At the start of Season 10 League of Legends released a new Cinematic. This causes goosebumps while watching and the fans celebrate Riot for the video. But it’s not only because of the trailer that there are comparisons with Blizzard.
What is this cinematic? The new season starts in LoL on January 10th and to herald these and upcoming innovations, Riot Games has released a new Cinematic.
It shows various champions involved in fights:
- Lux and Garen fight Sylas. A battle between which Galio later intervenes. Sylas himself leads a revolt in Demacia and will join Freijord after the latest lore.
- Caitlyn and Vi meet Urgot.
- Ezreal and Kai’Sa fight together against a horde of voidlings.
In each duel there is a faction that is initially defeated, but continues to fight to gain the upper hand again. In the end, like in the other trailers, there are no winners, only fighters.

Fans celebrate Cinematic and Riot Games
How does the trailer arrive? A few hours after the release, the trailer already has half a million views and 280,000 likes. It is difficult to estimate exactly how the numbers are, since YouTube only updates the data for new videos in waves.
However, the comments below the video and in the reddit are very positive:
- Wigo: “These images and effects were absolutely breathtaking, holy shit, congratulations to Riot and Blur Studio.”
- SedOfAstora: “This is by far the best cinematic they have made in years, maybe even the best ever. I’m not an expert, but this cinematic is not a “cool, look at that.” It’s more like: “Oh my god, I want to play this game more”.
- Dearche: “I love it when the beat of the music hits the content of the trailer, for example when Vi hits someone.”
- Austin Goggans: “Beautiful, just like Blizzard, Riot just knows how to do cinematics.”
Cinematic like from Blizzard: For years, Riot Games and Blizzard in particular have been taking care of themselves epic cinematics celebrated by fans,
But in recent years, Blizzard’s reputation in the general gaming community has declined:
Instead, Riot Games is now celebrated as the “new blizzard”. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the game maker has announced 6 new games, including the card game Legends of Runeterra and an MMO shooter.

It is not yet possible to say whether the new games will convince. In the teaser video for 2020 new LoL champions and updates, innovations for TFT and another test phase for Legends of Runeterra were announced.
2020 should also TFT-Mobile and LoL-Mobile appear. An exciting year in which Riot Games would like to offer more than just LoL.
Not everything about LoL is always positive. The behavior of the players is difficult, as our author Philipp has personally experienced:
I played LoL for the first time – they are really as mean as everyone says
