League of Legends turns 10 years old this month, and Riot Games has a lot of news to share as part of the celebration. Like, a lot. Here's a full rundown.

Begun, the Auto Chess wars have. Although a lot of you are sitting in the backseat of this rising phenomenon, calling it a fad, it's still rising. Riot Games has invested heavily in it, banking that it will succeed, with their in-client Lea...

Riot Games, developer of the insanely popular League of Legends, has released a video looking at ten years of development that has gone into creating the MOBA title. As part of the video, we also get our very first look at the previously-te...

It feels like just yesterday when I was running Ryze trying for Pentakills while a friend of mine ran Fiddlesticks in mid. If that's gibberish to you I completely understand, as not everyone has played League of Legends, much less all the w...

League of Legends has earned a lot of cachet over years, and is in part responsible for the worldwide rise of eSports. You could argue that it's already had its due with multiple documentaries, specials, and general interest (and tired) "eS...

A fighting game set in the League of Legends universe seems like a no-brainer for Riot Games. While the company hasn't said that exact scenario is happening, a new fighting game is officially coming. The annual fighting game tournament Evo ...

Auto Chess is on the rise, and as is typical of Riot Games, the studio immediately swooped in and started to take advantage of it with their take on the subgenre, Teamfight Tactics. It's no surprise that given the high amount of polish it's...

The Dota Auto Chess mod kicked off at the beginning of 2019, and started a trend in the process. After reaching an apex of eight million players over a scant few months, the "auto-battler" genre was born, and man did publishers ru...

At the start of May, employees at League of Legends developer Riot Games held a protest at the studio to oppose (among other factors) Forced Arbitration of staff, a contract clause that - succinctly - makes it nigh-on impossible for interna...

Yesterday, over 150 employees walked out of Riot Games' offices in Los Angeles to hold a "down tools"-style protest over the League of Legends publishers handling of recent discrimination lawsuits. The protest was also directed at the compa...

League of Legends' Ahri, Evelynn, [relative newcomer] Kai'Sa and Akali blew up YouTube last week as Riot Games dropped the "POP/STARS" music video. Enamoring players and non-players alike, the video of course was an elaborate commercial for...

Riot might have cemented 5v5 as their bread and butter format for League of Legends, but they're not afraid to experiment with various PVP and PVE modes. Some pass the smell test (ARAM), and some don't (RIP Dominion). Either way every so of...

Riot has always experimented with various gametypes in League of Legends, trying to find that sweet spot where folks will want to take a break from the core 5v5 experience while retaining a healthy queue time. ARAM (all-random all-middle) m...

Mechs vs. Minions is one of the most entertaining board games that's hit my tabletop in some time. If you haven't heard of it the gist is that four players take control of various characters from the League of Legends franchise and do ...

Battle royales are the next big thing. For a minute there it was MMOs (around the time when World of Warcraft was hosting its second expansion) and then it was MOBAs. The next-big-thing phenomenon I'm referring to isn't necessarily ind...

Tyler1, a notorious League of Legends player, hadn't been playing much League lately. Ever since 2016, Tyler1 had been ID banned by Riot for conduct that can be described as toxic and detrimental to the community. Riot actual...

I've heard the phrase "that's it, 1v1, heads-up!" so many times when it comes to video games, mostly with the Halo series. You don't normally think that it's a thing for professional League of Legends players, but there actua...

Riot Games has shaken up League of Legends many times in the past on a mechanical level, but now it's time to alter the way it approaches crafting, items, and the meta-game of leveling. As part of the pre-season patch 7.22, the entire ...

Evelynn, a stealth melee character that's been in League of Legends since 2009, has been reworked. She'll still be stealth oriented, but this time she'll sport new CC capabilities with a charm effect that fits her lore, and an area-of-effec...

When Riot Games hosts an event for League of Legends, they go all-out. An animated intro is par for the course for a limited time event, which is just what they happened to do to promote Star Guardians. As a limited-run PVE mode, it's more ...

A Dutch court has ofund in favour of retired footballer Edgar Davids (pictured) in his lawsuit, filed against Riot Games, over a champion skin for a League of Legends character.The "Striker Lucian" skin, which Riot themselves once admitted ...

When Riot Games does a rework for a character in League of Legends, they don't screw around. Usually they come up with some sort of lore reason for the alteration alongside of the industry standard new abilities. I remember playing Galio wh...

Last year, Riot Games entered the legal arena to shut down League of Legends scripting/cheating site, LeagueSharp, a service that Riot claimed was ruining their game and their cash flow. Months later they've emerged triumphant, with a ...

For most streamers, accumulating an audience is a grind. It takes years of slowly building a community, dedicating day after day to playing games in front of a camera. Eventually, they might have hundreds or even thousands of people tuning ...

League of Legends has been around for nearly eight years now, but Riot was formed a decade ago. I know it's hard for some people to grasp, playing a game for so long, but that's just what I did with League, among several others. It's a test...
