League of Legends
Since its launch in 2009, League of Legends (often shortened to LoL) has grown from a free-to-play MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) into a cultural phenomenon. Developed by Riot Games, it redefined competitive gaming and helped shape modern esports, drawing millions of players and spectators around the globe. With over 160 champions — each with unique backstories, designs, and playstyles — League of Legends created a deep, interconnected world filled with endless possibilities.
But League didn’t stop at the battlefield. Riot expanded the universe with animated shorts, cinematic trailers, comics, and the acclaimed Netflix series Arcane, which brought characters like Jinx and Vi to a whole new audience. Music projects like K/DA and Pentakill turned champions into virtual pop stars and metal icons, proving League is just as comfortable in a recording studio as it is in the Summoner’s Rift. The franchise now spans games, animation, art, and fashion — a truly global creative force.
