The upcoming visual makeover of League of Legends
The popular online game, League of Legends, is set to receive a visual makeover. Riot Games, the developer of the game, has released a video showcasing the thought process behind the beautiful changes that will be made to the game’s battleground, the Summoner’s Rift.
A tour of the updated map
The video takes viewers on a tour of the map, highlighting how the visual updates not only make the game more visually appealing, but also improve its functionality.
Making gameplay information more readable
The narrator in the video explains that the aim of the visual updates is to improve the readability of gameplay information. The visual design will prioritize the User Interface, followed by champion abilities and summoner spells, champions and monsters, and finally, the map itself.
Improved readability and indicators
Each quadrant of the jungle will have its own visual cues, allowing players to better navigate the map by using their surroundings, rather than solely relying on the minimap. Bases and the minions spawned from them will also have clear indicators, enhancing the clarity of what is happening in the game.
A timeless art style
The updated visuals will feature a hand-crafted art style with pastel colors, giving the game a timeless feel. The developers believe this art style will continue to evolve and remain appealing as graphics technology advances in the future.
Overall, the visual changes are expected to greatly enhance gameplay and make esports viewing more enjoyable. However, it is important to note that these updates are still a work in progress and it is unclear when they will be implemented on the live server.
