They just launched the NXT update where the graphics have been majorly improved. I'm starting to wonder whether league is starting to fall off, graphically, especially when a game like Runescape manages to catch up.

League won't be able to catchup until they recode their entire game.
RuneScape has the advantage of HTML5 behind them.
They are working on a new engine and I would imagine that new engine could handle better graphics. They've done a decent job making the job prettier with what they have right now though, I think.
I think the cartoony graphic of league is fine now because otherwise older computers might not be able to run it.
The easier graphics of lol are half meant to be more accessible to older machines.
Besides lol looks good to me, not every game needs to look ultra realistic.
Hell I've some fantastic steam games with super oldschool outdated graphics.
Any real gamer knows gameplay trumps graphics.
League has a painted style that is seen from one angle.
Also I am looking at that table and grass. That is hideous. I can make better grass than that.
City is beautiful tho.
