I can't in any capacity call myself an authority on League of Legends - I played all of 2 hours of it.
But I can tell you that I'm pretty good at listening to other people's warnings, and detecting when the feel of a virtual room is off- and it was rancid in League. Nobody I've ever seen playing that game had a good time with it; nobody I've ever talked to who played League did, and moreso described it in terms of addiction and compulsion.
My own experiences were being bothered by friends to try it, trying it, and just really not liking the way people treated each other in its sidebar chat, how playing it made me feel, nor the gameplay loop. After 2 hours flat, I straight-up excused myself and left, uninstalling the game. My friends would later say they understood.
Treat your fellow humans, and yourselves, better: Don't start playing League of Legends.
