Installing League of Legends PH in 4 STEPS (Updated October 2017)

Yes. You heard me right. Just four steps to download, install and finally play League of Legends!

I have downloaded League of Legends last year but it was not successful. Actually, I became hopeless downloading, installing and playing it because I literally don't know how to find the easiest and fastest and most accurate way of downloading it. I don't want you to experience the same thing happened to me. That's why I am here to help you breaking into LoL gaming.

I jumped into numerous sites and even Garena page itself doesn't really guide you on how to properly install. I dunno about you, but if installing and finding downloadables of LoL, it should be on the top page results, shouldn't it?

Honestly speaking, I don't know any of my friends who plays LoL, because we all play DotA. Like, every week or at least twice a month, we play altogether (via LAN). I don't really play by myself on Normal Matches because of toxic players saying a lot of sh*t. Or maybe because I am practically NOOB.

Well, I am not here to roast myself but to guide you the easiest way to download and install LoL.

We got an IT intern last year and I asked him how to install LoL in PC. He said I need to download a messenger first before downloading the actual game.

I regrettably decided to disregard that and proceed to what the results page provided. Which was downloading the game itself.

So, yeah. I downloaded the game without messenger or anything. I just went to Google and typed in "How To Install LoL" and it gave me a bunch of sites claiming that they're all TRUE. But nah.

To give you a warning, I went to this site to download the game. Because it was GARENA! I spent hours downloading it literally for nothing. I even let my PC turned on for hours while I am not at home just to finish it. It was actually the installer of the game itself. But the difference is, you need to go through Garena Messenger to play it and that's the real deal. So, no. Don't go there. I am still wondering why the first results page of Google doesn't have Garena Messenger to be there first because that's literally what you need!

Anyways, let's get started!

*DISCLAIMER: PHILIPPINES ONLY. I'm not sure if this also works to other countries.

1. Go to this SITE (https://www.garena.ph/gpc)

DO NOT GO TO OTHER GARENA PAGES BUT THIS SITE ONLY. If you do, you'll just waste your computer's memory and time and effort to nothing.

See that? Download it. Go to the site, not that.

It will take you less than 5 minutes (depending on your internet speed) to download the messenger. I think it was around less than 100mb so it's just a quick download.

2. Install it

Once you are done, Garena Messenger will pop out and a sign-in/sign-up is there.

3. Log-in/Create Garena Messenger Account

If you already have a Garena Messenger Account, just log-in.

If you don't, create a Garena account to be able to download LoL. If you don't have, take all the time in the world to create an account. It's just easy like creating account on FaceBook or YouTube or Steam. Do you want me to guide you? Kidding.

4. Download LoL

After logging in, you will see some of Riot's games and LoL is just looking right at you.

Click the LoL logo. If you are not on the same page as me, this is it:

You're welcome.

Since I already downloaded the game, I can see the word "PLAY" at the bottom center of Garena on my PC. Which means I CAN PLAY ANY TIME but here I am making a tutorial for you.

To download it, just click DOWNLOAD. And you're good to go.

You will also see how much memory is needed. As far as I remembered, before I hit download, the memory needed was 7225MB or 7.2GB.

Because of my connection, I literally spent 7 hours to finish downloading. My internet speed is just up to 3mbps per second only, but it varies, of course. I started at 8PM and it finished at around past 3AM. So expect that downloading the game is a little suspense.

*You can pause your download anytime. Not sure if you can turn off your PC if you want to continue downloading the next day though.

4. PLAY!

After you download the game, you can now play LoL.

We are not trying to be a noob here. So, if you are a newbie just like me, why don't you explore everything first before going into real battles?

Or if you think you are a Legend, OK. No more talking and just play.

Stalking Using Google Images

Have you ever saw someone for the first time and you are literally dying to know that person's name? Because I do!

Stalking is not really good. I know. But unfortunately, your mind is telling no. Because you got all the time in the world and you want that person's name so bad, why not?

So now, let's give you a fair share of knowledge in stalking someone using Google Images. If you know a person just by face and you don't have any good photo, you cannot use these tips.

In my case, I am browsing 9gag when an advertisement of a dating app appeared between images. Like this:

I ignored this. Many times. I am not the usual someone who randomly stalks someone just to, you know, know their names. But this ad keeps on appearing on the site I am literally using everyday, so why not?

It intrigued me to look for the name of the guy in this advertisement. The third guy!

So first, I just use some possible random keywords in Google

*Holla is the name of the app, I literally went to Google Play to see it myself

Nothing happened. I failed seeing his face.

So, I tried adding some keywords like holla, app, mobile, guy, model, name.

But I still failed.

Then, I tried using Google Images.

I Google image the whole advertisement. Who knows when Holla website (if there is) appears and they put the names of their models. 

But it gave a far different result.

What will I do with random selfies?

Then, I came up with the idea of cropping the picture. Wise, right?

The brighter side: I got another angle of the same picture!

The darker side: Still no name or any information, just two pictures (what I thought) of him and the worst is, all the websites are in Chinese!

Well, at least there is an improvement on my stalking, isn't it?

I jumped into Google results page. But all what's written is in Chinese.

I am not being racist here but, he doesn't look Chinese for me at all! Why are the results like this?

I saved the original image for a clearer and better picture and repeated the steps.

The results were still in Chinese.

I decided to just jump from one page to next and randomly clicked on titles with guy names or sites with model names.

Until, I saw this!

Martin Conte.

So, I opened the first link with his name in it and...

My hardship finally paid off!

I went to Google Images results as well as his Instagram account.

And the pictures confirmed it!

You may follow him on Instagram at @martinconte

For those who'll say why didn't I ask to any forum (i.e Yahoo! Answers) together with his picture, I would say I can't because I never did that. And sometimes I think it takes forever to wait for an answer so why don't you find it yourself? And of course, I tried Google Images if this really works for stalking. Okay?

PS:

I don't follow him on Instagram. I just want to know his name. But not what he does for work, or his personality, if he has a girlfriend or where he lives. I am just curious about his name.
