League of Legends Classic reminds us why we loved the old game and why we left it behind

If we all had a time machine, we would probably use it. If not to change the past, then to experience once again some moments exactly as they happened.

League of Legends Worlds resale tickets soar to $169k, as scalpers cash in

Riot's talking about Twisted Treeline again, but it isn't dropping with League of Legends Classic

We've got Arena, and we've got ARAM Mayhem, but Twisted Treeline remains one of my favorite modes of all time; gone, but very much not forgotten. Wit...

League of Legends Classic - Release date, champions, progression

League of Legends Classic is what it says on the tin: a return to the good ol, rose-tinted days of Riot Games' classic MOBA. Taking us back to Season 3, it's described as more of a "collection of greatest hits" instead of "a singular moment in time," borrowing from various seasons. We've got 60 champions [...]
