How was the ambience for the Role Selection lobby made?

I amped up my volume to a hundred and it was really soothing to listen to for a moment. Quite tranquil. I wonder if it was just recorded in some forest or is it a compilation of multiple sounds?

Hey there! This ambient bed was created using some of the real-world recordings we used for the Summoner's Rift background ambiences, mixed with elements of our homegrown Runeterra "blue magic" sound FX palette.

Thanks for the comment - glad you like it =)

Riot doesn't seem to use a lot of actual real world recordings for this type of thing. They typically mix and edit various studio-recorded sound effects to get what they want. The bird calls might just be an edited existing sound bite, while the magical noises would be made using some combination of real world stuff in a studio.
