9. It has been the subject of many esports tournaments and has attracted international players from all over the world. As the LoL community continues to grow, so does the fascination with the game's development and design. Today, we're going to take a look behind the scenes and explore some lesser-known facts about the game. The game's backstory is inspired by Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos The concept of LoL's backstory comes from a mod of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos called Defense of the Ancients (DotA). This mod was created by a community of enthusiasts who intended to create a game that was similar to Tower Defense. However, over time, the mod evolved into a multiplayer game that pits two teams against each other in a battle to destroy each other's nexus. The actual game of LoL is very different from DotA, but its original concept was inspired by it. Riot Games was created by two college students Marc Merrill and Brandon Beck, the co-founders of Riot Games, met while studying at the University of Southern California. As League of Legends gained popularity, Merrill and Beck's company continued to grow. Merrill announced his departure from the company in 2019, but the game's success continues under the leadership of Beck. The game's original name was "League of Legends: Clash of Fates" Before the game was released, Riot Games referred to LoL as "League of Legends: Clash of Fates." The team thought this name was too long, and they eventually decided to drop the subtitle. As we know it now, the game is called simply, "League of Legends." The development team had to create a new language for the game's lore The game's backstory involves a vast and intricate world populated by many characters and factions. To create a unique language that would fit this fantasy world, the development team had to work with a professional linguist. This new language, called Shuriman, can be seen in the game's lore and is spoken by certain characters in the game. Riot Games has a dedicated team for the game's music The game's music is something that often goes unnoticed, but it plays an essential role in setting the mood and atmosphere of the game. Riot Games has a dedicated team of composers and musicians who work together to create the game's soundtrack. This team is responsible for creating the iconic character themes like Jinx's "Get Jinxed" and Yasuo's "The Unforgiven." In conclusion, these are just a few facts about the making of League of Legends. From its humble beginnings as a mod to a global esports phenomenon, the game's history is fascinating. As the game continues to evolve and grow, we can only wait and see what new innovations and exciting features the developers are working on behind the scenes.
