Good job, Riot!
Posting in the correct category.
** I can be salty and complain about things but the truth needs to be said... When there's something positive to be praised, it deserves exactly that.
I'm quite surprised at the amount of work that Riot has been doing lately. Of course, I'm not doubting how hard they work but I'm very proud (if I can say that) of what they've managed to achieve in a short period of time. I've played this game for almost three years (on several accounts) and I genuinely believe they are taking some enormous steps towards making 'League of Legends' a bigger experience.
Let's take champion design, for example.
They've created some of the most fun and interesting champions I've had the pleasure of playing. From extensive lores to the amount of taunts they have, unique interactions with items, the way they look and feel like they stand out from the rest. I'm a big fan of Ekko; I genuinely believe he is one of the most fun champions to play, I enjoy his particles, I enjoy his design, his voice-acting is very good, the cinematic was amazing.
I was very happy when one of my favorite champions got a rework. Viktor is still that great champion that I picked up when he wasn't seen much in PvP, loved his design before and he only looks better now, he scales so well and feels so satisfying to play. Poppy looks amazing too, Shen looks great --- all of these visual updates along with kits look really, really good.
Jhin! He feels like a mixture between Pagan min from 'Far Cry 4' and Sander Cohen from the first 'Bioshock', two personalities which are interesting and fit the character so well. His kit seems like a lot of fun, the amount of interactions are insane and he looks bloody awesome! I've been saving up my iP for him because he's that type of champion that even if I'm not good at, I can enjoy playing because his personality is so engaging (like Jinx and Vi, champions I don't really play but always manage to make me feel good whenever I hear their voice-acting).
The new Hextech-Crafting system which will give players plenty of content, the way the champion select looks...
Just the amount of sharp work they've done to make the game look better, to feel like it's fresh (new items, changing items, masteries, etc); it's all very inspiring to see. The Bilgewater map looked amazing, it was such a shame it was limited time only because the amount of detail was something that should have been kept around or should be brought back sometime (hint, hint).
Everything they've done made the game feel more immersive, the amount of work put into lore, interactive cinematics like the Illaoi one, the cinematics for the PROJECT: skins was one of my favorites, the fact that they bring artists in to make music, everything!
So basically, thank you for always giving us something to look forward to and thank you for all of the hard-work.
As much as this game can frustrate me at times, I'm still glad I started playing because most of the time, I'm having fun, being entertained and feeling like there's always something new to catch my interest.
Best luck in your future works and can't wait to see more! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
