Just as our splash images have evolved ( read about that here!), it's time for our biographies and character backgrounds to do likewise.
The Foundations team (essentially, our world building team) has been doing lots of work over the last few years to really get a solid understanding of Runeterra (check out this Foundations blog on Bilgewater to get a little insight into what the team does). Those were Runeterra's formative years, when we were still getting our own heads around the world, its history, and the people who inhabit it. Back when they were first written, the world of Runeterra was a rather different place than it is now – the world and its civilizations were just starting to get fleshed out. Some of our older bios are starting to show their age they're getting a little creaky around the edges, and some of the details are a little fuzzy. The overall impression has been really positive, so we are now looking to start working on new bios for all our existing champs – though this will take some time! We also wanted to see what you guys thought of them before we plowed blindly ahead. We really wanted to dive a little deeper with those bios – getting into the champions' heads, and adding extra depth. This was a bit of an experiment with a new format for doing bios: half traditional bio, half short piece of fiction. (And if you didn't, go read 'em now – we'll wait for ya!)
#League of legends image update
Should the potential champion pass their Judgement, as well as agreeing to the call of the summon, they will have become an official League champion.ĭuring the Bilgewater Burning Tides event, you may have noticed we took the opportunity to update the bios of key champs featured in the story: Twisted Fate, Graves, Miss Fortune and Gangplank. The primary purpose of the Judgement is to determine whether the individual is capable of exposing their mind to the summoner, which would allow the two to share their mental thoughts and act as one.
In truth, the intentions of the potential champion has little bearing on whether they are accepted into the League or not. There, a designated summoner will probe their mind in order to determine the individual's motives. In order to join the League, a potential champion, who has proven to possess extraordinary qualities, must travel to the Institute of War to undergo a Judgement. For whatever the champion's reason, they have gained the interest of the League of Legends. Some may even be strange creatures from other worlds, hoping to bring stability or further discord to Runeterra. Some are prisoners of the League, forced to do the League's bidding as punishment. Some are renowned warriors who seek to prove themselves against Valoran's most powerful beings. Some are soldiers who have pledged their allegiance to a particular nation and fight in their nation's interests. These champions have joined the League for various reasons. As the League of Legends was established to prevent further Rune Wars on Valoran, the neutral aligned summoners called forth exceptional individuals, referred to as 'champions', to battle on the Fields of Justice in order to settle disputes.
