-Casual Gamer Here- What's TenCent?

RobTheTank·4/30/2016, 2:39:04 AM·3 votes·444 views

Hey all. I've enjoyed playing League since the summer of 2011. I'm a working adult (28 at the time of this post) and I really only play this game to have fun after a long day. I only play normal games; ranked is too hard for me (although League put me in Bronze II or III the last few years). I don't really know whats going on in the League community half the time.

Can someone explain this TenCent thing? I've looked into it briefly; its my understanding TenCent is a company hired to help struggling games and apparently Riot is now owned by this company or something?

I HAVE noticed League getting kinda watered-down and somehow softer over the years.

Can anyone explain whats going on and what TenCent is doing?

Thanks all!

Tencent doesn't technically own Riot, but they have about 90% of the stocks on it, so they have a great influence on League, much to the dismay of League players.
