I've got some LoL questions, and seems best to post here rather than a new thread.
I've never played LoL, but my son (aged 9) wants to start playing. What do people think about this?
I've mainly got concerns about the community... he's been watching YouTube videos and is telling me the he will only play against AI Bots and will turn off chat, but I have a feeling that he will want to move onto PvP matches, and I guess chat is needed for a team game.
I'd appreciate some honest and balanced opinions on this.
Definitely disable the chat. Even Bot games can get a little heated if you run into the wrong people, although it's nowhere near as bad as PvP. LoL has a pretty good ping/signal system, so disabling chat isn't the end of the world: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752974-Smart-Ping
Does he have any friends that might want to play it with him? Or maybe you yourself?
