Have you considered having the champion VGU/release login music play on the champion's in-client page or have it as a click-to-listen option on their page? I think this would be a great way to keep the music relevant that you've already done, and give us a place to listen to them once the logins for them have retired.
Oleandervine1 votesYeah, no duh. But that's not in the game client. If your intellectual property is scattered across the internet, very few people are going to take their time to go dig it up - but if it's available on your OWN proprietary client for the game, people can hear it, say "that's awesome," and then take their time to look it up. Youtube and Soundcloud are destination spots if you already know what you're looking for, plus, as I mentioned, they're not part of Riot's own client.

Do you realize every single additional function you add to a program increases its weight?
Oleandervine1 votesOf course, but that's not the point here. The point here is that Riot has music they've produced for like a week's worth of login screens, and then unceremoniously file it away in what equates to a closet on the internet, never to be seen again unless you're specifically looking for the piece of music. People who never heard it to begin with, therefore, will probably not think to look for it, which means they've invested a lot of time, energy, money, and musicians into music that's essentially being wasted.

Maybe it'd be cool if it was available on the webpage, but I don't see how increasing the client size would be a good idea. Same reason there's an "Universe" tab on the webpage but not on the client.
