Riot Games’ League of Legends strategy hasn’t always focused on extra sports (although for many, the memory of the S1 is Yell0wStaR’s arrow). At the time, the player who had linked to the official site saw mainly the announcements of the publisher for the new champions (not Fear Sherlock), but the creativity of the community. And it shows how players viewed the game back then, which is not beneficial to them at all.
start with music
Listening to these two pieces of music performed by anonymous fans at the time (Lilipichu is certainly no longer anonymous, at least in the United States) allows you to immerse yourself in what League of Legends was like in 2011. Note that if the first video is a cover of the song “Video Killed Radio Star”, it shows very well the experience of a normal game player when launching the game.
Certain characteristics of time are easily recognizable through this song. It wasn’t uncommon to see ADCs in midfield anymore until all players realized that magic was much more effective on that line. Likewise, the support role is not clearly defined, Singed has never been a promoter. Most of the time, no one wanted to play that role and someone who had to play one found themselves in it and could agree to leave the farm to someone else (not always). Finally, another difference relates to the play of certain characters. The song is covered in secret, but in the first season Alistair was closer to the AP than the support. The Minotaur played a lot in the jungle with AP items, and the damage it dealt wasn’t that negligible.
The second is the composition of Lilipichu, which talks about his experience in rated games.
SoloQ is also mentioned, although the main problem here is its suppliers and people on its team, which are not very strong. The latter was very different, as the roles were no longer appropriate. The player’s position in the team selection determined his choice. He was able to choose one of the five roles that first chose his champion, but the last one had to take the remaining position against bad luck and a good heart (this is how Akali’s support for Muramana was born no matter how much). the air, but at least he posed in the halls).
One of the amazing things is that back then it wasn’t the current League of Legends behemoth. The creator’s career was completely out of the question at the time, but not many gamers in the world thought, with all due respect, that the game was good enough to create a song and an animation. This continued over the years as bands like Instalock specialized in adapting popular songs into the world of League of Legends. There was also a new category of music creators who used game sounds to create music. The post below shows the use of character sound patterns (some modified) on the dubstep track.
with immortal images
Of course, music was not the only medium. There was sculpture, fan art, a thousand ways to bring a bit of League of Legends into any space. Initially, the creations were presented in the form of articles, but the video presentation was quickly put in place. It was Nikasauri’s famous Summoner Showcase.
At that time, the competition around the game did not take its place today. If that’s not bad at all, the truth is that five minutes a week where artists created objects in the game world were really little cuties.
