How to record League of Legends (LoL)

About League of Legends

League of Legends (LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games. In League of Legends, players assume the role of an unseen "summoner" that controls a "champion" with unique abilities and battle against a team of other players or computer-controlled champions. The goal is usually to destroy the opposing team's "nexus," a structure which lies at the heart of a base protected by defensive structures.

As of January 2014, over 67 million people played League of Legends per month, 27 million per day, and over 7.5 million concurrently during peak hours. In September 2016 the company estimated that there are over 100 million active players each month. (Wikipedia)
