League Factions: Fight for either Noxus or Zaun!

Factions is a community-powered League of Legends game mode in which Summoners declare for a faction, such as Noxus or Ionia, and fight matches using faction-specific Champion lists. These small rosters give each faction distinctive strengths and weaknesses — for example, Demacia has a very strong all-in teamfight, while Piltover has excellent poke — and allow players to really delve deeply into these matchups. Members of each faction are encouraged to collaborate on faction strategies that make the best use of their rosters and exploit weaknesses in their opponents’. The rosters also give each faction a cohesive in-game thematic flavor, such as Piltover’s steampunk aesthetic or the spooky vibe that the Shadow Isles emanates.

In addition to creating some novel gameplay and flavorful matches, Factions puts players in the center of the narrative as Summoners whose actions shape the future of Runeterra. Factions gain points from victories and lose points from defeats. In-universe, these point totals represent the influence each faction has with the Council, and determine how the story progresses. We also hold interactive lore events in which Summoners make important decisions for their factions.

The current Arc is Arc X: Insurrection. Noxus and Zaun are fighting for control over the strategically important city of Qa'hhar, with Noxus seeing the city as a prime recruiting ground for it's legions and Zaun looking for a new market for it's goods and housing for it's Shuriman workers.
