League of Legends: Wild Rift is close to completing its final pre-launch testing. We're learning more and more about this new version of League of Legends for mobiles and consoles — but as new content becomes known, the situation worsens in regards to comparing the artistic design.
This version of the game is far outpacing the original in some ways, and the community is not happy.
