1. Heroes of Newerth
While there is an official native version of League of Legends coming to the Mac soon along with an open beta, there is a free game that is like League of Legends, called Heroes of Newerth. V3 of Heroes of Newerth just came out last week with improved graphics and gameplay and now you can play with bots and against bots.
Heroes of Newerth is free to download and play. It has a small but growing community of fans and supporters.
You can check it out at:

There are versions available for Windows, Mac (intel) and Linux.
If you don't know what League of Legends is -- it started as a mod for Warcraft 3 and it became a full fledged game.
The goal of League of Legends & Heroes of Newerth is to destroy the main structure of the opposing team. When you die, you get to respawn. You control a hero and are aided by computer controlled soldiers that respawn from barracks or other structures and you invade the opposing teams turf. You get to level up when you kill members of the opposing team and gain spells and gold to enhance yourself at the shop.
It is a fantasy themed strategy game with rpg elements. Fun and free.
2. Path of Exile
It is what Diablo 3 should have been. The game is in beta and is for windows but there is a unofficial port for the Mac (intel).
It is a hack and slash rpg game, much like Diablo series.
If you are familiar with the Diablo series, you can just jump right into the game. Very Diablo like and nice graphics, excellent gameplay and great storyline. You are a exile banished to a hopeless land and you and other players must fight the odds to survive.
Yes, it is multi-player and you get to choose your character class (which is similar to Diablo series.) I chose a Templar as my character (which is basically a Paladin.)
It is fun and free.

I am using v4.0 for the unofficial Mac port and it is pretty stable.
