The "this" that Beck refers to is League of Legends’ unrivaled success, a victory that’s quantifiable. In 2014, the last time that Riot publicly gave out player numbers, it stated that 67 million people were playing each month. Now, seven years into the game’s life, that number has surpassed 100 million.
Despite releasing that figure alongside this story going live, Beck and Merrill claim to hate discussing numbers, which they say is why the company hasn’t provided any for the last two years.
"It’s hard to parse, but at the end of the day, those things don’t even feel real," says Beck. "The coolest thing is actually when we’re at the live events and get to meet fans face to face. Only then does it start to feel real. Otherwise, they’re just numbers on a screen all over the world."
Indifferent or not, those numbers keep climbing.
For all the circle jerk haters that say league of legends is "Dying". (Keep in mind a couple of % of these accounts are smurfs, as stated by RiotKaramja)https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/52khrd/more_then_100_million_monthly_active_league_of/d7lbmiy)
