Most players can agree that the 2020 reworks are more successful than previous attempts like Aatrox and Swain who play much differently or barely resemble their original incarnation. Since the next updates will focus on Dr. Mundo and perhaps Shyvana, players can only hope they continue the current trend which retains a champion’s most iconic spells and concepts adapted to modern Runete
Second, this isn’t the first time Seraphine has been allegedly inspired by a real person. Jeevun Sidhu, a senior designer at Riot, tweeted out that the character is actually based on his partner – something that Stephanie has acknowledged . When that story went around, though, Riot didn’t issue some weak tea statement about the character not being based on anybody. It was only when they were called out by very compelling evidence that they said literally anything about it, likely in fear over another Edgar Davids situati
Perhaps it’d be interesting to see how the Apex Legends community responds to the idea of spin-off titles, and whether it’d be a worthy venture for Respawn Entertainment and/or EA. At a glance, Apex Legends and Titanfall bring enough to the table lore-wise for this to be absolutely possible, but it’s a matter of gauging whether the interest is there. Somehow mixing the whimsical nature of Apex Legends ‘ lore with the seriousness of Titanfall could be an interesting experim
At the end of last year, Riot Games announced an effort to expand the League of Legends IP beyond its MOBA roots. Acquiring and partnering with several third-party studios, Riot Games’ new initiative for its 10th anniversary has spawned a League of Legends fighting game, a popular FPS called Valorant , a collectible card game called Legends of Runeterra , and even a business/management sim for LoL esports. The League of Legends universe will soon reach far beyond the base game into a ton of new gaming experiences, a sentiment that Respawn Entertainment recently expressed with the hit battle royale Apex Legends as w
Since the start of summer, shipped updates have included improved AFK detection and the ability to report or mute disruptive players during champ select. These changes have resulted in more penalties and less repeat offenders with League of Legends players feeling their actions are making a noticeable difference. After these successes, Riot is planning further updates for affected teammates such as early surrendering and reducing LP loss in ranked games. While there are still rare issues like players being flagged for actually doing poorly or returning to ranked after several years and being placed in smurf queue, continued work should fix things in the next few months along with further improveme
League of Legends ‘ expansion was emphasized earlier this week with a new cinematic story trailer for Ruined King: A League of Legends Story . Alongside the other untitled projects that Riot Games announced last year, Ruined King will be a single-player RPG set in the League of Legends universe. Players will add several iconic characters from the base game (Miss Fortune, Ahri, Illaoi, Yasuo, Braum, and Pyke) into their party as they explore the Shadow Isles. Slated to release early next year, it’s the first of several ambitious projects set in the League of Legends universe to expand the story of Riot Games’ now-iconic M
On the other hand, 2 champions were finally reworked after winning the community vote back in 2019: Fiddlesticks and Volibear. Both characters were chosen by players for a visual update because their concepts didn’t fit in the game’s ever-evolving lore. To that end, Fiddlesticks was transformed into a primordial demon disguised as a scarecrow while Volibear was redesigned as the Freljord demigod he was always meant to be. Even though details were changed, the thematic is still there and instantly recognizable by veteran play
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate just celebrated its two-year anniversary . Leading up to the release of the Spellcraft Game, Nintendo’s crossover fighting game had some absolutely epic trailers, including the glorious reveal trailer showcasing the Inklings getting their first taste of Smash Bros. action. Since then, the remarkable reveal trailers have continued to shock and amaze. Whether it was the nostalgic reveal of Banjo and Kazooie or the shocking first look at Joker, Nintendo often puts together exciting trailers to showcase which fighter is joining the bout. But the most recent reveal may be the best
In the upcoming 11.2 patch, a new Ruined thematic will arrive featuring skins for Karma, Draven, and Shyvana. While many past skinlines are from alternate versions of Runeterra , Riot has confirmed these Ruined skins are canon to the main universe. As such, these skins reflect the champions’ current states after being corrupted by Viego’s po
A woman named Stephanie, who previously dated a Riot Games employee, presented compelling evidence that Seraphine was modeled after her . While Riot Games denied the claims, it’s hard to deny the similarities between Stephanie and the character – especially considering this is the third time Riot has been accused of t
