Riot has just announced that NEOM, a project by the Saudi government, will be a new main sponsor for their European League of Legends broadcast.

This after they celebrated the Berlin Pride earlier this week and are still using a "pride" version of their logo as Twitter icon.

Not sure if its better or worse than what Bethesda does. They have multiple Twitter accounts for different regions and they all changed their icons to rainbow versions except for the middle eastern one.

People still play league of legends? Its a flawed game. With hundreds of champions, different item builds and runes and masteries. The game is designed to be un-balanced AF.

They've been so about inclusivity and diversity lately that I didn't think they'd partner up with a state government that openly supports executing homosexuals.

It's not nearly as bad as you think it is. I've been playing for about 4 years now and IMO the game is more balanced now than it has ever been. And should some broken strategy emerge, it's quickly adressed.

LOL was always fairly well balanced when I played it with the occasional hiccup.

Riot is horrible though

Being tolerant of intolerance.

Really? They're owned by a government that is currently putting people into concentration camps.

Violating human rights are right up their alley.

nah, I started in season 1.

Season 2 and the first part of 3 were the most balanced.

after that its been a shift between jungle, top, and mid dominance over and over. ADCs go from being relatively useless to being decent late game carries, but not hard enough carries to justify the time it takes to get going.

i still play for fun now, Ive been Diamond for multiple seasons and was a regular on the boards/community here. Itd never really returned to Dota levels of balance which is fine tbh.

But it still fluctuates a lot between hilariously broken roles.
