So I saw an advertisment for League of Legends today.

Unfortunately I was unable to find a copy of it on Youtube to share. But anyways, a friend and I were watching videos on Youtube, some funny stuff from the recommended tabs or just whatever. Eventually some League related videos popped up and before one of them an ad played, one narrated by Phreak that gave an introduction to summoner's rift. Now normally we would skip ads, but a combination of Phreak's soothing voice and shock had us watch the entire ad. We were flabbergasted, this advertisement for the game was literally a better tutorial than the actual tutorial in the game.

This ad could serve as an introduction to the game for both players and spectators at competitive events. The tutorial seems garbled and random by comparison, but there are like 50+ other threads on that subject. I feel like a more tailored welcome video can be played for players when they first log in, before they even choose a summoner name. Like something that is less of an ad and more of a cinematic, maybe pair some of the cinematic scenes riot already made with tutorials videos featuring those champions. Anyway, I'm going to cut this off before I start dwelling on bad things. I just wanted to say that the ad was awesome and it would be cool to see more things like it.

Not sure if bumping works here, but I'm going to do it once.
