A New Chapter in the History of League of Legends
Riot Games has dropped a real bombshell! The well-known summoner names that we all know and love will gradually be replaced by Riot IDs. Yes, you heard that right. The days of your summoner name are numbered. But don't worry, we're here to guide you through this transition.
Why this sudden change? Well, Riot Games explains that it all has to do with the history of Runeterra, the fictional universe of League of Legends. Over time, the focus has shifted from the all-powerful summoner to the champion themselves. And this change reflects exactly that.
How does the name change work?
The name change process begins on Wednesday, November 20th. But don't worry, you won't immediately lose your beloved Summoner name. The change will be implemented gradually. And the best part? Once a year, you'll receive a free name change! However, if you feel the need to change your name more often, you'll have to pay a small fee, just like in the current Summoner name system.
Why is this change important?
This change is more than just a simple name switch. It's a step towards a deeper and richer game narrative. By shifting the focus from the summoners to the champions, the game becomes even more immersive, allowing players to form a stronger connection with their favorite characters.
What does this mean for you?
You might be wondering what all of this means for you. Well, aside from the fact that you'll be getting a new name, not much will change. You can still play your favorite champions and strive to dominate the League of Legends. But now, you have the opportunity to add a more personal touch to your character through a unique Riot ID.
Conclusion
Although this change may come as a surprise to some players, we believe that it will ultimately lead to a better gaming experience. By shifting the focus to the individual characters and less on the all-powerful summoners, we can establish a deeper connection to the game and its characters. And who knows? Maybe through your new Riot ID, you'll discover a whole new side of your favorite champion in League of Legends.
