A recent post on the game’s subreddit showed the experiences of an Asian player encountering racism on American servers. While this isn’t exclusive to one server, the toxicity has left many players contemplating quitting the game.

Riot Games once again showcases its exceptional talent for creating popular, accessible games that engage a large community. This is the case with Valorant, released just four years ago, which enjoys huge popularity, similar to what League of Legends, developed by the same studio, once had.
This first-person shooter game is a direct competitor to the popular Counter-Strike, developed by Valve. In an interview, the team behind this game spoke in depth about its success and compared it to the other most popular title from Riot.

After many years of continuous and absolute success with League of Legends, Riot Games was very satisfied with having this game as its only title. This changed when the studio decided to be more ambitious and began to announce several projects in development.

League of Legends is one of the most celebrated games in the world, with a fan base of millions of people. Riot Games managed to deliver an outstanding Moba game similar to Dota, which was a major cause of criticism during the initial years of its release, but League of Legends managed to stand out and make a special place for itself, and not just because it was a better Moba.
