Artwork for the online video game'League of Legends,' which turns 10 in October 2019. When it comes to video games, "League of Legends" is in a league of its own. The popular online PC game, launched by publisher Riot Games in October 2009, is hitting its 10th anniversary. Typically, after a decade a video game is likely to have been retired – a victim of technological advances and competing releases. However, even though relative newcomer shooters such as "Fortnite,""Apex Legends" and "Overwatch" get a lot of attention, "League of Legends" maintains plenty of clout in the growing esports arena.
