Legends of Runeterra Awakening
“The blood of the fallen will annoint me the new master.”
Kayn - League of Legends voice line
The spoiler event was straightforward for the broadcast, but the lead-up was shrouded in mystery. The characters focused on were Kayn and Kayn’s scythe weapon, Rhaast. The tone for this event was dark and haunting, a perfect match for an assassin wielding shadow magic and a corrupting scythe. Like other reveal events with Riot, this event had art provided, but the presentation and broadcast were a collaborative effort.
Intro
As this event was a reveal, we avoided showing the headliner during the 'starting soon' timer. To maintain cohesive branding, we used the background and animated it. The energy and goal of this intro was a 'calm before the storm.' Sound effects were mixed and designed by myself and Chris Anema, and we incorporated the Riot-provided theme song.
