What roles do players in League of Legends prefer, how often are they insulted in matches, and which modes do they like the most? These and other questions were answered by Riot Games’ MOBA fans for infographics from reddit under the nickname Clanaria.

87% of the respondents were male, 12% female, and the last 1% did not consider themselves to be traditional gender. Most of the respondents (37%) are from 21 to 24 years old, while 28% are fond of League of Legends from 6 to 7 years.

The most popular mode was Summoner’s Rift, a standard 5v5 format option for MOBA. Second place went to ARAM with random heroes. Teamfight Tactics is played by 37% of the respondents. 2 585 people spend 2-5 matches in one game session.

57% of respondents who participate in rating matches have the rank of “Gold” or “Platinum”. At the same time, support became the most popular role – 28% of respondents prefer it. The top 3 included positions for solo lines.

98% of respondents said that they were insulted during matches at least once. 79% said that the toxic behavior of teammates and opponents continued after the end of the game. At the same time, 32% of women in League of Legends experienced sexism.
