The relatively new MOBA genre has seen a massive surge in popularity over the last few years, due mainly to the popularity of
DotA remakes like
League of Legends and
Heroes of Newerth. It's hard to believe it, but
League of Legends is already almost two years old. The free-to-play giant celebrates its second birthday this Thursday the 27th of October, and the developers at
Riot Games aim to make sure the day goes down in players' memories.
Celebrations have been planned for the big day, but Riot is keeping the details a secret until the day. Players are urged to keep an eye on the
LoL website on Thursday.
To help celebrate reaching the two year mark, Riot has released
an interactive development timeline page showing the game's development from launch day all the way up to last week's Graves patch. The timeline shows when each of LoL's champions was implemented, as well as major developments like the Twisted Treeline 3v3 map, the player-mediated banning tribunal and the recent release of the Dominion game mode.
