Research Blog #12

I think the site i am looking at from my research paper is genuinely a Subculture.  I say this because the game is not a widely known one, and it is nothing close to the Blockbusters like Halo or World of Warcraft.  This game is an extension of the DOTA subculture.  I say the DOTA genre is a sub culture because it was not originally created as a game type by any corporation, in fact it was created by a person playing with the Warcraft III map creator, and its popularity was then fueled by player of Warcraft III, once he uploaded it online.  This site is for the stand-alone game League of Legends,  which is a DOTA  and actually was created by the guy who first made the map in Warcraft III.  This game is also free-to-play so anyone can join in and play if they like it.  Furthermore my site is a fan site for this game, and is a place for player to share their gaming experiences and to hammer out new strategies for each one of the multiple characters you can choose within the game.
