Stare splash arty z LoLa mogą przerazić. Jak prezentowały się portrety bohaterów we wczesnych latach gry?


It’s hard to believe sometimes, but League of Legends is a game that’s almost 13 years old. Today it is one of the most popular titles in the world and it does not seem to change anytime soon. LoL is extremely successful, and its universe is appreciated even by people who have never played on Summoner’s Rift. Just look at the Arcane series, which turned out to be the biggest hit of 2021 and won a lot of awards, and was ranked first in several countries.

The art of League of Legends is known for its really polished and interesting, better and better models of heroes and breathtaking cinematics, which are often so pampered that it is hard to forget about them.

The game has grown so much over the years that it’s hard for new players to believe what it all looked like over 10 years ago. And it cannot be hidden – the early LoL graphics were not the most beautiful.

Old splash art from LoL

Angular faces, strange proportions, expressions making one anxious, and incredibly simple backgrounds – that’s how old League of Legends artwork can be described. Some of them look so bad today that it’s hard to believe that something like this really was in the game.

Of course, what can be seen above are just a few examples, because there were many more strange graphics. Today, grim portraits of heroes terrify novice players.

However, it cannot be denied that the old graphics have something in them and League of Legends veterans look at them with a feeling of nostalgia. Probably many fans of the game would like to return to Season One for just one day and feel the excitement of discovering the characters and what they can do on Summoner’s Rift.
