AI generated 144 new characters for LoL based on those that already exist
Artificial intelligence can really surprise with its possibilities.
Riot has always cared about and continues to make sure the characters in LoL are diverse, each with their own personality and distinctive appearance. Sometimes, however, players suggest that it would be possible to go in a slightly different direction. In this particular case, this direction is marked by artificial intelligence.
One of the Reddit users came up with such an experiment. With the help of a special program, he mixed all the current splash art into completely new ones. These are, in some cases, really strange and perhaps disturbing.
144 new splash arts
In LoL, we will find not only typically human or human-like characters, but also many other heroes similar to monsters, animals, or mythical creatures. We can mention here, for example, Soraka, Yuumi, Nasus, Hecarim, Karthus, Mordekaiser, Urgot, or Xerath, and these are just a few of them.
One player decided to mess up the character cauldron even more and by using the AI, he connected all the characters together, adding to them also the older versions of characters such as Riven, Fiddlesticks, Galio, Warwick, and some side heroes or changed forms of the basic ones: Skaarl, Willump, Mega Gnar, Rhaast, renamed Kayn and Valor. What came of it? Here are 144 “new characters” in League of Legends:
We will find here, among others:
Voldemort with a nose,
Vastaya Trundle,
The cat god of the Freljord,
Cool dude.
There are likely to be more of these blends in the future, and perhaps this will be a new trend.
