Resumo: This article seeks to understand the consumption of virtual goods in the everyday practices of players of the online game League of Legends (LoL) to reflect on the particular social constitution of consumers of this online game. The theoretical-analytical framework starts from the orientation of the anthropological approach to consumption. As an empirical clipping, the discussion will be evidenced through a research with ethnographic premises with a group of LoL consumers from the cities of Belém (PA), Diadema (SP) and Osasco (SP). The reflections indicate that the main motivations for the consumption of these commodities in League are based on the essential acting of the symbolic values to the detriment of the values of use and exchange.
