Coming out of a World Tournament that elevated e-sports' popularity into the big leagues, Riot Games is planning to take League of Legends mainstream by erasing the distinctions between sports and e-sports.
TNS: "A League of Legends game mode, Arena, will return with some major changes that may breathe some life for a stagnant game."
ESTNN writes: "Hwei, LeBlanc and Ryze stand above the rest as the strongest players in the League of Legends 14.8 mid-lane due to substantial buffs in their scaling, base damage and crowd control (CC) respectively."
ESTNN write: "Our updated guide on the latest champions coming to Summoner's Rift."
Loved this! Pretty cool stuff.
A consistent schedule would be nice. I always hear the results/headlines of matches after the fact because I never know when they're on.
That's some serious cash they're pumping into this. I had no idea people cared that much to watch LOL?
As a fighting-game player, I'm used to seeing e-sports being treated as a derogatory term. It seems like that's where everything is heading towards though.
