I just saw a short, anime-style LoL ad on Adult Swim and I have some brief feedback

It was uninformative and stupid.

All the recent LoL ads and commercials have been absolute garbage.

Wait, what? There's LoL ads on TV...?

No bumper ad (which is what they all are) is meant to give you a rundown of what the game is. Just get you excited for it.

Like what does this tell you about WoW? Unless you know about WoW, fucking nothing except dude getting on bus does not like lady for having sticker while big guy has red sticker that means he's GOOD PEOPLE.

Comparatively

Hell does this tell you about League other than it's on a computer? BIG SWORD MAN FIGHT SWORD DEMON THEN GETS UP WITH A N G E R Y

It's not meant to sell you on the game, it's meant to make you go "lol holy fuck that's so dumb but also really cool" like any teenager would probably say at something so dumb but also a little cool. Then you go look up the game and (hopefully) play.

You’re uninformative and stupid.

This is the first time I’ve been able to throw an insult back at somebody and actually mean it.

You have not gone in-depth whatsoever as to what specifically you felt was wrong and what you would like to see. On top of that, you actually thought you would be able to change the minds of any of Riot’s marketers with that sorry excuse for feedback.

I mean they’re all uninformative. They use anime as eye candy then use someone who looks “evil” like Swain and one of their marketing ploy champs like Jinx

Huh, it’s not everyday you see a post where the title is longer than the post itself.

I mean you've made it abundantly clear you're extremely biased against virtually anything Rito does so you aren't the best reviewer.

Also found the vid he's talking about, not too difficult.

Could you perhaps link it to us?

Why don't we just design better adds?

I just watched the Adult Swim one - and even though I play this game, I was confused. I can only imagine what a person who never saw the game would think.

It reminds me of those Mobile Advertisements where they use completely different footage. I would have thought this was an Anime fighting game.

I also heard some adds in a restaurant, when I heard the dude say "I haven't seem the sun in years!" I wanted to choke on my food and it was my mom's birthday celebration. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

They should take the example from Italian commissioned-to-youtubers ads.

Yes, they are cringy and stupid as fuck. But at least they somehow describe the game

Left handed blitz?

The only one I like is the one where Aatrox fcks up Tryndamere, because fuck that champion. Also because of their still painfully vague lore connection.

They should really just stick to the cinematics. https://youtu.be/uaDQB8lOlTk https://youtu.be/ZSGdN4hOiLc These are pretty good, no need for tryndamere fractured leg basketball player allegory, or just cringe lan party anime trailer.
