Available on PC and Mac, League of Legends is a team-based battle arena game in which players build and level up their “champion” to collect new character items and become more powerful.

Conclusion
As you can probably tell from the above, League of Legends doesn't require high-end computer specs to play. It's also available on both PC (Windows) and Mac, so you can jump right in no matter what computer or laptop you own.
It's worth mentioning that having the minimum system requirements does not guarantee flawless gameplay. You also need a good internet connection to play the game, especially if you want to avoid lag and disconnection issues.
Wild Rift, the free-to-play mobile version of League of Legends, is always another option if your PC isn't up to standard, provided you have a relatively new Android or iOS phone with good internet.
