Riot··4 votes·116,737 views

In case you missed our announcement, League of Legends is back at PAX East for 2016! From April 22 - 24, we’re setting up shop at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center to join members of the League and wider video game communities for one of the best shows in gaming!


Update

League Minimap is now available! Everything you need for maximum League at PAX East:

  • Check the League schedule and map of booths

  • Add players you meet instantly to your in-game friends list

  • Complete Quests and be entered to win swag

  • View which community creators you can meet at the show

  • Nominate your own photos or art to be featured on the Community Feed

  • Dive into a personalized Riftwalk experience

  • ...and a few surprises!


What to Expect

  • Experience the League of Legends Riftwalk - an immersive, interactive journey through League’s history, showcasing memorable moments from the last six years, beloved community contributors, and the community that’s made it all possible. Located in rooms #153 A-C. More info below!
  • Watch the best in collegiate competition at the uLoL Campus Series Finals - check out the announcement here for now, and keep an eye out for more details as we get closer to kickoff. Located in booth #1256, PAX Arena.
  • Need to mend a wing or repair a foxtail? Look no further than the League Cospitality Room - here you’ll find an official cosplay photographer, changing rooms, costume repair supplies, and space to rest and take a break with fellow cosplayers. As always, the room is open to any and all cosplayers (and their handlers), regardless of inspiration. Located in room #152, open during show hours only.
  • Hear from some of your favorite community contributors at the Creator Showcase Panel - more than a dozen of the League community’s brightest lights will share their experiences as content creators. Saturday @ 1:30 PM EST, main PAX stage. Roster below!
  • Appear in a special PAX episode of /ALL Chat - join hosts Xell and Jimmy Wong as they catch up with old friends and make brand new ones. League’s community YouTube show will be roaming the halls at PAX and hanging out with League players like you along the way. Even if you’re not attending, this upcoming /ALL Chat episode will guide viewers on a magical journey through the PAX experience.
  • Stay in touch on social media - more details to come, but we’re looking to hear about your PAX experiences on twitter, instagram, and more!
  • Other events
    • Live podcast recording and Q&A with Sp4zie - Friday @ 10:30 AM EST, booth #1256
    • Sp4zie meet & greet - Friday & Sunday @ 2 PM EST, booth #1256
    • League cosplay showcase - Friday @ 5 PM EST (4 PM signup), booth #1256
    • Nicki Taylor performs “Worlds Collide” - Sunday @ 11:20 AM EST, booth #1256
    • League will be pre-installed and available to play during show hours at the CybertronPC Room

Away from the hustle and bustle of the show floor, you’ll approach a mysterious overgrown facade before entering the expansive pathways of Summoner’s Rift itself. The Riftwalk will take you on an immersive, interactive journey and showcase some of the brightest moments and personalities from League’s rich community history. You’ll enjoy photo ops astride legendary locations from the Rift itself, as well as busts, concept art, and cinematics highlighting League's evolution. Finally, amidst celebrations of seminal community content, you’ll have the chance to meet some of the contributors themselves!

We’ve also teamed up with the folks at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and 4 itchy Tasty! Cosplay to build what’s quite simply the most badass Thresh experience ever conceived. You’ll have the dubious privilege of meeting the Chain Warden in full 12-foot ghostly form and, should you master your fear, taking a photo that places you inside his lantern!

Speaking of badass, it wouldn’t be PAX without the reveal of a new, larger-than-life statue produced by master creature artist Steve Wang, the guy behind previous Ryze, Katarina, and Ziggs statues, as well as the Annie & Tibbers who command the lobby here at Riot Games. His latest creation will feature Lucian in the midst of an epic duel as he continues his quest to purify Runeterra of the undead and cleanse the souls of the Shadow Isles.


The Riftwalk will feature work by:

You’ll also have the chance to get to personally get to know Rioters involved in all sorts of League development:

  • Mike Maurino (Champion Update) | Sunny Pandita (Skins) | Brian Feeney (Game Designer) | August Browning (Champion Designer) | Colt Hallam (Champion Lead) | Brad Wenban (Sr. Game Designer) | Jess Frucht (Creator Support Program) | Matt Dunn (Narrative)

And if you’re not headed to Boston, fear not! We’re so excited about this experience that we couldn’t possibly keep it to just one city - stay tuned for details later in the year as the Riftwalk experience travels to further events around North America.

If you're going to Anime Expo this year, please save a "hello" for a luchador cosplayer with a giant "steel" chair! :)

Hey guys! Wow, it took me a few days before I was able to post. I guess my account was bugged for a bit. HI!! I'M RIN! Nice to meet you guys! And thank you all SO MUCH for liking the drawing I made for this!

Also, IM REALLY SORRY FOR ANY OF YOU WHO GOT CONFUSED ABOUT RIN IN THE CORNER! I was encouraged to put her in, so I went for it. She's not a Tristana PAX skin, sorry! Nor is she Braum's awesome looking mech girl sketch that IronStylus made a while back!

I've had Rin for a total of 6 years now. She's Heimerdinger's assistant, with a knack for hextechnology, specifically for her glider wings she's making. I use to be a lot more active on tumblr in the ask blogs, drawing little comics back, but it's since been a little slow. She actually started as a joke, but it stuck with me so I kept going with it, and eventually changed my name on league to "RinTheYordle" to play along with the fun! (though, I'd still highly encourage anyone who wants to write to, or make a blog on tumblr to do so! The ask blogs are fun and the artists and story writers there are AMAZING!)

Anyways, short story aside, I really, sincerely, am humbled that I'm getting to go to this event. This is my first PAX ever!! I'm really excited to meet you guys there! :D If you know me, and I'm able, I usually give hugs out of excitement, so uh, I HOPE THAT'S OKAY!

Anyways, for those of you going, hope to see you soon!!!! And if you aren't, I hope I get to see you guys at other conventions or events later on that I will be attending! (on my own that is, nothing with Riot! Like Summoner's Con! :D)

They should make a champ Rin The Yordle or at least a skin if you were ok with riot doing such a thing. your work is awesome and making a skin for tris or even a whole champ would be a great way to pay tribute to one of leagues great artist!

RinTheYordle4 votes

Well, she DEFINITELY doesn't function like Tristana, so that would just be odd XD But who knows! Honestly I know why Riot doesn't do fan created characters often as it can cause problems. Im not opposed to talking about the idea ever, but I doubt it would ever be. I'm honored as is that Riot lets me play around with Rin in content like this in the first place. It means a lot to me as just a community artist.

Really sad you guys didnt come out to PAX south. Was my PAX for the year.

I just realized that you guys decided to hold off on URF for 3 weeks JUST SO you could have URF be on live for PAX East. Kinda sad that you would break such a widely beloved tradition for the sole purpose of getting people to play League at PAX
