I love league of of legends. I also loved when they brought the characters to life by their cinematics. A Twist of Fate came out 2 years ago and A New Dawn came out 1 year ago but where is this year's clip? I would live for the videos to come back and allow the users to put themselves into the world of Freljord even more.
Well let's look at what we've got over the years in terms of cinematics:
2009: Trailers for the game. 2010: The season one cinematic. 2011: If memory serves the unreleased Dominion cinematic was at this time? I'm almost certain it was here. 2012: Er...nothing. There was no cinematic of any kind in 2012. I could be wrong, but as far as I remember there was nothing. 2013: A Twist of Fate was the obvious one, but we also had Road to the Cup and Get Jinxed later down the road, and from here we see a new pattern emerge... 2014: There was of course A New Dawn but also Vel'Koz: First Contact, Trials of the Poro, the two Shurima videos, the Harrowing video, Kalista: The Pledge and The Terror Beneath. Pretty damn rich in cinematic experiences of varying kinds. 2015 The Curse of the Sad Mummy, Bard: Mountain, Ekko: Seconds, The River King, PROJECT: OVERDRIVE and all the Worlds Cinematic things with the crystals and stuff.
You might say to me "But Sharjo, that's not what I'm talking about!" well it kinda is in that these are ALL cinematics, just of varying kinds. Just because we haven't had a cinematic in the style of A New Dawn and A Twist of Fate doesn't discredit the others, and I understand the desire for a big mashup cinematic, but in all honesty I prefer just having a crap ton of cinematics that are all cool in their own right.
So to summarise: cinematics haven't gone anywhere, in fact they've came, seen and conquered for the most part, with way more of these cool visual promos being showcased throughout the year that are related to multiple facets of the League of Legends experience, from competitive to skins to lore to just being damn awesome. Just because there hasn't been a champion vs champion mashup cinematic in 2015 doesn't mean much in the scope of cinematics as a whole, considering that since A Twist of Fate we've been getting a crap ton more than ever before.
I actually prefer Bards, Ekko, PROJECT:Overdrive cinematics then A New Dawn and A Twist of Fate :|
I really wish they would deliver us an event with a few shorts with a good story to them, like the Bilgewater ones, as oppose to champion deathmatch
they used to do 1 per season, guess they forgot season 5 Season 1: Original Season 2: the Crystal Scar/Dominion cinematic Season 3: A Twist of Fate Season 4: A New Dawn
They take a really, really long time to make one of the quality of the others. Animated movies like the League cinematics and other CGI/traditional animation take a while to actually make
It's not even season 6 yet.
