Riot Games

Riot Games is an American-based video game company that have released a grand total of one game which was released in October 2009. League of Legends. Now. There are very mixed views on League. Personally I think it's great and I love the character designs, but more on that later.

IGN initially gave the game a rating of 8 out of 10 and it dropped marks due to the player's impatience with new comers. I couldn't agree more with this statement. The LoL community is the most "toxic" of any game I've ever played. Having said this, there is a matchmaking system that will pair you with players of a similar skill level, which, if you're new to the game, it will most likely be bronze players that you're matched with and they will still rage at you for being bad/new despite them being bad themselves. So prepare yourself for that, or alternatively just mute them. They don't know what they're talking about anyway.

Anyway, going off on a tangent. I'm not here to rant or bash bronze players.

Another reason I love (most of the time) League, or to be more precise Riot Games, is because of the cinematics they produce. They have produced quite a number of them in the past but I'm going to talk about one of their latest videos, A New Dawn.

A New Dawn is based on the game play of League of Legends, but they have made it so you get the view of Summoner's Rift (the map in which you play 5v5 games) from the Champion's perspective. The purpose of the cinematic is predominantly to entertain, and is likely to be aimed at the fan base of League, so consequently range of ages. Each character has a different Lore, personality and abilities, and the cinematic can help you understand these a bit better, which is why it is likely to be aimed at the fan base, as people who don't play the game might not be aware that the characters have a background and that there's actually a story behind the game. 

The video is also most likely to be used to promote Riot Games and League. The video shows the viewer what the game is about in an interesting and entertaining approach. It gives you a feel for what the game is like and gives you a preview of a couple of the champions and what they can do. The cinematic then ends with the logo of the game, so it will leave those who enjoyed the video curious about it, and will most likely try it out.
