quote:
